10 Best AEW Matches So Far

10. Darby Allin Vs. Jimmy Havoc Vs. Joey Janela - All Out

Allin put his body on the line for the cause in this insane match, just as Jimmy Havoc did when chowing down on a mouthful of thumbtacks, or Joey Janela did when taking a tack covered skateboard to the back. Nevertheless, Allin's Coffin Drop through the aforementioned barrel onto steel steps is a spot AEW fans will never forget.

This contest was the perfect concoction of comedy, hardcore brutality, wrestling psychology, and wrestlers who didn't give a sh*t about pain. A modern-day masterpiece for a generation of lapsed fans, this was an early example of All Elite Wrestling showing that they were creative, expressive, and (most importantly) different.
