Every AEW PPV Main Event (So Far) Ranked Worst To Best

12. Jon Moxley Vs. Kenny Omega (Full Gear 2019)

As of this writing, the 2019 Full Gear main event is AEW's most divisive contest.

While your writer can traditionally stomach such stipulation affairs, Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley went entirely too far too soon. This was the first pay-per-view post-Dynamite launching on TNT, mind; more eyes would now be open to an alternative televised wrestling product.

A family could have easily become engrossed in All Elite Wrestling because their child became infatuated with Orange Cassidy. What, then, will that same child think when they see Kenny Omega hanging Jon Moxley over the ropes with a chain, as shown in the above image? The story at that point didn't justify such a spot. It hadn't gotten personal enough for the now-AEW World Champion to attempt to kill his opponent.

It's frustrating, really, as the actual wrestling was fairly good when you got past the excessive weapon usage. Omega missing a Phoenix splash to land atop the exposed ring boards served well as a closing spot, but that suplex off the ramp, and into a pit of barbed wire would have succeeded more had it been the cliffhanger ending to a pre-Full Gear Dynamite.

Had it not been as needlessly violent as it was, this would have ranked higher for sure.
