10 Exact Moments AEW Forced You To Be ALL IN
3. A Brothers' War (Double Or Nothing 2019)
Returning to the inaugural All Elite PPV now, and to the company's first-ever five-star masterpiece.
On a night that threw a tag team spectacular, blockbuster number one contender main event, and dreamlike debut of a long-time top WWE star at audiences, it was a brothers' classic that grabbed the majority of the headlines.
In fact, it was a fan on Twitter feeling this hugely moving fight between Cody and Dustin Rhodes was the moment that they realised AEW was going to be "special" that inspired this very list!
And it's not too hard to see why this was the bout that forced them to go all in on all things Elite.
Heading into the emotionally-charged family affair, the 'American Nightmare' was hellbent on killing the 'Attitude Era' and putting his brother out of his misery. But no one was honestly ready for the gruelling struggle on the horizon, with a horrifically bloodied Dustin defiantly refusing to stay down before eventually being obliterated by his younger sibling.
Numerous wonderful near-falls, a simple but hugely effective story, and a post-match visual that was as affecting as the bout that came before it, this was utterly mesmerising pro wrestling storytelling and the beginning of many people's four-year love affair with the promotion.
