10 Times AEW Were Moments From Disaster
1. All In's Main Event Almost Doesn't Air
In a sweet mirroring of another industry-altering pay-per-view, the transcendent All In show that helped birth AEW almost went off the air before the conclusion of a blistering and star-studded main event.
Rooted in the show's DNA as well as being two of the best talents in the entire industry, The Young Bucks were perfect figures to headline the show, and alongside Kota Ibushi, their trios effort against Bandido, Rey Fenix and Rey Mysterio promised electrifying, eye-popping and - crucially - futuristic action. Good job, too.
After Marty Scurll and Kazuchika Okada went approximately 10 minutes over their allotted time, the six had to hit fast forward on their match (and hit the finish) before the whole show went off the air. Bound to the timescales of pay-per-view provider, the very future of AEW could have been changed forever had the wrestlers not proven themselves capable of getting a show out in the way it was intended, rather than inadvertently screwing the paying customers out of their promised headline attraction.
