Every AEW Pay-Per-View Ranked - From Worst To Best
Where the best wrestle, and where the money is made - it's AEW's history on PPV ranked!
Say what you will about All Elite Wrestling, their PPVs have gained a justified reputation as unmissable events on the pro wrestling calendar. That isn't to say they haven't had misfires over the years, but even when they go through ups and downs creatively, they can usually be relied upon to put on incredible matches with big pay-offs at their PPVs.
In less than 10 years as a company, AEW's PPVs have seen gut-wrenching retirement matches, tournament winners crowned, and long-term stories get unforgettable payoffs for the ages. From cross-promotional chaos to double debuts, All Elite Wrestling has ensured its PPVs are unmissable events. Not everything has worked (literally in the case of an exploding ring that one time), but for every Mimosa Mayhem moment, there has been a deluge of incredible in-ring action, extreme violence and intensity, and nights to remember.
Settle in as we take you through the good, the bad, and the controversial in a ranking list that is truly for The Sickos. This is the definitive list of AEW PPVs to date, ranked from worst to best.
45. Fyter Fest 2019
Fyter Fest has become one of the many "event shows" on Dynamite, but it started life as a PPV before AEW had a permanent TV deal. It feels a little unfair to rag on a PPV that was free-to-air in the US, considering that the company was unable to tell stories for audiences to get their teeth into outside of Being The Elite. That said, this card has little of the quality AEW would make their forte on PPV.
Jon Moxley beat Joey Janella in an Unsanctioned Match, but ended the night being attacked by Kenny Omega. Omega was out for revenge after Moxley brutalized him following his loss to Chris Jericho at the end of Double Or Nothing, continuing one of the feuds that would define AEW's early years. Cody Rhodes helped Darby Allin to showcase his brilliance as they fought to a time-limit draw, but the match was marred with controversy as Cody took an unguarded chair shot to the head from Shawn Spears after the match, requiring 12 stitches in the aftermath.
The Elite defeated The Lucha Bros and Laredo Kid in a solid six-man tag, but the rest of the card featured little that has stood the test of time (especially in comparison to the high-quality PPVs AEW would begin producing).
