Every AEW Pay-Per-View Ranked - From Worst To Best
1. All Out 2021
All Out 2021 was a night so loaded with incident, drama, and joy that it's hard to know where to begin talking about it. CM Punk's first in-ring appearance since the 2013 Royal Rumble had the eyes of the world watching in Chicago (where else?), but the return of the Best In The World would be just one of a truckload of incidents to make up the best PPV that Tony Khan has put on up to this point.
CM Punk's victory over Darby Allin was the perfect start to his time in AEW, but it would be the signings of Adam Cole and Bryan Danielson that would capture the night's headlines. Cole's arrival and heel turn to join The Elite following Kenny Omega's successful AEW Championship win over Christian Cage, was directly followed by the reveal of Bryan Danielson, causing a reaction that could be measured on the Richter scale.
Throw in the unforgettably violent steel cage match between the Young Bucks and Lucha Bros for the AEW Tag Team Championship, Ruby Soho's shock return to win the women's Casino Battle Royale ("hi Bryce"), Miro and Eddie Kingston going to war, and a seriously underrated end-of-feud match between Chris Jericho and MJF, and this was a PPV for the ages.
