Overview
All Elite Wrestling, commonly known as AEW, is an American professional wrestling promotion founded in 2019 by Tony Khan. It operates through televised and streamed wrestling programs, live events, and pay-per-view-style special events. The brand is associated with an athletic presentation, serialized storytelling, and a broad roster of wrestlers and teams with different in-ring styles. Its principal programming has included AEW Dynamite, AEW Rampage, and AEW Collision, alongside recurring major events. Since its launch, AEW has become one of the significant promotions in the American professional wrestling market and has expanded its reach through media and international distribution partnerships. Its programming, event portfolio, and commercial relationships remain subject to change as the company develops.
History
All Elite Wrestling was established in the United States in 2019 by Tony Khan. Its launch came into a U.S. professional wrestling market that had long been dominated by a small number of major promotions. AEW sought to build a new national promotion through original television programming, live events, and a distinctive wrestler roster. After using special events to establish the brand, the company launched AEW Dynamite as a regular television program. It later expanded its programming with AEW Rampage and AEW Collision, developing a structure that combines weekly shows, live touring, and major special events. The brand has emphasized an athletic presentation, wrestler diversity, creative storytelling, and international distribution. Public disclosure about the private company’s governance, financial performance, and ownership arrangements is limited, so specific financial or operational claims should not be inferred without reliable sources.
