Description
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is an American professional wrestling promotion based in Jacksonville, Florida. It is owned by father and son duo Shahid and Tony Khan, with the latter serving as president and chief executive officer. AEW is headquartered at EverBank Stadium, which is also the headquarters of its sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH) and the home of the National Football League's Jacksonville Jaguars, which is also owned by Shahid Khan.
AEW was founded on January 1, 2019 by Tony Khan and professional wrestlers Matt and Nick Jackson, Cody Rhodes, and Kenny Omega, who all served as co-executive vice presidents. After signing with WarnerMedia that May, AEW launched its flagship weekly television series Dynamite in October 2019, which aired initially on TNT and now airs on TBS. AEW produces one other weekly television series— Collision (launched in June 2023)—as well as seasonal programs and regular television specials, such as Battle of the Belts. It previously produced other weekly television series Rampage until December 2024, the YouTube streaming series Dark and Dark: Elevation until April 2023, and airs several YouTube-exclusive programs.
AEW holds live and taped events throughout the U.S. and internationally. Its biggest and flagship annual pay-per-view (PPV) event is All In, whose inaugural iteration led to the promotion's founding, the event itself being comparable in size and scope to WWE's WrestleMania. AEW's other largest PPV shows All Out, Double or Nothing, Full Gear, and Revolution, which are produced quarterly and considered (with All In) its "Big Five" events. AEW first expanded abroad in October 2022, when it held a live broadcast of Dynamite in Toronto, Canada, followed by a Rampage taping the next night at the same venue. The promotion held its first PPV outside North America in August 2023 with All In London at Wembley Stadium, which also marked AEW's debut in the United Kingdom.
In addition to sister promotion ROH, which is also owned by Tony Khan, AEW has partnerships with several independent promotions outside the U.S., particularly in Mexico and Japan. In June 2022, it held the inaugural Forbidden Door PPV event and supershow with Japan-based promotion New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) in Chicago; a second iteration was held the following year in Toronto, which marked AEW's first PPV outside the U.S. and NJPW's first traditional PPV in Canada.
AEW is considered one of the largest wrestling promotions in the world, ahead of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and second only to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) by annual revenue. In 2024, AEW was ranked by Forbes as the third most valuable combat sports organization in the world, after Ultimate Fighting Championship and WWE, with an estimated value of $2 billion.
