All Elite Wrestling
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is an American professional wrestling promotion based in Jacksonville, Florida. It is majority owned and operated by Tony Khan, who serves as president and chief executive officer. With an estimated value of US$2 billion, AEW is the second-largest wrestling promotion in the world, behind World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), and the third most valuable combat sports-related promotion in the world, after WWE and its sibling company Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
AEW was founded in 2019 by Khan with professional wrestlers Kenny Omega, Cody Rhodes, and brothers Matt and Nick Jackson serving as initial co-executive vice presidents, following the success of the independent wrestling event All In in 2018. AEW's roster primarily appears on its weekly broadcast television shows Dynamite and Collision, as well as on its streaming and pay-per-view (PPV) programming. AEW wrestlers have also appeared at events produced by or co-produced with other promotions, including Ring of Honor (ROH), which was acquired by Khan in 2022. AEW's programming is available in 220 territories in 50 languages.
As with other professional wrestling promotions, AEW does not promote a legitimate sporting contest but athletic, entertainment-based, predetermined contests, featuring storyline-driven, scripted, and partially choreographed matches. However, matches require considerable athletic skill and often include moves that can put performers at risk of serious injury or death if not performed correctly.
