If someone had never watched AEW before and wanted to understand what the promotion offers, which match would you show them? Would you choose a technical match, a high-flying bout, a major championship match, or something driven mainly by storyline?

I’d show a new fan Kenny Omega vs. Bryan Danielson from Grand Slam 2021. It’s easy to appreciate even without knowing every AEW storyline, with strong wrestling, a great crowd, and two wrestlers who can tell a story through their performances. It gives a good idea of what AEW can offer.

I’d probably choose a major championship match with a strong storyline behind it. A new fan can see the wrestling, crowd reactions, personalities, and emotional side of AEW in one package. A match that makes you care about who wins is more likely to keep someone watching afterward.
