5 ways that AEW stands apart from the competition

#3 The Forbidden door was unlocked by AEW

The "Forbidden Door" Tony Khan.

AEW owner Tony Khan has pulled several surprises out of his sleeve so far. He has managed the incredible task of establishing a working relationship between AEW and AAA, Impact, and most recently, NJPW. Such a pact has made it possible to have stars like The Good Brothers, Kenta, and Laredo Kid appear and have brilliant matches in AEW.

For a long time, the fans never got their dream matches. It was a fan's unworkable fantasy to see cross-promotional matches in the wrestling industry. Who would have thought that this would be a real deal which was put into motion by AEW?

As an historic gift to the IMPACT fans, @KennyOmegamanX and @TheDonCallis treated us to @JonMoxley's nameplate being removed from the @AEW World Championship and replaced with Kenny Omega's. #IMPACTonAXSTV pic.twitter.com/Ua6zFsQUiA

The prospect of matches that this relationship creates is endless. AEW might not have gone full-throttle on this idea yet, which is understandable due to imposed travel restrictions during the pandemic. But once things go back to normal, we can expect to see a lot of cross-promotional storylines, brand warfare, power struggles, stable fights and maybe even a hostile takeover!

In the end, these partnerships help everyone by inviting new eyes to their products.
