AEW saw a demand in the market for hardcore wrestling matches. This subsection of fans were hungry for violent matches, many of them being ECW fans previously. These fans have long demanded a more hardcore style of matches from the major wrestling companies. AEW finally managed to quench their bloodthirst.

Another factor that helped AEW in this venture was that the roster was willing to put their bodies on the line purely due to their admiration and passion for hardcore matches. Wrestlers like Jon Moxley, Joey Janella, Jimmy Havoc and Darby Allin are some of the craziest hardcore specialists of this generation.

A few matches that demand special recognition are

1. Darby Allin vs Jimmy Havoc vs Joey Janela (Cracker Barrel Clash) - All Out.

2.The Young Bucks vs Lucha Bros (Ladder match) - All Out.

3.Kenny Omega vs Jon Moxley (Non-Sanctioned Match) - Full Gear.

4.Cody vs Dustin Rhodes - Double Or Nothing.

5.Kenny Omega vs Jon Moxley (Exploding barbed wire deathmatch)- Revolution.

6.Thunder Rosa vs Britt Baker (Lights out match) - Dynamite.

All of these bouts are worth a match if you haven't seen them yet.
