5 Most hyped title changes in AEW history

#4 Jon Moxley winning the World Championship at AEW Revolution 2020

Moxley won the big one at Revolution 2020

Jon Moxley made his shock AEW debut at the tail end of the company's first pay-per-view, Double Or Nothing 2019. The former WWE Champion left the biggest promotion and a lucrative deal to bet on himself.

He wanted freedom and a chance to prove his way could work. All Elite Wrestling gave Moxley that chance, and he was making the most of it immediately.

Moxley made an impact by attacking Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho during his initial arrival. Jericho went on to win the AEW World Championship at the next major event, but he always knew Moxley would be hunting him down. A wonderfully orchestrated buildup followed where Moxley and Le Champion turned the intensity up with every passing week.

This culminated with Moxley beating Jericho at Revolution 2020 to win the AEW World Championship in front of a sold-out Chicago crowd. It was even more significant in retrospect as Mox won the top prize at the last major show in front of fans for 16 months in All Elite Wrestling.

#3 Kenny Omega winning the AEW World Title on Dynamite: Winter Is Coming 2020

Jon Moxley added prestige to the AEW World Title during a difficult pandemic as a fighting babyface champion. He overcame all the challengers, from Darby Allin to Eddie Kingston. This all led to a showdown with his first rival in the promotion, Kenny Omega.

The Cleaner won the AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament by beating his former World Tag Team Championship partner, Hangman Page, at Full Gear 2020. Omega wanted to avenge his loss at Full Gear 2019 when Moxley beat him in a Lights Out match.

The Winter Is Coming special of AEW Dynamite saw this highly anticipated rematch, and it met the lofty expectations heading in.

Omega used the help of Don Callis to beat Jon Moxley and win the AEW World Championship.
