6 Wrestling legends who have appeared only once in AEW 

#3 Gangrel at AEW Full Gear

AEW loves to tease its audiences and embrace the weirdness that comes with it. At the height of the pandemic in 2020, Matt Hardy and Sammy Guevara were in the midst of their feud. Their feud culminated at 'The Elite Deletion' match at the Hardy Compound, which aired on the Full Gear pay-per-view.

The match itself could be described in two words: Glorious Insanity. Given that Matt Hardy was involved, the match was entertaining. Hardy was one of the progenitors of the cinematic match; it referenced a more expansive wrestling universe and had cameos by The Hurricane and Gangrel.

For those unaware, Gangrel has been part of pro-wrestling for many years now. He was at the height of his popularity when he formed The Brood with Edge and Christian in WWE. The faction would be integrated into the Ministry of Darkness, but they eventually split from the group.

The Brood would feud with The Hardy Boyz. Gangrel would turn on Edge and Christian and then manage Matt and Jeff Hardy, but that alliance never lasted. Like all of Matt Hardy's Deletion matches, it references wrestling history, and Gangrel showing on an AEW PPV is just a tip of the hat to that history.
