4) Tag team wrestling continued to excel on an even higher level
Upon the inception of AEW, The Young Bucks stated that the company would be presenting the best tag team wrestling in the world.
They have achieved this goal by assembling amazing duos and consistently producing great matches in their tag team division. The company's first two years have seen them excel, and 2021 has once again reached greatness.
The Young Bucks came into the new year as the AEW World Tag Team Champions. Matt and Nick Jackson turned heel and reunited with former Bullet Club members Kenny Omega and the Good Brothers. In either role, they delivered bangers with the Inner Circle, Death Triangle, and SCU.
Their eventual loss against The Lucha Brothers in a Steel Cage Match was one of the greatest matches of the year. Rey Fenix and Penta El Zero Miedo have also been show-stealers themselves. FTR, Jurassic Express, and Proud N Powerful all stood out in a great year of tag team wrestling in AEW.
3) There are four pillars of AEW, but also much more
Despite having main eventers like Kenny Omega, Jon Moxley, and Chris Jericho, All Elite Wrestling have stayed motivated to build their future by focusing on their young stars. This year has seen even more spotlight on MJF, Darby Allin, Jungle Boy, and Sammy Guevara. The Salt of The Earth even coined the phrase, "the four pillars of AEW." Each man has been a part of memorable moments in 2021.
However, these four stars aren't the only ones that AEW has pushed forward. Dante Martin had a few breakout moments, proving to be one of the best high-flyers in the business. Team Taz has three future talents in Ricky Starks, Powerhouse Hobbs, and the widely popular Hook. The likes of Red Velvet, Kris Statlander, Daniel Garcia, and Lee Moriarty also give the company so much hope for the future.
