AEW Almost Went With An Entirely Different Original Name

AEW has been on a rollercoaster of transformations for the past four years, and most of them have been pretty darn awesome since they burst onto the scene in 2019. But hold onto your hats, folks, because there’s a shocking revelation about their original name plan.

Picture this: Tony Khan, Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, and Cody Rhodes teaming up to create the ultimate alternative to WWE. They had a vision, and boy, did they execute it!

On the latest episode of Hey! (EW), The Young Bucks dropped a bombshell that’s making wrestling fans everywhere breathe a sigh of relief. Brace yourselves because All Elite Wrestling was this close to being dubbed “World’s Best Wrestling.” Can you imagine?

“Yeah, it was almost ‘World’s Best Wrestling,’ so thank the wrestling gods that AEW is what it is today,” The Young Bucks spilled the beans.

”Well, it was close to being called “World’s Best Wrestling,’ so AEW is definitely better than that.”

But hold on tight, folks! AEW isn’t just resting on its laurels. They’re still shaking things up, after dealing with a few technical hiccups along the way. Stay tuned, because AEW is cooking up some surprises for all you fans in the coming weeks.
