Becoming All The Rise Of AEW, penned by WhatCulture.com’s Michael Sidgwick (Development The NXT Story), chronicles the short but powerful history of All Elite Wrestling - the first North American wrestling promotion in nearly two decades to challenge Vince McMahon's WWE-led monopoly. In less than two years, AEW has captured the imagination of wrestling fans exhausted by McMahon's output. Owned and operated by billionaire Tony Khan in league with a slate of in-ring Executive Vice Presidents that created a viable vision and wrestling world within which it could thrive, the company has become an industry mainstay overnight. It's the story of an independent scene WWE at once courted and rejected, of Cody Rhodes, Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks making good on lofty promises to change the world, and of pro wrestling history repeating itself as a ratings and stylistic war symbolised the confirmation of a bold new era.
