On Monday, AEW organized its first AEW Dynasty PPV with a stacked card. The night was widely praised by pro wrestling fans, and veterans due to the outstanding performance of the AEW Superstars.

Multiable new champions were crowned, mainly Swerve Strickland became the new AEW World Champion. The 33-year-old star, who is one of the hottest names in the promotion, is the first African-American athlete to capture the title and the 8th AEW Superstar to hold the title, joining MJF, Jon Moxley, Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, Adam Page, CM Punk, and Samoa Joe. 

Various fans recalled Cody Rhodes victory with the WWE title after defeating Roman Reings at WrestleMania 40 early this month, and the victory of Strickland as both stars faced each other in the first ever Defy main event in 2017.
