AEW president Tony Khan was a recent guest on Barstool Sports’ My Mom’s Basement podcast, where he named off some of his personal choices for the Best of 2021. For Match of the Year, Khan went with the Britt Baker vs. Thunder Rosa Lights Out Match from St. Patrick’s Day Slam and the Steel Cage Match between The Young Bucks and Lucha Brothers at the All Out pay-per-view. Khan picked CM Punk’s AEW debut and Bryan Danielson & Adam Cole’s surprise arrivals at All Out for best moments, then for Breakout Performer of the Year he named AEW Women’s World Champion Dr. Britt Baker while giving nods to AEW’s four pillars — MJF, Darby Allin, Sammy Guevara and Jungle Boy.
