Regular tournaments
[edit]Dynamite Diamond Ring
[edit]Since 2019, AEW has held a mini-tournament held late in the year to determine that year's recipient of the Dynamite Diamond Ring. The first round consists of the Dynamite Dozen Battle Royale, a twelve-man battle royal in which twelve wrestlers compete for the right to challenge for the ring. Between 2019 and 2021, the battle royale had two co-winners, who qualified for a final singles match to determine the ring's winner; since 2022, the ring holder has received a bye to the final. In 2024, the battle royale returned to a two-winner format, with the co-winners then facing each other for the right to challenge for the ring. MJF is the sole, six-time winner of the ring.

Owen Hart Cup
[edit]The Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, also known as the Owen Hart Cup, or simply, the Owen, is AEW's first regular major tournament. Held annually in the mid-year in collaboration with the Owen Hart Foundation, it consists of two eight-wrestler single-elimination tournaments – one for each gender – with the winner receiving a commemorative championship belt and, beginning in 2024, a world championship match at All In, AEW's biggest show of the year.

Continental Classic
[edit]The Continental Classic (C2) is AEW's second major regular tournament. Held annually at the end of the year, it is a round-robin tournament not unlike New Japan Pro-Wrestling's G1 Climax; two blocks of six wrestlers (twelve in total) wrestle each other to qualify for a short play-off tournament which culminates at the final pay-per-view of the year, Worlds End. The prize for winning the tournament in 2023 and 2024 is the AEW Continental Championship.
