Background
The beginning of AWE started with the inaugural AWE Championship Tournament. 24 men were divided up into three separate 8-man brackets, with the both sets of Finals (bracket and 3-way) taking place at AWE's inaugural special event: Ballroom Blitz.

Episode 1 featured the A-Bracket, featuring the likes of AWE Originals such as Ray Reed, Xander Rivera, Gary West, Michael Sullivan and Bryce Beauchamp, and others that originated outside of AWE, but would eventually become mainstays in the years to come. These would include Rabid, Mighty Ugg, and Daas Wheedon.

The first match in AWE history pitted Rabid against Ray Reed. Despite being a favorite to go to the finals, Ray Reed managed. to pull off the upset, getting the win with Dr. Teeth. Next we would see Mighty Ugg, one half of the Mighty War Boars tag team, face Xander Rivera, in which Rivera would emerge victorious, advancing in the tournament. In the third match of the evening, Daas Wheedon would advance against Gary West, one half of the West Brothers, after chucking West halfway across the ring with a powerbomb. Finally, in the first AWE main event, Michael Sullivan, one half of United We Fall, would get the win over Bryce Beauchamp, though by dubious circumstances, getting his feet on the ropes during the pinfall.
