The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Tony Khan sees the Lights Out match as AEW’s signature match for settling feuds, similar to how cage matches or the Hell in a Cell match used to be back in the day.
On Wednesday's episode of AEW Dynamite, Thunder Rosa vs. Britt Baker mained evented in a Lights, the fourth of its kind.
The other Lights Out matches were Jon Moxley vs. Joey Janela from Fyter Fest 2019, Kenny Omega vs. Joey Janela from a 2019 episode of AEW Dark and Moxley vs. Omega at Full Gear 2019.
The idea is that the no DQ, no count out, falls count anywhere match is always unsanctioned and the result doesn’t affect win/loss records. It was made popular by Eddie Graham in the 1970s in Florida.
