The 2021 Road Rager was the inaugural Road Rager professional wrestling television special produced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). It was held on July 7, 2021, in Miami, Florida at the James L. Knight Center and was broadcast live on TNT as a special episode of AEW's weekly television program, Dynamite. The event marked AEW's resumption of live touring during the COVID-19 pandemic, following a year of producing shows at Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida, also becoming the first major wrestling promotion to resume live touring during the pandemic. As such, it was the first of four episodes in AEW's "Welcome Back" tour. At the time, it was the largest attended wrestling event during the pandemic outside of WWE's WrestleMania 37 in April and AEW's own Double or Nothing in May.

Five matches were contested at the event. In the main event, The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) defeated Eddie Kingston and Penta El Zero Miedo in a Street Fight to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship. In other prominent matches, Andrade El Idolo (making his AEW in-ring debut) defeated Matt Sydal and The Pinnacle (Wardlow, Dax Harwood, and Cash Wheeler) defeated The Inner Circle (Jake Hager, Santana and Ortiz). The event was also notable for the AEW debut appearance of Malakai Black, formerly Aleister Black in WWE.
