AEW’s All Out pay-per-view is undoubtedly one of the most highly anticipated events in recent memory. With a solid card from top to bottom, AEW has ensured fans will be entertained throughout the night.
AEW World Championship: Will Ospreay (c) vs. Jon Moxley
Will Ospreay’s first AEW World Championship defense is a pretty big one. Ospreay finally captured the title from Kenny Omega at All In London, but Jon Moxley was announced as his first challenger just days later. That immediately changed the strange relationship the two had developed over the previous several months. Moxley also walks into All Out as Continental Champion and already has four AEW World Championship reigns behind him. Ospreay, meanwhile, has barely had time to settle in as champion. So we’ll have to see if Ospreay can retain the title somehow.
AEW World Tag Team Championship Ladder Match: Christian Cage & Adam Copeland (c) vs. The Young Bucks vs. FTR
Christian Cage and Adam Copeland defend against The Young Bucks and FTR in a three-way Ladder Match. Copeland and Cage retained against Matt and Nick Jackson at All In London, but FTR returned afterwards and immediately put themselves back into the title picture.
There is also some history sitting underneath all of this. FTR and the Bucks are both three-time AEW World Tag Team Champions, meaning either team could leave Chicago with a record fourth reign. Copeland and Cage obviously know their way around ladders too, so this is about as stacked as an AEW tag title match can get.
AEW World Trios Championship: Swerve Strickland & The New Level (Kofi & Austin Creed) (c) vs. Hangman Adam Page & Brodido (Bandido & Brody King)
Swerve Strickland, Kofi and Austin Creed haven’t been AEW Trios Champions for very long, and now the team they helped dethrone wants its gold back as they’ll put the titles on the line against Brodido and Hangman Page. Swerve and the New Level won the titles at All In London, but Brodido and Page are determined to reclaim the titles, so it remains to be seen who’ll win in the end.
AEW National Championship: Andrade El Idolo (c) vs. PAC
Andrade El Idolo and PAC are running it back five years later. Their last singles encounter came all the way back during the early days of Rampage in 2021, when Andrade picked up the win. Now they meet again with Andrade’s AEW National Championship at stake. Considering the in-ring skills of both competitors, it’s sure to be a great one.
TBS Championship Open Challenge: Persephone (c) vs. TBA
Persephone doesn’t know who she’s wrestling at All Out, and apparently that’s exactly how she wants it. The TBS Champion announced that she will issue an open challenge in Chicago, leaving her opponent as one of the few remaining mysteries on the card. So we’ll have to see who will challenge Persephone in the end.
AEW Women’s World Championship No. 1 Contender’s Match: Willow Nightingale vs. Thekla
Mercedes Moné isn’t cleared to defend the AEW Women’s World Championship at All Out, so AEW found another solution. Willow Nightingale and Thekla will face each other to determine who gets the next shot at Moné. Willow’s hand is still broken, so she’s going into All Out with a disadvanage and now fans are waiting to see who’ll get to challenge Mercedes next.
Other Matches
Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor will defend the AEW Women’s Tag Team Titles against Divine Dominion in a Chicago Street Fight. Kazuchika Okada will defend his AEW International Championship against Tommaso Ciampa.
Steven Borden teams with Darby Allin against Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight, with the winners becoming the next challengers for the AEW World Tag Team Championship. In the Tailgate Brawl preshow, Jack Perry faces Katsuyori Shibata. That’s not all as The Bang Bang Gang will square off against Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, David Finlay and Clark Connors in an eight-man Tornado Rules match in the Tailgate Brawl as well.
