AEW just added another fight to next Saturday’s pre-All Out chaos. During the AEW Collision episode on September 19, 2026, the company confirmed that “Jungle” Jack Perry will face Katsuyori Shibata at AEW All Out Tailgate Brawl on September 26.
The match joins the already-confirmed 10-man Tailgate Brawl featuring Bang Bang Gang against The Death Riders and The Dogs. That one came together after Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin and Jay White threw down the challenge earlier in the night, with AEW making it official before Collision wrapped up.
Now Perry and Shibata are being thrown into the mix as well, giving the Tailgate Brawl special another singles match before the All Out pay-per-view gets underway. AEW All Out Tailgate Brawl will air September 26 beginning at 7:00 PM ET on TNT and HBO Max in the United States.
The AEW All Out Tailgate Brawl lineup currently includes:
- “Jungle” Jack Perry vs. Katsuyori Shibata
- 10-Man Tailgate Brawl: Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Ace Austin & Jay White) vs. The Death Riders & The Dogs
That special will roll directly into AEW All Out from the NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, where the company already has a loaded card waiting.
The AEW All Out 2026 lineup so far includes:
- AEW World Championship: Will Ospreay (c) vs. Jon Moxley
- AEW World Tag Team Championship Three-Way TLC Match: Adam Copeland & Christian Cage (c) vs. FTR vs. The Young Bucks
- AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship Chicago Street Fight: The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter & Alex Windsor) (c) vs. Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne & Lena Kross)
- AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: Willow Nightingale vs. Thekla — winner earns a shot at Mercedes Moné at WrestleDream
- AEW World Trios Championship: Hangman Adam Page, Bandido & Brody King vs. the winner of Swerve Strickland & The New Level vs. The Demand
- AEW World Tag Team Championship No. 1 Contender Match: Darby Allin & Steven Borden vs. Kyle Fletcher & Kevin Knight
AEW is clearly not treating Tailgate Brawl like some throwaway warm-up show. A 10-man faction war was already enough to get things messy, and now Perry and Shibata have been added to make sure somebody is getting kicked in the face before All Out even starts.
