AEW All Out turned out to be one of the most star-studded shows the company has delivered since its inception. Tony Khan sent fans home happy tonight by providing a collective display of entertainment and shocking swerves.
The pay-per-view kickstarted with a massive TNT Championship match between Miro and Eddie Kingston. The show ended with Kenny Omega and Christian Cage slugging it out for the prestigious AEW World Championship. The sold-out crowd in Chicago was electric throughout the night, giving an exhilarating experience to even television viewers.
We'll now provide you with the best and worst from the show. If you disagree with any of the points mentioned below, don't hesitate to share your opinion with us.
#5 Best: Adam Cole, Bryan Danielson, and Ruby Soho arrive in AEW
The jaw-dropping arrival of three former WWE Superstars in Ruby Soho, Adam Cole, and Bryan Danielson, was the highlight of this year's AEW All Out.
The trend started during the Women's Casino Battle Royale, which saw Soho emerging as the final entrant to win the entire match.
She provided some buzzworthy confrontations with stars like Jade Cargill, Nyla Rose, and Thunder Rosa, whom she eliminated to become the next challenger for Dr. Britt Baker's AEW Women's title.
Then fast forward to the main event, Kenny Omega defeated Christian Cage in one of the most gruesome championship matches in recent history. Although the bout was exciting to watch, it was the aftermath that grabbed the attention of the wrestling fans.
Omega and The Elite started a post-match beatdown on Cage, prompting Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus to come out. However, the numbers game proved too much for the babyfaces.
However, the party was cut short when Adam Cole surfaced on the entrance ramp. The former NXT Champion entered the squared circle while giving a death-staredown to his old pals.
Fans thought Cole would trade blows with The Elite, but instead, he super kicked Jungle Boy, thus turning heel in the process.
Just when everybody assumed that the show would go off the air, Bryan Danielson showed up. Fans erupted in the arena with iconic 'yes' chants. It was a sight to behold. The American Dragon joined forces with the babyfaces and took out The Elite and Adam Cole.
The whole angle gave goosebumps to everyone watching. The addition of Cole, Soho and Danielson will add a lot of star power to the thriving AEW roster now.
#4 Worst: Jim Ross made multiple botches during AEW All Out
AEW commentator Jim Ross has again found himself under the radar of criticism after making multiple blunders during the show tonight.
JR first accidentally dubbed AEW's newest signee Ruby Solo as Ruby Riott, which used to be her WWE name. He then botched Paul Wight as The Big Show. People on the internet quickly caught his mistake and started spreading the word.
Ross doesn't seem to be getting used to these superstars' new names. In fact, he could be seen taking time while calling Paul Wight during the match.
Although he is considered a legendary broadcaster, a minor error like this only affects his credibility to do his job. Recent reports have suggested that JR could be thinking of stepping down from his duties permanently. It remains to be seen whether tonight's botch will finally force him to call it quits or not.
#3 Best: Lucha Brothers dethroning The Young Bucks to become the new AEW Tag Team Champions
The AEW Tag Team Championship match between The Young Bucks and Lucha Brothers was a massive slugfest.
Both teams laid their impressive arsenal on display to such an extent that blood was pouring down from their heads. In the end, Lucha Brothers defeated the Jackson Brothers, thus ending their reign after over 300 days.
The match had a few exciting moments, like Brandon Cutler throwing a thumbtack sole shoe to The Young Bucks and how viciously the latter duo delivered low blows to take out Penta and Fenix. Moreover, the bout took place inside a steel cage, which made sure that both teams had a fair fight.
#2 Worst: The underwhelming match between Chris Jericho and MJF
Tonight at AEW All Out, Chris Jericho defeated MJF in the final battle of their long-running rivalry this year. Although Le Champion saved his professional career tonight, the entire match didn't pan out the way everyone anticipated.
Both men delivered a slow-paced clash that featured an absurd finish. MJF initially pinned Chris Jericho after hitting him with the Judas Effect, though referee Aubrey Edwards couldn't see Jericho's foot at the top. The aftermath saw an outside official make Justin Roberts restart the match.
The entire angle felt similar to what WWE used to have followed from back in the day. Nevertheless, the match ended with Chris Jericho locking MJF in the Walls of Jericho's submission move, thus prompting him to tap out.
It was obvious that Jericho wouldn't be losing the match tonight. However, the company could have planned a better finish out there by involving multiple outside interferences. In fact, AEW star Wardlow tried to interject but was soon taken out by Jake Hager. The feud between Chris Jericho and Mr. Friedman has concluded.
#1 Best/Worst: The entire placement of match card on AEW All Out
Despite AEW All Out being deemed a successful pay-per-view, some of the matches on the card felt disorganized.
The match between Lucha Brothers and The Young Bucks should have been the co-main event of the show. The stakes were at their highest high for that match, and placing their bout near the end of the show might have raised the bar for the tag team division.
The same could be said for the match between CM Punk and Darby Allin, which also delivered on the hype. Given that it was The Straight Edge Superstars' first match, the company could have placed it as the co-main event instead of the Paul Wight-QT Marshall match.
Regardless, fans will be pretty happy as AEW All Out was indeed an eventful show, possibly surpassing every other event that was produced by other wrestling promotions, including WWE.
