#4 AEW All Out
AEW All Out was certainly a strange night in September 2020. It is arguably the worst All Elite Wrestling pay-per-view since the company’s beginning. Especially for the first half of the show, it seemed like AEW All Out 2020 was a little cursed.
The short Big Swole vs. Britt Baker “Tooth and Nail Match” was one of the weakest cinematic matches of the year and not a fitting end to their long-term feud. The Young Bucks had a solid match with Jurassic Express, but it has absolutely no build going into All Out.
The Casino Battle Royal will be most famous for the incredibly scary looking botch by Matt Sydal. After this rough start, things only got a lot worse.
Matt Hardy vs. Sammy Guevara had a “Broken Rules” match. It was just getting started when the two decided to fall off a scissor lift with only a small table to break their fall.
The problem is Matt Hardy missed most of the table, and his head smacked hard on concrete. It was a strange few minutes as the match seemed to be stopped to see if Matt Hardy could continue the match.
He and Sammy climbed a high scaffolding, and Sammy quickly fell off to end the match. It was strange and led to a debate if Matt Hardy was healthy enough to actually continue.
The show did improve some after that point. Hikaru Shida and Thunder Rosa had one of the better AEW Women’s Championship matches of the year. We had a fun eight-man tag match between allies of Cody Rhodes and the Dark Order. The AEW World Tag Team Championship match was really long but still told a solid story as FTR won the titles.
The ending of the show was interesting, to say the least. Orange Cassidy defeated Chris Jericho in a Mimosa Mayhem Match. It was a silly end to their long feud, and seemed like the point was to drop Jericho into “Mimosa.”
It was not exactly a serious feud to put Orange Cassidy over. The main event for this very long show was MJF against Jon Moxley. It was a bloody affair but not among the best of Moxley’s many title changes this year.
With so many strange matches, Matt Hardy’s scare, and length, AEW All Out was the weakest actual pay-per-view of the year.
