The recently concluded AEW Pay-Per-View saw Chris Jericho being crowned as the first-ever AEW World Champion.
Not only that, but we also witnessed an adrenaline-fuelled bout between The Young Bucks and The Lucha Brothers, which many fans claim to be the match of the night.
You could say that an event like All Out had something for every category of Professional Wrestling fan out there. But the Pay-Per-View was unnecessarily lengthy, which took away some momentum from the matches that occurred during the middle of the card.
Regardless, the latter half of the event was quite amazing.
Here are a few interesting observations from AEW All Out:
#3 Why Cody's matches have elevated AEW's Pay-Per-Views so far
As witnessed earlier during this year's AEW Double or Nothing Pay-Per-View, Cody vs. Dustin Rhodes proved to be a match of the year candidate.
Shawn Spears vs. Cody had a few elements that were very similar to the aforementioned match.
Cody's bouts in events like these stand out from the rest of the card. Even if you won't see the flashiest of moves in a Cody match, fans are likely to witness an old-school bout with a lot of shenanigans.
These shenanigans are usually attributed to some Professional Wrestling history, as seen in both matches previously mentioned above.
AEW Pay-Per-Views have something for every type of wrestling fan, and Cody's matches deliver an old-school feeling that reminds us of classic bouts where anything could happen at any given time.
Even the entrances are given extensive attention in this case, as compared to the rest of the matches on the same card.
So it goes without saying that the event would have felt incomplete without that bout taking place last night.
Not only did it entertain, but it also kicked off the superior half of the card during last night's Pay-Per-View.

#2 The Young Bucks vs. The Lucha Brothers proved that AEW's Tag Team Division might be one of the company's biggest strengths
In WWE, the Tag Team Division has suffered from a series of casual booking decisions in recent memory.
Despite no one explicitly stating this on-screen, you can easily make out that WWE does not think of the Tag Team Division as their shows' primary asset.
But AEW has a Tag Division that surpasses not only WWE but various other notable promotions as well.
In an event filled with show-stealing superstars like Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho, The Young Bucks and The Lucha Brothers' put forth arguably the best match of the night.
But just stealing the show is not enough to elevate the division as a whole, because The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) are one of the main reasons behind why the company's Tag Teams are one of its biggest strengths.
We know that AEW strives to put more focus on matches over entertainment, and it looks like the company has embraced the idea of Tag Team Wrestling being an entertaining medium for in-ring matches.
#1 Why Chris Jericho as AEW World Champion was the right booking decision to make
Any popular TV Show has a primary conflict from its very first episode or the pilot.
This applies to Professional Wrestling as well.
Because when AEW shifts over to a weekly Television format, you need to have a primary conflict in place, so that viewers can tune in week after week to find out if there is any resolution in the end.
Hangman Page as a babyface World Champion makes the heel a title chaser, and we all know that Professional Wrestling works best with a babyface chasing for the title that is held by a heel champion.
The latter case is exactly what we might get when AEW's weekly TV Format starts from October.
Moreover, why would you not have your most commercial star (aside from Jon Moxley/Dean Ambrose) as the world champion from the very beginning?
It would only encourage casual fans to tune in when they hear that a familiar wrestler is currently at the top of the company.
Forget about CM Punk, all you need to do is watch the AEW All Out Post-Show event to see how entertaining Jericho's reign already is!
