AEW All Out is in history books now as Chicago witnessed another major show from the newly emerging promotion, All Elite Wrestling. While the show was not better than the Double or Nothing PPV in May, the credit should be given to the executives, stars, and everyone involved to give us a decent PPV.
All Out saw the crowning of the first-ever AEW World Champion in the form of Chris Jericho. We also got to know the two wrestlers who will face off to determine the inaugural AEW Women's Champion. Other than that, the show has some decent surprises throughout.
As is the case with everything in life, certain aspects of it could have been avoided and improved to make it better. In this article, let's take a look at the four mistakes that were made at AEW All Out. Feel free to share your thoughts, views, and opinions about the show in the comments section below.

#4 A very lengthy show
Firstly, the night was a packed one for wrestling fans as not one or two but three major shows were taking place all at once. It first started with NXT UK's TakeOver and NJPW's Royal Quest and then came AEW All Out. As much as you might love wrestling, there has to be some limit.
WWE has often been criticized heavily for keeping enormously long PPVs like WrestleMania 35. While, Vince is learning and improving on the same with a pretty compact SummerSlam, the same can't be said about All Elite Wrestling. You can't expect fans to sit through a very long show.
While almost all the wrestlers got a decent time to showcase their talent and narrate a story inside the ring, which is great to an extent, it was tiring. Let's hope Cody and company learn from this and shorten the length of their next show.
#3 Cody beating Shawn Spears
One of the marquee matches for AEW All Out was the Executive Vice President of the promotion, Cody Rhodes, taking on a former WWE Superstar, Shawn Spears. After having a heated build-up to their feud, the result of Cody coming out victorious was a little questionable.
Cody is already a star, who could have been used to put over Shawn Spears, leading to the birth of a new top guy. Even though the match was amazing, but losing to Cody has derailed his momentum and one has to wonder what's next for him?
We understand that the ultimate aim is for the face to overcome the heel, but a heel who just talks without winning matches cannot be taken seriously, in the long term.
#2 Expecting the main event to follow up that ladder match
The in-ring action at AEW All Out was exceptional, with most of the matches delivering. The best match of the night was easily the ladder match for the AAA Tag Team Championship between The Lucha Bros and Young Bucks. There were many insane spots throughout that bout that made fans in the arena and all around the world jump out of their seat in excitement.
This match was then followed by the main event between Jericho and Page for the AEW World title. While that was good as well, it was unfair to expect them to follow that ladder match and hence it felt a little dull.
It's not a great idea to have two marquee matches one after the other, and the sooner AEW learns that, the better it would be for them.
#1 No Jon Moxley
AEW's first show Double or Nothing is considered to be one of the best ones of this year, and a major reason for that was the big event feeling that it had. Unfortunately, All Out didn't felt as huge as that.
One thing we all can agree on is that AEW's roster lacks globally recognized stars. After Chris Jericho, and probably Cody, it is Jon Moxley aka Dean Ambrose who is known by casual fans around the globe. AEW needs such stars on their show to reach to a wider audience.
Moxley debuted and attacked Kenny Omega at Double or Nothing in May, and was scheduled to face him at All Out. Unfortunately, the match was called off at the last moment due to an elbow injury of Moxley. Another former WWE Superstar, PAC was announced as his replacement.
While the replacement match in itself was amazing, AEW should have booked Jon to appear at the show to further his storyline with Omega, especially since he lost his match at All Out to PAC. Even a post-match showdown with Omega, ending with Moxley laughing at his loss could have helped the show a lot.
