5 biggest reasons AEW All Out sold out in 15 minutes

Roughly 10 months after Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks produced an independent wrestling PPV named 'All In', it's sequel has sold out in 15 minutes! A lot has changed over the course of the past year. Cody Rhodes managed to get the backing of a billionaire named Tony Khan, who happens to be a longtime professional wrestling fan.

With Khan's aid, Cody and The Young Bucks secured some of the biggest names in wrestling to lucrative contracts and announced the arrival of a brand new promotion named All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Its first show, Double Or Nothing, became an instant hit, primarily due to Jon Moxley making his thunderous debut at the end of the PPV.

Now, AEW is all set for 'All Out', a show that will crown the first AEW World Champion. Additionally, it will feature Jon Moxley taking on Kenny Omega, who was attacked by the former in the closing moments of Double Or Nothing. Let's look at the five biggest reasons why AEW All Out sold out in 15 minutes.

#5 Showcasing younger talent and Cody's comments on diversity

Although the main event of AEW's first show featured two seasoned veterans, it doesn't mean that AEW isn't focusing on new talent. Almost the entire show was chock full of a variety of talent displaying their in-ring skills inside the MGM Grand. Additionally, the main event of All Out will be a World Title match between Jericho and a young gun named Hangman Page, who won a battle royal to secure the opportunity.

After the show was done with, Cody talked with WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry on how he is trying to bring in diversity to the AEW roster (which definitely seemed to be the case during Double Or Nothing), and isn't just doing it for the sake of PR. The comments were praised by famous politician Alexandria Cortez. Attempts like these don't go unnoticed by the fans, and it played a pivotal role in fans flocking in to secure their tickets.

#4 Chris Jericho's presence and his never-ending attempts to keep the buzz alive

Jericho

It goes without saying that Jericho being a part of AEW is one of the major reasons for the promotion drawing in fans in hordes. But having been a part of professional wrestling for a long while now, Jericho understands that no matter how big of a star you are, you need to constantly generate buzz among the audience.

During the promotion of Double Or Nothing, Jericho used to post videos on social media, bragging about how he is responsible for all of this. He went on to invade an indie show, where Kenny Omega took him out in front of a roaring crowd. It has been a while since then, but Jericho is still going strong with his attempts to create buzz.

Immediately after the tickets were sold, he claimed how he made it possible, and proceeded to bash AEW Superstar MJF for claiming to be the reason for the ticket sales. When a Superstar of the stature of Chris Jericho does his best to actively promote your product on social media, you're bound to sell out those tickets fast!

#3 AEW's shots at WWE

Thronebreaker

There is a big bunch of fans who aren't fans of this tactic, but it is here to stay. What those fans need to understand here is the fact that whenever AEW mentions WWE, it ends up generating some buzz that turns heads around. Cody's throne-breaker entrance at Double Or Nothing was dubbed as being cringe-worthy by many fans, but it ended up becoming one of the most memorable moments from the show.

Things escalated to such an extent that WWE actually let Sami Zayn mention AEW on Monday Night Raw. That single mention must've made lots of unaware folks go and check out AEW on the web, and that's exactly what AEW's goal is. As we move ahead, AEW and WWE are bound to take subtle jibes at each other, and that would be nothing but beneficial for AEW's future shows.

#2 Moxley's shocking debut

Moxley's debut

This was bound to be here. There's no getting around it! Although AEW's first show Double Or Nothing did incredibly well on its own by the time it almost came to an end, the climax was what sealed the deal for the promotion! The bloody brawl between the Rhodes brothers, the fast-paced mid-card matches, and the main event turned it into a great debut show, but Jon Moxley's debut was what took the wrestling world by storm.

It was the exact dose of excitement AEW needed at the time. The debut led to an interview on Talk is Jericho, which became the most listened edition of the podcast. Moxley went on to win the IWGP United States Title, which only helped in creating intrigue among the fans. The way the arena erupted in shock when Moxley made his debut made it clear that this would result in more fans flocking in for future shows.

#1 The intriguing match card

Moxley vs Omega

AEW All Out is still more than two months away, and All Elite Wrestling recently announced two huge matches for the PPV.

Chris Jericho will take on Hangman Page for the AEW World Title in the main event of the show, which seems like the perfect fit for AEW's first World Title match. This is a clash of two different generations and wrestling styles. On the other hand, Kenny Omega will finally get his hands on Jon Moxley for attacking him at the end of Double or Nothing.

Both storylines have been executed in a smooth manner. On one hand, there's the Battle Royale winner Page taking on the obnoxious heel Jericho, while on the other hand, there's Kenny Omega attempting to exact revenge on Moxley. With these two big storylines about to witness their end at All Out, it's no surprise fans want to be there to see it all unfold on August 31st.
