AEW All Out was a decent show, from the start to the end. Being the second major show of the company after Double or Nothing in May, the expectations of the fans were sky-high. While it was not the best show you'll ever see, it was worth watching.
After the massively successful All In last year that pretty much led to the birth of All Elite Wrestling, Cody Rhodes and company decided to do a sequel of the same and that led to us getting - AEW All Out.
With the talent that they possess, one can never doubt the in-ring quality of the matches. Almost every match delivered, with the best one being the Ladder match for the AAA Tag Team Championship between The Lucha Bros and Young Bucks.
With All Out in the history books now, fans across the globe are waiting for them to debut their weekly show on TNT. But before that, let's take a look at the five important takeaways from AEW's second major show - All Out. Did you enjoy watching the show?
#5 All Out might become a yearly event at Chicago
So far, AEW has had four events/PPVs - Double or Nothing, Fyter Fest, Fight for the Fallen, and All Out. As good as these were, they still felt like glorified independent shows.
Every other wrestling promotion has some yearly mega shows that fans wait to see. New Japan has the Wrestle Kingdom, Impact Wrestling has Slammiversary, Ring of Honor has G1 Supercard, and let's not even start with WWE PPVs.
The President of AEW, Tony Khan, came out to the ring alongside Cody after the show was over to thank the fans. Interestingly, he mentioned that he is planning to turn All Out into a yearly event at Chicago. The fans, of course, loved it.
Every promotion needs a marquee show and looks like All Out will be the one for All Elite Wrestling.
#4 Riho is the ultimate underdog of the women's division
Throughout the history of pro wrestling, we've seen many underdog storylines in which a wrestler, who is not considered to be the favorite to win, goes on to do the unthinkable and emerges victorious.
At All Out, we saw two women earn the opportunity to compete in a match to crown the first-ever AEW Women's champion. It was Nyla Rose who won the Casino Battle Royale, and then it was Riho who defeated Hikaru Shida for a shot at the title.
While Nyla dominated her match, eliminating as many as 10 other wrestlers, Riho was dominated by her opponent but still managed to find out a way to win. The same has been her booking in previous shows as well, indicating her to be the ultimate underdog of the division. Do you think she can do it once more and win the title?
#3 PAC will soon take on Hangman Page
The most shocking outcome of a match at All Out was the one between PAC and Kenny Omega, which ended with Kenny passing out to the Brutalizer, handing the former WWE Cruiserweight champion the victory. Suddenly, the stock of PAC has skyrocketed.
AEW was quick to tease us the next match for him on their Twitter page which saw him confronting Hangman Page backstage. PAC was scheduled to face Page at Double Or Nothing, but the match got canceled. If the tease is anything to go by, this rivalry has been ignited again.
Who's excited to watch PAC vs Page?
#2 Who will challenge Jericho for his title?
All Out saw the crowning of the first-ever AEW World Champion, as Chris Jericho defeated Hangman Page in the main event of the night to lift the title. The company went for a more experienced and well-known star in Jericho over a young Page to help them establish globally.
Whether or not that was the correct decision is up to your point of view. But what is done is done, and the big question now is - who will challenge Jericho for his title first? Interestingly, there were few hints given on the show as to who can and who cannot be the first challenger.
Firstly, there's no way Kenny Omega will be the guy as he lost to PAC on the show and also has unfinished business with Jon Moxley, whom he was originally supposed to face. In all likeliness, Moxley will win that feud between the two and might be a good option to challenge for the world title after that.
Cody Rhodes is another option as he has decent victories over the likes of Dustin Rhodes and Shawn Spears. But including him in the title picture straight away would be a risk as fans might not like an executive getting the main event push so soon.
#1 CM Punk has no plans to join AEW
It has been well over five years since we last saw CM Punk in WWE at the Royal Rumble in 2014. Still, to this date, fans keep chanting his names at random wrestling shows, waiting for the Straight Edge Superstar to make a return.
Ever since the announcement of AEW, the talks of Punk making a pro-wrestling return with the company have taken over the internet. The same got fueled when the company decided to have All Out in Chicago, Punk's hometown. Combine this with some similarities in All Out's logo with that of Punk, and the speculations of this being the returning show for Punk started doing rounds.
While Punk himself stated in his interview at Starrcast that he will be with his wife AJ Lee and won't be at All Out, fans were still expecting this to be a swerve. Well, it was not one as Punk was not there.
It is safe to assume that Punk has no plans of joining AEW because this was the ideal time for him to do so if he wanted. The return of CM Punk will surely break the hell loose, but the chances of that happening are diminishing fastly.
