AEW's All Out pay-per-view is fast approaching and many are left wondering who will take on Kenny Omega for the AEW World Title at the event. The PPV will take place on September 5th, 2021 and will be broadcast from Now Arena, Illinois.

The main event for the first-ever All Out was Adam Page vs Chris Jericho. This was to crown the first-ever AEW World Champion, which as we all know, was won by Chris Jericho.

We then saw Jon Moxley take on MJF for the AEW World Title in the main event of the second-ever All Out. The former Dean Ambrose would retain the title this time around.

So, the big question now is, who will main event the third All Out and challenge Kenny Omega for the title? People thought they knew who it would be, but it looks like AEW have thrown a spanner in the works.


#5. CM Punk returns and jumps to the front of the line in AEW to face Kenny Omega

If you watched AEW this week you can't fail to have noticed the obvious references that many people were making to CM Punk. Darby Allin's 'Best in the world' comment for example.

It seems that AEW are very much leaning into the rumors that CM Punk has already signed for the company, which would be an extremely, extremely silly thing to do if the rumors weren't true.

They've also announced a new show, Rampage: The First Dance, taking place in Punk's home town of Chicago on August 20th. This show is taking place at the Unite Center which has almost double the capacity as the arena for All Out, which is also quite telling.

It's hard not to see CM Punk returning to wrestling to do anything other than challenge for the world title, which would mean he's a decent bet to be Kenny Omega's opponent at All Out.

#4. Daniel Bryan properly brings back the American Dragon for AEW's main event against Kenny Omega

Daniel Bryan could also jump the queue and face Kenny Omega just as easily as CM Punk could.

He achieved more success in WWE than he was ever really supposed to. Not because he isn't an incredible wrestling talent, but because if WWE is honest, they never would've set him aside as a world champion were it not for the crowd reactions he got.

It's incredible to think that he got that far without wrestling in the way that got him to WWE in the first place. Bryan was known as The American Dragon on the independent circuit and was quite frankly amazing to watch during that time. Should he return to AEW by bringing back the Bryan of old, it'll be impossible for him not to be in the main event.


#3. Christian is potentially rightfully next in line for Kenny Omega

Christian Cage is third in the rankings in AEW Men's Singles division behind Jungle Boy and Adam Page, but there's an argument to be made that he really should be next in like for a title match against Kenny Omega.

Kenny Omega already faced Jungle Boy in singles action a few weeks ago in a great main event. Adam Page was also pinned by Omega in the middle of the ring on this week's Dynamite. So naturally Christian's next!

#2. Jay White wants the IMPACT and AEW Title from Kenny Omega

New Japan Pro Wrestling star Jay White confronted AEW's Kenny Omega at the end of IMPACT Wrestling's Slammiversary and many have assumed it's because White is going to go after the IMPACT title.

But there's every chance that White could choose to challenge Omega for the AEW Title, or maybe even both the IMPACT and AEW World Titles. It would be unexpected but the storyline has already started and there certainly is enough history between the two of them for it to be a worthy All Out main event.


#1. AEW continues with Adam Page as the one to dethrone Kenny Omega

The story that AEW have been telling for some time now is the redemption of Adam Page on his quest to finally become AEW World Champion. However, recent events have led people to believe it might not be happening at All Out.

That's because The Cleaner Kenny Omega pinned Page clean in the middle of the ring during an elimination tag team match to open AEW Dynamite this week. To many people, this happened because Page wasn't getting the match people wanted and would instead be replaced by Punk or Bryan in All Out's main event.

But what if AEW are just swerving us and Page does earn a one-on-one title shot against Omega at All Out and what if he does become AEW World Champion.
