UPDATE: 2024/09/06 13:26 EST BY JOSH COULSON
Three more matches have been added to the All Out card ready for this Sunday, all of them for championships as the TBS, Tag Team, and Continental Titles will be on the line. The card isn’t complete quite yet though as the three challengers for the Continental Championship won’t be confirmed until this Saturday’s edition of Collision.
In 2023, AEW followed up on its first-ever stadium show, All In with All Out just seven days later. Ill-advised, and the promotion has switched things up this year. It still hasn’t given itself much room to breathe though, particularly when the standard for AEW up until very recently was to have four PPVs per year which allows for lots of time to build. The gap between All In and All Out is two weeks this year, and while twice as long a gap as last year, that means the next big show is already right around the corner. Here’s everything you need to know about it.
When Is AEW All Out 2024?
As I’ve already touched on (a lot), there’s not a very big gap between All In and All Out which means the latter is almost here already. The two-week gap between the two PPVs means All Out takes place on September 7, 2024, this year. A wise decision not only because it provides more time to build to the show’s matches, but it also avoids Bash In Berlin which takes place on August 31. All Out’s main card will begin at 8 pm EST but there will likely be a pre-show with its own matches.
How Can I Watch All Out 2024?
AEW’s negotiations with Warner Bros. Discovery are ongoing which means, for the time being, AEW’s PPVs aren’t on Max. There have already been suggestions that might change once a deal is struck, but for now, you’re going to have to keep buying your AEW PPVs the old-fashioned way. That includes All Out which you can order through B/R Live and Triller TV in the US. All Out can be ordered and watched live, or via replays after it’s finished, through Triller TV outside the US.
Where Is AEW All Out Taking Place?
All Out has been a staple of the AEW calendar since 2019, before the first episode of Dynamite had aired. Other than in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic forced its hand, AEW has held All Out in Chicago, and 2024’s event will be no different. All Out returns to the Now Arena for 2024, the same arena in which the PPV took place in back-to-back years in 2021 and 2022 before heading to the United Center last year to mix things up.
Bryan Danielson vs. Jack Perry For The AEW Championship
Bryan Danielson’s career was on the line at All In, and despite confirming he wants to retire, The American Dragon won and is now AEW Champion. However, Danielson has reconfirmed he intends to retire and that whenever he loses the title, he’s done. That means every one of his title matches is a title vs. career match from now on, and Jack Perry is the first to get a shot at sending Danielson into the sunset.
Perry had a big night at All In, even if his sinister post-match celebrations were interrupted by a returning Sting. Someone is going to have the honor of retiring Danielson soon, and while I have no idea who that someone will be, it isn’t going to be Perry at All Out.
Will Ospreay vs. Pac For The AEW International Championship
Will Ospreay got his big moment in front of a hometown crowd at Wembley, beating MJF for the International Championship. A title is a target on a wrestler’s back though, and now a fellow Brit has his sights set on that target. Just when it looked like Ospreay was going to challenge Ricochet to the rematch the internet has been waiting eight years for too.
It’s a shame that AEW didn’t get to this match sooner as having two top British stars compete for a title in Wembley Stadium would have made for a very cool moment. Keeping them separate meant they could both win gold at All In, though. As for who will make it two wins in two shows in two weeks at All Out, it has to be Ospreay.
Swerve Strickland vs. Hangman Page In A Steel Cage Match
Swerve Strickland is understandably pretty upset right now as he failed to retire Bryan Danielson at All In and lost the World Title in the process. The former champ has turned to an old rival for someone to take out his frustrations on at All Out, rolling up to the ring on Dynamite with Prince Nana to intimidate Hangman Page.
Page astutely pointed out that throughout their rivalry, Strickland always needed help to get things done, gesturing to Nana as proof that hasn’t changed. The solution to that in wrestling is for the rivalry to come to an end inside of a steel cage. Strickland will be all alone with Page inside a cage at All Out, and I think it’s imperative the recently dethroned champion wins.
Mercedes Mone vs. Hikaru Shida For The AEW TBS Championship
Hikaru Shida is an AEW original and has been the promotion’s Women’s Champion on three different occasions. She has never won the TBS Title though, and after failing to dethrone Mercedes Mone last month, the Japanese star has earned herself another chance to beat The CEO.
Kamille, someone Mone clearly plans to lean on moving forward, has been banned from ringside. While some might think that leaves the door open for AEW to switch the title in this one, my guess is it means Mone will pick up the win, likely still through nefarious means, and then brag about not needing Kamille to win matches right after.
Willow Nightingale vs. Kris Statlander In A Chicago Street Fight For The CMLL Women’s Championship
Willow Nightingale and Kris Statlander clashed in a tag match at All In to determine who would choose the stipulation for their title match at All Out. Nightingale won and on the Dynamite after the PPV revealed to Statlander that they will be going to war in a Chicago Street Fight on September 7.
Since Nightingale is champion, and she’s the one who chose a Chicago Street Fight, Statlander is almost guaranteed to win this match. This is pro wrestling, it’s just how it goes. Since there will be no rules, and hence no stopping someone from interfering, I’m assuming Stokely Hathaway will play a role in Nightingale losing the title.
The Young Bucks vs. Blackpool Combat Club For The AEW Tag Team Championships
Claudio Castagnoli is becoming 2024’s version of The Belt Collector, and he now has his eyes on the AEW Tag Team Titles. The Swiss Cyborg already has two championships to his name and at All Out th, he’ll look to make it three titles alongside his Blackpool Combat Club compatriot, Wheeler Yuta.
It’s The Bucks’ fault too as they couldn’t help themselves from taking out Danielson ahead of his World Title defense this Sunday. As much as I like the idea of Castagnoli slowly winning more titles than he can carry, I’m going with The Bucks to retain in this one.
MJF vs. Daniel Garcia
There’s been a lot of talk about out-of-contract wrestlers leaving AEW, and until All In, Daniel Garcia was one of them. Garcia hasn’t signed a new deal, but it seems likely he will. Especially after him costing MJF the International Title at All In has led to him having a match against the man he’s vowed to destroy at All Out.
The obvious choice to win this one is MJF who needs a victory after getting beaten at All In, especially with Garcia yet to commit his future to the company. I like the idea of Garcia winning this one though, not only to try and convince him to sign a new deal, but to set MJF on a track where he can’t win on any of AEW’s big stages and has an identity crisis.
Kazuchika Okada In A Four-Way Match For The AEW Continental Championship
Kazuchika Okada has been brushing top Continental Title challengers aside with relative ease since he became champion. He’s just that good, and has a lot of people watching his back. Confident that he can beat just about anybody in AEW, at All Out, The Rainmaker will have three people vying for his title.
Exactly who those challengers will be won’t be revealed until Collision 24 hours prior to All Out taking place. My picks to win the three qualifying matches are Orange Cassidy, Mark Briscoe, and Konosuke Takeshita, but despite all that talent, I’m assuming Okada will remain champion.
