AEW: An All Out review
AEW All Out was a thrilling and intense pay-per-view that captivated fans from start to finish. The event was marked by its relentless violence and gripping storylines, demonstrating AEW's commitment to offering an alternative to WWE with its own unique brand of high-octane entertainment. Each match delivered a high level of brutality and drama, leaving fans on the edge of their seats throughout the night.
One of the standout moments came during the shocking encounter between Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson. Moxley, in a display of sheer ruthlessness, attempted to suffocate Danielson with a paper bag, while the crowd chanted "This is murder," adding a chilling atmosphere to the already intense confrontation. The event's violent tone was further emphasized by Willow Nightingale's daring performance in a street fight against Kris Statlander, where she broke light tubes over Statlander's head, illustrating the extreme lengths AEW's talent are willing to go to for their craft.
The unsanctioned steel cage match between Hangman Adam Page and Swerve Strickland was a brutal highlight of the evening. The build-up to the match was intensely personal, with Hangman burning down Swerve's childhood home to get inside his opponent's head. The violence reached a fever pitch during the match itself, featuring Hangman inserting a needle into Swerve's mouth and delivering one of the most brutal chair shots to the head I've ever witnessed.
Bottom Line
I struggled with buying All Out just two weeks after purchasing All In, but it did not disappoint, and I do not regret the decision. This event was incredible from start to finish. If AEW can consistently deliver pay-per-views of this caliber, they will solidify themselves as a must-see wrestling product, and that is definitely good for business.
