The build to the fourth annual AEW All Out PPV event has been quite the doozy. A concoction of great stories, silly angles, weak builds, stellar match potential, tardy decisions, and effective promos, all rolled into one weird show. One weird show that will likely be entertaining and memorable.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2020\/07\/HeadshotHeydorn2020_180.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-102397 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2020\/07\/HeadshotHeydorn2020_180.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"180\" height=\"210\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the story here, I guess. What matters more? \u00a0The build to a PPV? Or, like, does that not matter if the PPV gets to the right place and is interesting. I\u2019m sure some completely logical and polite discourse on social media will take place after this, but it does matter. Good builds drive PPV buys and revenue. I mean, that matters, right? It\u2019s good AEW got to where they did for All Out, but it likely came at a price.<\/p>\n<p>In the All Out media scrum, Tony Khan declared it was injuries that caused the delayed build and that makes sense. What it doesn\u2019t do is change the fact that builds matter and framing certain matches in certain ways matters to draw money. Both facts can be facts at the same time and in this instance that\u2019s exactly the case.<\/p>\n<p>Call this a preview, a calm look into the distant future, or a gaze into a wondrous crystal ball; just don\u2019t hold me to anything, ok?<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u>Jungle Boy Jack Perry vs. Christian Cage<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The week to week build for this match had its high highs and lows, but in the end, the story very much came into focus. Jungle Boy declaring himself Jack Perry in the final showdown between both men backstage at Dynamite. The week to week was the road to Jungle Boy finding himself as Jack Perry. Now he\u2019s there and he\u2019ll continue that journey by beating Cage clean in the middle of the ring.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u>Jade Cargill vs. Athena \u2013 AEW TBS Championship<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jade Cargill has carved out a really nice spot for herself in the company. She\u2019s overwhelmingly the most over act in the women\u2019s division and it shows when she\u2019s opposite most acts \u2013 including Athena. Athena hasn\u2019t assumed nearly enough momentum to end Cargill\u2019s undefeated streak. Cargill wins here and keeps the streak alive.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3352265822\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong><em><u>Swerve In Our Glory vs. The Acclaimed \u2013 AEW World Tag Team Championship<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not a smart match to book. The Acclaimed and SIOG are on the rise together and this match is going to slow momentum for someone. Add into the fact that this match is masquerading around as representing the two top tag teams in AEW and you\u2019re left without another option, but to furrow the brow. At this point, The Acclaimed should take the win and they will. Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland are likely heading toward feuding anyway, so why not put the other tag team over? It\u2019s a tough call, but that\u2019s the way Khan will go.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u>Ricky Starks vs. Powerhouse Hobbs<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The best built match on the card. Starks and Hobbs have stayed in their lanes as far as character development goes and there is a clear guy to root for. Starks and Hobbs have both cut promos to help heat this up. It\u2019s been a simple, traditional build, but effective too. Look for Hobbs to take this one. Starks fighting from underneath plays and Hobbs would lose a lot doing the job when being dominant is a staple of his act right now.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u>Toni Storm vs. Britt Baker vs. Jaime Hayter vs. Hikaru Shida \u2013 AEW Interim Women\u2019s Championship<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not the original plan, but a logical direction to go after Thunder Rosa bowed out of her title. Build has been limited, but the story remains Toni Storm. It\u2019s her time and she\u2019ll claim the championship and eventually showdown with Rosa down the road as was originally planned for this show.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u>The Elite vs. Dark Order \u2013 AEW World Trios Championship Tournament Final<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Get ready for drama between The Elite and Adam Page. Lots of it. This match will have a lot of action, but the story will revolve around The Elite members rather than two team vying for a big Trios World Championship prize. It seems as if Tony Khan waited to introduce these belts until Kenny Omega got healthy. He is, so it\u2019s hard to see them around anyone\u2019s waist besides him and The Young Bucks.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-3714708800\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong><em><u>Casino Ladder Match<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not a lot of build for this one and I\u2019ll tell you why. Whoever The Joker entry is wins this thing and goes on to challenge for the world title. Samoa Joe. That\u2019s my pick to click.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u>Bryan Danielson vs. Chris Jericho<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This one isn\u2019t a novel match, but it works well enough on this show. It\u2019s the pro wrestler vs. the sports entertainer to determine who the best in the world is. Well, kinda. The key to this one is Daniel Garcia. We\u2019ll see the full babyface turn tonight and Garcia will prevent Jericho from winning underhandedly and thus Danielson will get the win.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u>Darby Allin &amp; Sting &amp; Miro vs. The House Of Black <\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Miro vs. Aleister Black felt like the match here, but Darby and Sting needed to get on the show. Not great. Will this be a good match? Sure. Here\u2019s the thing. The House of Black needs a win or their slide into total irrelevancy will continue. They\u2019ll get it.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u>FTR &amp; Wardlow vs. Jay Lethal &amp; The Motor City Machine Guns<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I cannot endorse this match. Sorry. For as good as it might be, here\u2019s the problem. FTR is not in a traditional tag match. The most over tag team of the year and they aren\u2019t defending or chasing tag titles? In a tag team focused company? Make that make sense to me. To make matters worse, The Motor City Machine Guns are on the freaking card! That\u2019s a layup of a booking choice that <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AEW\">AEW<\/a> missed. FTR and Wardlow are winning here, but I watch in full on protest.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u>CM Punk vs. Jon Moxley \u2013 AEW World Championship<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, they got there. They could have just gotten there, but decided to navigate all over the place until they did. Moxley and Punk both cut wonderful promos building the match up and Punk will have the Chicago PPV crowd on his side. This will be dramatic and a blast to watch as Punk will win in his hometown to a raucous reaction. No heel turn, no MJF. Boom.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/09\/02\/video-full-tony-khan-all-out-media-call\/\">VIDEO: Full Tony Khan All Out media call<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-968790778\"><div id=\"pwtor-164320944\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Wooooo boy, right?
