All Elite Wrestling presents the seventh annual All Out, coming to you from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, at the Scotiabank Arena today on Saturday, September 20, 2025 at 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT, live on HBO Max and pay-per-view.
The history of All Out is foundational to AEW, as the first event took place just a month before the debut of AEW Dynamite, where the first AEW World Champion was crowned when Chris Jericho beat “Hangman” Adam Page – a fact that has been brought up multiple times by TNT Champion “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher in the lead up to his shot at Page and the AEW World Championship this Saturday.
In addition to a loaded, 10-match All Out card, featuring five title matches, there will also be three matches as part of AEW Tailgate Brawl, which takes place an hour before All Out on Saturday afternoon on TNT and streaming on HBO Max.
Check out the full AEW All Out preview with an in-depth look at how each match came to be leading into this massive show.
AEW All Out Matches, Full Card, Preview
AEW World Championship Match: “Hangman” Adam Page vs. TNT Champion “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher
No one doubts the immense talent and potential of the TNT Champion, “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher, not even his opponent for All Out, AEW World Champion “Hangman” Adam Page.
So why would Fletcher need The Don Callis Family to help him defeat Page?
By pushing that precise narrative over the last two weeks, Page has gotten Fletcher to agree to leave the Family in the back for their match at All Out. He even got Fletcher to sign the contract with the stipulation that if any member of the Family interferes, not only will Fletcher be disqualified, he’ll be stripped of the TNT Championship.
The experience of Page in his second reign as AEW World Champion is apparent. Whether it’s been MJF, Don Callis, or even Fletcher that’s tried to goad Page into mistakes via anger, he hasn’t let it get to him. That probably wouldn’t have been the case in his first reign as AEW World Champion, although it’s almost not fair to compare Page to the man he was years ago.
But Fletcher isn’t afraid to make that comparison. In fact, he reminded Page that at the first All Out in 2019, he failed in his attempt to win the inaugural AEW World Championship – but Fletcher won’t do the same.
How did we get here? Don Callis made his intentions clear just days after Page defeated MJF to retain the AEW World Championship at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door – he wants that championship back in the Family.
“Back” in the Family references a time when Callis was by the side of former AEW World Champion, Kenny Omega. After Omega recently came to Page’s aid against the Family, the former AEW World Tag Team Champions reunited, then came together the following week on Dynamite as part of a huge 8-man tag match.
Following the win for his team, Fletcher decimated Page with a brainbuster through chairs, but that wasn’t enough. With a table set up on the floor, Fletcher then hit another brainbuster, this time to Omega from the apron through the wood, leaving him in a lifeless heap. In a matter of minutes, Fletcher destroyed Page and Omega.
As if that wasn’t enough, after their contract signing this past Wednesday at September to Remember, Fletcher promised to leave Page battered and unable to walk away on his own two feet. Fletcher came through on his promise at the end of the night when he, with some help from the Family, assaulted Page and put him through a table from the apron, just as he did with Omega weeks earlier.
Fletcher says his prime is now, but is it also his time to rise to the top and become AEW World Champion? Can the AEW World Champion dig deep to defend his title against the inevitable rise of Fletcher? We’ll find out when Hangman faces The Protostar for the richest prize in the game on Saturday at All Out!
AEW Women’s World Championship 4-Way: “Timeless” Toni Storm (c) vs. Jamie Hayter vs. Kris Statlander vs. Thekla
As a proud, fighting AEW Women’s World Champion, “Timeless” Toni Storm has made it known that she will take on any challenge – and for All Out, she decided to issue a challenge of her own to all three of the competitors she’ll face on Saturday.
Storm and Thekla have each stood tall over one another in recent weeks, while Kris Statlander and Jamie Hayter have had tense confrontations, including Hayter mistakenly taking out Statlander while trying to help her with Triangle of Madness. On top of everything else, Statlander continues to get advice and encouragement from the Death Riders and Wheeler Yuta, which adds just another unpredictable element to a match that is already set up to be chaotic.
In what might be her toughest challenge to date, Storm will have to survive three motivated opponents, as well as whatever outside distractions may come from the intertwined webs of all these rivalries, including the potentially looming presence of Thekla’s partners in Triangle of Madness, Skye Blue and Julia Hart.
Will the Timeless reign live on? Which challenger might have what it takes to take the AEW Women’s Championship off Storm? In the words of the champion, expect this 4-way to be nuts!
AEW Unified Championship 3-Way Match: “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. Konosuke Takeshita vs. Máscara Dorada
At AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada had his first successful defense of the AEW Unified Title since becoming the inaugural champion, when he beat Swerve Strickland. He then put that title on the line against Michael Oku last week on AEW Collision as part of the AEW Unified Championship Eliminator Tournament. Despite Oku’s best efforts, Okada retained, putting him in the 3-Way match for the title at All Out.
Another member of the Don Callis Family, Konosuke Takeshita, also qualified for the match by defeating Anthony Bowens earlier in the night on Collision. And this past Wednesday at September to Remember, Máscara Dorada turned away a tough challenge from The Beast Mortos to earn the final berth in this 3-Way.
With Continental Rules in place, no one can be at ringside or interfere, putting all the focus on Okada, Takeshita and Dorada. The tension between Okada and Takeshita has been rising for weeks, as Takeshita never seemed interested in Okada being part of the Family, with Okada showing similar disdain for Takeshita.
Could Dorada take advantage of that and walk away as Unified Champion? Would Takeshita winning be good or bad for the chemistry of the Don Callis Family? Or will Okada turn back a pair of challengers to continue his dominant run as AEW Unified Champion?
TBS Championship Match: “The CEO” Mercedes Moné (c) vs. Riho
On May 26, 2024 at AEW Double or Nothing, Mercedes Moné defeated Willow Nightingale to become the TBS Champion. More than 480 days and 20 successful championship defenses later, she walks into All Out as arguably the most dominant champion in all of AEW.
But she’s never faced Riho.
Following a successful defense of her TBS Championship against Alex Windsor on Dynamite earlier this month, Moné decided the win wasn’t enough and wound up further attacking Windsor after the bell. That brought the surprise return of Riho, who took out Moné and made her intentions clear for the TBS Championship.
Moné decided to get in Riho’s head by bringing in her mentor, Emi Sakura, for a tag match against Riho and Windsor a week later on Dynamite. Riho wasn’t deterred, as she tapped out Sakura for the win. Finally, this past week at September to Remember, Riho defeated Robyn Renegade as The CEO watched from the commentary desk. Thanks to a little help from Renegade, Moné was able to lay out Riho ahead of their match this Saturday at All Out.
Can the former and first AEW Women’s World Champion finally end the TBS Championship reign of Moné? Or will Moné notch a 21st defense of the title no one has been able to take from her in 16 months?
AEW World Tag Team Championship 4-Way Ladder Match: Brodido (ROH World Champion Bandido and Brody King) (c) vs. Young Bucks vs. JetSpeed (“The Jet” Kevin Knight and “Speedball” Mike Bailey) vs. Josh Alexander and Hechicero of the Don Callis Family
It’s been a relatively brief but unquestionably successful partnership for Brody King and ROH World Champion Bandido so far. They took the AEW World Tag Team Championship from The Hurt Syndicate in a match that also included FTR at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door and have since defended the titles against the Death Riders and in CMLL at Arena México against Galeón Fantasma's Zandokan Jr. and Difunto.
The road won’t get any easier for the champions on Saturday, as they’ll walk into All Out for a 4-Way Ladder Match for the AEW World Tag Team Titles against the three teams that qualified this past Wednesday at September to Remember.
The Young Bucks kept their good luck alive with a victory over the Bang Bang Gang. Later, JetSpeed punched their ticket when they beat Kip Sabian and Killswitch. And in the main event, Josh Alexander and Hechicero of the Don Callis Family turned away SkyFlight to secure the final spot in the match.
The Bucks are looking for a record-setting fourth AEW World Tag Team Championship reign and would love to get some revenge on Brodido for knocking them out of the AEW World Tag Team Championship Eliminator Tournament ahead of AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door. “Speedball” Mike Bailey and “The Jet” Kevin Knight might be the most exciting tag team in AEW. And Alexander and Hechicero just want to punish their opponents and bring more gold to the Family.
Can Brodido navigate the challenge of three other teams, let alone the ladders? We’ll find out on Saturday in Toronto!
Tables N’ Tacks Match: MJF vs. Mark Briscoe
Since June, MJF and Mark Briscoe have gone back and forth verbally, physically and emotionally. They were the first two entrants in the Men’s Casino Gauntlet Match at All In, which was won by MJF, earning him a guaranteed AEW World Championship match. That didn’t end the issues between the two, leading to a win by MJF over Briscoe on Dynamite last month in Cleveland, although one in which the referee missed Briscoe’s foot on the ropes.
The two continued to clash even as MJF prepared for his AEW World Championship match with Hangman at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door. A beaten and tied-up Briscoe was used as a negotiating chip to get stipulations in MJF’s favor for his match with Page, yet Briscoe’s presence in the match was still felt, and Page retained.
Briscoe turned his attention to the TNT Championship held by Kyle Fletcher and would have earned a chance at the title if he could defeat Konosuke Takeshita. During that match on Collision two weeks ago, however, MJF interfered – the day after his own wedding! – to cost Briscoe the match.
MJF next pleaded for a match with Briscoe, even saying his foe could name any stipulation he wanted. Briscoe subsequently agreed, naming the time and place as All Out. As for the stipulation, last week on Collision, Briscoe revealed the two would have the first-ever Tables N’ Tacks match in Toronto, before the two got into another brawl. Lastly, on the Friday night before All Out, MJF lost his CMLL World Championship to Místico in a mask vs. title match at CMLL's 92nd Aniversario – and MJF has vowed to take out his anger over the loss on Briscoe.
MJF’s obsession with Briscoe has led him to a match he’s not happy about, even going so far as demanding Tony Khan take him out of the match. Briscoe is tired of all the personal shots and attacks by MJF, especially bringing up the late Jay Briscoe. Has MJF’s mouth written a check he can’t cash, or does he have another evil plan waiting for Briscoe at All Out?
Coffin Match: Darby Allin vs. Jon Moxley
It was just over a year ago that Jon Moxley returned to AEW after a brief hiatus and called out Darby Allin. A week later, Moxley formed the Death Riders, taking out Bryan Danielson in ruthless fashion.
Moxley would go on to defeat Allin at Grand Slam to earn his AEW Championship match with Danielson at WrestleDream, where Moxley became AEW Champion, ending the full-time career of Danielson while also carrying out a savage attack that saw Wheeler Yuta try to suffocate Danielson with a plastic bag. Allin and others helped run off the Death Riders, but the damage had been done. Then, at the end of the year, the Death Riders took out Allin by throwing him down the stairs, putting him out of action indefinitely.
Allin wasn’t seen again until All In, when a video played of Allin calling out Moxley from the summit of Mount Everest, before he descended from the top of the arena and aided “Hangman” Adam Page in battling Moxley and the Death Riders en route to Moxley’s AEW Championship reign finally coming to an end.
Even after making sure Mox was no longer champion, Allin made it clear he was coming for everything Moxley had. Allin has continued to attack Moxley, demanding to fight Mox at All Out, although Allin had to deal with Gabe Kidd as well (which he did by dragging Kidd away in a bodybag attached to a truck on Dynamite in Philadelphia). Moxley then accepted the challenge and promised to put Allin in the ground, hence the Coffin Match stipulation.
At this past week’s September to Remember, Allin was interviewed by Danielson, and while Danielson made a promise to not get involved in any way, he whispered something to Allin. Whatever was said, Allin gave his word to Danielson, just as Danielson gave his word to Allin that he wouldn’t interfere.
Will Allin get revenge on Moxley by putting him in a coffin? Will the Death Riders even allow such a thing? And what did Danielson tell Allin?
Adam Copeland & Christian Cage vs. FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler)
Back in April at AEW Dynasty, Adam Copeland joined Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler to challenge the Death Riders for the AEW World Trios Titles, in the wake of Cope’s two unsuccessful challenges for then-champion Jon Moxley’s AEW World Championship. After losing their bid for the titles, FTR attacked their longtime friend Copeland, putting him on the sidelines, as they accused him of stealing their spotlight.
Copeland returned to AEW at All In when he came to the aid of Christian Cage after Nick Wayne and Kip Sabian turned on him. Copeland told Cage to go find himself, and the two agreed to help each other with their problems. First, Cope and Cage tagged together for the first time in over a decade to beat Sabian and Killswitch at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door. Then, they focused their attention on Cope’s problems with FTR.
Every time all four men (and Stokely) have been under the same roof, a brawl has ensued. With the match made for All Out, FTR has let it be known that what should have been a dream match is now a chance to end Copeland and Christian for good.
The history of these men, specifically how much FTR and Copeland helped each other, was detailed at September to Remember this past Wednesday. And even though heavy fines were promised if any physicality occurred, Cage admitted he was rich enough to defy those mandates, and the four brawled once again with Harwood coming away bloodied and with a broken nose.
That won’t stop Harwood from walking into the backyard of Cage and Copeland alongside Wheeler and Big Stoke this Saturday afternoon in Toronto with bad intentions. While their chemistry is far from what it was at their peak, Copeland and Cage seem united in their aim to handle FTR, while their opponents just want to end their careers and add to their legacy as the winningest tag team in AEW history.
Eddie Kingston vs. Big Bill
Big Bill decided to call out the long-absent Eddie Kingston two weeks ago on AEW Collision. Kingston has been out of action since last May and hasn’t been seen or heard from in any AEW capacity since that time. In fact, other than a Threads post confirming he’d take the match, there’s been little communication from Kingston. He asked for a time and location, which Big Bill gave him this past week on Collision by saying the match would take place at All Out – if Eddie shows up.
Bill has been picking fights for months, so his thirst for more isn’t a surprise, although calling out Kingston was certainly a surprising twist. The two New York natives haven’t crossed paths in the past, but Bill wants to end the mystique surrounding the beloved Kingston.
Will it be a successful return for the “Mad King” on Saturday, or will Big Bill be too much man?
The Hurt Syndicate vs. Ricochet & GOA (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona)
If you want to make an impact in the pro wrestling world, take aim at the top of the food chain. That’s exactly what Ricochet and GOA did at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door when they attacked The Hurt Syndicate, costing them their AEW World Tag Team Championships. Since then, Ricochet revealed that attack was retaliation for his denial into The Hurt Syndicate last year. In fact, Ricochet said his issues with the group go beyond their time in AEW.
When you take aim at Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin, it’s going to be a fight, but that’s exactly what GOA wants. This recent feud has given Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona an even bigger spotlight as they try to stake their claim as the most dangerous team in AEW.
Last week on Dynamite, Ricochet beat Benjamin thanks to some help from GOA, despite both sides agreeing to no interference. That led to a huge brawl, with Liona and Lashley fighting all over the 2300 Arena. A match between those two took place this past Wednesday at September to Remember, with Lashley earning the victory via referee stoppage and The Hurt Syndicate standing tall after fighting off their All Out opponents.
Can Ricochet and GOA get one back on The Hurt Syndicate with a win in this Trios Match? Or will the victorious image of The Hurt Syndicate this Wednesday end up as a preview of what’s to come between these six men on Saturday afternoon?
