All Elite Wrestling: Dynamite: AEW All Out (2024)
September 7, 2024 5:14 PM - Season 5 (Specials) - Subscribe
We've come once again to the anniversary of All Elite Wrestling's inaugural show as a new promotion. Last year in Chicago... had a lot to overcome, but AEW is having a Hot Wrestling Autumn, coming off a well-received return to Wembley Stadium and headed towards Grand Slam in NYC later this month. A lot of matches tonight, but the main focus will be on (1) Danielson placing an "I Win Or I Quit" stipulation on all his title matches, (2) WIll Ospreay facing a fellow countryman with whom he has a history, and (3) Swerve and Hangman are going to MURDER each other in a cage.

I have a sneaky feeling something went awry in the first match finish, like maybe Garcia was supposed to reach the ropes when MJF went for the jackknife pin, and then they vamped for time by staging that extra post-match angle. What I mean, I can't really think of a reason why someone would choose to have MJF win this when the whole purpose of the match and this vengeance angle was to re-launch Daniel Garcia.

I never thought Castagnoli & Yuta had a shot -- doubling up the Trios Championships with the Tag-Team titles on the same people would be a tacit admission that they were redundant -- but I'm glad to see that Yuta no longer exists to eat tags for the BCC. It was also fun for the commentary team to say Yuta was "one of the most dominant ROH Pure Champions ever" who "really put the title on the map" which leaves Nigel sputtering with anger.

Ospreay vs PAC came away as though it was a highlight reel compilation of great spots from a dozen matches, but no, they got all that shit done in ONE MATCH. Working twice as fast as anyone else on this card.
On the other hand, I thought Nightingale vs. Statlander was going to be a relative breather but nooope. Both women took nasty bumps and bled -- second red match tonight! I was surprised to see that Kris took the victory, but on reflection Willow needs some time away to defend her CMLL title, and possibly Statlander is now free to unleash her hardcore attitude on other, more deserving foes.

Start to finish, this may be one of AEW's best pay-per-views so far. Hangman vs. Swerve was possibly the bloodiest "extreme" style match -- outside of GCW or anything involving Nick Gage -- that I've seen from a national promotion.

What I don't love is that the cameraman gave us a perfectly-framed shot of Daniel Garcia blading his forehead and production failed to cut away. To quote Eddie Kingston "I know kayfabe is dead but you don't gotta piss on its grave."
