AEW’s All Out pay-per-view at the NOW Arena in Chicago delivered a wildly uneven performance that will be remembered more for its chaotic finish than its strong middle section.
The event got off to a sluggish start, further complicated by Steven Borden’s injury that forced the early termination of his match. While the show found its footing with quality performances that followed, the evening concluded with a main event that polarized viewers—some praising its intensity while others criticized its excessive complexity.
Despite the inconsistency, the ladder match stood out as a highlight that elevated the overall card, though much of the night felt forgettable in comparison.
How Much Is Too Much
The main event between Will Ospreay and John Moxley delivered exactly the kind of shenanigans and outside interference fans anticipated, with the Death Riders and United Empire creating a volatile atmosphere. However, the execution went beyond creative chaos into territory reminiscent of overbooked storylines, feeling too similar to classic Bloodline-style matches that relied heavily on interference rather than clean wrestling storytelling.
