AEW ALL OUT 2023 Was Not a House Show!!

Why AEW All Out Was Not A House Show

            AEW’s Second ALL IN in history took place one week before the AEW ALL OUT Pay Per View. Some wrestling fans were worried about that the ALL OUT AEW Pay Per View would have a AEW Dynamite, AEW Collision, or at worse AEW Rampage feel but I am here to say all these months later that AEW ALL OUT was not a house show and was not even a weekly televised show for AEW.

            No! AEW ALL OUT had very much different set of matches than AEW’s second ALL IN and even though it did have a different feeling of excitement than the second AEW ALL IN the ALL Out Pay Per View still had a very big pay per view feel.

            That Main Event Match at ALL OUT 2023 between Orange Cassidy (c) vs. Jon Moxley for the AEW International Championship match had a World Heavyweight Championship match quality for any Professional Wrestling Organization. Not to mention the nontitle match between Kenny Omega vs. Konosuke Takeshita. That Kenny Omega vs. Konosuke Takeshita would be a banger under any wrestling brand. Then of course no forgetting the women’s TBS championship match between Kris Statlander (c) vs. Ruby Soho. And another nontitle men’s competition match that is worth mentioning between Miro vs. Powerhouse Hobbs talking about two of some of the biggest men inside AEW that Tony Khan could put in one-on-one competition.

            It was an awesome night where former Chicago Bull Dennis Rodman returned to the professional wrestling world for the first time since his nWo days inside WCW. Putting ALL IN and ALL OUT a week apart on Pay Per View must have been good for AEW because it looks like AEW is on the way to do it again in 2024 with ALL IN Returning to Wembley Stadium August of 2024.

            I personally was not disappointed by ALL IN and ALL OUT being a week later and I am already planning to order both pay per views again in 2024. I say if you haven’t watched either of these pay per views that you find a way to especially if you like AEW because neither AEW ALL OUT nor AEW ALL IN disappoints. They each stand on their own Marriotts and are both great wrestling pay per views that are worth watching because ALL OUT’s quality of action did not hurt with ALL IN being a week before and I will once again state the truth “AEW ALL OUT WAS NOT A HOUSE SHOW!”
