Story summary

AEW's All Out pay-per-view event held at NOW Arena in Chicago on Saturday had a mixed reception, starting slowly due to Steven Borden's injury that halted one match. The highlight was an epic ladder match, but the main event featuring Will Ospreay versus John Moxley with interference from both Death Riders and United Empire factions was criticized for being overly complex and chaotic. Some fans will appreciate the intensity, while others view it as a mess. Overall, the show is expected to be remembered more for its standout matches than its uneven pacing and overbooked main event.

🔮 A separation is a minefield of messy, complicated feelings that Elina and I are both trying our best to navigate, and we are doing so with the great respect and love that we still, and will always, hold for each other,” Monfils wrote.
🔮 They didn’t stop the rest of the faction from acting and being treated like heels, even if they sort of endeared themselves to the audience while helping Will Ospreay on his quest this year to be AEW World champion.
🔮 What WWE was left with, to not completely abandon the moment, was having Nikki Bella and Paige start their own side feud, which is completely understandable and fine — even if ideally you would want both to be helping get over some of the up-and-coming talent, too.
🔮 The rest of this card was filled with the quality of wrestling you would expect from Tony Khan’s company, with some incremental story progressions, a standard debut for Ilja Dragunov and the only surprise coming in the trios championship match Here are five takeaways from WrestleDream Foundation laid
🔮 Drake Maye’s wife was a hit at a local grocery store as more than 1,000 people waited in line to meet her.
🔮 The Patriots will likely have one of their most important offensive weapons back to face the Jets.
🔮 Still, the event feels like a great opportunity to create new stars, something that has happened more often under Triple H.
