AEW All Out Scoops Thread (Patreon)
Content
We'll update this as the night goes on!!
- Billie Starkz was unable to get cleared before the show. Tony Khan mentioned that Athena vs. Billie Starkz was the plan.
- Jeff Jarrett had pitched the Dennis Rodman integration into AEW All Out.
- Sonny Kiss has finished with AEW and was not at TV this weekend. Sonny was booked on Starrcast before the contract expiration.
- AEW was very confident in their backup plan for CM Punk vs. Ricky Starks, which ended up being Bryan Danielson. Starks himself wasn't told the opponent until Saturday. Danielson was cleared in the last week. They already have an opponent in mind for WrestleDream as well.
- Many talent that aren't booked for All Out were heading home before the show.
- There was never a serious discussion that we heard of for an All In Battle Royal. Instead, it was done at All Out, where travel was easier, made more sense and much of the talent was already booked for Starrcast.
- CM Punk signs are being taken at the show. There was a rumor that people with CM Punk shirts are being asked to turn them inside out -- that's false. A security guard said that in jest.
- CJ Perry's spot was kept very quiet ahead of the show. We're working to find out more.
- The mats were changed out after Danielson vs. Starks
