Dynamite -
The Apex kicks off the show in the ring. Jarrett discusses being the center of the wrestling world and the bedrock of AEW, and yet he isn’t even booked on tonight’s show. None of the Apex are. And, tonight, Cody isn’t even here. Is he scared to come face-to-face with Jarrett?
Bobby Roode grabs the mic. “James and I love tag team wrestling. And it’s our sole goal to become AEW Tag Team Champions. But at All Out, we’ve got a chance to earn a World Title Shot. The only thing we can guarantee? Those punks who call themselves the Chosen Bros won’t walk out of All Out with the shot. It’s time for Matt Riddle and Jeff Cobb to be humbled.”
Shawn Spears takes the mic next. “Where would this company be without The Apex? We are the headliners; the top of the card. And the reason why people are going to tune in to All Out. But I need a warm-up match before my re-match with Gable Steveson.” Hurricane’s music hits, and out walks the Hurricane.
Match 1 - Shawn Spears (6-3) vs. The Hurricane (0-4)
Spears wins with the C4 in 4:42, then grabs the mic. “Gable Steveson, this is your future. I’ll be the first man to pin a loss on the Olympic Champion.”
—
LAX comes to the ring. Konnan starts with the mic.
“At Blood and Guts, we were hoodwinked by The New Day. They entered an unsigned Big E. Without that illegal substitution, LAX would have won and we’d be talking about LAX vs. the Steiners at All Out. Now Big E has the cajones to challenge Hernandez to a match? I’ll let the big man answer.”
Hernandez - “Big E. I’ll see you at All Out. And I will squash you like a bug.”
—
We see a clip from before the show, with Taz and Hook arguing. Taz tells Hook to be careful around Raven. Hook tells Taz to stay out of his business and walks off.

Match 2 - Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus) (3-5) vs. Malakai Black & Billy Kidman
Jurassic Express gets the win in 10:43 after Jungle Boy locks in the Snare Trap on Kidman while Luchasaurus and Black are fighting outside the ring. After the bell, Black sprays Lucha with black mist and hits the Black Mass. The Butcher and the Blade also run out and they attack Jungle Boy in the ring. Marko Stunt runs out, but also gets stomped by the House of Black, who stand tall in the ring.
—
Ronda Rousey and Paige VanZant are in the ring after the break.
Ronda - “Last week, those ditzy girls attacked Paige and I out of nowhere. It’s time to teach them a lesson. Braun beats beauty any day of the week!”
Paige - “When I was starting out in MMA, Ronda was the person I wanted to be. Then she crossed over into wrestling, and I wanted to follow suit. It’s a huge honor to stand in this ring with Ronda. And, yet, here come Angelina Love, Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky, trying to spoil things.” This brings out the Beautiful People.
Angelina - “Aw, look at the ugly little girls in the ring. They’re offended by us. Frankly, we’ve been waiting for one of you to decide you’ve had enough and finally challenge us.”
Ronda - “I’m challenging you, specifically. Right now!”
The Beautiful People confer, then Angelina says, “You’re on. But not right now. I’ll see you next Wednesday.”
—
Match 3 - The Chosen Bros (2-1) vs. 5150 (1-4)
The Bros pick up the win when Jeff Cobb hits the Tour of the Islands on Danny Rivera in 5:56. Riddle grabs the mic afterward.
“Man, we are so exceedingly pumped for All Out. And especially for the Casino Battle Royale. And because Mr. Tony Khaaaaaaaaaaaaan knows I like to talk, he’s letting me reveal the next five participants in the match: Sammy Guevara, Andrade El Idolo, Malakai Black, Luchasaurus and Dean Malenko!”
Cobb - “It doesn’t matter who is in the match. Because I’m going to walk out as the number one contender.”
Riddle - “Bro, you and me both.”
Cobb looks at Riddle puzzlingly, then they shrug, bump fists and walk toward the back.
—
Jake Hager comes to the ring wearing a neckbrace. A replay shows last week, when Joe attacked after Hager’s match and cinched in the coquina clutch. “Samoa Joe, we’ve got one more pressing matter to discuss before I agree to step into that ring with you again. You see, Joe, you used an illegal move to defeat me last time. Then you used it again on me last week, after I’d already fought a grueling match. You injured my neck. Your coquina clutch? It should be outlawed. I want it in writing that, if you use that move against me, you will be disqualified and I will win the match!”
Joe’s music hits and out walks the Samoan Submission Machine. “Do you think that taking one move out of my arsenal will turn the tide, Mr. All-American? Go right ahead. I can tear you limb from limb in a million other ways.” Joe walks toward the ring and climbs in, but Jake slides out.
Jake - “I’ll see you at All Out in 10 days.”
—
Match 4 - Andrade El Idolo (3-3) vs. Dean Malenko (1-9) w/ Peter Avalon
Andrade dominates Dean early, until he gets distracted by Peter Avalon flexing and posing outside the ring. Dean hits an Inverted DDT, then keeps on the offensive. Dean gets the win after hitting an Exploding Gutbuster at 8:56. Peter gets in the ring and hugs Dean - who doesn’t hug back - and Peter raises Dean’s arm in victory. Dean pulls his arm away and walks up the ramp, with Peter following him and cheering him on.

Raven comes to ringside with a microphone and stands in front of Taz. “I see someone standing in front of me who likes to talk a lot and stick his nose in other people’s business. The truth, Taz, is that your son does better when you aren’t in his ear.”
Taz stands and walks around the desk, standing face to face with Raven. “You’re the one who needs to mind his own business. Stay out of my family’s business.”
Raven - “See, there was a time when we were family, you and I. But that was back when you laced your own boots. Now you’re just a washed up old man who is trying to live vicariously through his son. A son who wants nothing to do with him.”
Taz shoves Raven, who goes to fight back, but they’re quickly separated. Raven grabs a mic again - “You want to get your hands on me that much? Let’s make it official. Let’s meet in the ring and all around the arena. At All Out.”
Taz - “You think that just because I don’t fight any more, that I can’t handle myself? You’re on!”
Raven smiles at Taz, then walks off.
—
Match 5 - Serena Deeb (4-2) vs. Riho (4-2)
In Deeb’s first appearance since her Lights Out loss to Paige VanZant, she wins with the Serenity Lock at 8:55.
—
Jade Cargill comes to the ring to talk about her upcoming match with Alexa Bliss.
Jade - “Ever since AEW began, I have dominated the women’s division. I have worked hard and kept pushing. I earned my spot, and I keep earning it week in and week out. I am the best in this business. I’m the baddest in the business. And, yet, this crazy girl comes in and immediately gets a shot at MY championship? Puh-leeeze. This girl doesn’t need a wrestling ring. She needs a shrink.” Jade’s mic cuts out and the lights go off. When they come back on, Alexa is in the ring with Lily. She tosses Lily at Jade, who dodges the doll, then Alexa dropkicks Jade in the knee, bringing her down. Then she hits a running knee to Jade’s face.
Alexa picks up Lily and the belt, then slides out of the ring as Jade recovers. Alexa smiles toward Jade, then kisses the belt and lays it down on the ground. She turns and walks up the ramp, while Jade looks on angrily.
