And here's who your pal Jude Terror thinks is winning each match:

AEW All Out Main Card Predictions

The storyline leading up to this match suggests Punk will win. It's possible that Punk will turn heel (though he may still be cheered in Chicago), and MJF will probably get involved in this match in some way. But there's enough ambiguity that any outcome is really possible, which is what makes this a great main event. If I was booking — Moxley would win. The guy is currently on a great run and I want it to continue, even though I'm pretty sure it ends tonight.

Predicted Winner: CM Punk

Will Britt Baker or Hikaru Shida become two-time AEW Women's Champions? Or will Toni Storm become champ for the first time? The most unlikely winner of the four, Jamie Hayter, is perhaps the one who deserves it most, and the most interesting choice. I'll be pulling for Hayter, but I think Storm must win, as that seems like the direction they were heading before Thunder Rosa got injured.

Predicted Winner: Toni Storm

The Acclaimed are without a doubt one of the hottest acts in AEW, but I don't see them winning tonight. Swerve in Our Glory are really just getting started, and Tony Khan needs to get his money's worth out of them. It's possible the Gunn Club gets involved here.

Predicted Winners: Swerve in Our Glory

Jade Cargill will one day lose the TBS Championship, but it should be to build a new star, not to elevate an ex-WWE one. I'm pretty sure Cargill will retain.

Predicted Winner: Jade Cargill

It's hard to imagine Kenny Omega losing his first big match since returning, even if Page and the Dark Order deserve and have earned the win here tonight. A win for Dark Order would be the feel-good moment of the night, but sometimes wrestling isn't about feel-good moments; it's about heartbreak.

Predicted Winners: The Elite

Don't get me wrong — Bryan Danielson vs. Chris Jericho is likely to be a great match, perhaps even better than people expect. But the build to the match has really been about the fight for Daniel Garcia's soul, and it feels like the whole point is for Garcia to ascend to mega babyface status and join the Blackpool Combat Club. So the most likely outcome is Garcia preventing Jericho from cheating for a Danielson win.

Predicted Winner: Bryan Danielson

After everything Christian Cage has done to Jungle Boy, a Jungle Boy win is the most obvious prediction of the night. Sometimes, the obvious choice is the right one, as is the case here. Christian will put Jungle Boy… excuse me, Jack Perry… over huge.

Predicted Winner: Jungle Boy

On the one hand Malakai Black is rumored to have recently been dissatisfied and asked for his release, though things are reportedly smoothed over now. He could really use a big win lest House of Black feel like a bunch of losers. But on the other hand, Miro also needs the big win. I'm gonna go with Miro, but no matter who wins, social media is gonna be pissed and claim the other is being misused.

Predicted Winners: Miro, Darby Allin, and Sting

This whole feud is about Ricky Starks ascending to the next level, right? So it makes sense for him to win, right? Sure. But then when will it be Powerhouse Hobbs's turn?!

Predicted Winner: Ricky Starks

This match will be a treat, but it's hard to imagine Wardlow and FTR not getting the win here.

Predicted Winners: Wardlow and FTR

The mostly likely winner of this one is whoever debuts or returns in the Joker slot, right?

Predicted Winner: The Joker

And for the All Out Zero Hour Pre-Show:

AEW Zero Hour Full Card and Predictions

• All-Atlantic Championship Match: Kip Sabian vs. Pac
• FTW Championship Match: Hook vs. Angelo Parker
• AAA Mixed Tag Team Championship Match: Tay Melo and Sammy Guevara vs. Ortiz and Ruby Soho
• Eddie Kingston vs. Tomohiro Ishii

This is yet another match where it feels like both competitors really need the win. After taking a lot of losses in his AEW career, Pac finally got his due when he won the tournament to become the first All-Atlantic Champion, and he's barely defended that title. Sabian, on the other hand, well, his whole gimmick is about being overlooked, and this is his first match since returning. I think this one is more make-or-break for Sabian.

Predicted Winner: Kip Sabian

This is basically a squash exhibition match. Hook wins.

Predicted Winner: Hook

We've talked a lot in this article about AEW wrestlers who really need wins, and in that category, Ortiz and Ruby Soho may top the list. AEW waited so long to give a big win to Ortiz that his tag team completely disintegrated before they had a chance to hold the belts (and his former partner seems unhappy about it). Ruby Soho has basically lost every big match in AEW, most notably the one where Rancid played her to the ring. Sammy and Tay can definitely take a loss here, but will they? I'm gonna have to go with hope on this one, even though I'm skeptical.

Predicted Winners: Ortiz and Ruby Soho

I'm sure this will be a great match, but being in the only non-title match on the pre-show feels a little bit like a punishment for Eddie Kingston following his recent suspension. Still, Kingston lost his NJPW match against Ishii, so he'll probably win his AEW rematch, and then hopefully can return to that feud with Sammy Guevara that got him suspended in the first place.

Winner: Eddie Kingston

AEW All Out Results

Check back here later to see who won and see highlights of any major events or surprises. The pre-show starts at 7PM Eastern and the main show at 8.

AAA Mixed Tag Team Championship Match: Tay Melo and Sammy Guevara vs. Ortiz and Ruby Soho

Ortiz and Soho kicked off Zero Hour by chasing down Sammy and Tay in a golf cart, calling back to the original Stadium Stampede match. There was some brief but not-too-impactful interference from Anna Jay. Soho took the pin from Melo and it was over before it even really started (and we got the prediction wrong).

FTW Championship Match: Hook vs. Angelo Parker

Angelo Parker actually put up more of a fight here against Hook than Ortiz and Ruby Soho did in the previous match. In the end, Hook had no problem dispatching Parker via the Redrum despite Matt Menard's interference (we got that one right). When Menard jumped Hook after the match, rapper Action Bronson came out of the crowd and tossed them both out of the ring.

All-Atlantic Championship Match: Kip Sabian vs. Pac

It's nice to see Kip Sabian back in an AEW ring. Even if he spent most of that time in the ring getting his butt kicked by Pac. As part of Sabian's new gimmick, he talks to his box. Pac got the pin with the Black Arrow, so Sabian lost his first match back (another one we got wrong). Maybe he wasn't underrated after all (according to the booking)??

After the match, Tony Schiavone tried to interview Pac, but Orange Cassidy interrupted. Pac called him a joke and told him to get to the back of the line. Kip Sabian was shown sitting in the ring, yelling at his box some more.

Eddie Kingston vs. Tomohiro Ishii

Does being in the last match of the pre-show count as main-eventing? Eddie got a pre-match video package for this one. The match was as hard-hitting as you'd expect and earned a "this is awesome" chant from the crowd. It also got about fifteen minutes, so not a bad showing for either guy. Kingston got the win and, hopefully with the suspension behind him, can get back on track in AEW. There was lots of pointing of respect after the match.

Time for the main card…

Casino Ladder Match featuring Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Penta El Zero Miedo, Rey Fénix, Rush, Andrade El Idolo, Dante Martin, and "The Joker"

The ladder match went along as ladder matches usually do until all the competitors were in but the Joker. In a surprise twist, Stokely Hathaway's crew came out and decimated the competitors. Then the Joker came out, to Sympathy for the Devil, and Stokely handed him the chip, securing a future AEW World Championship shot. The Joker kept his devil mask on the entire time and left without revealing himself. Are we thinking that's MJF? And will he be back later?

See highlights from the match here.

AEW World Trios Championship Tournament Final Match: The Elite vs. Dark Order

The crowd was hot for a fast-paced match with lots of false finishes. The Bucks and Kenny Omega battled the Dark Order and Hangman Page, who desperately wanted to help his friends become the inaugural AEW World Trios Champions. And things were going well… until Page accidentally delivered the Buckshot Lariat to John Silver, costing his team the match.

Page was furious with himself after the match, and the story between him and his former Elite teammates isn't over.

See highlights here.

TBS Championship Match: Jade Cargill vs. Athena

Athena nearly got an early pin at the start of the match, but the Baddies stopped her. That was as close as she got. Cargill cosplayed She-Hulk for the match, with partial green body paint. Cargill put Athena away with Jaded in a relatively short match.

See highlights here.

After the match, CM Punk cut a promo in the parking lot like he was running for mayor.

FTR and Wardlow vs. The Motor City Machine Guns and Jay Lethal

This is the match that bridges the gap between prime TNA and modern AEW. FTR vs. MGMG is a dream match, and we got a lot of that here, though not enough not to justify a future two-on-two between those two teams. The main story of this match was Jay Lethal trying to avoid a Powerbomb Symphony from Wardlow, and as you'd expect, he failed in that quest. Lethal was done after four powerbomb. Well, he was probably done after the first one, but he got three more for good measure.

After the match, the Machine Guns, Satnam Singh, and Sonjay Dutt tried for a post-match beatdown, but Samoa Joe returned to AEW to make the save. Dax Harwood's daughter Finlay came out, broke Dutt's pencil, and then pinned him after a knockout punch from Harwood (the ref counted and everything).

Ricky Starks vs. Powerhouse Hobbs

Ricky Starks came up short again, losing to former teammate Powerhouse Hobbs. It wasn't what we predicted, but honestly, either of these guys (or preferably both) getting a big push is a great thing. This was the first match on the main card we predicted incorrectly, by the way.

AEW World Tag Team Championship Match: Swerve in Our Glory vs. The Acclaimed

"Yo, let me get a pillow. How you gonna put me in a match against Lizzo?" – That was Max Caster's diss on Keith Lee during his entrance rap. He also referenced Donald Trump's FBI troubles. The crowd got a good "Oh scissor me daddy" chant going during this one. A "Daddy Ass" chant too. The crowd was 100% behind The Acclaimed in this match, treating Swerve in Our Glory as heels. And they wrestled like them, going after Anthony Bowens' previously injured knee. That was the right move because the crowd was next level hot for this match and a potential Acclaimed win, leading to a loud "bullshit" chant after Keith Lee broke up a pin during one particularly believable false finish.

Keith Lee got the pin with a Spirit Bomb combined with a Swerve Stomp. The crowd was not pleased. I wasn't pleased either. But it is the result I predicted.

After the match, Keith Lee tried to redeem his team by scissoring Daddy Ass, but even that wasn't enough for the crowd, who now hate Swerve in Our Glory with a passion for thwarting our heroes. It would behoove AEW to put the belts on The Acclaimed ASAP.

AEW Interim Women's World Championship Match: Toni Storm vs. Dr. Britt Baker vs. Hikaru Shida vs. Jamie Hayter

The Interim Women's World Championship match at All out had the misfortune of occurring after the absolutely heartbreaking loss by The Acclaimed. Hayter and Baker worked together in the match, and at one point managed to take out Shida so that she had to be helped to the back by medical staff. That left them to double-team Storm, but even that heelish behavior didn't stop the crowd rightfully chanting for Jamie Hayer. Chicago knows what it wants, and it's mostly the same things I want. Shida eventually came back with double kendo sticks.

Hayter had the match won, but Baker pulled out the ref as Hayter was pinning Shida. That led to Storm eventually being able to get the pin on Hayter, and hopefully to a feud between Baker and Hayter that leads to Hayter getting a mega push. And now, Toni Storm gets her turn to shine as interim champion, which was what we predicted would happen.

Highlights here.

Christian Cage vs. Jungle Boy

During Jungly Boy's entrance, Luchasaurus attacked him from behind and murdered him before the match started, putting him through a table in front of his sister and mother in the crowd. Jungle Boy managed to start the match anyway, and survive a spear, but a Killswitch finished the job in under a minute.

Daniel Garcia on a Pole Match: Chris Jericho vs. Bryan Danielson

Jericho came to the ring in Lionheart gear with White Zombie playing. Danielson was sung to the ring by Elliot Taylor (basically the Wish.com version of Machine Gun Kelly). The combined age of Chris Jericho and Bryan Danielson is 93, but that didn't stop them from putting on a match of the pace and intensity of two men half their combined age. That being said, one of these days Jericho is gonna break his neck doing the lionsault. Nobody would fault you for giving that one up, dude.

Jericho and Danielson played their greatest hits, but in the end, it was a low-blow followed by the Judas Effect that let Jericho get the win. Not celebrating with the JAS after the match was Daniel Garcia, who was seen backstage looking ashamed of his mentor.

Miro, Darby Allin, and Sting vs. House of Black

They made Sting stay up way past his bedtime for this one. The penultimate match of the night, starting after 11PM, was a crowd-pleaser to wake everyone up before the main event. Even Chicago gets tired. The formula was simple: heels do heelish things until a face gets a hot tag, gets some offense, crowd cheers, repeat until Sting blew black mist in Malakai Black's face and Darby pinned him.

Chris Jericho interrupted a Daniel Garcia interview to confront him about not celebrating earlier. Garcia told Jericho he let him down by cheating. Jericho said Garcia let him down and so the JAS won't back up Garcia against Wheeler Yuta next week. Garcia was pretty butthurt about it, but Jericho is kinda right there.

AEW World Championship Match: Jon Moxley vs. CM Punk

The atmosphere of the match was epic. Complaints about the first match on Dynamite ruining the heat for this one turned out to be completely unfounded. It started with the fabled "big match feel" from the first entrance, and the crowd was nuclear throughout. Punk nearly got an early pin with the Go to Sleep to show he wasn't going to crumble again. From there it turned into a brawl, into the crowd and back, where Punk got busted open with a big gash on his forehead. A lengthy segment where Moxley, covered in Punk's blood, absolutely punished Punk, covered in even more of Punk's blood, nearly won over some Chicagoans to Moxley's side. Punk kicked out of a Paradigm Shift, and two Go to Sleeps put a rabid Moxley away.

After the match, the lights went out and the speakers played a voicemail from Tony Khan begging MJF to return to AEW and agreeing to pay him more money without a contract extension. MJF revealed himself as the mystery man in the demon mask and came out to the stage. As Punk posed with the belt in the ring, the crowd chanted MJF before All Out went off the air.

Highlights.

That was the best PPV ending I can remember in a long time. Great main event too. And a fun show overall. AEW needed a big win here and I think they got it. Thanks for reading.
