5 Surprising Moments from AEW All Out 2021

#1 Adam Cole and Bryan Danielson debut at AEW All Out 2021

Adam Cole and Bryan Danielson are All Elite

The main event at AEW All Out was in a tough spot. It came after the highly anticipated CM Punk return match and after nearly four hours of exciting action. It took a while for the tired Chicago crowd to warm up to the World Championship main event at AEW All Out. But they did, thanks to the excellent work by two solid in-ring workers in Omega and Christian. Twenty-one minutes later, Kenny Omega hit a One-Winged Angel from the middle turnbuckle for the victory. But it wasn’t the main event that will get the pro wrestling world talking after AEW All Out.

The Elite naturally came down for a post-match attack. Even Jurassic Express could turn the tables. Kenny Omega, always the cocky heel, said the only people who could beat him are already “dead.” Enter the “dead” Adam Cole. It was undoubtedly a shock to see him at this point in the show. Even more surprising was seeing him instantly turn heel and join The Elite.

But this incredible show wasn’t done. It was time for Bryan Danielson to make his debut, too, and clear the ring. It's tough to say if we have seen a pro wrestling segment like that in a long, long time. We had two huge debuts in the course of just a few minutes. CM Punk, Ruby Soho, Adam Cole, and Bryan Danielson have joined the company in just the last few weeks? It is a great time to be an All Elite Wrestling fan. We cannot wait to see where the company goes next.
