5 Things AEW shouldn't do at All Out 2021

#4 Christian Cage shouldn't dethrone Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship

Could this be the scene again?

Christian Cage is surely riding high ahead of his AEW World Championship match against Kenny Omega at All Out.

During the inaugural episode of Rampage, the former WWE Superstar broke the internet after he defeated The Cleaner for the IMPACT World Championship. Understandably, Omega's hectic schedule and growing concerns over his injuries may have led to a title change.

Still, AEW shouldn't repeat the same booking on September 5th. Captain Charisma might appeal to a lot of die-hard wrestling fans, but he isn't the perfect choice to represent the company's top prize moving forward.

While Cage is a well-established star, Hangman Page should be the one to take the title from Omega. The Anxious Millennial Cowboy was supposed to get his crowning moment at All Out, but he had to take an indefinite hiatus due to the arrival of his first child.

Until Hangman comes back, Omega must stay on top. If the title does change hands this Sunday, this outcome could lead to a disappointing climax for the storyline between Page and Omega.

#3 CM Punk shouldn't beat Darby Allin in a squash match

CM Punk made his AEW debut on Rampage a few weeks ago!

Fans have high expectations from the first-time ever clash between CM Punk and Darby Allin. As exhilarating as the match sounds, The Straight Edge Superstar is considered a favorite to win the match.

Given his caliber, any wrestling promotion would book him strongly to capitalize on his momentum. That being said, AEW shouldn't give CM Punk a dominant debut with a squash victory over the former TNT champion.

If we turn back the clock, Goldberg's return match against Brock Lesnar in WWE ended in two minutes. A similar booking for CM Punk at All Out would not only destroy the hype surrounding the match, but it would also hurt Allin's push moving forward.

While there isn't any shame in taking a pinfall from a major star like CM Punk, the bout has all the potential to turn Allin from a star to a megastar.

Despite the predictable result, the company should give both men sufficient time to be in the ring to showcase their impressive skills.

The former AEW TNT Champion has been touted as one of the company's future stars, and his match against CM Punk should be a stepping stone to elevate his status.
