CM Punk and Chris Jericho will be involved in big matches at All Out

All Out 2021 is likely to be the biggest pay-per-view event in AEW history. The return of CM Punk to professional wrestling has dominated the headlines, but there are other matches to look forward to.

CM Punk vs Darby Allin has been well-documented and is the marquee match. It will probably be the main event as well. All titles in AEW will be on the line in some mouthwatering matches.

Kenny Omega and Christian Cage will face off for the AEW World Championship while the Young Bucks will take on the Lucha Brothers in a steel cage match. Miro and Eddie Kingston will battle over the TNT Championship while Britt Baker will look to vanquish Kris Statlander.

Jon Moxley will take on Japanese legend Satoshi Kojima and Paul Wight will make his AEW in-ring debut against QT Marshall. Chris Jericho's career will be on the line against MJF, and 21 women will participate in a battle royale to earn a future championship opportunity.

With such a stacked card in place, let's look at five things AEW must do at All Out.


#5. AEW All Out main event must be CM Punk vs Darby Allin

AEW signing CM Punk was one of the biggest wrestling stories in recent history. The United Center sold out simply because it was rumored that CM Punk would be there. He's the biggest star in the company, a legitimate megastar.

Just like AEW made the right call at Rampage by having the Second City Saint open the show, they must make another right call and have CM Punk vs Darby Allin in the main event at All Out.

There's little doubt that the crowd will be the loudest for the Chicago native and any match post that will see a slightly calmer crowd. Moreover, the match between Punk and Allin has been the biggest attraction for All Out with AEW advertising it extremely heavily.

#4. MJF must retire Chris Jericho from in-ring action at AEW All Out 2021

MJF and Chris Jericho have been feuding for many, many months. The Salt of the Earth has faced Le Champion twice in AEW and won both times. Their third match has the highest stakes: If Jericho doesn't win at All Out, he retires from in-ring action in AEW.

MJF must be the one to retire Chris Jericho. The Demo God will be touring with Fozzy through September and October and AEW has added enough members to their roster to ensure they don't miss the first ever AEW world champion. Jericho will still be a part of the company, albeit in a different role.

A win at All Out for MJF will do wonders for him. Having already retired Cody Rhodes from any world title opportunity, putting Chris Jericho away would add another feather to MJF's cap and cement him as one of the greatest heels in all of wrestling today.


#3. Kenny Omega must get his revenge on Christian Cage at AEW All Out 2021

Christian Cage defeating Kenny Omega at the AEW Rampage premiere was a shock to everyone. Despite interference from the Young Bucks, Captain Charisma got the win to become the new IMPACT Wrestling world champion and the first man to defeat the Best Bout Machine one-on-one in over a year and a half.

AEW must not repeat that at All Out. Kenny Omega has been built as an unstoppable human being and dropping two belts in less than a month would ruin that. There are far better options to dethrone the Belt Collector; someone like a Hangman Adam Page.

Their story was put to the side for now, but whenever the Millennial Cowboy returns, he should be the one to defeat the Cleaner for the AEW World Championship. Hence, Kenny Omega must retain at All Out.

#2. Miro must retain the TNT Championship at AEW All Out 2021

Eddie Kingston's story in AEW is the most heartwarming. His organic rise to the top through amazing promos and intensity in the ring has endeared him to fans. However, at All Out, Miro must retain.

Miro has done a fantastic job of making himself look like an unbeatable beast. But the Mad King has exposed Miro's weakness: the DDT.

As tempting as it would be to see Kingston with the belt, he simply doesn't need it. Miro has been built up very well and needs to defeat Eddie Kingston to maintain credibility. Hence, at All Out, Miro must come out on top, even if it's at the end of a hellacious, hard-hitting bout.


#1. AEW must debut Ruby Soho at All Out 2021

Ruby Soho has been teasing her return to the ring for many weeks, and with all the rumors floating around, AEW must debut her as the Joker in the women's battle royale at All Out.

Although all 21 names have been announced, AEW revealed that Julia Hart will not be taking part in the match, leaving the door open for the star to make her debut.

Ruby Soho is the best female free agent right now. Her in-ring abilities were not showcased properly in WWE and her unique look is something that's missing in AEW.

Her non-compete clause with WWE is over, she has teased Chicago in her videos and now, AEW must introduce her at All Out.
