AEW All Out 2021 is being praised for being one of the best major events of the year so far. It was a stellar night of professional wrestling with great matches and huge surprises up and down the card. There was plenty for the live audience to enjoy at Chicago's NOW Arena, as well as the fans back home.
The Lucha Brothers defeated The Young Bucks to win the AEW World Tag Team Championships inside a steel cage. CM Punk made his in-ring return after seven years away from the business by beating Darby Allin in a class effort.
Kenny Omega retained his AEW World Championship over Christian Cage and then welcomed Adam Cole into The Elite before Bryan Danielson broke up the party.

With so much going down on this evening and the landscape shifting end of the pay-per-view, some big feuds could have begun with this event. In this article, let's look at the five feuds that could emerge from AEW All Out 2021.
#5 Thunder Rosa vs. Nyla Rose - AEW All Out 2021
The Women's Casino Battle Royale at AEW All Out 2021 had a tough challenge ahead of it following an all-time classic AEW World Tag Team Championship Steel Cage Match. However, the female stars were able to accomplish a lot in the slot given to them.
The surprise arrival of Ruby Soho will grab the headlines from this contest, but there was plenty to take away. While Jade Cargill looked dominant and Big Swole resumed her feud with Diamante, Thunder Rosa and Nyla Rose continued their rivalry that seemingly began before AEW All Out 2021.
Both women interacted quite a bit during the Casino Battle Royale and were in the final three. Rosa eliminated Nyla Rose before being taken out by the eventual winner Ruby Soho at AEW All Out 2021.
Rosa and Nyla could continue their rivalry following this show and have a showdown against one another on a future episode of AEW Dynamite.
Thunder Rosa and Nyla Rose have fought on one occasion before, with the latter picking up the win in the Women's World Championship Tournament earlier this year. With Rose's position as a former AEW Women's World Champion, this could potentially be the big win that Rosa needs on her way to another shot at the gold.

#4 The Lucha Brothers vs. Santana & Ortiz - AEW All Out 2021
The best bout of the night at AEW All Out 2021 was undeniably The Young Bucks vs. The Lucha Brothers in a Steel Cage Match for the AEW World Tag Team Championships. It was a vintage Lucha libre style blowoff match with blood, hatred, and compelling storytelling. This was an unbelievable encounter that escalated to a superb ending.
Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix beat Matt and Nick Jackson to walk out of AEW All Out 2021 with the World Tag Team Championships and will now contend with the absolutely stacked tag team division of the promotion.
There are plenty of teams who will make perfect foils for the Lucha Brothers, but one team has momentum and plenty of experience against the new champs.
Santana and Ortiz have been one of the top tag teams in All Elite Wrestling for quite some time. On last week's episode of Dynamite ahead of AEW All Out 2021, Proud N Powerful defeated FTR in an excellent opener. They could use that victory to propel themselves to the No.1 spot in the rankings and get the next shot at the gold.
Santana and Ortiz not only have momentum thanks to that big win, but they have a history with the Lucha Brothers. The two tag teams were in a fierce rivalry in IMPACT Wrestling during 2019 that saw them trade the Tag Team Championships for the company.
Proud N Powerful won the blowoff match of that feud and can use it to beat Penta and Fenix again for the AEW World Tag Team Titles.
#3 Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. vs. Ruby Soho - AEW All Out 2021
Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., walked into AEW All Out with her Women's World Championship and walked out with the title after defeating Kris Statlander in an excellent encounter.
Her reign with the gold has been impressive and has added further prestige to the title. Baker's star power has risen over the past year and stands to grow even more as AEW adds to their roster.
One of the biggest acquisitions of AEW All Out 2021 was Ruby Soho, formerly known as Ruby Riott in WWE. The former Riott Squad leader came out as the Joker card entry in the Women's Casino Battle Royale, eliminating Thunder Rosa last to earn a shot at the AEW Women's World Championship.
Britt Baker and Ruby Soho are a clash of styles and characters. Baker has been known for her cocky demeanor and oozing arrogance since winning the Women's World Championship, which could be seen in spades at AEW All Out 2021.
Ruby Soho is an alternative star that uses punk rock to stand out hugely and had one of the biggest moments of her career at the pay-per-view.
The two women have the potential to produce one of the most anticipated AEW Women's World Championship matches since the inception of the promotion. Soho has always been underrated during her WWE run and will finally spotlight her against one of the biggest stars in All Elite Wrestling.
#2 Adam Cole vs. Jungle Boy - AEW All Out 2021
The end of AEW All Out 2021 will be talked about for years to come. After just having his final WWE match at NXT TakeOver 36 against Kyle O'Reilly, Adam Cole made his debut in All Elite Wrestling following Kenny Omega's successful defense of the AEW World Championship over Christian Cage.
Adam Cole turned down a lucrative deal with WWE and creative plans for the main roster requested by Vince McMahon to jump ship and join Tony Khan's promotion at AEW All Out 2021.
The longest-reigning NXT Champion in history could have stood on his own, but he immediately joined back up with the most dominant group in All Elite Wrestling, The Elite.
To mark his arrival in AEW, Adam Cole delivered a superkick to Jungle Boy at AEW All Out 2021. This could be the start of a tremendous rivalry between these two men.
The Jurassic Express member is having a big year in 2021 with his win in the Casino Battle Royale at Double Or Nothing 2021 and his breakthrough performance against Kenny Omega in June.
Adam Cole is the kind of generational talent that totally elevates the entire AEW roster. Placing him in a feud against Jungle Boy will only further the development of the young star and help his growth.
These two men could craft a fantastic bout that would be a guaranteed showstealer. If not for the other debut and the feud it sets up, this would have been the best one coming out of AEW All Out 2021.
#1 Bryan Danielson vs. Kenny Omega - AEW All Out 2021
Heading into AEW All Out 2021, it was heavily rumored that the pay-per-view would mark the AEW debut of Bryan Danielson, formerly known as Daniel Bryan, in WWE.
It has been quite an interesting year for the former WWE Champion. He was in the main event of WrestleMania 37 against Universal Champion Roman Reigns and Edge in a Triple Threat Match, but something was missing.
In multiple interviews following the Show of Shows, Danielson admitted that he felt empty in the big moment at WrestleMania 37. There was a feeling of unfulfillment that Bryan wasn't sure of. After AEW All Out 2021, Bryan Danielson said that he loved WWE but needed new challenges.
This all set the stage for his huge arrival at the end of AEW All Out 2021. Following The Elite stable standing tall after reuniting with Adam Cole, Bryan Danielson made his AEW debut with a massive pop from the Chicago crowd at the NOW Arena.
It was truly a ground-breaking moment that made it feel like the entire landscape had completely changed in AEW and pro wrestling in general.
Bryan Danielson quickly made his allegiance known in those final moments of AEW All Out 2021. He stood next to Christian Cage and Jurassic Express opposite The Elite's Kenny Omega, Adam Cole, and The Young Bucks. Bryan laid in Yes Kicks and hit the running knee to Nick Jackson for the babyfaces to stand tall at AEW All Out.
This magical encounter with The Elite could foreshadow a huge dream match that is years in the making. Bryan Danielson has been known as "The Best In The World" even before his days in WWE, while Kenny Omega has earned that mantle and stands as the AEW World Champion. If Bryan wants to prove himself as truly elite, there is only one man for him to face.
A clash between Kenny Omega and Bryan Danielson for the AEW World Championship is the stuff of legends and should be a high profile bout that headlines a pay-per-view.
Fans will surely see Danielson and his new allies go against The Elite, but the money is against Omega. That's why Bryan Danielson vs. Kenny Omega is the biggest feud to emerge from AEW All Out 2021.
