#2 Worst: The underwhelming match between Chris Jericho and MJF
Tonight at AEW All Out, Chris Jericho defeated MJF in the final battle of their long-running rivalry this year. Although Le Champion saved his professional career tonight, the entire match didn't pan out the way everyone anticipated.
Both men delivered a slow-paced clash that featured an absurd finish. MJF initially pinned Chris Jericho after hitting him with the Judas Effect, though referee Aubrey Edwards couldn't see Jericho's foot at the top. The aftermath saw an outside official make Justin Roberts restart the match.
The entire angle felt similar to what WWE used to have followed from back in the day. Nevertheless, the match ended with Chris Jericho locking MJF in the Walls of Jericho's submission move, thus prompting him to tap out.
It was obvious that Jericho wouldn't be losing the match tonight. However, the company could have planned a better finish out there by involving multiple outside interferences. In fact, AEW star Wardlow tried to interject but was soon taken out by Jake Hager. The feud between Chris Jericho and Mr. Friedman has concluded.
#1 Best/Worst: The entire placement of match card on AEW All Out
Despite AEW All Out being deemed a successful pay-per-view, some of the matches on the card felt disorganized.
The match between Lucha Brothers and The Young Bucks should have been the co-main event of the show. The stakes were at their highest high for that match, and placing their bout near the end of the show might have raised the bar for the tag team division.
The same could be said for the match between CM Punk and Darby Allin, which also delivered on the hype. Given that it was The Straight Edge Superstars' first match, the company could have placed it as the co-main event instead of the Paul Wight-QT Marshall match.
Regardless, fans will be pretty happy as AEW All Out was indeed an eventful show, possibly surpassing every other event that was produced by other wrestling promotions, including WWE.
