#1 AEW All Out 2021
Trending
AEW All Out 2021 had high expectations from many fans and pundits coming into the show. After seven years away from the business, CM Punk returned to professional wrestling at AEW Rampage: The First Dance to officially debut in All Elite Wrestling.
He challenged Darby Allin to a dream match in his hometown of Chicago and was the No.1 draw for the evening.
Punk defeated Allin in a very good contest that showed he was here to stay, but this bout wasn't the only thing that had the fans buzzing heading in. Rumors were rampant about the possibility of major debuts on the show.
Adam Cole debuted and reunited with The Elite after a great main event where Kenny Omega defeated Christian Cage to retain the AEW World Title. The Chicago crowd were on their feet and just coming down from this high when Bryan Danielson debuted as well. It was one of the most shocking endings to a pay-per-view in wrestling history.
Those two arrivals at the end weren't the only ones on the night. Ruby Soho made her debut in the Women's Casino Battle Royale and won by last eliminating Thunder Rosa to earn a shot at the AEW Women's World Championship.
The same title was defended earlier in the show in a marvelous contest with Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. retaining over Kris Statlander.
Miro opened AEW All Out 2021, defeating Eddie Kingston to retain the TNT Championship. It was a heavyweight slugfest and what the fans expected from both men.
Jon Moxley beat NJPW's Satoshi Kojima, but what happened after the match stood out the most. "The King" Minoru Suzuki arrived to confront Moxley and deliver a package piledriver.
All of this would be enough to be the best AEW pay-per-view of 2021, but it also had an all-time classic. The Lucha Brothers defeated the Young Bucks in a bloody and captivating Steel Cage Match to win the AEW World Tag Team Championships.
This was one of the best matches in the history of the promotion. That's why All Out 2021 was the best major show of the year from AEW.
