Updated 2024 AEW All Out Card and Predictions for Match Order

Mike Chiari

Just two weeks after rocking Wembley Stadium in London for All In, the stars of AEW will be back at it with All Out in Chicago on Saturday.

All In was widely regarded as one of AEW's top pay-per-views of the year and possibly in company history, so All Out has a tough act to follow.

Even so, All Out has a chance to be great in its own right and should be able to build upon what occurred at All In thanks to a strong card from top to bottom that will feature several matches with major implications, including championships.

Here is everything you need to know about All Out, including a rundown of the entire card and predictions for how the match order will play out.

Where: Now Arena in Hoffman Estate, Illinois

When: Saturday, Sept. 7 at 8 p.m. ET (Pre-Show starts at 7 p.m. ET)

AEW All Out 2024 Card and Projected Match Order

Top AEW All Out 2024 Matches to Watch

Swerve Strickland vs. "Hangman" Adam Page

One of the most personal rivalries in AEW history will reach the next level at All Out when former AEW world champions Swerve Strickland and "Hangman" Adam Page meet inside a steel cage.

Swerve and Page had a series of matches against each other in late 2023 and early 2024 with Strickland coming out on top each time. They also faced each other in a three-way match for the AEW world title that also included Samoa Joe, and Joe's win mounted frustration to the point that Hangman disappeared from AEW programming for a few months.

During Page's absence, Swerve beat Joe for the AEW World Championship, and when Page eventually returned to compete in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, he made taking the title from Swerve his stated goal.

Page lost in the tournament final to Bryan Danielson and later lost out on a world title shot by losing the Casino Gauntlet at All In, which seemingly caused him to snap and interfere in the Swerve vs. Danielson main event at All In.

Danielson went on to beat Strickland for the world title, but Page wasn't done there, as he burned down the childhood home that Strickland used money from his new AEW contract to purchase on the final episode of Dynamite before All Out.

That set the stage for a heated grudge match between Swerve and Hangman at All Out that could settle the score once and for all.

Mercedes Moné vs. Hikaru Shida

In what has become a trend during his brief AEW career thus far, Mercedes Moné is set for another huge pay-per-view match at All Out.

Just two weeks ago, Mercedes successfully defended the TBS Championship against Britt Baker at All In, and now she will have to do so again when she faces off with Hikaru Shida.

Shida is one of the most decorated women in AEW history with three AEW Women's World Championship reigns to her credit, but the TBS title is the one major accolade that has eluded her so far.

Prior to her win over Baker at All In, Moné successfully defended the TBS title against Shida on the Aug. 14 episode of Dynamite. While Shida lost and most figured she had no chance to win in the first place, she turned in a great performance.

It would be fair to say that the match against Baker was Mercedes' worst since joining AEW, and given that in-ring work has long been the foundation of The CEO's career, it makes sense for AEW to give her the opportunity to bounce back in a big way.

It is already apparent that Mercedes and Shida have in-ring chemistry, and Shida has a long history of great AEW matches to her credit.

The expectation is that Mercedes will win again, but more importantly, she should get back on track from a match quality perspective.

Bryan Danielson vs. Jack Perry

At All Out, Bryan Danielson will put the AEW World Championship on the line against Jack Perry, as well as his career as a full-time wrestler.

Danielson finally broke through and won his first world title in AEW at All In, beating Swerve Strickland in a classic main event as his wife children watched from the front row.

Going into All In, Danielson had said he would retire if he didn't win, and after All In, he noted that he will only continue wrestling on a full-time basis for as long as he is world champion.

While Danielson has said many times that he still plans to wrestle occasionally after retiring from full-time work, essentially every match he has will feel like a career-threatening match moving forward.

Perry was an unexpected choice for his All Out opponent, but AEW is pushing Perry hard as one of its top heels, and he figures to have more heat in Chicago than anywhere since he played a role in beloved Chicagoan CM Punk's AEW departure.

Danielson has a penchant for getting the most out of every opponent he faces, and Perry should be no different given than he is a talented in-ring performer in his own right.
