What a difference eight days can, and will, make.
Last Sunday, it was the highest of highs for AEW as they packed in 81,000+ into London’s Wembley Stadium for All In which was, by all accounts, a major win for the company and for the business in general for those willing to move past their AEW hatred.
But the focus on that mega-event has resulted in Sunday’s All Out — AEW’s 21st-ever domestic PPV — feeling like the most skippable one. Considering the prestige this show has had in past years, it’s a major turn for the company.
On this week’s Josh Nason’s Punch-Out, myself and AEW preview specialist Mike DellaCamera look at this eight-day stretch between shows and try to parse out how this happened and what to make of the lineup for All Out (prior to anything new revealed on Collision.)
Was All In just too much of a focus? Why is CM Punk not to fully blame? Is Tony Khan fine with taking a mulligan on Sunday considering the success of All In? All that and more is discussed.
