AEW’s top storylines continue to be dominated by MJF and Adam Cole. Following the success of All In, AEW is eager to maintain the momentum with All Out 2023, taking place at the United Center in Chicago. However, controversy surrounds Jack Perry and CM Punk, who was fired by AEW after a backstage incident at All In. Despite breaking wrestling records, AEW has struggled to generate interest in the upcoming pay-per-view. With Punk’s expected match off the card and last-minute changes on AEW Dynamite, All Out 2023 feels like a C-level show. The absence of a world title match, two random ROH title matches, and an overall uncertainty in the lineup make it difficult for AEW to replicate the impact of previous All Out events. Nevertheless, it is not an impossible task. Here are five smart booking moves that AEW must consider for All Out 2023:
1. Miro’s Victory: Miro, who has been absent from AEW for over a year, finds himself in the middle of the Punk drama. AEW must give him a significant push and a high-profile win against Powerhouse Hobbs at All Out to solidify him as a potential main event star on Collision.
2. Darby Allin’s Title Win: It is time for Luchasaurus and Christian Cage to move on from the AEW TNT Championship. Darby Allin, a former three-time champion, is a reliable, popular babyface who deserves to hold the title once again. With the potential arrival of Edge in AEW, Allin’s championship win would make for an exciting storyline.
3. Orange Cassidy’s Title Loss: Orange Cassidy, the current International Champion, has admitted to being physically worn out. It is in his best interest to let go of the title and focus on his backstage producer role. Jon Moxley, one of AEW’s biggest stars, should dethrone Cassidy and elevate the prestige of the International Championship.
4. Konosuke Takeshita’s Upset: Kenny Omega, known as one of the best in-ring performers in the world, will face Konosuke Takeshita in a potential Match of the Year candidate. This match should serve as a launching pad for Takeshita, who has suffered too many losses. AEW can protect Omega’s legacy by having Don Callis interfere, ensuring Takeshita’s credibility as a potential top star.
5. Adam Cole and MJF’s Slow-Burn Beef Begins: Although Adam Cole did not turn heel on MJF at All In, AEW can ignite their rivalry by introducing friction between them. Cole’s allies, Mike Bennett, Roderick Strong, and Matt Taven, could play a pivotal role in dismantling the friendship. The unpredictability of this storyline has been its strength, and AEW should continue to build towards a title match between the two, planting the seeds for their eventual feud.
By implementing these smart booking moves, AEW can enhance the excitement and success of All Out 2023, ensuring a memorable and impactful event for fans to enjoy.
