This new potential match is a singles match of Darby Allin vs. Jon Moxley.

This new potential match was setup over recent months shows over the bad blood issues between Allin and Moxley & Death Riders. During tonight’s show, a video aired featuring Allin talking about his recent climb of Mount Everest and how it got him to thinking about his revenge against Moxley and the Death Riders. Allin stated after everything they tried to take away from AEW, he promises to take everything away from Moxley at All Out. During his promo, Allin was seen standing in front of a wall with the words “All Out” written in his blood.

In a follow-up segment, Moxley defeated Daniel Garcia in a singles match leading to the Death Riders getting in the ring and Moxley whispering something to Wheeler Yuta before leaving. Yuta grabbed a microphone and stated that Moxley’s answer to Allin’s challenge was no.

HOOK Makes Surprise Return at Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite Show

Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show also featured HOOK making his surprise in-person return.

During the show, Wheeler Yuta was seen still in the ring and gave a promo saying he was not leaving since he still has plenty left to say. After some words about living in this city and the crowd’s foul words chants towards him, Yuta talked about how the fans have done nothing for the likes of Will Ospreay, Chuck Taylor, and Bryan Danielson and boasted about being the one to slay the dragon Danielson. This led to the lights turning out and the HOOK signal being shown and music playing as HOOK came out to the ring making his surprise return.
