2021 AEW All Out Predictions, Maps, Matches, Start Time, PPV Preview, CM Punk Return, Location, Date

Two years ago, AEW debuted as a campaign with All Out pay-per-view. On Sunday night, All Out returns for the third time and offers CM Punk a return in one of the greatest moments in promotional history.

Punk meets Darby Allin in Punk’s first match in more than seven years. It’s just one of many huge matches on the map with nine matches. Four championships will be on the field, including Kenny Omega defending the AEW Championship against Christian Cage and The Young Bucks defending the AEW roof team’s titles in a steel cage match with the Lucha Brothers.

Let’s look at how we think All Out will play this Sunday at. 20.00 ET (19.00 Buy-In-show) from Now Arena in the suburbs of Chicago.

2021 AEW All Out Predictions

AEW World Championship - Kenny Omega (c) vs. Christian Cage

Cage already won a victory over Omega to land the Impact Championship. It would make little sense for him to get another win and take another title. It would make even less sense for Omega’s championship time to fall to Cage, who was not picked to be AEW’s top champion. The Omega championship story is likely to end in a loss for Adam “Hangman” Page, not Cage. That said, if the Impact title fight on Dynamite was an indication, fans have a treat when Omega and Cage go for it again Sunday night. Select: Kenny Omega retains the title

CM Punk vs. Darby Allin

Fans have been waiting seven years to see CM Punk return to the ring. One of the elite wrestlers of his generation with his skills both in the ring and on the microphone, Punk’s return would always be the biggest thing on whatever card he was on. In Allin, Punk has the perfect comeback opponent. Allin is a spectacular young talent whose style should fit well with Punk, while not pushing him into an uncomfortable place stylistically. Punk needs to win here. In front of his hometown crowd, in his comeback fight, that’s the only thing that makes sense. Select: CM Punk wins

Chris Jericho and MJF

Jericho’s career is at stake in this match, which generally gives a sense of how things are going to play out. There is no indication that Jericho is actually ready to hang the boots all the way up, nor does it appear that the crowd is ready to stop singing “Judas” during Jericho’s ring walk. MJF has been well placed as a top heel and has had Jericho’s number in the better part of a year, but pro wrestling conventions say Jericho should have a win back at some point, and the chase to get to this match put him on to do so. Select: Chris Jericho wins

AEW Women’s Championship - Dr. Britt Baker, DMD (c) vs. Krist Statlander

Statlander is a fine title challenger and a good talent. It has been nice to see AEW’s women’s division evolve more and more in recent months. Still, Baker is the first real star AEW has developed on the women’s side and is a solid champion. It seems unlikely that Baker is going to lose his belt here, even against a cable and a credible challenger. Select: Dr. Britt Baker retains the title

AEW Tag Team Championship - The Young Bucks (c) vs.Lucha Brothers (Steel Cage Match)

It’s hard to imagine that this is not a show-stealing match. We’ve seen these teams tear it up before, and adding a steel cage to the mix should give some fun new twists to the already successful mix. Even though it feels like the Bucks should drop the titles to Jurassic Express — and have the entire The Elite available to mingle despite the cage — it still looks like at least one title should change hands at the big pay-per-view -event. Select: Lucha Brothers wins the titles

AEW TNT Championship - Miro (c) against Eddie Kingston

One of the best things that hpen in AEW has been that Kingston finally came to shine on a big stage. It never came to hang in there, but AEW is a place that allows one as universally respected as Kingston to thrive. As great as it would be to see him get a race as champion, it does not likely come against Miro, who is still pretty early on in what numbers there should be a long race with the TNT championship. Miro will be pushed here before he manages to finish Kingston. Select: Miro retains the title

Jon Moxley and Satoshi Kojima

We are used to seeing Moxley in major programs heading toward major events. But who is going to complain about Moxley against Kojima even without a story? This is going to be bad and ugly and lots of fun while it lasts. It does not help AEW well to get Kojima to come in for a one-off match and beat one of their top stars, so the result here feels obvious. That said, it will be excellent while it lasts. Select: Jon Moxley wins

Paul Wight against QT Marshall

Is there anybody really do not care which horses here? QT Marshall was mean to Tony Schiavone, and Wight came to Schiavone’s aid. Dynamite served as an opportunity to try to stack the tire against Wight with Billy Gunn and Gunn Club turning on Wight and attacking his surgically repaired hip with a chair. Still, this should be short and to the point where Wight overcomes some disruption for a chokeslam and a feel-good victory. Select: Paul Wight wins

21-woman Casino Battle Royal

We know that AEW loves a great debut at their pay-per-view events. With Ruby Soho - formerly Ruby Riott in - on her way to AEW, it makes sense for her to debut in battle royal and pick up the win. A future title shot is at stake and Baker will need a convincing new challenger. There are not many more compelling options than Soho. Select: Ruby Soho wins
