AEW All Out notes: Daniel Garcia lays out MJF, champions sweep, Mustafa Ali, Costco Guys

Here’s some notes from Saturday’s AEW All Out from Chicago’s NOW Arena:

MJF defeated Daniel Garcia, but paid the price.

In the opening match of the main card, former AEW World Champion MJF defeated Daniel Garcia but paid the price after the match by taking a second rope piledriver that may put him out of action storyline-wise.

Ibou of WrestlePurists stated on Twitter that the original finish to the bout was for Garcia to win clean. However, Garcia has yet to sign an expected new deal with AEW so the decision was made to go with MJF. However, MJF is expected to go film a movie, hence the finish to write him off for a bit.

All of the champions retained their titles.

Every championship defended on the PPV left with the titleholders.

In the night’s co-main event, AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson defeated TNT Champion Jack Perry to retain his title despite interference from the Young Bucks. After the win, Danielson was turned on by his now-former Blackpool Combat Club teammates Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli while Wheeler Yuta looked on in horror, held back by PAC.

In a likely match of the year candidate, AEW International Champion Will Ospreay defended against top contender PAC.

TBS Champion Mercedes Mone defeated Hikaru Shida for the second time this year to retain her title.

AEW Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks successfully defended against 2/3 of the aforementioned reigning AEW Trios Champions Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta.

AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Orange Cassidy and Mark Briscoe in a four-way when Okada pinned Cassidy after hitting the Rainmaker.

According to reports, Mustafa Ali was backstage at the show visiting friends as he is a native to Chicago. The former WWE star and former TNA X-Division Champion also shared the following video on X as he is considering it a “tour stop.” He never appeared on the broadcast, nor was mentioned.

Social media stars The Costco Guys appeared on the pre-show, getting some love from the Iron Savages at ringside before doing an interview with Renee Paquette and RJ City which consisted of a lot of the word “boom” and the father (Big Justice) revealing that he used to be an indie wrestling in the NY/NJ area, teaming with AEW producer and manager Sonjay Dutt.
