| AEW All Out 2023 Spoilers |
AEW TNT Championship Match: Luchasaurus (c) vs. Darby Allin
Depending on the outcome of the coffin match at All In, this could go either way. As it stands at this moment, I think Darby Allin and Sting will win the coffin match, but Allin will lose this title match to keep the belt on "Luchasaurus" (aka, on Christian Cage) as a result.
PREDICTION: Luchasaurus wins.
Miro vs. Powerhouse Hobbs
This just feels meh to me. I've honestly got nothing to say about it. Nothing separates it, in my mind, from being a match that could just be on Dynamite, Collision or Rampage. It's not special, despite how I enjoy both performers.
PREDICTION: Miro wins.
AEW TBS Championship Match: Kris Statlander (c) vs. Ruby Soho
I'd argue this should be on the All In card instead, as here, it really doesn't mean anything but to take up more time. All Out isn't looking too hot and this doesn't help change my perception of it whatsoever. As far as the winner goes, it could go either way and I wouldn't be shocked. I'll just go with Ruby Soho winning for a blind pick.
PREDICTION: Ruby Soho wins.
AEW International Championship Match: Orange Cassidy (c) or Jon Moxley
Given this card, this should main event. It's going to be the best match. Orange Cassidy has been one of my top top favorites in AEW from the start and his International Championship reign has been arguably the best title reign anyone's had for any belt in this company. I keep predicting it is going to end and I keep being wrong, but once again, I'm going to say the title is changing hands here. Moxley likes to wrestle all over the place and having this title will allow him to utilize that in other promotions, too.
Kenny Omega vs. Konosuke Takeshita (with Don Callis)
If they hadn't interacted with each other whatsoever until now, I'd be more excited. Yes, this is a singles match that has more more heat to it than some other parts of this, and yes, it will be a good match, but I can't say I'm jumping out of my seat excited and feeling like this is can't-miss once in a lifetime type material like others are hyped about it.
ROH World Television Championship Match: Samoa Joe (c) vs. Shane Taylor
This is the best they could come up with? I haven't been following ROH, but this should only be at an ROH taping or an ROH pay-per-view. Shane Taylor just isn't a big enough deal to justify having him on this card against Samoa Joe. They should've figured something else out.
Eddie Kingston and Katsuyori Shibata vs. Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta)
This is, overall, pretty lazy. It's the same continuation of the same people feuding with Shibata just tossed in there to try to spice it up that WWE is guilty of. If you're going to complain about that happening with The Judgment Day and The Bloodline and all, you have to give the same criticism to Blackpool Combat Club. Depending on what they want to do for repercussions with these two ROH champions, that should dictate the end of the match. I could see it going either way. Maybe Kingston gets another shot at Claudio. Maybe Yuta gets another shot at Shibata. Flip a coin. BCC lost at All In and Kingston beat Yuta on Dynamite, so I guess maybe BCC wins this? Or...with Grand Slam coming up, is that when Kingston wins the ROH title from Claudio?
ROH World Tag Team Championship Match: Better Than You Bay Bay (Adam Cole and MJF) (c) vs. The Dark Order (Alex Reynolds and John Silver)
Look. Dark Order is fun. Reynolds and Silver are talented. But again, this is the best you could come up with? They aren't remotely big enough names to help save this card. I could see the titles changing hands and these guys filling the ROH champions role, but that's because ROH is basically NXT compared to Dynamite and Collision being Raw and SmackDown. I'm still going to predict MJF and Cole retain at the moment, though, as just because I can see the titles changing hands doesn't mean that they necessarily will and that Tony Khan will want to end this Cole and MJF buddy storyline right here.
Eight-Man Tag Team Match: Bullet Club Gold (Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, Jay White, and Juice Robinson) vs. FTR (Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood) and The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson)
Proof that All In and All Out shouldn't be one week apart. Can FTR and The Young Bucks coexist??
Strap Match: Ricky Starks vs. Bryan Danielson
Bryan Danielson is the replacement, eh? Curious why he was able to do this, but he couldn't be cleared to compete for All In just a few days prior. That's strange. Also, where does this come into play with the BCC? Probably not in the slightest bit and Tony Khan is just like "Hey, look, it was supposed to be CM Punk but we're putting Danielson in there cause it'll deliver and...just go with it, please." I can't imagine this was the plan all along. Let's see what else we find out about this in the future.
PREDICTION: Bryan Danielson wins.
Zero Hour Matches
- I have no idea who is in the Over Budget Charity Battle Royal, but as it's for a charity donation that was already settled in advance, naturally, it doesn't matter. It's not a title shot that you can determine a challenger for. Watch Dennis Rodman win it.
- The Acclaimed will retain the trios titles over Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal and Satnam Singh.
- Flip a coin on the women's trios match. It doesn't matter. Let's go Athena, Diamante and Mercedes Martinez over Hikaru Shida, Skye Blue and Willow Nightingale I guess? It landed tails.
