Ranking the AEW All Out surprises
1. Adam Cole
The tide-shifting moment wasn’t only due to Bryan Danielson’s debut, but also Adam Cole’s debut that came only moments before Danielson’s. Cole was a heavy topic headed into All-Out but amid rumors that he was a 50/50 chance of staying with WWE, there wasn’t any solid confirmation that he’d be at the show.
I love the wordplay Kenny used in his promo after his match with Christian Cage and when he said one of the few people that could beat him was dead, my heart sank and I knew he was coming.
Everything about this debut was done to perfection. From the facial expressions of disbelief from The Elite to the great superkick that Cole planted Jungleboy with, everything was just excellent. Cole is going to play a really strong part in the Elite’s downfall and it’s gonna lead to some really good story advancement.

Side note, Cole’s new theme was really good as well.
Overall, All Out produced some of the most memorable moments, matches in wrestling history. It’ll go down as one of the best – if not the best – AEW pay-per-view of all time, and possibly even one of the best wrestling shows ever. The company has brought in some major players over the past number of weeks and the direction that AEW is headed seems to be a bright one.
