Dave Meltzer Match Ratings AEW All Out 2024

Dave Meltzer has given his verdict on AEW All Out.

Long before the dust had settled on the event, AEW All Out 2024 had been dubbed the most violent pay-per-view the company had ever produced. And while that violence got fans talking, some observers, including AEW star Mercedes Mone, admitted they had mixed feelings over the brutality on display.

The first shocking moment took place after Bryan Danielson successfully defended his World Title against Jack Perry. In the minutes after the match, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and PAC turned their backs on their former friend, with Moxley trying to suffocate Danielson with a plastic bag.

Then in the main event, Swerve Strickland and Hangman Adam Page went to war with chairs, a cinder block, a staple gun, a hypodermic needle, pieces of burned wood, and more in their Unsanctioned Lights Out Cage Match. When the chaos was all said and done, it was Page who got the win.

Elsewhere, there were wins for MJF, The Young Bucks, and Will Ospreay, while many fans felt the Chicago Street Fight between Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale stole the show.
