A Brutal Main Event: Hangman Page vs. Swerve Strickland
Dave Simon and Ben Simon agreed that the AEW All Out 2024 main event between Hangman Page and Swerve Strickland stole the show with its unparalleled violence and drama. As Dave Simon put it, “The main event was violent, wild, a little grotesque… Jim Ross was a little offended by all the action.” The match featured a series of brutal spots with everyone on the edge of their seats, from Hangman injecting Swerve with a mysterious needle to using staple guns and cinder blocks.
Ben Simon added, “It was a lights-out match where anything goes, and both men went above and beyond to deliver a spectacle that will be remembered for a long time.” The chaotic nature of the match, including a powerbomb off the top rope and an attack with a needle, left fans wondering what would come next. The consensus among the hosts was that this match was their pick for Match of the Night, with Dave Simon rating it as his favourite: “It would be difficult for me not to call that match of the night, given the drama, the action, the violence, and what they both gave of their bodies.” It was reported that both wrestlers will take some time off from the squared circle to “rest their wounds” after this brutal encounter.
Kris Statlander vs. Willow Nightingale: Chicago Street Fight
While the AEW All Out 2024 main event took center stage, the Chicago Street Fight between Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale also earned high praise from the hosts. Ben Simon even considered it his Match of the Night, saying, “That match had no business being as good as it was… they went bananas, and it might be my match of the night.”
The Street Fight was filled with high-risk maneuvers and violent spots, from thumbtacks to light tubes, keeping the audience engaged. As Dave Simon recounted, “Statlander did the splits onto thumbtacks… she had thumbtacks in her ass and who knows where else.” The sheer intensity of this match and the willingness of both competitors to push the envelope made it another highlight of the night.
MJF vs. Daniel Garcia: A Strong Opener
The event kicked off with a thrilling encounter between MJF and Daniel Garcia. Dave Simon noted, “MJF and Daniel Garcia opened the show with a fantastic match.” However, the match wasn’t without controversy, as Dave Simon humorously mentioned, “MJF may have pooped himself… We’ve got to talk about that.” The match showcased both wrestlers’ technical skills and featured several close calls and dramatic moments that set the tone for the rest of the night. Garcia was supposed to be the winner of this match, however, his uncertain AEW contract status tipped it towards the champ.
Daniel Garcia gets the last laugh!

The Young Bucks vs. Blackpool Combat Club: Tag Team Action
The AEW World Tag Team Championship match between The Young Bucks and Blackpool Combat Club (Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta) was filled with fast-paced action but didn’t quite reach the heights expected. Ben Simon remarked, “The Young Bucks wrestled Claudio and Wheeler. It didn’t quite hit, but we weren’t expecting it to.” Despite this, the match was crucial in setting up later events in the evening, including the post-match angle involving Bryan Danielson.
Will Ospreay vs. PAC: Championship Clash
One of the most technically sound matches of AEW All Out 2024 was the AEW International Championship bout between Will Ospreay and PAC. Dave Simon described it as “Will Ospreay over Pac was tremendous… could be the match of the night.” Both wrestlers demonstrated their incredible athleticism and in-ring prowess, making it a highlight for many fans.
Kazuchika Okada vs. Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy, and Konosuke Takeshita: Four-Way Frenzy
The AEW Continental Championship was contested in a four-way match featuring Kazuchika Okada, Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy, and Konosuke Takeshita. Dave Simon summarized the match as “okay,” stating, “Okada over Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy, and Konosuke Takeshita in a four-way, which was okay.” While the match had its moments, it was overshadowed by some of the more extreme bouts of the night.
Mercedes Moné vs. Hikaru Shida: TBS Title Match
The TBS Championship match between Mercedes Moné and Hikaru Shida received a mixed reaction. Ben Simon called it a “standard match,” while Dave Simon added, “Mercedes Moné beating Hikaru Shida for the TBS title was okay.” The match was solid but lacked the high drama and intensity of some of the evening’s other contests.
Bryan Danielson vs. Jack Perry: World Title Drama
The AEW World Championship match between Bryan Danielson and Jack Perry was marked by post-match drama that overshadowed the in-ring action. Dave Simon said, “The match didn’t blow me away… it wasn’t my favourite Bryan Danielson match.” The real story came after the bell, with a surprise attack by Jon Moxley and the Blackpool Combat Club turning on Bryan Danielson.
Trios Action: The Acclaimed vs. Iron Savages
AEW All Out 2024 opened with a tag team match featuring The Acclaimed (Anthony Bowens and Max Caster) against Iron Savages. Dave Simon remarked, “The Acclaimed defeated Iron Savages by pinfall… pretty solid opener.” The match was relatively short but delivered a strong start to the evening.
Trios Match: Hologram, Sammy Guevara, and Dustin Rhodes vs. The Premier Athletes
The trio of Hologram, Sammy Guevara, and Dustin Rhodes faced off against The Premier Athletes (Tony Nese, Ari Daivari, and Josh Woods). Ben Simon noted, “They had a solid showing, with Hologram, Guevara, and Rhodes coming out on top.” The match was a fun addition to the card, adding a mix of speed and technical wrestling.
Trios Match: Bang Bang Gang vs. The Dark Order
The Bang Bang Gang (Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn, and Juice Robinson) took on The Dark Order (Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds, and John Silver). Dave Simon commented, “Bang Bang Gang defeated The Dark Order by pinfall… another solid match.” The match had its share of exciting moments and high-flying moves.
Three-Way Trios Match: The Undisputed Kingdom Triumphs
In a three-way trios match, The Undisputed Kingdom (Matt Taven, Mike Bennett, and Roderick Strong) defeated The Beast Mortos, Shane Taylor Promotions, and Action Andretti with Top Flight. Dave Simon summarized, “The Undisputed Kingdom won in a chaotic three-way trios match.” The match featured several near falls and kept the crowd engaged throughout.
Fan Reactions and Ratings

One of the best pay-per-views I’ve seen in a while.” Meanwhile, Alex Tarris had a much lower opinion, rating it a 3 out of 10, which drew some laughs and confusion from the hosts. Dave Simon himself settled on an 8 out of 10, summarizing, “We had some matches that were amazing and some that missed the mark.”
