Well....That was a moment in time!

No, we're not talking about Drake Maverick's return to Raw. We mean AEW's historic All Out 2021 PPV that took place this Sunday night.

Ash & Paul give the low down on the show, discussing the many high points and looking ahead to what the future holds for an AEW going into battle with Adam Cole, Bryan Danielson and CM Punk as well as a whole heap of hot acts.

What next for the best WRESTLING company on the planet?
Who will be showcased in their main event and where do some of their original stars go from here?
Just what is it that makes AEW so, so great for wrestling fans.
What was our highlight of Sunday night?

Thank you to everyone that has supported us with our recent viewing parties and listening to this podcast. It means so much!

With 2021's most exciting wrestling event mere days away, Ash and Paul turn their attention to AEW All Out 2021 with a comprehensive PPV preview.

- Can Darby Allin win? Seriously?
- Who will be AEW's next big star?
- Will we see any surprise debuts?
- Who is AEW's most improved?

With a bit of SmackDown thrown in just to tick that box (Let's be totally honest), the guys go All Out for All Out.

But will you be Out Out for All Out? Don't forget that we will be running viewing parties for All Out on Sunday September 5th 2021 up and down the UK. You can get your tickets HERE.
