All Out 2025 brought shocking debuts, surprise returns, and nonstop chaos to Toronto, and we are breaking it all down. From Beth Copeland’s debut alongside Christian and Adam Copeland to Eddie Kingston’s emotional return after 16 months, this card was stacked with unforgettable moments. In this review we talk about the tailgate brawl that felt like Sunday Night Heat, Garcia showing off a ruthless new side, and Orange Cassidy being announced for Pittsburgh this week. We dive into Statlander finally winning her first AEW Women’s Title, the bloody war of MJF vs Mark, and Okada retaining in a triple threat classic that left us wanting Okada vs Takeshita one on one. We also cover Darby vs Mox and the wild return of PAC, Brodido pulling off one of the most insane ladder matches in AEW history, and Jurassic Express reuniting with Jack Perry and Luchasaurus. Plus the main event where Hangman and Kyle Fletcher tore the house down and proved Fletcher is the future.
