    AEW is set to host its annual All Out pay-per-view tonight from Chicago. The show will take place at the famous NOW Arena, and the company has built a stacked card for it. Interestingly, WWE will be presenting its Worlds Collide show from the Allstate Arena in Chicago as well.

    Worlds Collide will take place in the same city as All Out and will have a start time the same as the AEW pay-per-view. However, it will not be broadcast live. It will air on September 30th, next week, on Wednesday, and will be a head-to-head battle with AEW’s Dynamite. As per reports, WWE wanted to hurt All Out’s ticket sales by booking Worlds Collide in the same city on the same day.

    However, All Out has done very well with ticket sales. It has surpassed Worlds Collide with an incredible margin. According to Fightful Select, WWE has admitted that All Elite Wrestling has done a better job with ticket sales in Chicago this weekend. However, the Stamford-based promotion is satisfied with Worlds Collide’s performance as well.

    The report further revealed that the decision not to air Worlds Collide live was taken in the first few weeks of August. With that said, it will be interesting to see what both pro-wrestling promotions have prepared for this one-of-a-kind battle in the professional wrestling industry.

    All Out is a flagship show of All Elite Wrestling. The company features the aftermath of All In at this event every year. This year is no different, as Will Ospreay, who won his AEW World Championship at All In last month, will defend his title against Jon Moxley in the main event for the pay-per-view.

    Cage and Cope will also be defending their World Tag Team Championships in a three-way ladder match against FTR and Young Bucks. Thekla and Willow Nightingale will also be in action in a singles match to determine the No. 1 contender for Mercedes Mone’s Women’s World Championship.

    Moreover, Kazuchika Okada will put his International Championship on the line against Tommaso Ciampa. Andrade and PAC will also battle for the National Championship in a much-awaited clash. Darby Allin and Steven Borden will team up to take on Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight to take the hype for the pay-per-view to the next level.
