AEW All Out is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Established in 2019, it is held annually during Labor Day weekend. The inaugural event was a spiritual successor to the September 2018 independently produced All In PPV, which served as a catalyst to the formation of AEW in January 2019. It is considered one of the "Big Four" PPVs for AEW, along with Double or Nothing, Full Gear, and Revolution, the company's four biggest domestic shows produced quarterly.

With the exception of the 2020 event, All Out is held annually in the Chicago metropolitan area. The 2019, 2021, and 2022 events were held at the Now Arena (formerly Sears Centre Arena) in the Chicago suburb of Hoffman Estates, Illinois, the same venue that hosted the inaugural All In, with the 2023 event held at Chicago's United Center. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, that year's All Out, which was originally scheduled for the Now Arena, had to be held at Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida, and it was AEW's first PPV to have a live ticketed audience (with a maximum 15% capacity of venue) after Florida loosened its COVID-19 protocols. The following year in July, AEW returned to live touring and the 2021 event became AEW's first PPV held outside of Florida since the start of the pandemic.

On September 1, 2018, an independent wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event was held called All In, which took place in the Chicago suburb of Hoffman Estates, Illinois at the former Sears Centre Arena—renamed to Now Arena in 2020. The event was organized by members of The Elite and it was a catalyst to the formation of All Elite Wrestling (AEW) on January 1, 2019. [1] The Elite became executive vice presidents of AEW, which scheduled a spiritual successor to All In called All Out, with the inaugural All Out PPV taking place on August 31, 2019, at the same venue as All In. [2] [3] [4] The event was named "All Out" as the "All In" name was owned by Ring of Honor (ROH) at the time and AEW president Tony Khan wanted to avoid a lawsuit—Khan would later purchase ROH in March 2022. [5]

A second All Out was then held on September 5, 2020, establishing the event as an annual Labor Day weekend PPV for the promotion—this second event was originally to be held at the same venue, but was instead held at AEW's home base of Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida, due to the COVID-19 pandemic that began in mid-March that year. [6] In August 2020, AEW began admitting a very limited number of fans to events, thus the 2020 event was AEW's first PPV to have live ticketed fans during the pandemic, though only at 15% of the venue's capacity. [7] AEW resumed live touring in July 2021 and the 2021 event was held on September 5, returning to the inaugural event's venue, thus marking AEW's first PPV to be held outside of Daily's Place since the COVID-19 pandemic began. [8] [9] While All Out had traditionally been held at the Now Arena, the 2023 event moved All Out to Chicago's United Center. [10]

Although Double or Nothing is considered AEW's marquee domestic event, [11] AEW referee Aubrey Edwards referred to All Out as AEW's premier event on an episode of the AEW Unrestricted podcast. [12] AEW President and Chief Executive Officer Tony Khan later referred to All Out as being one of the promotion's "Big Four" PPVs, their four biggest domestic shows of the year produced quarterly, along with Double or Nothing, Full Gear, and Revolution.
