Production

Background

In August 2019, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) held a pay-per-view (PPV) event titled All Out. The event was a follow-up to the September 2018 independently produced All In show, an event that lead to the foundation of AEW in January 2019.[1] While AEW President and CEO Tony Khan had stated that there would be a second All Out event, it was not officially announced until the 2020 Double or Nothing PPV where a second All Out show was announced as occurring on September 5, 2020, thus establishing All Out as an annual event for AEW.[2]

Storylines

All Out will feature professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers will portray heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[3] Storylines will be produced on AEW's weekly shows Dynamite and Dark and The Young Bucks' YouTube series Being The Elite.

On the July 29 episode of Dynamite, #1 ranked MJF, who has never been pinned or submitted in singles competition, began a presidential election-style campaign to become the next AEW World Champion and held a "State of the Industry address".[4] He said that it's time for a new guard and that the old guard [Moxley] was failing as a leader to lead by example; and that he would lead AEW for the next 25 years.[5] MJF finished the speech by challenging the AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley, to a title match at All Out. A few days later, it was announced that MJF will face the winner of a title match between Moxley and #5 ranked, Darby Allin, for the title at All Out.[6] On the August 5 episode of Dynamite, despite MJF attacking him with the championship belt during the match, Moxley defeated Allin to retain the championship, meaning that MJF will face Moxley for the title at All Out.[7]
