AEW All Out has been held in Chicago every year other than 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic prevented the company from traveling. With the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door supershow being held in Chicago on June 26, speculation would make it seem unlikely that the company will head back to The Windy City a few weeks later for All Out.
In an interview with TSN, company president Tony Khan noted that the location is still under discussion and praised Chicago as an “awesome market.” He also stated that there are plenty of appealing options for the host city, and he plans to explore these possibilities.
“We’re going to talk more about that, but I think one thing for sure is that from the beginning, Chicago has been an awesome market for AEW and I’m very excited about doing lots of shows there,” Khan said. “I think All Out is the biggest show we’ve ever done so far before on pay-per-view and it’s another one of our landmark events where we’ve reached our highest highs so far. We’ve got a great history there at the NOW Arena, formerly the Sears Center, in Hoffman Estates near Schaumburg, the northwest suburbs of Chicago. I think we can continue that, potentially, but on the other hand, there’s a lot of places around the world where All Out would be a great show and we’re going to continue exploring options here.”
Khan also spoke about the introduction of AEW Trios titles and said he’s already had belts commissioned; read more about the potential for more titles in AEW at this link.
