Latest Update On AEW Keeping All Out In Chicago

screenrant.com:

AEW All Out will reportedly be sticking in Chicago this year, despite AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door also happening in the Windy City on June 26. There was some speculation that the company might look to move the pay-per-view for fear of oversaturating the market too quickly, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

If not for pandemic-related restrictions, All Out would have taken place at the same venue for the last three years: the NOW Arena, which was called Sears Centre Arena when AEW first appeared there in August of 2019. That show was the successor to theAll In pay-per-view, which eventually lead to the formation of All Elite Wrestling as fans know it today. All Out at the NOW Arena is about as deep a tradition as a company as young as AEW can have, and a recent report indicates that Tony Khan will be sticking with it in 2022.

In a recent post by Fightful, it was reported that "All Elite Wrestling talent has been told that the plan has not changed for AEW All Out, and the event will remain in the Chicago area." The post continued, "(s)ources that we spoke to did not confirm a specific date for the Labor Day weekend tradition, but did confirm that they were told the NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates was the planned venue."

As Fightful went on to note, this is simply what talent has been told and nothing has been made official by AEW itself. Still, Khan has said recently that he likes the tradition of having All Out take place on Labor Day weekend in or around Chicago. With performers being informed that the show will be sticking around the area for the 2022 edition, the writing seems to be on the wall for the pay-per-view to take place at NOW Arena.
