Spoilers: First Match Set For AEW All Out 2023

We are six weeks away from AEW All out in Chicago on September 3, and All Elite Wrestling have wasted no time in confirming the first match for the event, making a match official on the July 21 edition of AEW Rampage - taped on July 19.

Rampage was a special Royal Rampage edition, with the eponymous battle royal opening the show. 20 men battled for a shot at the TNT Championship, but it was Darby Allin who emerged victorious after finally eliminating Swerve Strickland, setting up a title match with Luchasaurus at All Out.

Darby is a two-time former TNT Champion, and is seen by many as the greatest champion in the title’s lineage, with Allin’s two reigns with the strap clocking in at 214 days - the longest combined reign in TNT Championship history.

Whilst this is the first match confirmed for All Out, AEW have just a small speedbump ahead of the fifth annual Chicago spectacular, with All In set for London’s Wembley Stadium on August 27. So far no matches have been confirmed for August 27.
