AEW All Out: September 5th, 2021 is going to be a massive event. If not because of anything else, but definitely for CM Punk challenging Darby Allin.

This is the first time Punk will work a PPV after staying away from the wrestling industry for years. Moreover, Allin is the first pro-wrestler he challenged after making his AEW debut at AEW Rampage. Now, all of Chicago is waiting to see what happens at All Out!

However, Darby Allin has clarified his stance on the match. He doesn’t care if Chicago cheers for him or Punk. This time, he’s in the match for himself. He’s in the match to show the fans who he is and what he’s become, and how he’s capable of working the ring without having to take guidance from CM Punk.
