AEW Set To Make History With WWE At All Out; First Time In 38 Years

WWE and AEW continue to grapple as two of the top brands of the sport at present. The Tony Khan-led promotion will run its major upcoming international event on the same day as the Stamford-based company's impending PLE, possibly marking a historic programming battle last waged almost 38 years ago.

Close to the end of May, it was reported that All Elite Wrestling would stage this year's edition of its yearly pay-per-view, All Out, at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Canada. With All In : Texas in the rear view mirror and now in the aftermath of Forbidden Door 2025, Tony Khan has been developing a number of angles and storylines over the past several weeks which are meant to culminate at this weekend's event in Canada.

However, around August rumors began floating of WWE hosting a PLE on same day as All Out : Toronto, now confirmed to be Wrestlepalooza. The sports entertainment juggernaut appears to be consistent in its ongoing counterprogramming against AEW. The Jacksonville-based company's upcoming PPV was originally meant to go head-to-head with WWE's September 20 Premium Live Event, but TK announced jointly with Warner Bros. Discovery earlier this month that their show would be moved to an earlier afternoon slot.

On a recent edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer discussed how All Out 2025 and WWE Wrestlepalooza will mark the first time since 1987 that two major companies will be putting on pay-per-view shows on the same day. The allusion could be referencing the 1987 iteration of WWE's Survivor Series being held on the same day as Jim Crockett Promotions' Starrcade '87: Chi-Town Heat, on November 26.
