Saturday’s AEW All Out pay-per-view event at NOW Arena in Chicago, IL, was newsworthy because of several matches and angles.
The show had two controversial matches to close out the night. The first was Jon Moxley putting a plastic bag over AEW World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson. In the main event, Hangman Page used a needle/chair shot to the head of Swereve Strickland.
Fightful Select had reported that Mustafa Ali was at the show visiting as he lives in the area. Ali later took to Twitter to share a video of him campaigning as part of his gimmick:

Ali signed with WWE in 2017, where he was used as a mid-card talent despite fans seeing more in him. Ali had requested his release a couple of years ago when Vince McMahon was running creative, but the company denied his request.
He had been working in NXT in recent months before his release, reinventing himself. Following his non-compete clause expiring, he went to TNA, where he became an X-Division Champion. He finished up with the promotion in August.
