One big thing: Bryan Danielson defends AEW World Title against Jack Perry
“The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson puts his newly-won AEW World Championship on the line against TNT Champion Jack Perry in the main event of All Out 2024.
• This is Danielson’s first title defense since winning the belt at All In: London 2024.
• Perry earned this shot by pinning Danielson in the Anarchy in the Arena match at Double or Nothing 2024.
• Danielson has vowed to retire when he loses the World Title, raising the stakes significantly.
Why it matters:
This match pits the veteran champion against the young upstart in a clash of styles and generations. A Perry victory would make him the first dual singles champion in AEW history and end Danielson’s career.

• Lights Out matches are unsanctioned and do not count on official records.
• Page recently burned down Strickland’s childhood home, escalating tensions to new heights.
