All Out (2023)
2023 All Elite Wrestling pay-per-view event
The 2023 All Out was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). It was the fifth annual All Out and took place during Labor Day weekend on September 3, 2023, at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, breaking its tradition of All Out taking place at the Now Arena, located in the Chicago metro area—not including the 2020 event due to the COVID-19 pandemic that year.
Thirteen matches were contested at the event, including three on the Zero Hour pre-show. In the main event, Jon Moxley defeated Orange Cassidy to win the AEW International Championship. In other prominent matches, Konosuke Takeshita defeated Kenny Omega, Luchasaurus defeated Darby Allin to retain the AEW TNT Championship, and Bryan Danielson defeated Ricky Starks in a No Disqualification Strap match. All Out was also notable for an appearance by C.J. Perry (formerly known as Lana in WWE) in what was her first professional wrestling appearance since 2021. This was also the first All Out in which the AEW World Championship was not defended, although the reigning champion, MJF, did perform on the event.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “All Out (2023)”, the useful work is to connect “2023 All Elite Wrestling pay-per-view event” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
