That’s how you put things on top. AEW has not been around all that long but they have developed quite the reputation in such a short amount of time. One of their strong suits is their big pay per view events, which have been critical successes every single time so far. They do not take place all that often, allowing time to build things up. That will be the case again next time with a major main event.
One of the best things about AEW’s major events is how long they spend setting them up. That can create some special atmospheres for them as you know that you are going to be getting something important. Before AEW officially came into existence, there was a major show called All In, which has since evolved into All Out. The next edition is coming up in less than a month and the main event is officially set.
AEW has announced that Maxwell Jacob Friedman will be challenging Jon Moxley for the AEW World Title in the main event of All Out on September 5. This comes after Friedman officially announced his candidacy to challenge Moxley for the title last week on Dynamite. Moxley did not acknowledge Friedman during the show. Friedman has yet to lose a singles match in AEW.

This got AEW’s attention. Check out Freidman’s excellent challenge for the title:
Opinion: This is about the only way that AEW could go and that is a good thing for everyone involved. Friedman has been built up as a great challenger for months now and it makes sense to give him the World Title shot. Moxley has been champion for over five months now and I am not sure how much longer he can hold the title. Friedman would seem primed to win the title, if nothing else just for the sake of hearing his victory speech.
What do you think of the match? How do you see it going? Let us know in the comments below.
