Two more matches have been announced for AEW All Out tomorrow night including the in-ring return of ‘The American Dragon’ Bryan Danielson.
Following the shock news that Tony Khan had fired CM Punk, all eyes turned to AEW Collision.
With the show set to air live from Punk’s hometown of Chicago, social media braced itself for what was sure to be a must watch show.
The show kicked off with Tony Khan addressing his decision to fire CM Punk revealing that ‘The Second City Saint’ left him “fearing for his life” during AEW All In.
Bryan Danielson Set For In Ring Return At AEW All out.
Ricky Starks would then take to the ring to challenge Ricky Steamboat to a Strap Match at AEW All Out.
Steamboat would agree to a match between Starks and “The Dragon” at All Out, taking things “old school” with a contract for Stark’s to sign.
Starks would arrogantly sign the contract without reviewing the details only to realise the contract said “The Dragon” but didn’t say which Dragon.
Looks like Ricky Starks should've read the fine print!

Steamboat would reveal that at AEW All Out on September 3rd it would be ‘Absolute’ Ricky Starks vs ‘The American Dragon’ Bryan Danielson.
This will be Danielson’s first match since fracturing his forearm during his Forbidden Door clash with Kazuchika Okada back in June.
Starks had previously been set to take on CM Punk in the main event of All Out prior to his termination from AEW.
Dennis Rodman Set To Appear At AEW All Out.
Later on in the show Dennis Rodman would make his AEW debut only to be interrupted by Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett would recall his history with Rodman in WCW before offering ‘The Worm’ a spot in his faction.
Rodman would reject the offer, laying out Sonjay Dutt before Jarrett, Singh and Lethal began to circle the ring in an attempt to take out the NBA legend.
The Acclaimed and Daddy Ass, Billy Gunn, would make the save before revealing that AEW All Out on September 3rd it will be The Acclaimed (w/ Dennis Rodman) vs Jeff Jarrett, Santam Singh and Jay Lethal (w/ Karen Jarrett and Sonjay Dutt) for the AEW Trios Championship.
This will be the first involvement for Rodman in a wrestling match since iGW’s Rodman Down Under event in 2000 when he took on Curt Hennig in the shows main event.
At the event itself, Danielson made reference to Bray Wyatt, who was his last opponent in a strap match and would also credit Starks for his performance.
