Three New Matches & One Updated Match for AEW All Out 2023
Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show in Hoffman Estates, Illinois featured three new matches and one updated match officially announced for the card of All Out 2023, which takes place on September 3rd at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
In regards to the new matches, the first new match announced was an 8-Man Tag Team match of The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) & FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood) vs. Bullet Club Gold (Jay White, Juice Robinson, & The Gunns (Austin & Colten Gunn)).
This match was setup following a backstage locker room segment that had been taped at All In involving the Young Bucks discussing their loss to FTR at the event. FTR entered the room and interrupted asking why the Young Bucks did not shake their hands after their match. The Young Bucks responded that it was just due to them feeling frustrated that they lost since All In was something they had created. Right before the Young Bucks were able to shake FTR’s hands to make amended, Bullet Club Gold interrupted and mocked the Young Bucks for being in the winner’s locker room since they lost at All In. After some back-and-forth banter, White issued a challenge to the Young Bucks and FTR to an 8-Man Tag Team match. Wheeler responded one upping the challenge by saying that it should take place at All Out 2023. Following the segment, AEW commentator Excalibur confirmed that this match was made official for the event.
It's official!

The second new match announced was a ROH World Tag Team Championship match of Winner of #1 Contender Tag Team Battle Royal match vs. MJF & Adam Cole (c).
This match was setup following a taped backstage promo involving MJF and Adam Cole. While MJF was resting in the locker room after his match with Cole at All In for the AEW World title, Cole entered but before he could talk, MJF interrupted him to tell him that he was upset that Cole made him wrestle more than he’s had to in quite a while and for hurting his neck several times in their match. MJF also revealed that Tony Khan informed him that they will be putting their ROH Tag Team titles on the line against the winner of a #1 Contender Battle Royal match at this Friday’s Rampage show. After some more talk, MJF stated that he needs a week off so he’s going to Paris to eat a baguette and bang some rats before he comes back to hit a Kangaroo Kick and double clothesline to retain their ROH Tag Titles.
A Battle Royal on Rampage to decide who will face Adam Cole & MJF for the #ROH World Tag Team Titles at #AEWAllOut and then a tournament where the winner will be the number one contender for the #AEW World Title??@The_MJF needs that week off.
