With WWE opting to run Wrestlepalooza directly up against AEW All Out on 20 September, AEW has now made the decision to move All Out to an earlier start time.

Previously, All Out was scheduled for an 8pm ET start time on 20 September, with WWE Wrestlepalooza starting at 8pm ET on that same day. Now, though, AEW has brought All Out forward to 3pm ET / 12pm PT.

AEW All Out 2025 will also be available to order through HBO Max, which is a first, as AEW now brings its PPVs to Max from here on out. While AEW PPVs are usually $49.99, All Out can be purchased on Max for the "exclusive price" of $39.99. However, to buy the PPV through HBO Max, you have to have an existing subscription to Max, which is $9.99 per month.

The previously announced AEW Saturday Tailgate Brawl: All Out will now take place at 2pm ET on 20 September, serving as a one-hour lead-in for All Out.

It remains to be seen whether WWE opts to run any earlier programming on the day of Wrestlepalooza and All Out, with the market leader aggressively targetting AEW events in recent months. Could we see an NXT special take place on that Saturday afternoon? Could we get some sort of televised supershow? We'll have to wait and see.

Just over two weeks away from All Out and Wrestlepalooza, the AEW PPV has three matches announced - Adam Copeland & Christian Cage vs. FTR, Hurt Syndicate vs. Ricochet & Gates of Agony, and AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Moné vs. Riho - while the only confirmed match for Wrestlepalooza right now is Stephanie Vaquer and Iyo Sky facing off for the vacant WWE Women's World Championship. That said, John Cena will be in action, likely against Brock Lesnar, the Usos are seemingly reuniting to battle the Vision, and it's expected that AJ Lee will be making her WWE return imminently ahead of teaming with CM Punk to face Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch at Wrestlepalooza.
