AEW All Out 2022: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True

Unwanted swerves could make All Out the dirt worst AEW pay-per-view yet.

WWE could steal all the headlines by booking a nightmare-inducing double turn on Saturday's Clash At The Castle special in Cardiff. Never one who wants to be outdone by his competitors, All Elite boss Tony Khan might watch that and scramble through some more last-minute changes for his own pay-per-view: Sunday's All Out.

Start getting worried, folks.

Sorry, but there's almost no positivity here. The article is all about the absolute worst things that could happen this weekend, after all, and that doesn't leave a lot of room for sunshine or happiness. If all (or even most) of the things detailed here happen, then All Out 2022 could actually be the least-appealing AEW supershow ever.

That'd be depressing from a company which hasn't made a habit of regular letdowns on pay-per-view.

Unwanted title wins, "hot" issues that bore the t*ts off a knackered live crowd, complete disappointments when it comes to unannounced surprises and a main event revenge story so foul it'll leave many spitting mad on Twitter - so many bad things could happen on Sunday, and this list has the worst of them.

10. AEW Swerves On The Trios Titles

Vince Russo f*cking loved a right good (good?) swerve during the dying days of WCW. The 'other Vince' just couldn't resist taking fan expectations and then doing the complete opposite; that was true even when those expected results made more sense from a booking perspective.

Anyone other than The Elite becoming AEW's first Trios Champs would be Russo-esque. In fact, it might make some fans converge upon the back halls of the Now Arena to find out whether or not he was actually in cahoots with Tony Khan and booking some matches on the undercard.

Either The Dark Order or Best Friends will wrestle Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks for those brand new belts, but neither should come out on the winning end. Sadly, this fan can see Will Ospreay getting involved to screw over Omega before launching a singles feud with him.

That'd leave the Trios Title struggling from day one. GREAT.
