AEW All Out 2026 On Course To Sell Out Despite Direct WWE Competition (AEW News)
AEW closes in on a total sellout for All In later this month.
With WWE and AEW going head-to-head later this month, things are currently looking good for AEW All Out.
AEW was first to announce that All Out will take place at the Now Arena in Hoffman Estates, just outside of Chicago, on Saturday, September 26th. However, that announcement was soon followed by WWE announcing a crossover Worlds Collide event for that exact same day, at that exact same time, and in that exact same market, taking place at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont - which, according to a quick online search, is approximately a 23-minute drive from the Now Arena.
Despite this competition, AEW All Out, per WrestleTix, is close to being sold out, with 8,914 tickets out of 8,976 sold as of last night.

For AEW All Out, that PPV currently has three matches announced: Will Ospreay defending the AEW World Championship against Jon Moxley; Adam Copeland and Christian Cage defending the AEW Tag Team Championships against the Young Bucks and FTR in a "chairs, ladders, and tables" match; and the Brawling Birds defending their AEW Women's Tag Team Championships against Divine Dominion in a Chicago Street Fight.
Worlds Collide promises to bring the talents of Raw, SmackDown, NXT, and AAA together, though only one match has been confirmed as of this writing, and even that has some uncertainty around it. That match will see Lady Flammer or La Catalina defend the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship against either Roxanne Perez, Nattie, La Hiedra, or Faby Apache. That said, it's been heavily implied that WWE Champion CM Punk will be featured at Worlds Collide in some form or fashion.
