AEW All Out kicked off Saturday night with the Tailgate Brawl pre-show, live from NOW Arena in Chicago, Illinois, before the main pay-per-view event got underway.
The Tailgate Brawl featured several matches and storyline developments, including Jack Perry taking on Katsuyori Shibata, the Sisters of Sin battling Queen Aminata and Mina Shirakawa, and an eight-man No Disqualification main event between the Bang Bang Gang and The Dogs & Death Riders.
The Tailgate Brawl opened with "Jungle" Jack Perry vs. Katsuyori Shibata, as both competitors immediately engaged in a physical exchange.
Shibata controlled the early portion of the match, using a headscissors and a series of punishing chops before sending Perry to the floor. Perry eventually answered with an uppercut and drove Shibata head-first into the middle turnbuckle.
The action spilled to the apron and floor, where Shibata delivered a vertical suplex before sending Perry down again with another suplex.
Back inside the ring, both men battled on the top turnbuckle. Perry attempted a sunset flip powerbomb, but Shibata countered before Perry transitioned into the Snare Trap. Shibata reached the ropes to break the hold.
Perry later connected with a dropkick and double-underhook Tiger Bomb for a near fall. Shibata responded with a running chop and rear choke attempt before eventually locking in the submission.
Perry escaped the choke and quickly rolled Shibata into a tight cover, scoring the three-count.
Winner: Jack Perry
Following the match, Perry called out Samoa Joe.
HOOK, Anthony Bowens and Action Andretti came to the ring before Joe's music hit. Perry and Joe came face-to-face, with Perry extending his hand.
Joe refused to shake it and turned away.
Perry grabbed Joe by the shoulder and demanded the handshake, but Joe responded with a headbutt that dropped Perry to the mat.
The next match featured Julia Hart and Skye Blue, collectively known as the Sisters of Sin, against Queen Aminata and Mina Shirakawa.
Mina and Hart started the match, with Mina catching Hart in a roll-up after Hart attempted a moonsault.
The match quickly developed into a back-and-forth contest, with Aminata overpowering Blue and Mina connecting with a tornillo and spin kick.

Mina later hit a headscissors and top-rope shotgun dropkick, while Aminata followed with a diving double stomp.
The Sisters of Sin answered with stereo modified octopus submissions, but Mina and Aminata escaped and countered with simultaneous elevated reverse DDTs.
The match broke down late when Hart prevented Aminata from hitting Off With Her Head. Aminata instead caught Blue with a snap swinging neckbreaker.

As Aminata attempted to make a tag, Hart pulled Mina off the apron. That distraction allowed Blue to hit Code Blue on Aminata for the three-count.

The Tailgate Brawl main event featured an eight-man No Disqualification match pitting the Bang Bang Gang against The Dogs & Death Riders.
The match immediately embraced the Tailgate Brawl theme, with footballs, shoulder pads, barbecue equipment, cornhole boards and a keg becoming weapons.
Both teams began in three-point stances before Colten Gunn caught a football and threw it at David Finlay.
The fight quickly spilled throughout the ringside area. Clark Connors put on shoulder pads and ran through opponents with a series of tackles before delivering a back body drop onto a cornhole board.
Connors later grabbed a barbecue and used it as a weapon against Ace Austin.
The chaos continued around the entrance ramp, where Austin grabbed the football, leapfrogged Connors and caught Wheeler Yuta with a back heel kick before spiking the ball. Austin followed with a Fosbury Flop onto the group at ringside.
Back in the ring, Austin Gunn hit Finlay with a facebuster and DDT before Jay White came off the top rope with a Swanton while holding the football.
Colten Gunn then introduced a keg into the match.
Finlay was surrounded by the Bang Bang Gang and took a barrage of strikes before being hit with a Fameasser onto the keg. Marina Shafir broke up the pin attempt at two.
The action continued to escalate, with Connors being thrown into the barbecue and Ace Austin hitting The Fold.
Daniel Garcia was then hit with the 3:10 to Yuma, while Yuta nearly caught Colten Gunn with a roll-up.
White ultimately stopped the comeback with the Blade Runner, scoring the decisive pinfall.

PAC rolled to the floor, and Andrade attempted to follow him with a dive. PAC intercepted the champion with a kick to the midsection.
