All Elite Wrestling officially confirmed during this week's AEW Dynamite that Christian Cage will challenge Kenny Omega in the main event of the Sept. 5 All Out pay-per-view for the AEW World Championship. Cage has not lost a match since he arrived in the company back at AEW Revolution, while Omega has continued to dominate since winning the company's top prize last November. However, fans were noticeably torn when the match was announced, as Hangman Page looked poised to finally challenge his former tag partner and win the title he failed to earn at the same pay-per-view two years ago. Page had his No. 1 contender's status taken away recently after The Elite defeated The Dark Order in a 10-man tag match, but fans were still holding out hope for some sort of swerve.

How do you feel about his being the main event for one of AEW's biggest shows of the year? Let us know your thoughts down in the comments!

#AEW returns to Pay Per View LIVE for #AEWAllOut - Sunday, September 5, 2021 from the @NOW_Arena in Chicago.

Real Main Event in NYC?

Kenny Omega will indeed be facing Christian Cage at All Out for the AEW World Title. This just basically confirms to me that Kenny vs Hangman will happen at the Grand Slam show September 22. #AEWDynamite

Internal Turmoil

Wait, what? Christian Cage vs. Kenny Omega in the main event for the AEW world title?

I am both happy and sad at the same time. #AEWDynamite #AEWonTNT

Possibly Too Long

What do y’all think about Christian Cage vs Kenny Omega at All Out? Are they dragging out Omega vs Adam Page for too long? #AEWDynamite

CM Punk's Role

If CM Punk is wrestling at #AEW All Out, then not having Hangman vs. Kenny Omega is a great idea.

Realistically, all anyone is going to be talking out of the PPV coming out of the show is CM Punk.

Hangman deserves to have HIS moment and not have to share the spotlight.
