Andrew Zarian is back with another episode of the Sunday edition of Wrestling Observer Live, discussing the latest news in professional wrestling. AEW All Out took place Saturday night in Chicago.

Probably the most noteworthy news from the show was members of the Blackpool Combat Club breaking away from Bryan Danielson in a shocking turn after Danielson defended his title. Andrew suggests maybe they should bring in another member for this new group. He also breaks down the rest of the card, including the main event in which Hangman Page defeats Swerve Strickland in what might have been one of the most violent matches ever done in wrestling. Plus, the latest on the pending AEW/WBD deal and the pending timeline for an official announcement. All this and more!
