Now Arena

Okada takes on Ciampa, and Andrade El Idolo has a match against Pac.

The show takes place this Saturday night from Chicago's NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, and will be on pay-per-view.

Not to be outdone, WWE will be down the road with AAA and their Worlds Collide event, which we don't yet know how fans outside of the arena are going to be able to watch it if they'd like.

However, seven matches have been announced, including La Catalina taking on Roxanne Perez for the AAA Reina de Reyes Championship.

I'm super excited for that next week.

As I mentioned, if you happen to come out next Saturday at the Now Arena or just want to hang out in the park a lot, man, send me a DM, man.

All right, let's move on here.

so here is the current lineup for AEW is all out, which I mentioned, I'll be at the now arena Hoffman estates.

Um, Oh, shit, I better check too, man.

I think it's early start time for AEW's All Out.

Um, they're going to have mustard.

Are they're going to have a grill? Are they're going to have a cooler, a beer? I'm not sure what the tailgate brawl is going to be, but, uh, hopefully I can get some free food out of this.

I guess he was the first one that I saw actually talk about it before Dave did.

But Dave put out this tweet that says, while this will not be the case because the setup at NOW Arena on September 26 won't allow for 10,000, I think he's since corrected himself because I read the Observer yesterday, and Dave seems to think that with the suites that will open and how many people will be there.

And then they're trying to open a few more tickets that there is actually a possibility that there'll be more than 10,000 people there for on Saturday.

But he says, it would have only been the third time in history that I know of, looking for historians' help if there are others, where two rival companies head-to-head in the same metro area drew 10,000 on the same day.

We're going to shove it even more.

And by the way, we're going to have it in a bigger arena in the All-State Arena compared to the NOW Arena.

The NOW Arena, that's where the Chicago Bulls G League team, the Windy City Bulls play, for those who don't know, in the NOW Arena.

My

gosh.

That's where AEW is happening? Yeah, the NOW Arena, yeah.

Oh, man, they need to just move it back.

Not the

Next weekend, WWE and AEW will engage in another head-to-head programming battle as the former company host Worlds Collide and the latter presents All Out.

On July 6th, AEW announced that All Out would emanate from the NOW Arena in Chicago on September 26th.

Ten days later, WWE revealed it would be countering AEW's show with the WWE AAA Worlds Collide event, set in the same area on the same day.

Some figures in the wrestling world have embraced the counter program, AEW commentator Jim Ross, on the other hand, is vehemently against it in this case, saying quote, I think I know the motivation.

Okay.

so hold on, let me go back, okay, so this is Allstate, I don't know what my neighbors are doing, holy crap, Allstate Arena is in Rosemont, and obviously we're not going to go by what the capacity is, but We'll say for basketball, it's 17.5K. All Out is in the NOW Arena, which was in Hoffman State.

And the NOW Arena is...

It doesn't give a real specific number of what the other one does, but it's 10.5. That was the arena

where they held the very first All In in 2018.

Yeah, so it doesn't give a specific...

All-state gives multiple different capacities, like concert, basketball, ice hockey arena.

For the now arena, it just gives capacity 10,543.
