Well, that didn’t take long. Not long after Jon Moxley confirmed reports that he was out of All Elite Wrestling‘s All Out PPV on August 31 for his match against Kenny Omega, his replacement was announced by AEW themselves. The co-main event will now feature Omega take on former Dragon Gate Champion and 2x WWE Cruiserweight Champion PAC in Chicago.

This will mark PAC’s first official match with AEW since being introduced at the inaugural press conference this past spring, as visa issues led to PAC missing AEW Double or Nothing and subsequent appearances. Although PAC did face his Double or Nothing opponent Adam “Hangman” Page the week prior to Double or Nothing in the UK with Wrestle Gate, that was used as part of AEW’s storylines.
