The 2022 All Out was the fourth annual All Out professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). It took place during Labor Day weekend on September 4, 2022, at the Now Arena in the Chicago suburb of Hoffman Estates, Illinois.
Fifteen matches were contested at the event, including four on the Zero Hour pre-show. In the main event,
The event became infamous for an incident which occurred during the post-show media scrum where CM Punk insulted and berated several wrestlers, leading to a legitimate backstage fight between Punk, The Elite, and backstage producer Ace Steel. Steel was released and the other four were suspended, along with four other wrestlers involved in the fight; Punk and The Elite were all stripped of their respective championships. All parties involved eventually returned to AEW within ten months after the incident, although Punk would be terminated on September 2, 2023—almost a year to the date of All Out–following a similar incident at All In with Steel released shortly after.

Background
All Out is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event held annually during Labor Day weekend by All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2019. It is one of AEW's "Big Four" PPVs, which also includes Double or Nothing, Full Gear, and Revolution, their four biggest domestic shows produced quarterly.[3] On July 13, 2022, AEW announced that the fourth All Out event would take place on September 4 at the Now Arena in the Chicago suburb of Hoffman Estates, Illinois. Additionally as part of All Out week, both of AEW's weekly television programs, Wednesday Night Dynamite and Friday Night Rampage, aired live from the same arena on August 31 and September 2, respectively. Tickets for all three events went on sale on July 15 with bundle packages available.[4] There was also a fanfest on Saturday, September 3 at the Renaissance Schaumburg Convention Center.[5] All Out itself was preceded by a one-hour pre-show called Zero Hour, which aired for free on AEW's social media platforms.[6]

Post-event media scrum
In the post-event media scrum, CM Punk took issues with certain members of the wrestling media as he addressed backstage issues with colleagues in AEW.
Next, Punk called "Hangman" Adam Page "an empty-headed fucking dumb fuck" who went "into business for himself" on national television, and further alluded to Page as "somebody that hasn't done a damn thing in this business [that has] jeopardized the first million dollar house that this company has drawn off of my back".[14] Punk later said regarding Page: "Our locker room, for all the wisdom and brilliance it has, isn't worth shit when you have an empty-headed idiot, who has never done anything in the business do public interviews and say, 'I don't really take advice'".[12] Punk went on to describe MJF as a "supremely talented individual" but also said that MJF "likes to shit where he eats instead of watering the grass".[14][15] Punk then proclaimed to an interviewer, "I'm hurt, I'm old, I'm fuckin' tired, and I work with fucking children".[14][16]

Aftermath
As a result of the physical altercation following the All Out post-event media scrum, AEW president Tony Khan suspended all involved, which included CM Punk, Ace Steel, Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson,
The suspensions of Buck, Daniels, Nakazawa, and Cutler were lifted about two weeks after All Out; according to Dave Meltzer, an independent investigation commissioned by AEW apparently determined that those individuals were trying to break up the fight.[24]
On October 18, Ace Steel was released from the company.[25] Steel was rehired in early 2023 to work in a remote capacity and to produce CM Punk's segments upon Punk's return to the promotion.[26][27]
On November 19, in addition to resuming their positions as Executive Vice Presidents, The Elite (Omega and The Young Bucks) returned at AEW's next PPV, Full Gear, where they faced Death Triangle for the Trios Championship in a losing effort.[28] This was later announced to be the first in a Best of Seven Series for the titles.[29] The Best of Seven Series would go all the way to the seventh and final match on the January 11, 2023, episode of Dynamite where The Elite defeated Death Triangle in a ladder match to become two-time AEW World Trios Champions.[30]
CM Punk suffered a torn triceps injury at the event that put him on hiatus for nine months.
