WWE Schedules WWE x AAA Worlds Collide Event Opposite AEW All Out in Chicago Area

WWE and AEW will go head-to-head on September 26, as WWE has officially scheduled its next WWE x AAA Worlds Collide event for the same day as AEW’s annual All Out pay-per-view.

The date was revealed as part of a WWE press release announcing multiple upcoming event locations and schedules. According to the announcement, Worlds Collide will take place on Saturday, September 26, at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.

The announcement is notable because AEW had already confirmed that All Out will be held that same day at the NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. The two venues are located less than 30 minutes apart, setting up a rare situation where WWE and AEW will be running major events in the same market on the same night.

At this time, WWE has not announced a start time for Worlds Collide. AEW’s schedule for All Out is already in place, with the Buy In pre-show set to begin at 7 p.m. ET and the main pay-per-view card scheduled for an 8 p.m. ET start.

The decision creates an interesting dynamic for wrestling fans in the Chicago area, particularly those hoping to attend both events. Depending on WWE’s eventual start time, fans could be forced to choose between the two shows if there is significant overlap.

The upcoming Worlds Collide event will continue WWE’s partnership with AAA following WWE’s acquisition of the legendary Mexican promotion earlier this year. Previous Worlds Collide events have showcased talent from both companies, blending WWE’s global reach with AAA’s rich lucha libre tradition.

Meanwhile, All Out remains one of AEW’s signature annual pay-per-views and has historically been closely associated with the Chicago market, which has served as one of the promotion’s strongest fan bases since its launch.

With both companies now scheduled to run major events just miles apart on the same day, September 26 is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about dates on the wrestling calendar.

WWE x AAA Worlds Collide 9/12/2025 (Results)

WWE and Lucha Libre AAA came together in Las Vegas for an unforgettable supershow, blending lucha libre tradition with WWE spectacle. Legends like Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, Rey Mysterio, Marisela Peña, and Dorian Roldan were all in attendance. Aida Cuevas performed Mexico’s national anthem while Lilian Garcia handled the U.S. anthem. Commentary was split with Corey Graves, Konnan, and JBL calling the action in English, while Roberto Figueroa, Jose Manuel Guillen, and Marcelo Rodriguez handled the Spanish broadcast.

Penta’s Promise

Penta El Zero Miedo kicked off the night, rallying the crowd ahead of Mexico’s Independence Day celebrations. He vowed that he’d do what he’s never done in AAA—capture the Mega Championship.

Lucha Showcase – La Parka, Laredo Kid, Octagón Jr. & Mascarita Sagrada def. Cruz Del Toro, Joaquin Wilde, Lince Dorado & Mini Abismo Negro

The opener delivered everything you’d expect from a lucha free-for-all. Big dives, wild exchanges, and of course, La Parka’s dancing. The finish saw Mascarita Sagrada outsmart Mini Abismo with a slick roll-up for the win.

Dirty Dom vs. Rey Mysterio – Family Tension Heats Up

Dominik Mysterio continued to stir the pot, demanding that his father Rey strap the AAA Mega Championship around his waist when he wins it. Finn Balor, however, insisted Dom should do it on his own.

#1 Contender’s Match – Natalya def. Faby Apache

This one was a physical clash that turned into a mat-based chess game. After escaping Faby’s attempt at a Sharpshooter, Natalya countered into a series of pin attempts and managed to secure the win. The tension post-match showed this rivalry is far from finished.

Tag Team Title Drama – Psycho Clown & Pagano (c) def. Kofi Kingston & Grayson Waller

With Xavier Woods sidelined from a neck injury, Grayson Waller teamed with Kofi Kingston in an attempt to dethrone AAA’s hardcore duo. Woods still made his presence felt at ringside—only to run in fear after Psycho Clown tore off his own mask mid-match. That left Kingston and Waller vulnerable, and the champs hit double Mexican Destroyers before Psycho cradled Waller for the pin.

But the celebration was short-lived. The Wyatt Sicks appeared in the dark and brutalized the champs. Erick Rowan, Dexter Lumis, and Uncle Howdy left both men destroyed, holding up the AAA Tag Titles to close the segment.

Mixed Tag Mayhem – Mr. Iguana & Lola Vice def. Finn Balor & Roxanne Perez

This one turned chaotic thanks to puppet warfare between La Yesca and Demonito. The comedy didn’t overshadow the action though. After Balor nearly stole it, Lola Vice fired off a spinning backfist on Roxanne to seal the victory for her team.

Latin American Championship – El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. (c) def. Dragon Lee, Ethan Page & JD McDonagh

A four-way car crash saw all four men throwing bombs. In the end, Wagner capitalized after a series of rapid counters, planting JD with the Wagner Driver to retain his title.

Main Event – Dominik Mysterio def. El Hijo del Vikingo (c) to win the AAA Mega Championship

The unthinkable happened in the main event: Dirty Dom is the new AAA Mega Champion.

The crowd was surprisingly pro-Dominik, chanting for him throughout as Vikingo received a mixed reaction. The bout was filled with interference—Balor and JD McDonagh tried to tilt things, but Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee evened the odds. At one point, El Grande Americano yanked the referee out, keeping Vikingo from getting a sure win.

After a series of near falls, Dom loaded his mask with a foreign object and cracked Vikingo with a flying headbutt, followed by a frog splash. This time the ref was in position, and the three-count sealed it.

Post-match, Dominik forced his father to strap the belt around his waist, then celebrated with The Judgment Day and El Grande Americano, cementing his shocking title win.
