Andrade El Idolo opened AEW All Out on September 26, 2026, live from the NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, by retaining the AEW National Championship against PAC. The victory marked El Idolo’s fifth defense of the title since becoming its fourth champion, according to Fightful.
Wrestling Inc. noted that Marina Shafir was involved at ringside during the contest, though the outlet described her efforts as unsuccessful in swinging the match in PAC’s favor. Multiple outlets, including NoDQ and POST Wrestling, confirmed the finish saw Andrade El Idolo pin PAC to keep the National Championship in the opening bout of the pay-per-view.
The win kept El Idolo’s championship reign intact heading into a stacked All Out card that also featured Will Ospreay defending the AEW World Championship against Jon Moxley, and Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor of the Brawling Birds putting the Women’s World Tag Team titles on the line in a Chicago Street Fight, per F4W Online. The show additionally featured a ladder match along with appearances from Thekla and Persephone, as detailed in Fightful’s full results coverage of the event.
