AEW All Out 2026 delivered a new signing and some notable reaction to a rare head-to-head night with WWE, as both promotions ran shows in the Chicago area on Saturday, September 26.
Dani Luna made her AEW debut at All Out, answering an open challenge issued by TBS Champion Persephone. Luna, a two-time TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champion, was unable to capture the title as Persephone retained in the bout. Following the match, AEW President Tony Khan announced on social media that Luna is officially All Elite, confirming her signing with the company.
The debut and subsequent signing were covered by Fightful, WrestleView and 411Mania, all of which reported that Luna’s move to AEW became official in the moments after her loss to Persephone at All Out.
Swerve Strickland On The Chicago Overlap
Elsewhere on the card, Swerve Strickland teamed with Kofi Kingston at All Out 2026 and afterward commented on the fact that AEW’s pay-per-view and WWE’s Worlds Collide event, presented in partnership with AAA, took place in the Chicago area at the same time on September 26. Strickland’s remarks on the simultaneous shows were reported by Fightful, eWrestlingNews and Wrestling Headlines, though none of the outlets detailed the specific substance of his comments beyond acknowledging the overlap between the two companies’ events.
Wrestling Headlines also noted other social media activity following All Out, including reaction tied to a reunion involving Kenny Omega and Kota Ibushi, alongside Luna’s own comments on her debut.
