AEW All Out Backstage Security Incident Turns Out to Be Nothing

The AEW All Out pay-per-view had a lot of eyes on it, not just for the in-ring action but due to rumors of a potential backstage incident.

During the show at the NOW Arena, a fan reported seeing security personnel rushing backstage, which sparked speculation about what might have been happening behind the scenes.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful addressed the situation during his post-show coverage. He noted that security was seen running backstage during the match between Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale, hinting that something might have gone down. However, as of the show’s conclusion, no specific details had emerged.

Sapp mentioned that he was gathering more information and said, “There’s word that maybe a little something went down. Like an argument or something. I’m getting details right now actually. Damn. I’ll let you know as soon as I can.”

Later on, Sapp clarified that there had been a situation involving a production employee, but it didn’t seem like a major issue. Eventually, Sapp took to Twitter to put the rumors to rest, describing the situation as a “big nothingburger,” confirming that no serious incident occurred backstage.

Fans were relieved by the clarification, especially after the tumultuous Brawl Out incident in 2022. It seems this time around, AEW was able to avoid any backstage drama, allowing the focus to remain on the show itself.

It’s good news for AEW, as fans hope the company can steer clear of unnecessary distractions and continue to focus on delivering exciting wrestling action.
