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, CM Punk defeated Jon Moxley to win the AEW World Championship for a second time. In other prominent matches, Chris Jericho defeated Bryan Danielson, The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, and Nick Jackson) defeated "Hangman" Adam Page and The Dark Order (Alex Reynolds and John Silver) to win the inaugural AEW World Trios Championship, and in the opening bout, MJF made a surprise return as the disguised "joker" entrant and won the Casino Ladder match. It was the first event to feature the AEW World Trios Championship.

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.
