Konosuke flails, gets free and runs away! Fans boo but The Future survives for the present! Will the Cleaner, the Cowboy and Kota Ibushi make Konosuke pay for choosing Don Callis over them?
Backstage sit-down interview with MJF.
Renee Paquette sits with the AEW World Champion and thanks him for his time given how busy he is, so she’ll get right to it. This Sunday, AEW All In London, Wembley Stadium, over 80 THOUSAND fans. When he hears that number, what does that mean to him? It means he’ll be chubbed up! But let’s be honest, if there’s one thing MJF knows about himself is that he can’t get enough of fans chanting his name, “so Daddy’s trunks are gonna be awfully tight in London Town. Let’s face it, British people freakin’ love me, dude. I’m like the 2023 version of British Bulldog if he was Jewish and a good public speaker.”
MJF loves the crooked teeth Brits, too. So here is what he wants from the fans: when it is time for the main event, grab a pint, get pissed and cheer on your favorite chaff, so they can make this the loudest main event in the history of professional sports! Cheer for MJF like he’s the second coming of Winston Churchill, and he promises he will buy “every single one of you crazy hooligan alcoholics a pint.” Wait, really? No, Renee, are you nuts? He’s gonna make “that mark” Tony Khan pay for it. But we can edit this, right? Right… Sweet.
Alright, so as they said, Wembley Stadium, over 80 THOUSAND fans in London, MJF opens All In with the Zero Hour and the ROH World Tag Team Championships alongside Adam Cole, to then main event it with Adam Cole for the AEW World title. MJF grumbles that “that shmuck” got him to wrestle twice in one night, but he still loves Cole, he’s his best friend. Then how much pressure is MJF feeling going into Sunday? MJF says the old MJF would’ve BS’d this and said none, but the fact is, it is an immense amount of pressure, the most he’s felt his entire life. This is the biggest event in professional wrestling.
And none of this happens without not just his own talents, the support of the fans, but let’s also draw the attention to those who paved the road for pro-wrestling prior. MJF is about to be the biggest headliner in pro-wrestling and that’s insane. Think about those who came before: Hogan, Sammartino, Dusty Rhodes, John Cena, The Rock, Stone Cold, HHH, Taker, etcetera! And MJF is standing on the shoulders of giants. And on Sunday, August 27th, if he wins, he might become a giant himself. So a lot of pressure, but it is a pressure he is ready for.
There also seem to be some question marks around his friendship with Adam Cole, what it even is and the authenticity of it. Renee cues up footage that takes us back to June 14th, the time limit draw of their Title Eliminator Match. Cole wanted five more minutes, and MJF just stared him down as he said no. Then flash forward to July 19th, and the two of them hugging it out. Though MJF also had a frown on his face after. And then of course, just four weeks ago, Collision on July 29th, their loss to FTR and MJF wanting to hit Cole and Cole accepting it. Then just two weeks ago here on Dynamite, Cole getting on MJF’s case for how he treated Roderick Strong.
And just last week, MJF saying that the only thing that truly matters to him is the AEW World Championship. Renee says there are some glaring cracks and contradictions. What is his reaction to that? MJF’s reaction is that this is all new for him. It is vulnerable of him to even say that. He’s never had a genuine friend before, and that’s not making jokes or “work” anyone. That’s real. “Adam’s made me a better person in a really short amount of time. He taught me I can trust and that I can let my guard down. Frankly, Adam’s… Adam’s not just my friend, he’s my brother. And yeah, man, brothers fight. Brothers push each other. Brothers are competitive.
“But at the end of the day, brothers hug it out. And we always hug it out. And I understand why you guys would have reservations about trusting me. I’m far from perfect. Matter of fact, think about the worst thing you’ve ever done in your life. Okay, you just did. I’ve probably down that twice. However, I’ve been vulnerable for the first time in my life, and I guess what I’m asking you people to do is go on this journey with me. Be vulnerable with me, and I promise you, you will be rewarded. And that’s the first promise in my life that I intend to keep. Because I’m not just a scumbag, I’m your scumbag.”
Renee says this is such a monumental weekend for everyone in AEW, and she wishes him luck. MJF says he’s happy to do it with his best friend. What will Adam Cole have to say to all this? We hear from him in a sit-down interview later tonight.
Jon Moxley VS Rey Fenix w/ Alex Abrahantes!
For the first time ever, we will see a six-on-six Stadium Stampede match this Sunday! But the Blackpool Combat Club still needs to find three men to fight alongside them! Will the Maniac at least gain some momentum for his squad? Or will the Firebird show him the meaning of ANIMO?
Moxley finishes his entrance with AEW picture in picture. AEW returns to single picture as Fenix makes his entrance, Hyper Man Abrahantes by his side.

Moxley has the body scissors, though, Fenix can’t get away! Fenix is OUT, Moxley wins!
Winner: Jon Moxley, by submission
Moxley puts out Fenix’s fire, and the BCC has the momentum! And wait, the rest of the BCC rushes out! No more ringside ban now that the match is over, and Claudio uses the hook-end of a crowbar to drag Fenix up by his mask!! Yuta has his own crowbar, and fans boo as Yuta taunts Fenix with it. But here comes Eddie & Penta! WAIT! Who is standing in their way?! Is that ORTIZ?!?! Him and a madball sock!? And wait, SANTANA!? Santana is back, the Proud ‘n’ Powerful are reunited but against Eddie! Santana brawls with Penta, and then Ortiz CRACKS Eddie with the madball! Then he CRACKS Penta with it!!
And then Yuta CLOBBERS Fenix with the crowbar!! But wait, here come Best Friends! Cassidy’s hand is wrapped in a chain!! They chase off the BCC & PNP, but the damage has been done! The medics are called in to help Fenix after that headshot. If Fenix can’t compete at All In, will this just boil back down to a 5v5? And if so, will Eddie, Penta and their new amigos make the BCC pay in blood?
AEW returns as Fenix is loaded into an ambulance.
Penta and Alex ride with him, and Eddie is beside himself. The betrayal of his friends in Moxley, Ortiz and Santana is one thing, but for them to go this far to take out another friend in Fenix… Renee walks in and says Eddie tells her that her husband did this. She defends she’s not trying to be insensitive but Eddie refuses to talk to her on mic. What is this? She wants him to fix it? He’ll fix it at Wembley, just watch. What will The Mad King and his team do with one man down?
Backstage interview with Sammy Guevara.
Earlier today, Renee was with the Spanish God to ask him about last week, where Chris Jericho agreed to join The Don Callis Family, only for Callis to reject him and have Will Ospreay brutally beat Jericho down. Then Sammy was the one to save Jericho. Why? But in steps Matthew Menard, Angelo Parker and even Daniel Garcia. They ask him what he’s doing! They saw Jericho accept the offer, and the only reason things went south was because of that stupid painting! Daddy Magic says “Don Callis is exactly who we thought he was.” But Sammy counters that Jericho isn’t who they think he is!
Jericho is Sammy’s friend! They’ve been day once since Dynamite, and sure, there’ve been the ups and the downs, and Sammy doesn’t agree with everything Jericho does. But Jericho was blinded by friendship. Sometimes that happens. Jericho’s known Callis for over 30 years, and when your friends are in the wrong, that is when you need to be there for them even more. Sammy said he’d always have Jericho’s back and that’s what he was doing. Parker says okay, but understand that as Sammy’s friend, they don’t want him blinded by friendship the exact same way! Look at the trend here! It is always Sammy who is there for his friend.
But when it comes to Sammy needing a friend, is Jericho gonna be there for him? Something to think about. Menard & Parker leave, Garcia lingers a bit, then he leaves. Is there any chance the remnants of the Jericho Appreciation Society stay friends? Or will Sammy be the only one watching out for The Ocho?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
He stands by a table, and with security, as we prepare for the contract signing of Jericho VS Ospreay for All In. So please welcome first, Will Ospreay! Fans cheer as the IWGP United Kingdom Champion (yes, Ospreay changed the name and nationality of the former IWGP United States Championship) is accompanied by Don Callis. The two go to the ring together, and Schiavone apologizes for omitting Callis in the introduction. Fans boo Callis now but Schiavone moves on to introduce Chris Jericho! Fans cheer and sing along with Judas, and Sammy is with Jericho! Le Sex Gods go to the ring and stand on the other side of the table.
Schiavone says this is all in order here. The contract is for this dream match at All In. Jericho with Sammy, and Ospreay with Callis, and extra security given the volatility of this situation. A pen for each man, if someone would like to sign first. Callis hands the pen to Ospreay then takes the mic for himself. Fans boo but Callis says, “Everybody wants to know why I did what I did last week, Chris. It’s real simple. The reason I did what I did can be summed up in four words: Will BAH GAWD Ospreay!” Callis realized the only thing better than having Jericho in the family is if he could play a part in ending the career of the Greatest Of All Time!
Fans tell Don to STFU but Callis ignores it to explain that he made an offer to Ospreay that no one else could. And you know what the deal was? It was Jericho’s head on a platter at Wembley! So yeah, Callis threw away 34 YEARS of friendship for money and power! He chose writing history rather than watching it, and he chose Ospreay over Jericho! “So Chris, it occurs to me on a serious note, if I can get serious here with you, that a couple of years ago, you nearly died in England. Well, Chris. This Sunday at Wembley, I’m gonna be in Will Ospreay’s corner to make sure that job gets done to you once and for all by Will Ospreay, may God guide his hand!”
Fans boo Callis’ violent vow and Ospreay takes the mic to tell them all to shut up so he can talk. “Oi, Chris, are you actually taking this match seriously? Or is this some type of vanity project to say that your band performed in Wembley Stadium? Bruv, do you understand what Wembley Stadium is? It is the BIGGEST venue in the entire of the UK! This match is gonna change my life, bruv! I’ve got a missus at home and a four-year-old stepson. Yeah, here’s some news for you guys! The day before I wrestle Chris Jericho, I’m doing an indie! Cuz I’m trying to get as much money together to put my kid through school! This match changes my life, bruv!
“After this- OI, SHUT UP! PIPE DOWN, BRUV! After this, after I beat you, in pro-wrestling’s biggest event, I get to be the only man to say I’ve beaten Kenny Omega, Kazuchika Okada and Chris Jericho in two months!” Fans cheer that fact, and Ospreay says that goes very well in six months time, because his contract comes up for NJPW. And who is not gonna pay millions and millions for Ospreay? Because he KNOWS he is the best wrestler int he world! He’s better than The Elite, than Danielson, than PUNK! And better than JERICHO! Fans were with him until then.
But Ospreay says all of Jericho’s lineage, championships and legacy, Ospreay respects it all. But all it is is fuel for Ospreay’s future! Ospreay signs his part and hands it over to Jericho. Jericho takes off his jacket and Sammy handles it. Jericho gets on the mic to talk about that future, and the present while they’re at it. Congrats on all the things Ospreay has accomplished these last few months. But Ospreay might not have accomplished all those things if not for Jericho.
Because five years ago, when the entire wrestling world and the pundits and the sheet writers and the Meltzers were saying that Ospreay was gonna be in a wheelchair before he was 30 years old, like his hero, the Dynamite Kid, because he was just so reckless, JERICHO called Ospreay! Jericho got Ospreay’s number, called him, and told him to tone it down. Because if he didn’t, he wouldn’t have the longevity of Jericho, nor would he become what Jericho knew he’d become before anyone else, which is one of the top stars in this business. Fans cheer that and Jericho says that Ospreay did listen, and here we are, Wembley Stadium, Jericho VS Ospreay.
And Ospreay didn’t have to attack from behind just to get this match. Jericho said before that this match was in the works for years! It was supposed to happen in 2021, at the Tokyo Dome, before the lockdown! But there’s no lockdowns now, and this is Wembley! This IS the biggest show in pro-wrestling history, which means it’s the biggest show of even Jericho’s career! Almost 33 YEARS, don’t tell Jericho this is a vanity project! This is bigger than any WrestleMania, Tokyo Dome or anything else! This match means more to Jericho than anything.
Ospreay is coming at this from the bottom, Jericho is coming at it from the top, with everyone trying to knock Jericho off and every hater social media d*pshit after him, trying to predict his demise! Fans fire up and Jericho says that he has to be the best Jericho he’s ever been to beat Ospreay. And in return, Ospreay has to be the best Ospreay he’s ever been to beat Jericho. Jericho sings his part, and tells Ospreay to prove it to Jericho, to his family! To his mother, his father, his missus and his stepson! Prove it to them in front of 80 THOUSAND that you can beat Jericho! And don’t make him regret the fact he called you five years ago, or regret that he kept Ospreay from being in a wheelchair,
Ospreay SLAPS the mic, so Jericho SLAPS Ospreay! Sammy and the security step in as the two want after each other! Schiavone gets out of the way before things get any wilder! Jericho and Ospreay are red hot, will they burn it down in Wembley?
Backstage sit-down interview with Adam Cole.
Renee thanks Cole as she did MJF for taking this time. “We are days away from AEW All In taking over Wembley Stadium, unbelievable.” So to get right to it, the relationship/friendship with MJF and all the time they’ve spent together. As with MJF, Renee cues up a highlight reel. There’s Cole wiping some of the cake off MJF’s face, them winning big in AEW Fight Forever, now with Stadium Stampede mode DLC. There’s them all drunk and fired up wanting to DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE a waiter, and then actually doing just that sober to the janitor. And of course, them hugging it out after tag team victory during the tournament.
Renee asks what all this makes him feel? Cole says it’s “so bizarre because never in a million years would you think a guy like Adam Cole and a guy like MJF would not only get along but become, seriously, best friends.” Cole thinks the world of MJF professionally, absolutely amazing wrestler, and they’ve clearly had a ton of fun together. But what Cole appreciates most is that Max helped Cold find himself again. Cole hasn’t really gone into this, but when he first came back from injury, his confidence was at an all time low. This friendship he’s formed with Max, it reminded Cole of who the real Adam Cole is, and he’ll be grateful forever for that.
Renee says talking about this weekend, so much going on, especially for MJF & Adam Cole. Cole could walk out as the new ROH World Tag Team Champions, as AEW World Champion, but as he touched on, for Cole to land in AEW and go through what he went through, fight his way back, that was a lot. What would it mean for Cole to become either of those champions, but namely the AEW World Champion? Well, when Cole got into pro-wrestling, he didn’t go in with the intention of being “a wrestler.” He wanted to be the best wrestler. He’s won world titles all over, but the AEW World Championship solidifies you as the best professional wrestler on the planet.
So as far as that world title match with MJF, that is everything. Cole doesn’t want to win, he needs to win, and he will. Then another thing to bring up is Roderick Strong & The Kingdom have been questioning who Cole is as a friend, and who he is with MJF. There’s another highlight reel here. Flashback to June 28th, Cole was about to leave with MJF and he hugged it out with Strong. Strong told him he can’t really trust MJF, and Cole said of course not, that guy’s a maniac! But Cole is just playing along right now. What if MJF watches this back? He’ll find Cole out! That’s when MJF walked in and made fun of Roddy as “generic White guy.”
There was also July 19th, where Cole and MJF made it through another round, and Cole picked up the world title for MJF, only to look at it longingly. Cole feels awkward now, seeing how it looked to MJF in that moment. And then there’s just a few weeks ago, August 2nd, when they were hugging it out again, only for the week after on August 9th, Cole gets mad at MJF for mocking Roddy more. And then just last week, after MJF & Cole ran off Aussie Open, Cole gearing up to Superkick MJF, only to pull back and hug it out. After watching that back, how does it make Cole feel to have people questioning Cole’s intentions?
Cole laughs and says he is done. He doesn’t understand how people find it so hard to process that two people can be friends. Is it that hard? Is it that hard? He says this one time and one time only: There are NO issues between him and Max, NONE. Thank you, bye. Did Cole seem defensive to anyone else? Will Cole really hope he’s right that MJF doesn’t watch these shows back?
Tornado Tag: Darby Allin & Nick Wayne VS Swerve Strickland & AR Fox w/ Prince Nana!
The Relentless One’s relentless schedule continues! Darby beat Christian Cage but got beat down by Luchasaurus, and that was after making it through the rest of the Mogul Embassy before that.

Fox brings Nick around, CLUBS him, then they go right up to where his mom is in the front row! Nick has a bloody nose and Fox says she’s gonna see this “all over again! ALL OVER AGAIN!” Fox DUMPS Nick over while she says this is going too far. Swerve DUMPS Darby over now, and they’re ringside again. Swerve snap suplexes Nick to the floor! Nick writhes, crawls, and Fox paces. Fox drags Nick up, Swerve puts Darby in the ring, and Fox stomps Nick in a corner. Swerve CHOPS Darby, Fox ROCKS Nick. They coordinate, double snapmare and roll, SHOTGUN for Darby and COMPLETE SHOT for Nick!
Darby falls out of the ring, Fox wheelbarrows Nick, but Nick BOOTS Swerve away! Nick goes up and up and DOUBLE- NO, Wayne’s World flies into a POWERBOMB NECKBREAKER!! Fans lose their mind over that combo and Swerve covers, DARBY BREAKS IT! Fans fire up as Darby saves this one, and then BOOTS Fox from a corner! THROWBACK STUNNER! Then Darby DIVES into Swerve and they hit the desk! Fans fire up and Darby stands Swerve up to RAM him into railing! Darby grabs a chair, drags Swerve over and makes him take a seat. Fans fire up, “This is Awesome!” as Darby fires hands!
But Fox goes up the corner, TIGER WALL SAULT! Fox puts Darby in the chair now, and Swerve KILL STOMPS Darby down!! And now they have Nick all alone. Nick has a bloody nose but he drags himself up to his feet. Fans fire up as Nick blocks one boot but not the other! Swerve takes Nick down, sends him into Fox, and Fox suplexes for ANARCHY! Cover, TWO!?!? Nick survives and fans fire up again! The Embassy can’t believe it, but they drag Nick up again. Suplex and clinch, ANARCHY FISHERMAN BUSTER!! Cover, TWO?!?!? Nick Wayne survives again! But he gets a HOUSE CALL for it! Cover, TWO?!?!?!
Nick Wayne will not die and the fans are loving it! But Swerve drags him up, whips him to a corner, and runs in with Fox, DOUBLE BOOTS! Nick falls over, Fox goes up top, 450 FLOP as Nick moves! Swerve is too busy celebrating prematurely, and Nick hooks Fox, O’CONNER BRIDGE! Darby drags Swerve out of the ring! Darby & Nick win!!
Winners: Darby Allin & Nick Wayne, by pinfall
Swerve & Fox are stunned! Darby & Nick snatch victory from the jaws of defeat! Swerve gets a mic and… he laughs? “This is so disappointing. This is so disappointing. And by disappointing, I mean you, Fox.” Fox can’t believe Swerve would say that. But Swerve asks why, whenever Fox gets the opportunity of a lifetime, HE BLOWS IT?! Nana blames Fox, too. Swerve says he has tried. Why is Fox such a loser? Little did Fox know, this was a test! This was all a test! Fox asks what he’s talking about, but Swerve says that Fox can’t beat an 18 year old child that Swerve swept the floor with! Nana, stop, let him talk!
Swerve says if Fox can’t even do that, he can’t trust him. If he can’t trust him in this match, he damn sure can’t trust him at Wembley in front of 80 thousand! Fox tells Swerve he can’t do him like this, it ain’t over yet. But Swerve tells Nana to do the light work. Nana says, “On behalf of the Mogul Embassy, AR Fox… YOU ARE FIRED!” Fox turns around and Brian Cage DISCUS LARIATS him!! And then drags him up to DRILL CLAW!! The Machine destroys Fox, but Darby, Nick and STIIIIING are here! They storm up and run the Embassy off! Fans fire up as the Relentless Icons are in full force!
Darby takes the mic up to tell Fox, “What’d I tell you? I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you. You changed my life, you took me in when I was homeless. And no matter what you did to me, I’m always gonna credit you for helping me make it here. Take my hand.” Fox does, and Darby stands Fox up. Darby says he loves Fox, and they hug it out. Darby has forgiven Fox, but he tells Swerve, “you’re stupider than I thought! 80 thousand people in London this Sunday, what’re you gonna do? Who do you got? Who do you got?!” Swerve grins, as does Nana. Out walks Christian Cage & Luchasaurus?!
Captain Charisma says, “You guys shouldn’t look so surprised. The true greats are always two steps ahead. Isn’t that right, Stinger? Darby, Sting, are you gonna introduce me to your little friend? I think I know who this guy is, I heard a lot about you, Nick Wayne. It’s nice to meet you in person, finally. In fact, I heard a lot about you, I heard about your story, and I understand that you have a father… and your father is dead.” Fans boo but Christian says he understands Nick’s dad was a pro-wrestler. Well, Christian never heard of Buddy Wayne before so he must not have been very good.
Fans boo but Christian says good news! Since Nick’s dad was such a talentless hack, he doesn’t have to live up to anything! And if Christian were Nick, he’d steer clear of Wembley this Sunday, because Christian would hate to give Nick deja vu as he watches a casket close on someone else he loves in his life! Fans boo as Christian goes to an all new low, and Christian tells Nick that if he plays his cards right, Christian will be there to mentor Nick when it’s all over. “Because we all know every fatherless child needs a true mentor, and there’s nob- KEEP IT DOWN WHILE I’M CONDUCTING BUSINESS! There’s no better mentor than the TNT Champion!”
Fans boo as hard as ever, but Captain Charisma has made a business arrangement with the Mogul Embassy. Will they bury the Relentless Icons now and forever? Or will Darby & Sting not just avenge AR Fox for what Swerve did to him, but avenge Nick Wayne for what Christian just said to him?
FTR and The Young Bucks have a sit-down interview.
Renee sits between the AEW World Tag Team Champions and their challengers for All In, just days away from the biggest show in AEW history, and that’s even before considering this is FTR VS Bucks, Part 3! Now before getting to that, it’s been two weeks in a row that FTR has come to the aid of The Bucks, what’s that about? The Bucks do thank them for that and say they owe FTR, but Dax says don’t thank them, it wasn’t for The Bucks. They’re not pals or anything like that. Cash says it’s so they can find out once and for all who is the better tag team, no excuses. The Bucks say that’s fair.
Renee then says each team has one win apiece, so the rubber match has been made. In front of 80 THOUSAND in Wembley, does this feel like the biggest match of their careers? Matt Jackson says when they did the original All In, “it seemed impossible to do ten thousand people in an arena, right? And now, here we are, eight times over, it’s unbelievable. Biggest match of our career? Understatement of the century.” Nick adds that he feels the Bucks are made men. They don’t need to win this match. FTR needs to beat The Bucks to make sure their legacies are solidified. And he feels strongly about that, too.
Dax chuckles and Cash won’t even acknowledge that comment. Cash just says this is the biggest match of their careers, on one of the biggest shows in pro-wrestling history. And going in as the champions against, arguably, their top competition as the best tag team of this generation, there is a lot on this one. Dax says yes, biggest match of his career, and business is good for AEW. But this goes beyond business. This is personal for them. Renee says Nick touched on it with talk of legacies, and FTR VS Bucks, “legacy” is said in the same sentence. But then, what is this truly about? Is it about who is the best? Is it about the titles?
Dax says it is about both. When you have the titles, you can claim to be the best team in the world. But at the same time, it goes beyond that because, as Dax said to the point of annoying himself, legacy. The only team between FTR and a true legacy is The Bucks. On Monday morning, Dax doesn’t wanna wake up and have to explain to his family that he lost. Matt says yes, we get it. Every week, it’s “This is how Ah feed mah family!” Matt just wants to remind them, as it seems a lot of people have forgotten, how do you feed the family? Dax wants Matt to lave them out of this, but Matt points out that the Bucks got FTR here!
And then back to legacy, every day with that word. But if you wanna talk legacy, he doesn’t wanna do this, it’s gotten awkward. But Matt says this is the truth: “One day, when this is all said and done and we decide to hang up our sneakers and we say, ‘That’s it,’ you wanna know what people will say about The Young Bucks? They’re gonna say, ‘The Young Bucks, let’s finally give ’em their damn flowers. That’s the best damn tag team that has ever competed in pro-wrestling.’ And do you know what they’re gonna say about you (FTR)? They’re not gonna whisper, they’re gonna say it. They’re gonna say, ‘And those guys, those are the guys that the Young Bucks named on their YouTube show.'”
Dax chuckles again, and says the Bucks had to jump on their name, insult their popularity, and that’s because the Bucks were trying to get on FTR’s level! “There ain’t no way you can be on FTR’s level, but here’s the thing: 80 thousand people, we will make you guys. You tell us every week, every time you get an opportunity or an interview, you are the foundation. We’re the foundation here now, and we will crack your foundation in front of 80 thousand people.” Matt says, “See you at Wembley.” Renee says yes, All In London, FTR VS Bucks for the titles. Who will walk out of Wembley as THE best tag team today?
AEW hears from the Women’s Championship contenders.
Toni Storm says, “All In is this Sunday. Before heading over to England, we have Rampage, and there’s going to be a tag team match of Saraya and myself against Shida and Britt Baker.” Britt herself adds that Friday on Rampage, she is taking AEW on a trip back to the DMD Era. Shida says we will all see on Rampage that she is unstoppable, because at All In, she will win and take all! Who will survive the Rampage on the way to Wembley Stadium?
Ruby Soho w/ The Outcasts VS Skye Blue!
Speaking of the Outcasts, Saraya is already in London promoting the show, and Toni Storm isn’t sticking around, but she trusts The Runaway has this in hand. Will Soho bring down the upstart Chicago Skye? Or will Skye simply rub it in that Ruby is the Outcasts stuck on the outside looking in on All In?
Skye poses on the ropes, and Soho DUMPS her out! Fans fire up as Soho goes to the apron, Skye blocks a kick and trips Soho! Soho lands hard on the apron, and Skye spins her around to KICK her in the face! Skye then brings Soho around to RAM her into railing! Fans fire up with Skye and she brings Soho back into the ring. The bell rings and Skye drags Soho up to full nelson. But Soho reaches back and claws at Skye’s face! Skye lets go, the ref reprimands, but Soho throws Skye down by her hair! Fans boo but Soho stalks Skye and stomps her down. Soho drags Skye up, bumps her off buckles, then stomps a mudhole in!
The ref counts, Soho lets off and soaks up the heat. Soho goes back to Skye, CHOKES her on ropes, and the ref counts. Soho lets off at 4, fans boo and Skye throws body shots! Soho eggs her on so Skye throws more shots, but Soho throws Skye down by her hair again! Soho has Skye in a corner, stands her up, and CHOPS her! Soho CHOPS again, and Skye staggers away to a corner. Fans rally for Skye, she throws forearms back but Soho SLAPS her! Skye keeps throwing shots, and she CHOPS back! And then fires off forearms! Skye backs Soho down but Soho claws her eyes again! Fans boo but Soho bumps Skye off buckles.
Soho taunts the fans as she walks corner to corner, then she runs back in at Skye! Skye dodges, Soho stops herself and elbows Skye. Soho goes up but Skye denies Nightshade to put Soho on the apron and ROUNDHOUSE! Soho staggers, Skye runs in and SHINING WIZARDS! Soho goes to the floor, Skye goes to the apron, and she runs in. Soho swings, Skye jumps the leg sweep, and then she mule kicks Soho! To then CROSSBODY to the floor! Fans fire up with Skye again as Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Skye drags Soho up and puts her in the ring. Skye sneers and climbs the corner, but Soho wants the ref to check her face. He says it seems okay but she says there has to be something wrong. But she’s just using him as a shield so Skye can’t jump at her! Then Soho runs in to YANK Skye down! Soho covers, TWO! Soho is frustrated and she SMACKS Skye off the mat. Soho glares at fans then goes back to Skye. Soho CHOKES Skye on ropes again! The ref counts, Soho lets off and stalks Skye. Soho stands on Skye’s hand, then stomps it! Skye clutches the fingers, but Soho drags her up to DECK her with a foraerm!
Skye flounders to ropes, Soho storms up on her, and she drags Skye up to swing. Skye ducks and rolls Soho up! TWO, and Soho CLOBBERS Skye! Cover, TWO! Soho is frustrated and she drags Skye into a motorcycle stretch. Fans rally, Skye endures, and Skye fights up to arm-drag free! But Soho comes back to LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Soho just grows further frustrated and she bumps Skye off buckles. Soho kicks legs out, then goes side to side. Soho howls and runs in, but Skye dodges! Soho stops herself, runs at Skye but Skye dodges again! Soho tries again but Skye spins her to KNEE SMASH!
Soho blocks Skye’s kick but not the BASEMENT ROUNDHOUSE! Skye hurries to run in, another SHINING WIZARD as Dynamite returns to single picture! Skye keeps moving this time, to BOOT Soho down! Soho flounders to a corner as the fans fire up with Skye! Skye runs in again, but Soho puts her on the apron. Skye ROCKS Soho, climbs up top, and then Skye CROSSBODIES again! Cover, TWO! Soho is tougher than that but Skye drags her up. Full nelson and spin, but Soho wrenches out to clinch! Skye fights the saido with body shots, then runs, but Soho reels her in! Soho runs, but Skye catches her for a SWINGING NECKBREAKER!
Skye crawls for the cover, TWO, into ghost pin! TWO and Skye has the cover back, TWO as Soho sunset flips! TWO and Skye sits on Soho! TWO, high stack, TWO! Soho pops Skye back into position, TWO! Both women stand, Soho blocks a kick, ducks the basement roundhouse this time, but Skye HOOK KICKS! Skye reels Soho in, SKYE FALL!! Cover, TWO!?! Soho survives and Skye can’t believe it! Fans rally up, Skye runs, hops on, but Soho pops her off! Soho blocks a kick to KNEE back! Skye SUPERKICKS! Soho runs up, into a backslide! ONE, Soho wrenches to NO FUTURE!! Skye staggers around, into DESTINATION UNKNOWN!! Cover, Soho wins!
Winner: Ruby Soho, by pinfall
The Runaway is firing on all cylinders! She knows Storm and Saraya have their shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship, and she’s calling out Kris Statlander for the TBS Championship! Will Soho get to go all out against the Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with Roderick Strong & The Kingdom.
Renee is with Roddy, still in a neck brace, as well as Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. She brings up the relationship of MJF & Adam Cole really striking a nerve with Roddy, he just seems so angry about it. What is it about Cole & MJF that Roddy knows that we don’t? Roddy seethes, but says, “This is what I know. At the end of the night, at All In, we’re gonna find out who the real MJF is, and we’re gonna find out who the real Adam Cole is.” Well, alright. The Savior of the Backbreaker seems confident in that, but will his prediction be undisputed?
The House of Black speaks.
Malakai Black says, “The definition of the world ‘funeral’ means ‘to observe a dead person before burial.’” The Samarians believed the afterlife was a dark, dreary cavern deep below the ground, where inhabitants continued a shadowy version of their lives on Earth. “Here lies Billy Gunn, a man of nothing, and a father of immorality and lies. Rest in pain.” The House has put Billy’s boots in the trash compactor! Will they get away with this disrespect?
Wait, The Acclaimed storm out to the ring!
No music or antics, Max Caster & Anthony Bowens are all business! Fans fire up and Bowens gets a mic. “NO MORE FUN AND GAMES! NO MORE FUN TIME WITH THE ACCLAIMED! We’re still standing! House of Black, get your asses to this ring right now!!” Fans fire up and Bowens says do the thing! Make the lights go out! They wanna fight! And so the lights DO go out, and fans fire up even more! The House of Black makes their entrance, storming right down to the ring. They surround the ring now, but The Acclaimed is all fired up! The House steps in and the brawl is on 3v2! Bowens gets mugged by Malakai & Brody while Buddy has Caster!
Julia watches on with a smile as the House stomps away on Bowens & Caster, then she steps in as it appears they have this handled. Malakai KICKS Bowens down! Fans hoot and bark as Brody wraps his fist with the chain and padlock from Collision! But wait, the Acclaimed music hits now? BECAUSE DADDY ASS IS BACK!! Billy Gunn storms down to the ring, and he gets the House to back off! Fans fire up as Billy stares daggers at them. Billy then checks on his boys and helps them up. Billy then picks up the mic to say, “Hold on just one second! You wanted my attention? Well, now you’ve got it!
“So let me try to explain to you kinda what you have done. You see, a couple weeks ago, after you beat me for the second time, I sat right there (in the corner), unlaced my boots, placed them right there (in the center of the ring), and I did the two hardest things I had to do in my life. One, walk out on Max & Anthony. Two, leave behind a really good career. And I was okay with that. But then last week, you jumped Max & Anthony. You busted Max open. You hurt one of my kids.
“But that wasn’t good enough. Then you took my boots and you destroyed them! You tried to tear down a legacy that has taken me 32 years to build! I’ve done stuff in this business that will go down in wrestling history.” Fans cheer that! Billy says he is a Hall of Famer, and the House just pissed all over that. “So for that, for that, one more time! It’s all or nothing! All In, Wembley Stadium, in front of 80 THOUSAND PEOPLE…! Look at my eyes. I take everything from you! Because at All In, it’s the House of Black against the Acclaimed and, well, unfortunately, that fun-loving Daddy Ass can’t make the trip.
“But there is a guy I thought we’d never see again. And I guarantee you’re gonna wish that you’d never seen him, either. Because there’s a BADASS coming to London, and his name is Billy Gunn!!” Fans are all fired up as it is titles VS career, one final battle to end it all! Will Billy’s resurrection be a golden one?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
The Fyter Fest continues right to All In Eve with an All In All-Star 8 Man Tag! Jay White, Luchasaurus, Brian Cage & Swerve Strickland join forces against Darby Allin, Sting, CM Punk and a mystery man! Who from the All In card will be willing to risk it all before the big night? And Samoa Joe will be watching on commentary, will he have more than just words for the “Real” AEW World Champion?
Well, that mystery man won’t be Orange Cassidy, he’s got a Six Man Tag match alongside Penta and Eddie Kingston taking on The Superbad Squad! Will we see that Freshly Squeezed and the Mad King also have #CEROMIEDO? Or will Kip Sabian, The Butcher & The Blade make their case for big opportunities? And Jack Perry STILL plans on retiring the FTW Championship, he just doesn’t have time for it tonight! Will someone, anyone, stop Hollywood Jack Perry from burying the rogue title alongside Jungle Boy?
ROH World Tag Team Championships: Aussie Open VS The Hardy Boyz!
MJF & Adam Cole made the challenge to Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis for All In, but the champs have been more than willing to put these belts on the line since then. Are they taking the tag legends of Matt & Jeff Hardy too lightly? Or will they be the ones to DELETE DELETE DELETE?
Dynamite returns as Aussie Open make their entrances. The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who goes all in on Fyter Fest!
No Code of Honor nor teams sorting out, Aussie Open just attack The Hardys at the bell! Fans fire up and many boo as Fletcher stomps away on Matt while Davis CLUBS away on Jeff! Fletcher puts Matt in a corner and fires off hands, then throws him down as Davis goes to the opposite corner. Aussie Open aim, run in, but Matt dodges! Aussie Open stops short of hitting each other, and Matt ROCKS Davis! Jeff ROCKS Fletcher! The brawl is on again and fans fire up! The ref wants them to finally sort out, but the Hardys double whip Davis corner to corner. Matt sets up for Jeff, POETRY IN MOTION!
Fletcher kicks Matt, whips him to a corner but Matt reverses. Matt sets up again, Jeff hits Davis for good measure before he runs in, POETRY IN MOTION for Fletcher! Fans fire up and Matt clotheslines Davis up and out! Jeff clotheslines Fletcher up and out! Davis gets up, Matt DECKS him! Fletcher slides back in but both Hardys kick him low! The Hardys double whip, double ELBOW, then SENTON FIST DROP COMBO! Fans fire up with the Hardys, and then Matt & Jeff go outside after Aussie Open. Jeff CLUBS Fletcher while Matt SMACKS Davis off steel steps! Jeff CLOBBERS Fletcher against railing while Matt SMACKS Davis off the apron!
Jeff brings Fletcher around to RAM into more railing but Kyle kicks back, and Dynamite goes picture in picture. Matt POSTS Davis, and Jeff THROWS Fletcher into even more railing! Jeff then moves the steel steps around while Matt DECKS Davis. The ref reprimands, he wants this in the ring. Jeff runs to go up the steps, but Fletcher SUPERKICKS him out of the air! Davis turns things around on Matt, to APRON BACK SUPLEX! Davis storms around, he and Kyle coordinate, and they pick the Hardys up. They run in around the way, to SPINEBUSTER SANDWICH! Fans fire up as the Empire throws the crowns up.
Fletcher mocks Jeff Hardy’s famous dance moves before he and Davis regroup at the corner. Davis drags Matt up, and brings him around to take a seat in a corner of the railing. Davis then rains down fists on Matt’s head! Fletcher puts Jeff in the ring and we finally have some legal men. Fletcher stomps Jeff, drags him up, and bumps him off buckles. Fletcher taunts the fans before he ROCKS Jeff! Fletcher soaks up the heat then tags to Davis. Aussie Open stalks Jeff, drags him up, and double whip him to ropes. They DOUBLE CHOP Jeff , then set him up for the PENALTY KICK and SENTON! Kneeling cover, TWO!
Davis drags Jeff up again into a chinlock. Jeff endures and fans rally up as Matt returns to the Hardy corner. Jeff fights up, Dynamite returns to single picture, but Davis CLUBS Jeff down! Davis tags Fletcher back in, fans rally up, but Aussie Open bring Jeff away from Matt. Fletcher calls the shot, “DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE~!” to mock MJF & Cole. Aussie Open double whips, but Jeff ducks them! Fletcher runs in but into an elbow! Davis runs in but into a haymaker! Jeff goes up top to WHISPER IN THE WIND! He gets them both and fans fire up! Jeff crawls, Matt reaches out, hot tag! Matt rallies on Fletcher with LARIAT after LARIAT!
Matt whips, back drops and Fletcher lands hard! Matt brings Fletcher up to “DELETE! DELETE! DELETE!” off the buckles again and again! Davis runs in but Matt dodges to kick low! But no Twist as Davis fights it! So Matt shifts to a DDT! Fletcher runs in, into a SIDE EFFECT! Cover, TWO! Matt keeps his cool as he says he will go up! Matt hops up as promised, fires up and leaps, AX HANDLE! Fans fire up as Matt calls his shot! Fletcher is dazed, the fans join in on the “DELETE! DELETE!” Kick low but no Twist! Fletcher whips, Matt reverses but Fletcher ELBOWS back! Fletcher goes up but Matt ROCKS him!
Matt fires off haymakers, then he tags in Jeff. Fans rally, Matt and Jeff each climb! Matt has Fletcher, SUPERPLEX for the Power! Jeff SPLASHES for the Glory! Cover, Davis breaks it! Matt CLUBS away on Davis, then he and Jeff fire off in the corner. They hoist Davis up, go up after him, but Fletcher CLUBS the Hardys! Fletcher has Matt for a SUPER POWERBOMB! Davis tags in, he gets Jeff up! AUSSIE DENTAL PLAN!! It hit low, so that was more like an Aussie Heart Check-Up! Davis scoops again, Fletcher is back up, FLYING LAWN DART! Davis covers, Aussie Open wins!!
Winners: Aussie Open, by pinfall (still ROH World Tag Team Champions)
They didn’t even need their harder stuff, the Aussie Arrow & Dunkzilla took the Charismatic Enigma down all the same! Davis then gets the mics to shout “OI OI OI! Shut the hell up, Atlanta!” Fans boo, but Fletcher says, “Wembley Stadium, there will be NO Double Clothesline! There will be NO Kangaroo Kick! And Aussie Open will still be your Ring of Honor World Tag Team Champions, BAYBAY~!” Aussie Open throws up the crowns, but wait! Here comes MJF & Adam Cole! They fist bump and storm down to the ring in their matching Better Than You Baybay shirts! Aussie Open is ready, and the four stare down.
Fans fire up as Aussie Open holds up the tag titles. MJF and Cole smirk and go to leave, but Aussie Open won’t let them! So the brawl is on! They all fire fast hands and the fans are thunderous! MJF has Davis, Cole has Fletcher, but Aussie Open turns things around by digging at the eyes! Fletcher fires off hands, Davis stomps in a mudhole! Fans boo as Aussie Open storms around the ring. And Fletcher says “Double. Clothesline!” They aim at Cole but MJF jumps onto Davis for a SLEEPER! Cole BOOTS Fletcher down! Davis TOSSES MJF but Cole BOOTS him! Fans fire up as MJF & Cole regroup!
The new best buds shout “DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!” They double whip Davis, but Davis holds ropes and bails out! Fletcher staggers up, so MJF & Cole reset! MJF wants to do it and the fans wanna see it! Cole wants to see it, too, but then Davis CLOBBERS MJF from the apron! No Kangaroo Kick, but Cole SUPERKICKS Davis! Fletcher runs in but MJF ELBOWS Fletcher down! Big save from the champ, and Cole wants to set Fletcher up! MJF holds Fletcher up, Cole takes aim, but then Fletcher ducks! MJF blocks the superkick in time!! Both of them just went through reviewing their friendship tonight, and now the two are staring down.
Fans chant to “HUG IT OUT! HUG IT OUT!” as the two are forehead to forehead. MJF takes a step back, picks up Triple B and raises it high. Cole offers a handshake, but MJF pushes past him! But then he thinks about it. MJF brings out the Dynamite Diamond Ring? And puts it on his finger?! Is he gonna do it? No, MJF changes his mind and puts it away. And then he HUGS Cole!! Fans cheer that the brochachos hold together! But is it only going to last four more days? Or will this friendship survive even the biggest main event at the biggest show in AEW history?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here, though “Fyter Fest” gets hurt a bit by how this is the go-home to All In. And there was word that there’d have to be changes to All In, one understandable and the other confusing as all get out, so we got those right here in one night. The understandable one, though still a shame, is that Fenix could not be part of All In because of travel visa issues. But they had a good way of writing him off with The BCC sinking to new lows. Moxley VS Fenix put on an awesome match, Moxley wins, and then he and the others hospitalize Fenix for the week. And what an awesome way to bring Santana and Ortiz back! A shame they’re going down to 5v5 but this will still be great stuff for All In.
The change that was confusing and honestly, a little dumb, was AR Fox being kicked out of The Mogul Embassy. The tornado tag match was awesome stuff, as to be expected, but at the start, this felt like a really weird sampler for the All In tag team casket match. As such, I did NOT see Darby & Nick winning this one. I thought go-home math would dictate them losing so that Darby & Sting can win at All In. Darby forgiving Fox was still a nice detail, though I REALLY hope that doesn’t sour Nick Wayne into actually taking Christian Cage up on being a mentor. It’d make sense, but I don’t want it to happen, I want Nick to see things Darby’s way. That said, I now have a knot in my stomach of thinking that is exactly why Christian is the one taking Fox’s place in the match.
Speaking of All In samplers, that’s what The Elite VS Bullet Club Gold looked like on the surface, but at least this was a positive bait ‘n’ switch. The brawl between The Elite and BCG that then brought FTR out was good stuff, and they used it to feed into the sit-down interview together. Good stuff, and I can’t help but agree with Matt about Dax playing the “Ah feed mah wife ‘n’ baby girl with this” card too often. Though I’m torn on the “We named you on our YouTube show” jab. It’s not like they could use “The Revival” outside of WWE, and so they were turning an insult/joke into something positive. But uh, given certain things concerning Cash in real-life, I would like to think The Bucks win out at All In.
Good little promo video from Storm, Britt and Shida each saying a few things, but as I’ve said before, I feel like Saraya should be the one winning the Fatal 4 Way. It somehow works out that she didn’t say anything in that video, and will be back on-screen for Rampage to tag with Storm. Great match from Soho VS Skye, especially since it was without outside interference. Soho may want after Kris Statlander but Kris still has to sort things out with Mercedes Martinez, Diamante and maybe even Willow Nightingale. Maybe Ruby will be watching whatever match comes out of that and says she’s got next.
Awesome contract signing segment from Jericho and Ospreay with them more or less shooting from the hip. I definitely do remember about five years ago or so, everyone being worried about Ospreay’s neck because of all the just rough spots Ospreay was doing in NJPW against rivals like Kushida, Hiromu Takahashi and Marty Scurll. To think it was Jericho who called him on it and got him to stop. Ospreay VS Jericho is going to be wild stuff, no idea who wins it. Great segment from The Acclaimed and House of Black, and we’re getting as I expected in a final Trios Championship match between them. I’m sure “Badass” Billy Gunn will help them win it this time, it’d be a shame to bring him back just to lose again.
And even more awesome stuff from this story of MJF, Cole and the rest. Great interviews from Cole and MJF, and we got an awesome main event tag from Aussie Open VS Hardys. Of course Aussie Open wins, but I feel like Jeff got legit rocked by that kick from Kyle, so they just let the lawn dart finish this. Aussie Open and MJF & Cole had a very go-home interaction there, and I like that they again played on the dysfunction. I definitely feel like Cole is just one step away from turning on MJF. The fans are actually really liking MJFace, and Strong had a good promo that also alluded to things, namely his use of phrases like “the real Adam Cole.”
Cole can easily just choose Strong & The Kingdom for a sorta hybrid Undisputed Era Kingdom faction, where Taven & Bennett can still go for the ROH tag titles, with Adam Cole as the world champion and Strong getting a midcard title. Golden Prophecy, AEW style, with MJFace in the chase per old school wrestling tropes.
My Score: 8.9/10

MVP celebrates with his guy as this “wolf of wrestling” continues to be a worm! MJF shows off the contract he stole from everyone else, but who will it be he’s targeting next? Will “Dictator Jon” keep his reign of terror going? Or will Hangman Page free us all from the Death Riders’ death grip?
Stokely Hathaway speaks.
“We are officially done with The Outrunners. And like I said earlier this week, FTR will be watching the AEW World Tag Team Championship match up close and in person. But one caveat, breaking news: FTR, they will be the special guest commentators for that tag team championship match. So to the champions, Hurt Syndicate, to JetSpeed, to Christian Cage & The ROH World Television Champion, Nick Wayne, FTR says they hope that everyone just has a good time. Top Guys Out.” Well, great… But will Cash & Dax have more than just verbal input on the Triple Threat?
Adam Cole is here!
Despite what’s going on, Adam Cole is still here tonight, and he makes his way out to ringside so he can watch this match in person. The fans cheer him on as he grabs the mic to say. “It’s… It’s really hard to put this into words, but I wanted to come out here and talk to you all. Very sorry that I let everybody down and I can’t wrestle tonight. I have some health issues going on at the moment that not only will not allow me to defend this championship tonight, but I am going to be gone for awhile. And, uh… I don’t even wanna think about talking about retiring, because I am not in the right head space.
“But I wanted to have this opportunity to come out and talk to you all, if this is indeed goodbye, because you are the best damn wrestling fans in the world.” The fans applaud, and Cole gets emotional. The fans cheer him on more, which only makes it a bit harder for him. Cole thanks them for that, and says since he was 9 years old, he dreamt of being a pro-wrestler. All the fans made that dream come true, supporting him across multiple promotions all over the world, they have no idea what that means to him. With his highest highs and even his lowest lows, they have been supportive through it all and he will love them forever for it.
Cole does his best to keep going, and says he won’t take any more time, this is the best PPV you’ve ever seen going right now. We will have a NEW TNT Champion tonight, and once again, you will watch AEW do PPV like nobody else does. And from him and everyone in AEW, thank you for making AEW what it is, thank you for making it so special, and he thanks them all for making his life so special. He loves us all, thanks us all, good night. The Paragon hugs it out and the fans chant #ThankYouAdam. And we get to say it one more time, “ADAM COLE BAYBAY!” They say never say never, so when and where will we see Cole again?

AEW shares footage from after Dynamite.
The Death Riders regrouped, and Moxley says, “For nearly a year, we have bene testing people. We have been pushing people. Frankly, most of ’em have failed the test. Turns out, this isn’t the job they really want. This is the greatest sport in the world, and it’s the toughest sport in the world, and they don’t have the stomach to endure! You can scour the globe for people who have it in ’em. In their guts, in their soul, who don’t know any other way. There’s a few of ’em out there, I know ’em when I see ’em.” Gabe Kidd tells “Shibata-san, you taught me about fighting spirit, how to show it to the world, how to fight with all your heart.
“You go out there, and you hang out with Samoa Joe and Will Hobbs and you just collect a paycheck. Now you don’t have a single ounce of effin’ fightin’ spirit left!” Wheeler Yuta says The Opps have beaten and battered and bruised him, but he will continue to move forward because that is nothing compared to what The Death Riders have done to him to make him stronger. Claudio Castagnoli says they do not go out there and beg. Beggars are not warriors, and warriors do not beg. Marina Shafir says “they” are all pathetic, weak, brittle, and are all p*ssies!
Moxley says if you wanna be in the business, you can’t pretend your way into it. You can’t buy your way into it. You can’t gladhand and ass-kiss your way into it. You wanna be the real thing? You gotta be all in, or all out. Moxley VS Hangman, and now Claudio, Yuta & Gabe VS The Opps, all the gold on the line! Who will leave Texas with it all in their hands?
Harley Cameron is working out.
The wild Aussie loses her grip on the chin-up bar, falling on the floor. She introduces herself and says that she crashes, a lot. But when she needs to reenergize and fast, “You need an iDrinq!” OMG, Dr. Puppet? And yes, iDrinq’s caffeine free family delivers the electrolytes and vitamins you’ll need to get back up from your crash! Pick yourself up some today!
Sky Flight Team speaks.
Scorpio Sky says, “Scorpio Sky is back, and yeah, it’s a feel good moment. But we have to remember one thing: All of this can go away in the blink of an eye, and that is something I cannot let happen again. I have surrounded myself with the best talent and knowledge I can find. And that is Sky Flight Team.” Christopher Daniels says, “Understand that every championship you have is a possible goal: The World, the Unified, the TNT, the tag titles, the trios titles, and every women’s championship. We can lay claim to them at any time. You look at the talent in each one of these athletes: Leila Grey, Top Flight, Scorpio Sky.
“You add 32 years of the Fallen Angel’s experience to guide them, we’ve made a team that is exponentially more than the sum of its parts. AEW, this IS Sky Flight Team. And with this team, the sky is no limit.” Then will this team take all the gold they can in a snap?

A big win for Mistico and he is undefeated in AEW! But that’s 1v1, and the Casino Gauntlet could end up a Triple Threat or more! Will Mistico be able to defy the odds and win big at- Wait, MJF is on the tron wearing Mistico’s mask! MJF claps to mock Mistico and says that’s all he does! Mistico claps like a circus seal because he’s a jabroni! And what’s this? This is the mask MJF ripped clean off Mistico’s stupid skull. MJF knows everyone is so excited for Mistico to go to the Casino Gauntlet to get in the way of MJF and MJF’s world title. Well, then Mistico has another thing coming. Mistico won’t get in because MJF is going to pin Mark Briscoe in three seconds of the bell!
But let’s just say Mistico does get in. MJF will just keep collecting Mistico’s masks until he has them all, leaving Mistico with no choice but to show the world his ugly face! MJF will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is Maxwell Jacob Friedman, and he is better than you, and you know it. The fans boo but Mistico says see you Saturday! Will MJF only get himself in trouble by stoking the flames?
Mark Briscoe speaks.
“Two days from now, the Casino Gauntlet match, and I’m coming to win. I don’t care who shows up, I’m coming to win. Been in the game 25 years now, it’s what I do. It’s business. But at this point, it’s become personal. MJF, you piece of s*it… Hey, I knew you was gonna invoke my brother’s name. I called you out on it before you even did it! I was hoping that I’d be numb to it. But y’know what? Been 24 hours, and every minute that goes by, I get more and more pissed off. Knowing that my sister-in-law, my nephew, my nieces, my mom and my dad were sitting there watching the TV while you disrespected my brother and disrespected my family.
“So Saturday… I told you what my plan is: to win. But Sunday… I gotta come back home to Delaware. And whether I win or not, I wanna look my family in the eyes and say, ‘I ain’t let that s*it fly.’ MJF… At this point… I have got to whoop your ass.” The Sussex County Chicken is deadly serious, but will he make sure if nothing else, MJF does NOT walk out of Texas the #1 contender?
AEW shares more footage from after Dynamite.
Renee Paquette says that was an insane start to AEW’s long week in Texas, and she brings Hangman in to talk about the chaos. Hangman says he probably should talk about it, just not with Renee. Hangman moves on to find Swerve’s locker room! Hangman pushes right through the door to find Ospreay, Swerve & Nana. Ospreay says please, let’s not do this just two days before All In! Swerve is upset Hangman is doing this right in his locker room. Hangman tells Ospreay he just needs two minutes. Ospreay isn’t so sure, but Swerve says it’s fine. Ospreay steps aside, but Hangman does thank Ospreay for everything.
Nana says he’s gonna get some coffee. Does Swerve want some? Swerve shakes his head no. Nana scoots out of the room, and Swerve chuckles. He knows what this is about. He knows why Hangman is here. Hangman is asking for help! Go ahead, ask him for help! It’s why he’s here, right? No, that’s not why. Hangman couldn’t even if he tried. But he is going into a suicide mission on Saturday, and he figured if he doesn’t say this now, he’ll never have the chance. Hangman just wanted to do what he should’ve done two years ago. Hangman takes a seat, puts the chain down, and Swerve also takes a seat to hear him out.
Hangman says The Bucks, Dynasty, and everything since, Hangman has had nothing to do with that. And he knows if the tables were turned, Hangman wouldn’t believe this either. Swerve knows all that. What’s his point? Hangman says what Swerve did to Hangman and his family… Hangman’s son still wakes up at night screaming, thinking he saw Swerve! And Hangman hates Swerve for that! He always will! But what Hangman did to Swerve… Swerve deserved that. And what upsets Hangman more is that Swerve knows it, too. Swerve knows he deserved that payback. Which is why Hangman regrets it.
Hangman just needs to know: Does Swerve regret what he did to Hangman? Swerve says if Hangman had asked him all this before Swerve became world champion, Swerve would’ve said “No.” He’d do it all over again. But after the world title, after main-eventing Wembley, after their brutal cage match, after Swerve losing things, people, matches, all of it…! Yeah, Swerve regrets it. Okay. Hangman stands up, and he says he’ll bring his family on Saturday. Not to the show, but like, before. Swerve says he’ll steer clear. Hope they enjoy the show. Hangman says he believes that. Hangman goes to leave, but Swerve has him wait.
Swerve says the house Hangman burned down. Swerve was planning to raise his kids in it. Have them grow up just like he did. Hell, Swerve pictured his grandchildren growing up in that house. But after thinking about it, maybe it was time to let go of the past. Hangman just says, “Yeah,” and takes his leave. Both men have a lot to think on. And Hangman also left the chain behind. With both men acknowledging their sins, can there be peace between AEW’s most vicious rivals?
Someone is storming out from the crowd?
The DEATH RIDERS are here, no music needed! And Jon Moxley grabs a mic to ask, “What the hell was that?!” The fans boo but Moxley asks what kinda pathetic crybaby stuff was that?! A Texas Death Match on Saturday, Hangman better get his head screwed on straight! That ain’t no cowboy he’s ever seen! Marina takes the mic to say Hangman ain’t no cowboy! He’s a p*ssy! A PUNK ASS B*TCH!! Moxley says he will give Hangman this: The smartest decision Hangman ever made was tell his family to NOT attend All In. The fans chant for “COWBOY SH*T!” and Moxley says yeah, they’ll see some cowboy s*it on Saturday!
Because the difference between Hangman and Moxley is that after Saturday, Moxley will make no apologies and have no regrets! 48 hours remain, Hangman, before your Texas Death! The Maniac storms his way back out of the arena, will nothing stop him from ending Hangman’s redemption story?

The AEW World Tag Team Championships will be on the line in a Triple Threat, and as it stands, both challenger teams have the advantage after The Patriarchy and #JetSpeed beat down Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin. However, they still have some beef of their own, as do their teammates. Will the Father Figure & his Prodigy son make it work with the Top Guys? Or will the Jet Runners be too fast and too fly to catch?
The teams sort out and Nick Wayne starts against Mike Bailey. They circle, the fans rally behind Speedball, and they tie up. Bailey powers Nick to a corner, lets off as the ref counts, but Nick turns things around! The ref reprimands and counts, and Nick lets off. Bailey dodges but then Nick narrowly avoids the roundhouse! FTR has Bailey back off and Bailey eggs Nick on. The fans rally, the two reset, and they tie up. Bailey wrenches an arm to a wristlock, but Nick pulls hair!

Turbo tags Knight, they hand off the wrench, but Dax pulls hair! Dax and Knight scrap, Knight ROCKS Nick, ROCKS Christian and ROCKS Cash! Knight hurries away, all eight men get in the ring! The fans fire up for the stare down, but Christian has his guys stand down. But then they sucker punch! The fans fire up as the brawl is on!

Backstage interview with Big Boom AJ.
Lexy Nair is with the returning internet darling, and knows that he vowed to wrestle at All In. He called out the entire Don Callis Family on social media, and he’s doing it again live on Collision! Callis may have a family, but so does Big Boom AJ! Big Justice & The Rizzler, come here! The Sons of Big Boom step in, but Lexy has to point out, they’re just kids. Doesn’t AJ need adult teammates? Big Justice agrees! They need an assortment! A collection! No, wait, A CONGLOMERATION! And in step Tomohiro Ishii & Hologram! They shake hands and are ready to go! But then the Don Callis Family walks in…
Rocky mockingly says this is so adorable! They’ll be big time memeing on the internet! Trent says AJ is an embarrassment, his children are an embarrassment, and AJ is not a pro-wrestler anymore. He’s just a man who eats cookies. If they want a match, then it is four of them (Rocky, Trent, Archer & Hechicero), but only three on Team AJ! Is this all they can conglomerate? WAIT! Kyle O’Reilly steps in! And he says that Rocky should remember himself, The Conglomeration is more a frame of mind, and it never left Kyle’s. So not only is he very eager to say “BOOM,” for one night only at All In, The Conglomeration is b-b-b-b-b-back! Also Kyle is rizzing a lot…
AJ says there it is! Bring the whole family to All In! Cuz AJ is bringing his, and they’re bringing the B-B-B-B-B-B-B-B-BOOM! That catchphrase sucks!! They all argue, but the point is clear, this could be quite the Zero Hour showdown! Will it be BOOM or DOOM in Globe Life Field?
FTR speaks.
Stokely, Cash & Dax regroup backstage, and Stoke says he has made a lot of mistakes in his career. The biggest one was trusting Christian Cage! But they’ll get to that later. Outrunners sure think they got one over on FTR! They probably think they’re the greatest tag team alive today! That is a lie! Zero Hour, they will settle the score once and for all! As far as the tag titles, FTR will be there and whatever happens happens. #TopGuysOut. Will there be no stopping these three from being the ones again?
Katsuyori Shibata VS Gabe Kidd!
It is a battle of teacher and student as The Wrestler takes on one of the meanest and most dangerous graduates from the LA Dojo who has been wanting this showdown for the better part of a year. But will the Mad Man prove he is #WarReady for anything? Or will Shibata prove there is still a lot left for Gabe to learn?
The moment Gabe is in the ring, he rushes Shibata! Shibata is ready with a BOOT! The bell rings, the forearms fly, and the fans fire up! Shibata fires a flurry, then UPPERCUTS! Gabe wobbles, but he BITES Shibata’s forehead! The ref counts, Gabe stops to whip corner to corner, and he runs up to LARIAT! The fans are torn but Gabe runs, only for Shibata to BOOT again! Shibata fires off forearms in the corner, he sits Gabe down, but Gabe bails out before Shibata can go corner to corner. The student knows his sensei’s moves well, but Shibata pursues! They go around the outside, and then Gabe CLOBBERS Shibata!
The fans are torn but Marina is ringside to nod approval. Gabe sits Shibata up, the fans chant “You Suck!” Gabe mockingly asks, “What now, coach?” Gabe puts Shibata in, soaks up some heat, but Shibata BOOTS him right down! The fans fire up as Shibata brushes himself off. Shibata goes out to fetch Gabe, then whips him hard into barriers! Shibata runs up and BOOTS Gabe down! The fans fire up for Shibata and he brings Gabe up. Gabe is a ragdoll so Shibata stomps him! Shibata puts Gabe in, stomps him around, but Gabe CLAWS Shibata’s eyes! The ref counts, Gabe fires forearms, but Gabe stops as the ref counts again.
Gabe huffs ‘n’ puffs and runs corner to corner, HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! Gabe uses Shibata’s own move, then sits cross-legged to mock him more! The fans boo but Gabe seethes while Collision goes picture in picture.
Gabe storms around while soaking up the heat. Gabe goes to Shibata, drags him up, and SMACKS him back down! Gabe then steps over Shibata so he can fishhook Shibata’s face! The ref reprimands, Gabe stops, and Shibata writhes while clutching his face. Gabe paces around, stands Shibata back up, and CHOSP! Gabe talks trash, pie faces Shibata, but Shibata gets in Gabe’s face. Gabe ROCKS Shibata, ROCKS him again, but Shibata just nods! Gabe CHOPS Shibata down, covers, ONE!! Shibata is tougher than that but Gabe keeps right on him. Gabe drags Shibata up, ROCKS him with another right, then CLUBS him down!
Gabe stomps Shibata, does squats just to mock him, but then Shibata sits up. Gabe KICKS Shibata, but Shibata stands. Shibata PALM STRIKES and Gabe drops to a knee! Shibata looms over Gabe, brings him up, but Gabe SMACKS Shibata! And SMACKS again! Shibata SMACKS bac! Gabe DECKS Shibata, covers, TWO! Shibata stays in this but he clutches his neck, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Gabe has Shibata in the corner. Gabe pie faces then CHOPS! Shibata scowls but Gabe CHOPS again! Shibata turns things around to CHOP, CHOP, and CHOP! Gabe sits down but Shibata CHOPS more! Shibata goes corner to corner, HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! The fans fire up and Shibata brings Gabe up to HALF HATCH! Cover, TWO! Shibata clamps on with a SLEEPER! Gabe fights up, CLAWS Shibata’s eyes, then switches to SAIDO! Gabe hurries to cover, TWO! Gabe then suplexes to BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Gabe huffs ‘n’ puffs and wags his finger. Gabe reels Shibata in, but Shibata resists the lift!
Gabe lets go and he CHOPS Shibata on the back! Gabe pie faces Shibata while the fans go nuts. Gabe CHOPS again, but Shibata just gets mad! Gabe sits down and he eggs Shibata on! Shibata SLAPS Gabe on his bald head! Then CHOPS away on his back! The fans fire up as Shibata KICKS and CLUBS and UPPERCUTS! Gabe BOOTS back! Shibata runs to BOOT Gabe! Gabe CHOPS, Shibata ROCKS, Gabe LARIATS! Cover, ONE?!?! The fans fire up, Gabe runs, btu into a LARIAT!! The fans fire up with Shibata and he brings Gabe up. Shibata wrenches, waistlocks, but Gabe fights with elbows! Gabe ROCKS Shibata with a right!
Gabe talks trash, but Shibata SMACKS Gabe, then ripcords to CHOP! The fans fire up and Shibata brings Gabe up again. Shibata KICKS Gabe down! Then he clamps on the SLEEPER!! Gabe endures, but here comes Yuta! Shibata BOOTS Yuta down! The ref reprimands Yuta, but Gabe LOW BLOWS Shibata! PILEDRIVER!! Cover, Gabe wins!
Winner: Gabe Kidd, by pinfall
After getting that assist, Gabe is definitely a Death Rider now! Will they pull these same tricks to take those AEW World Trios Championships off The Opps? Wait, Kris Statlander is here? The Galaxy’s Greatest makes her way to ringside, high-fives some fans, and then smiles as she joins commentary for tonight’s main event! Will Kris get some good scouting notes on some potential Women’s Casino Gauntlet opponents?
8 Woman Tag: Thunder Rosa, Queen Aminata, Willow Nightingale & Mina Shirakawa VS Athena, Thekla, Megan Bayne & Julia Hart!
On top of the Women’s Casino Gauntlet for All In, the team captains are still gearing up for their ROH Women’s World Championship match! Will La Mera Mera be ready to take that title off the Fallen Goddess? Or will the American Joshi, the Minion Overlord, the ROH Gatekeeper be primed for Supercard of Honor?
Collision returns as the Fighting Gravure Idol makes her entrance, followed by the One True African Queen, and Thunder Rosa herself. They join the Babe with the Power in the ring, then the Megasus, the Toxic Spider, the Princess of the Black Throne, and lastly, Athena. Billie Starkz, Skye Blue & Penelope Ford all follow, so seven stars in all. Perhaps we can call them Pleiades? Either way, the teams sort out, and Mina starts against Athena. Texas cheers on Athena as she and Mina circle. They tie up, Athena arm-drags, but then Mina arm-drags back. Athena dodges as swing, Mina dodges a swing, and Mina slides to do her shimmy.

Tag to Willow and the fans fire up as Willow fires forearms! Willow bumps Athena off buckles, fires LARIATS in the corner again and again, and the fans count all the way to TEN! Willow snap suplexes Athena, covers, TWO! Willow keeps Athena from her corner, tags Rosa, then bumps Athena off Rosa’s boot.
Rosa brings Athena around, she and Willow DOUBLE- NO, Athena fights the suplex, slips free, and tags in Megan! Megan DOUBLE LARIATS Willow & Rosa! Megan whips Willow into Rosa in the corner! Then she runs and DOUBLE SPLASHES them! Athena adds on, handspring FOREARM! Then Megan fireman’s carries Willow! Rosa DECKS Athena, runs up on Megan, but Megan scoops her, too! Kris says she’s done this same move before, no big deal. FALL AWAY SAMAON DROP COMBO! Megan kips up, the fans fire up, and Athena says they’ve got this!

Kris admits, Willow is a great competitor. But then Billie, Skye & Penelope attack! The back-up squad makes sure Rosa’s team isn’t getting to celebrate the win! Skye & Julia mug Willow, Athena and Rosa brawl out of the ring, but TAYJAY appears! They’ve been part of these All-Star matches, so they want their pound of flesh! The brawl is on between TayJay and Skye-Hart, but then Megan & Penelope get in there! Refs rush out here, but the fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” And then Kris steps into the ring to stare down Megan! But then Penelope jumps on Kris! Megan is amused, but TayMay jumps on her!
It is utter chaos as Collision closes out! Will it be Kris, Megan, or another that takes the Women’s Casino Gauntlet for their own? Will Athena keep her ROH Women’s World Championship? Or will Thunder bring an end to the forever reign?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision as another great go-home to All In. Great opening Six Man of Paragon VS Fletcher & Roppongi Vice, and Paragon winning indicates that Fletcher could be taking the TNT Championship. Good promo from Big Boom AJ and sons that then led to the Conglomeration VS Don Callis Family. I almost thought this would be Orange Cassidy’s return moment, but I appreciate O’Reilly wanting in on that. I feel like this has to be a win for Big Boom AJ and The Conglomeration, especially with Hologram on the team and his win streak still climbing. When is Hologram gonna get a title?
Very good promo from Scorpio Sky & Christopher Daniels to hype up their new faction, and they’ll certainly make moves on the belts as soon as next week. Great match from Mistico VS Mortos, great win for Mistico, and then a good promo from MJF. Mark Briscoe again proves he is highly underrated as a promo guy, him switching tone to be so scary serious was great stuff. I feel like Briscoe is going to go so hard after MJF that while he keeps MJF from winning, someone else wins.
Hangman talking with Swerve was awesome stuff. Not even so much that they had energy in the promo, but that this happened at all. This is a great sign that maybe, just maybe, Swerve helps Hangman when The Death Riders work to stack the deck. A lot will have to interplay with how they handle Bucks VS Swerve & Ospreay, EVP Titles VS Title Opportunities, but I feel like Swerve should want to screw Moxley over more than he wants to ruin things for Hangman. And as I said, it’s more intriguing and entertaining if The Bucks have to deal with being “regular people” again.
Great 8 Man Tag of JetRunners VS FTRIARCHY, and a great win for the Faces. However, that makes me think JetSpeed is taking the loss in the AEW World Tag Team Championship Triple Threat. It would be clever if Christian lets Knight & Bailey handle Lashley & Shelton, much like what we saw last night in that beatdown, and then Patriarchy snatches a win. Good promo from Stokely to give us Outrunners VS FTR for Zero Hour, that’ll be great stuff because Zero Hour always does great stuff. And from there, FTR can easily pivot towards the tag titles, no matter who comes out on top.
Great group promo from Death Riders, and awesome match from Gabe VS Shibata. But with the trios title set, Yuta helping cheat the win makes some sense. The Death Riders look to lose everything they’ve worked for, should Moxley lose the world title. And great main event with yet another All Star Tag, and naturally, we get a chaotic brawl to close out. Much as we saw from NXT and their Women’s Division, this was that classic battle royal go-home move. Kris and Megan are starting, makes me wonder if either is the winner because of how focused they are on each other, paralleling MJF and Mark Briscoe.
At the same time, this stuff with Kris and Death Riders, it’d work so well if Marina helped Kris win by clearing out competition so Kris can pin, say, former friend Willow. Then there’s intrigue of Kris feuding with Willow on the way to her title match.
My Score: 8.9/10
