The Learning Tree wanted to be a mentor to The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil, but really ended up an overbearing know-it-all.

AEW “American” Championship: MJF VS Will Ospreay!
Maxwell Jacob Friedman insists that he is an American Hero, that AEW deserves both a champion and championship that represents “The Only Country That Matters,” and that this match, MJF VS Ospreay Part 2, is one of the biggest matches you could possibly get. Well, one out of three isn’t bad. But MJF also likes to say it is facts over feelings. Then will MJF have to accept the fact that he is not the best wrestler in the world? Or will he find a way to survive the Aerial Assassin?
Speaking of assassins, Ospreay has a breakdance troupe help plug the next Assassin’s Creed video game, Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, as well as narration from Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Ezio has heard the legend of the rogue assassin. Born of this very soil, its fog in his skin, and its way of life in his soul. It is here where Ospreay found his calling. That calling led him to the Land of the Rising Sun, and in following the steps of Japanese legends, he took to the skies and became a warrior elevated above them all. Greater challenge awaited him in the west, a new continent to conquer, and yet… He has lost his course.
The weapons he possesses have been forsaken, “plagued by the crimes of a false patriot. Doubt clouds your mission. But, on this night, where your journey began, you must remember what made you. For all the paths you have traveled, all who you have defeated, now more than ever before, seek the wisdom of our creed revealed in these words: We work in the dark to serve the light. We are assassins.” With that, Ospreay makes his entrance, ready to return to his roots! And he gets a lot of pyro! As for MJF, he has various young ladies waving the stars and stripes as he walks out in an Uncle Sam Ric Flair fusion get-up.
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who brings this title home!

Darby hits top turnbuckle and then falls to the floor! Darby clutches his hip, the fans cheer “A E DUB! A E DUB!” and Jack goes looking for more plunder. Jack has scotch tape! Jack uses the tape to bind Darby’s hands! Jack CLUBS Darby over and over, then THROWS him into railing! Darby staggers, Jack takes a fan’s drink and SPLASHES Darby with it! Jack CLUBS Darby down again, and Darby is busted open!
Jack drags Darby to the coffin, but Darby RAMS into him! Darby staggers away, Jack runs up, btu Darby sends him into steel steps! Darby goes up to COFFIN SPLASH! Down goes Jack and the fans fire up! Darby snarls through the crimson mask as he drags Jack into the coffin! Jack blocks with his legs, then BOOTS Darby away! Jack escapes the coffin, soaks up more heat, and then goes up the ramp. Darby chases Jack down! Darby grabs Jack’s hair, Jack throws body shots! They go up the ramp, Jack gets Darby up and he POWERBOMBS Darby! Darby writhes and Jack takes Darby’s belt off him! Jack uses that studded strap to LASH Darby!
Jack uses Darby’s belt to bind the legs! Jack mocks Darby hopping around, and then scuffs him! Darby teeters at the edge of the ramp, so Jack THROWS him down! Darby crashes down through a table!! The fans lose their minds again while Doc Sampson checks Darby in the wreckage. Jack fetches his body bag and he brings it over. Jack opens it up, drags Darby from the wreckage and into the bag! Jack zips it up, then he stands on Darby’s face before dragging him back to the coffin! The fans are torn but Jack lifts the lid. Jack drags Darby up to dump him in! Darby struggles, finds the opening, and he sits up! Darby’s like a zombie!
The fans fire up as Darby wriggles, so Jack KNEES Darby down! Jack SLAMS the lid shut, Jack wins!
Winner: Jack Perry (still AEW TNT Champion)
Sacrifice? Hard to say. But Jack showed Darby how vicious and cruel he can be! He calls to the back, and The Bucks walk out with a huge canister! The fans boo, we know that’s full of gasoline! Er, petrol for the UK! Jack is all smiles now because he opens the lid, and Nick just DUMPS the gasoline all over Darby! Then the rest is poured on the lid! Jack gets a lighter out! But wait! The lights go out!? The rain, the lightning, it’s STIIIIIIING~! The Icon may have retired, but he wasn’t about to let this go down! Matt & Nick are furious, too, because they “retired” him at Revolution! Sting storms in, bat in hand, and he stares The Elite down!
Matt runs up, he gets hit! Nick runs up, he gets hit! Jack SMACKS Sting with a chair, and that just pisses Sting off! The fans tell Jack he messed up, so Jack runs away! Sting grabs Matt, then he grabs Nick, DOUBLE SCORPION DEAETH DROP!! The fans are thunderous as Sting saves his friend from going up in flames! But with Jack still the Face of TNT, who will be next to step to The Scapegoat? As for Darby, will he just have to refocus and prepare for Grand Slam in September?
AEW World Championship Title VS Career: Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS Bryan Danielson!
This match is not just a main event world title match. This match is not just a story of two men’s legacies connecting. And this match is not just a historic moment. This match is going to be career-defining! Bryan has said that one way or another, his in-ring career is coming to an end, to the point that if he loses, it ends tonight! But The Realest says there won’t be a choice, he’s slaying The American Dragon once and for all! Will Swerve grow his legacy by ending Bryan’s? Or will this simply be where Bryan reinvigorates his mind, body and love of wrestling?
Naturally, the only song Bryan could make his entrance to tonight is “THE FINAL COUNTDOWN~!” Bryan has Brie and their children right at ringside for moral support, and all of Wembley Stadium is chanting “YES! YES! YES!” But then for Swerve’s entrance, DJ Whoo Kid is here! He asks if The UK is in the house! Then one question: Whose House? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Prince Nana then leads the way as “Swerve VIII” enters, adorned in ring gear that commemorates the icons he ripped apart to become champion. Then Swerve has Flash Garments and a slew of other icons rapping his theme’s remix live and in person!
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and the stakes are as high as they can be as we see who is truly THE best today.
The bell rings and the fans are thunderous already! Swerve grins as he stares down with Bryan, and the two circle. The fans continue with “YES! YES! YES!” and the two tie up. Swerve headlocks, hits a takeover, but Bryan headscissors. Swerve kips free and CHOPS! Bryan CHOSP back! Swerve scowls, Bryan CHOPS again! Bryan headlocks, hits a takeover, but Swerve headscissors. Bryan kips free, the CHOPS go back and forth again! The fans fire up as the two go forehead to forehead. But then Swerve glances at Brie. So Bryan fires forearms! Bryan whips, Swerve reverses and hip tosses!
Swerve gator rolls Bryan, but Bryan knees the suplex to WRING Swerve’s arm out! The fans fire up while Swerve clutches that shoulder. Bryan KICKS the arm, drags Swerve up and wrenches to wrangle Swerve. Swerve fights the omoplata, and slips through to get both legs! CATAPULT, and Bryan goes up and out! Swerve hurries to the apron to BOOT! Bryan falls, Swerve steps back in, and then Swerve builds speed! Swerve handsprings but Bryan avoids the attack! Bryan WRECKS Swerve with a dropkick, then he resets to SPRINGBOARD CANNONBALL! The fans are thunderous with “YES! YES! YES!” as Bryan hits the mark!
Bryan puts Swerve in, climbs a corner, and he FLYING KNEES the arm! Swerve writhes again, but Bryan isolates the arm to STOMP it! Swerve goes to a corner, Bryan CHOPS, then KICKS! And CHOPS! And KICKS! Bryan whips, Swerve reverses, but Bryan goes up and over! Bryan keeps moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Swerve scoops to BACKBREAKER! Gator roll, suplex, and SLAM! The fans cheer while both men are down! Nana keeps the “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve scowls as Bryan goes to a corner. Swerve storms up, but Bryan boots! Swerve blocks, puts the leg in ropes and UPPERCUTS!
Swerve goes side to side to SHOTGUN the leg! Bryan falls, Swerve says that’s just the first. Swerve goes to Bryan, brings him up, wrenches an arm and arm-drags Bryan down! Swerve drops KNEES on the arm! Bryan writhes, Swerve says that’s two now. Swerve goes back to Bryan, whips him to a corner hard, and Bryan falls back! Swerve then goes up a corner, but Bryan ROCKS him! Swerve hops down, he fires a forearm back, but Bryan CHOPS! Swerve SLAPS Bryan, Bryan SLAPS back, the fans fire up as it is a SLAP fight with the ropes between them! Bryan climbs up to HANGING TRIANGLE HOLD!
The ref counts, but Swerve drags Bryan up and over, then fireman’s carries! Bryan still pulls the bad arm, Swerve tries to shake free, and in doing so, Bryan’s feet hit the ref in the face! The ref staggers away, and Swerve calls to Nana! Nana has the ring bell!? DEATH VALLEY DRIVER onto the bell!!! Between that and the apron, fans lose their minds over what Swerve just did to Bryan! Swerve rolls in, and he soaks up the heat. The ref only knows Bryan is down, so he starts a ring count. Nana keeps the “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” going, and we see Bryan is busted open from somewhere on the back or side of his head!
Bryan sits up, clutching his neck and shoulder, another concerning area. The count is 5 of 10 but Bryan still struggles. Bryan flops over at 8, but he manages to spring in at 9! Swerve asks why Bryan even bothered, and then he stomps Bryan! “Why we gotta do this? His family’s watching, why’s he gotta do this to his family?” Swerve then grins as he goes up the corner, to FALLING UPPERCUT! Swerve hits the Griddy but the fans boo. Swerve then adds insult to injury as he has Bryan’s wrists. Swerve looms over Bryan, but then realizes he can do Bryan one better. Swerve drags Bryan out of the ring, and right over to the Danielsons!
Swerve DRAGON STOMPS away on Bryan, and Brie covers the children’s eyes! But Swerve says, “Isn’t this what you want? You want Daddy to come home, I’m giving that to you!” Swerve says they can thank him later. Nana does his dance then moves on. Swerve drags Bryan up, the ring count climbs, and Swerve pushes Bryan in. Swerve then has Bryan against the corner, and he smears Bryan’s blood into his own face! The fans tell Swerve he’s sick as he punches down on Bryan. Swerve stands Bryan up, hoists him to the very top, and then he climbs up behind him. Swerve goes to the very top, brings Bryan up, and SUPER OLYMPIC SLAMS!!
Bryan flounders, and Swerve also suffers a bit, but it is Birdie who is in tears seeing her dad like this. Swerve rises, goes up, KILL- NO, Bryan catches the legs to roll through! REGAL STRETCH!! Swerve endures, pries at the hands, and he bends fingers! Bryan lets the legs go, Swerve straight arm- NO, Bryan slips free to waistlock! Swerve switches, O’Conner but Bryan rolls through The UP KICK hits, but Bryan comes back to LARIAT!! The fans are thunderous while both men are down! The fans rally as hard as they can as both men stand. Swerve UPPERCUTS, UPPERCUTS, and then UPPER- NO, Bryan backslides! TWO!!
Swerve stands, Bryan ducks ‘n’ dodges to LEPAING LARIAT! The fans fire up as Swerve goes to a corner. Bryan huffs ‘n’ puffs and rises again, and the fans rally even harder! Bryan runs in corner to corner to DROPKICK! Bryan keeps going, to DROPKICK! And then- SOMERSAULT COMPLETE SHOT from Swerve! Cover, TWO!! Bryan survives but Swerve eggs him on. Swerve drags Bryan up, half nelsons, and then BIG- NO, Bryan turns Big Pressure into a victory roll, TWO! Bryan avoids the House Call to hook the arms! Swerve fights up, so Bryan TIGER SUPLEXES! Swerve tumbles, Bryan huffs ‘n’ puffs again, and the fans rally!
Swerve rises, Nana coaches him, but Bryan stands to KICK! And KICK! “YES! YES! YES!” Swerve takes KICK after KICK, then Bryan winds up, to BUZZSAW! Swerve goes to a corner and the fans are thunderous! Birdie is fired up now, and Bryan KICKS Swerve again and again in the corner! Bryan puts Swerve up top, climbs up, and has the arms chicken winged! SUPER TIGER PLEX?!? The fans are electric and Bryan crawls over! Cover, TWO!!! Swerve survives, but Bryan has a wild look in his eyes! Bryan says time to kick his head in!! Bryan grabs the wrists, for the DRAGON STOMPS! “YES! YES! YES!”
Bryan then flips Swerve over, hooks the arms, CATTLE MUTILATION!! Swerve endures the classic, and he fights around. Swerve powers up to lift Bryan, and he flips those arm hooks for a VERTABREAKER!!! Both men are down and the ref has Doc Sampson check Bryan! The neck was a concern for Bryan, and that move is on par with the Tiger Driver. Nana is sure something is broken, but Swerve tells the medics to back off! Swerve wants to keep his promise of breaking Bryan, so he goes up top! K I L L S T O M P!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Bryan survives and the fans are going wild! Swerve is furious, and he takes aim. HOUSE CALL!!
But one is not enough for Swerve! He dares Bryan to sit up, and Bryan does sit up, but in a daze. HOUSE CALL!!! The fans rally as hard as they can for Bryan and boo Swerve just as hard, but Swerve won’t stop. Bryan reaches out for his family, and Swerve just laughs. “Whose House?” HOUSE CALL!!!! Cover, TWO?!?!?!? HOW?!?!? Swerve argues with the ref but Wembley Stadium is erupting again! Swerve KICKS Bryan to mock the Yet Kicks! And KICKS! KICKS! KICKS! But these “Swerve Kicks” just piss Bryan off!! Bryan rises, looking at Brie, Birdie & Buddy, and telling them, “I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!”
Swerve KICKS, KICKS, KICKS, but Bryan just takes them again and again! Then he SLAPS Swerve!! And SLAPS him! And KICKS, KICKS, KICKS! “YES!! YES!! YES!!” Swerve blocks a kick, but Bryan catches the arm to hit a takedown! TRIANGLE HOLD! ELBOW after ELBOW, and then Bryan PULLS on the arm! But Swerve deadlifts Bryan, only for Bryan to slip free! SHOULDER CAPTURE SUPLEX!! The fans are red hot as Bryan joins in on the “YES! YES! YES!” BUSAIKU KNEE!!! Swerve hits buckles, and just brushes that off!? Swerve laughs, then hits a HOUSE CALL!!!! Swerve hauls Bryan up, full nelsons, and BIG PRESSURE DRIVER!!! Cover, TWO?!?!?!?
Swerve is losing his mind, but so are the fans! It’s just in two different ways! The ref defends his count, it’s just that Bryan will not give in! Swerve stalks Bryan as the fans are thunderous with “LET’S GO, BRYAN!” But then Swerve gets them all to boo by mocking the “Yes!” hands. The fans say “NO! NO! NO!” as Swerve goes to a corner. But wait, HANGMAN PAGE is here!? He TOSSES security, and he glares at Swerve! Hangman SHOVES Nana down, more security rushes in, but The Cowboy’s rage is not so easily contained! Swerve taunts Hangman as he is dragged from ringside, but turns into a BUSAIKU KNEE!!!!! Cover, TWO?!?!?!
Swerve survives another shot, but this one hurt a lot more than the first! The fans chant “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for giving us this epic battle! Bryan and Swerve knuckle lock as they rise up, and they fire forearms! “This is Awesome!” as the shots go back and forth, no guard! Swerve KICKS, Bryan KICKS, repeat! “YES! YES!” Swerve RISING HEADBUTTS, then HEADBUTTS again! Bryan wants the arm, Swerve slips around, BIG- NO, Bryan arm-drags! Swerve mule kicks, SLAPS, and BOOTS! SOMERSAULT- BUSAIKU KNEE!!! Wembley is going to explode at this rate! Bryan hits a BLINDSIDE BUSAIKU KNEE!!!!
And then Bryan omoplatas! LEBELL LOCK!!!! Swerve endures, flails, reaches out, claws at the grip, and he pries it open! So Bryan just bends and SNAPS Swerve’s fingers! RINGS OF SATURN!!!! Swerve flails, BUT TAPS! BRYAN WINS!!!!
Winner: Bryan Danielson, by submission (NEW AEW World Champion)
The Final Countdown plays again, because this is not the final time we see The American Dragon in action! Brie, Birdie & Buddy all cheer from ringside, and Blackpool Combat Club comes out here to join in! Wembley is roaring with emotion, confetti flies in, and pyro flies as Bryan lifts up the world title! Bryan’s legacy continues, once again adorned with gold, how much more amazing will his final run become?
My Thoughts:
An awesome All In, though I really wish AEW would do less overall matches. They quite literally just threw a bunch of people into that 16 Man Tag, I’m a little surprised it wasn’t just a battle royal. At the same time, they still made it a very fun match, mostly from the high spots from the high flyers who weren’t put in the ladder match. Great Mixed Tag, and I am surprised Willow & Ishii won. I was sure Stat & Stoke would cheat to win, but maybe Willow will go with something No Disqualification that is still reasonable. After all, the two of them were a great tag team in Street Fights, something like that would be a fitting end to this feud.
Pretty good 10 Man Tag to wrap Zero Hour, but I figured Team Texas would win. But nothing was really settled, it’ll take the title matches to do that, and those will likely be on ROH TV and/or PPVs, or maybe a Battle of the Belts special. And a great bonus thing with Saraya & Harley talking down to the fans, and then Jamie Hayter making her return was awesome. This probably could’ve been a moment on the main show, if only because more fans in the live audience would’ve seen that. But being a Zero Hour moment, plenty of people still saw it for free on YouTube. Jamie VS Saraya will be a great feud to get Jamie back on TV, and she’ll surely find her way to a title soon after.
Awesome London Ladders match, and I am genuinely surprised Pac’s team won. It does give Pac his moment, and he technically now joins BCC because they’re champions together, which is the oddest part to me. Maybe, just maybe, if there weren’t rumors of Lucha Brothers leaving AEW and going to WWE, maybe this would’ve been Death Triangle returning to prominence. But hey, still cool for Pac in the grand scheme of things. A little surprised by the order of these matches to follow, which feels like something I said the last time AEW did a PPV. But seeing as how they booked the Casino Gauntlet, I can see why they wanted to give Christian Cage time (both kayfabe and shoot) to recover and be ready for that match.
Toni VS Mariah was great, and I appreciate the return of Luther and the use of Mariah May’s mother being upset over Mariah’s evil attitude. And despite how the go-home math had been adding up, it was the right call for Mariah to win out, because that is the All About Eve plot parallel they’ve been going for. Mina didn’t seem as upset by how Mariah won, maybe we see those two spend time together again. Mina is even Rev-Pro Women’s Champion now after a show the other night, so they can use that in story as well.
Another really good Jericho FTW Championship match with the mystery bag gag returning. Cricket balls are quite literally solid items to be using, but I did like that “HI GUYS” was on the cricket bat. Hook winning was the right move, especially with Taz getting his moment. But ironically, would Jericho not come back for more? Hook losing was what would get him away from the “Jericho Vortex,” who knows what happens next. Great Triple Threat for the tag titles, but I figured Bucks were winning. They used all sorts of shenanigans so of course they won, but what a great surprise that Grizzled Young Veterans are All Elite. They’ll be a nice, fresh piece of the tag division, especially if Lucha Bros really are leaving, and I can’t wait to see what GYV does on their way to a title match.
Back to Casino Gauntlet, everything about it until the end was amazing. Okada being in it from the start, Nigel coming out of retirement, ZSJ showing up as a surprise, Ricochet also showing up for his AEW debut, and just the general action and chemistry of all parts involved. But who TK chose to win is THE one thing about tonight I just don’t like. Why have Luchasaurus assert that he IS Luchasaurus if he isn’t also breaking away from Christian Cage. We have been waiting for literal MONTHS, and TK just teases things rather than committing. Luchasaurus should’ve made sure Christian lost, and someone else (Hangman) should’ve won.
Awesome American/International Championship match, but Ospreay having product placement win entrance was a clear sign. Well, that and the math from Dynamite. But anyway, we also got a great surprise return from Daniel Garcia, and Ospreay DID use Tiger Driver 91 as the finish. No more American Championship, we’re back to International Championship, and Ospreay VS Pac will be a great match for All Out, but now that Pac is trios champ, and also because Ospreay isn’t just going to lose a belt two weeks later, ain’t no way Ospreay loses in Chicago. Garcia VS MJF is going to be a great match, too, probably something really vicious for All Out.
Mone VS Britt was really good stuff, a little slow at the beginning, but it was hard to follow everything we’ve gotten by this point. Things finally got going when Britt hit that super headlock takeover, that was really cool. But as I figured, Mone won. It was in part because Kamille kept saving her, but Mone still put things together on her own to win. Mone has any number of people she can face next, and we still have to see what Heel Shida will do. Great TNT Championship coffin match, and I figured Jack would win. The Elite wanting to light Darby on fire bringing out Sting was really cool, I didn’t think we’d ever see him even on screen again. Jack also has any number of possibilities for story, and Darby’s fine, he has Grand Slam coming up.
Speaking of which, a truly awesome main event, both men having a form of win entrance, but clearly Bryan’s was stronger. All great story stuff, all great action stuff, and of course Bryan bled. Been awhile since someone’s used a ring bell as a weapon so driving Bryan onto one was clever stuff. I was saying on Wednesday that, like Sting, Bryan is definitely someone who can defy the usual math, so great to see Bryan win here. And Hangman of course wanted to go after Swerve, it would’ve just been better if he was attempting a cash-in and Nana gets in his way long enough for Swerve to hit Hangman and keep it from happening. So what if it’d be something WWE does? What other reason did AEW have to put the MITB cash-in stipulation on that contract?
But all that said, amazing to see Bryan win out and become champion. With Pac kind of being a substitute for Moxley, BCC has gold all up and down, this final stretch for Bryan is going to be great stuff. Darby is set for Grand Slam, Christian might want All Out, or even snipe whatever happens for All Out, this will be a lot of fun.

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring!
He welcomes us to Dynamite tonight in El Paso, and he welcomes out the 2025 Men’s Owen Hart Cup winner, Hangman Adam Page! The fans fire up as The Blackhat Cowboy walks out, King of Harts belt around his waist, and Schiavone brings up the great response from the fans. Hangman won The Owen in a dramatic classic on Sunday. The fans cheer, “You Deserve It!” as Hangman takes the mic. Hangman says, “Triumph. Triumph in life is fleeting, it’s momentary. You’re on top of the world for the night, and you wake up in the morning, and the moment you realize has passed you. But so is defeat.
“And in the past two years, and if I’m completely honest with myself, in the past three years, that is something that I let myself lose sight of. Because what matters is not the win, it is not the loss, it is what you decide to do with it that matters!” The fans cheer that! Hangman says at Double or nothing, two men entered the ring, and they both knew one would leave defeated. So before Hangman continues, he will say this to Will Ospreay. “Thank you. Thank you for the fight of my life! Thank you for reminding me why I decided to do this in the first place! And thank you for dispelling any notion that i had that you could not be the type of man to carry this company forward, because you can be!”
The fans cheer and chant for “Ospreay! Ospreay!” Hangman then says, while one tasted defeat, the other would taste victory. But he cannot relish in it! This moment is temporary and fleeting. Hangman will not hold this title, carry it or defend it. There will be another Owen Hart Cup, there will be another King of Harts. For now, Hangman returns this belt to AEW. Schiavone takes custody of the belt, and Hangman says he could stay out here all night and tell you how much this all truly means to him. But now, he must look forward to the one thing that for him, this has always been about: THE AEW World Championship!
The fans cheer that, and Hangman says that title has been the prize, the accomplishment, and the responsibility he has chased from the very moment we saw these three letters together for the first time. The fans chant “A E DUB! A E DUB!” Hangman says for seven MONTHS, that title has been hidden from the world, locked away in a briefcase. The fans boo, but Hangman says to him, that title was to be a shining light! A beacon to show the world what these three letters meant! It was about competition! About creativity! Compassion! Passion! And human dignity with which we all treat each other! That is what this is about!
The fans cheer more, and Hangman says on his first day in AEW, he told all of us, both here tonight and watching at home, that while he was here, we would be his boss. Tonight, he makes a promise. In seven weeks, here in Texas, Hangman will win the AEW World Championship! He will free it from the briefcase! He will hold it above his head for all the world to see! He will carry it and defend it with every ounce of his being, and that is a promise he will keep! But then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Hangman is stunned, but here comes The Realest! Swerve steps into the ring to stare Hangman down, and Schiavone steps aside.
Swerve says, “I bet you wanna know why I’m here. So allow me to educate you and the fine people of El Paso, Texas why I’m here.” Swerve signals to the tron, and we flashback to April 9th of this year. Nick Jackson was explaining why The Young Bucks went and cost Swerve Strickland the AEW World Championship. They did it for their “good friend,” Hangman Page! Hangman wanted this! Swerve could not be world champion again, and The Bucks did that for him! They do not forget who their friends are! They love him, and they know he loves them. The fans boo and Swerve says he was looking at the same opportunity Hangman conveniently has now.
At Dynasty, the main event, Swerve had Moxley, he had the match won! And then so conveniently, The Bucks show up, who Swerve hadn’t bothered with since Blood & Guts, and they cost Swerve. But y’know who else was in the ring that night? Hangman Page. It is so funny how Hangman has his path to the title off Swerve’s loss. Swerve calls collusion! Hangman wants to make promises to the people of Texas? Let’s talk about a promise Hangman made. Hangman told Swerve to his face, in front of the world, that Hangman would never let Swerve be AEW World Champion again.
So Swerve is here now, staring Hangman down man to man, and he will ask Hangman, so don’t lie to him. Did Hangman do this? The fans chant “Tell The Truth! Tell The Truth!” Hangman says, “Well, dumbass… At Dynasty, I locked my eyes on you. Then I locked my eyes on Jon Moxley. And for one God forsaken second, I even thought about helping you. Swerve, if I had wanted to cost you that match, I would have done it myself to your face, because I have done it before.” The fans are torn, but Swerve says, “Sounds good, but you’re still full of sh*t.” The two jaw at each other while the fans rally up, but here comes Ospreay!
The fans cheer as the Aerial Assassin makes his way to the ring, and he has Swerve and Hangman back up. The fans are losing their minds seeing all three guys together. Ospreay borrows Swerve’s mic, and he looks to Hangman. The fans chant “BRUV! BRUV!” Ospreay then looks to Swerve, and Ospreay says he hates getting involved in Swerve’s business. Swerve has looked after Ospreay since he was 20 years old, he’s like a big brother. “But you’re wrong about him.” Ospreay defends Hangman, saying you learn a lot about someone getting in the ring with them when the stakes are high. And stakes couldn’t get any higher on Sunday.
On Sunday, Ospreay left it all in the ring with Hangman, and he has never felt more defeated in his entire life. Hangman had an important decision to make. He walked up the ramp, turned back, picked Ospreay up, and he shook Ospreay’s hand like a man. Ospreay looked in Hangman’s eyes, and he could see that Hangman cares about AEW. It is funny, because Ospreay had that same feeling when he lost to Swerve last year and then did the same thing. Swerve picked Ospreay up. Look around. The fans cheer, and Ospreay tells them both, “People are starting to believe in us again. I hate saying this to you, because I love you… But it is not you. I thought it was me, and it’s not me. It’s HIM!”
The fans cheer, and Ospreay wants Swerve to look at him. They have one shot at this. And they can make this easier on Hangman if they all work together. Swerve, Ospreay, Hangman- Swerve SLAPS the mic down! Ospreay wants Swerve to calm it down but Swerve says he will never work with Hangman, never trust Hangman, and never forgive Hangman! Swerve storms off and Ospreay is disappointed. The fans boo, but Ospreay tells Hangman to let that go. Hangman says he will work with Ospreay, but he will not work with Swerve either. Hangman storms off now, but will these bitter enemies ever realize this is bigger than them?
The Death Riders arrive.
Claudio parks the truck, and everybody spills out of the back. Moxley leads the way for Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, and even Gabe Kidd. Moxley says, “Welcome to Dynamite.” They step into the building, find their way to the crowd, and they’re ready to redeem themselves from losing Anarchy in the Arena. But will they tear up Swerve’s allies to send a message? Or will this conglomeration come out on top?
Mixed Six Tag: Gabe Kidd, Jon Moxley & Marina Shafir VS Mark Briscoe, “Speedball” Mike Bailey & Willow Nightingale!
The trios sort out and the War Dog for hire starts against the Sussex County Chicken. The bell rings and the two run to DOUBLE LARIAT! They fire forearms back and forth, Gabe fires haymakers, but Briscoe gives those back! The fans fire up, Briscoe CHOPS, but Gabe CHOPS! The CHOPS keep going, then Gabe ROCKS Briscoe! Briscoe fires back with a flurry, but Gabe RAMS him into the corner! Speedball & Willow rush in, Moxley & Marina intercept, and the fans fire up as there’s brawling all over the place! Moxley DECKS Bailey, Marina KNEES away on Willow then TOSESS her! Moxley keeps after Bailey but Bailey hits back.
Marina and Willow keep fighting on the outside while Bailey KICKS Moxley against barriers. JUMP KICK! Willow digs her boot into Marina’s face!

The Hurt Syndicate speaks.
MVP says, “Tonight was not just a momentous occasion, it was a historical occasion, because two things happened tonight. This was the fifth consecutive, successful title defense of the AEW Tag Team Championships, and the debut of the young genius, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, as a full-fledged member of the Hurt Syndicate.” MJF says, “Bobby & Shelton are the most dominate tag team in the world today. Think of any top tag team in this sport, anyone, they’d beat ’em clean, easy. These belts ain’t going nowhere. Now that I am in the Hurt Syndicate, I am gonna make sure of that. And the Syndicate, we roll together, so we’re all collectively going to make sure we’re all strapped in gold.
“As far as my Triple B goes, my Big Beautiful Belt, my AEW World title is concerned, it will soon be around my waist. And if you find yourself in between the Hurt Syndicate and our goals, don’t be surprised if you wake up face down in a pool of your own piss and blood. But hey, man, when it comes to the Syndicate, it ain’t personal. It’s just business.” They all fist bump, but who will be next to step up and get stepped on?
Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford speak.
The Superbad Girl says Anna Jay & Harley Cameron had to cheat to beat them on Sunday. Tonight, it is NO DISQUALIFICATIONS, just like Anna & Harley have always wanted. The Megasus says that means they are her next sacrifice. Will the path of destruction only be more destructive now that Megan doesn’t have to hold back?
Ricochet speaks.
The One & Only says, “I had told that everybody after Double or Nothing, after I had laid wasted to Mark Briscoe, I would continue my quest for gold. A quest that I have been on since day one here in AEW. But I stopped, and I take a second, and I look around AEW, and I get the lay of the land, and I start to see the landscape for what it actually is. I see the Death Riders, I see The Opps, I see the Don Callis Family, I see the Hurt Syndicate, and I think to myself… Ricochet needs a group. Ricochet needs a crew. Ricochet needs some loyal subjects that will follow and help him on his quest for gold.
“And once I do, once I find the perfect crew, then I will continue to show everybody why Ricochet is simply Outta This World. AHA~!”
No Disqualification Tag: Anna Jay & Harley Cameron VS Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford!
For those who watched the Double or Nothing Buy-In, what part of that tag match did Harley & Anna “cheat” to win?

Alexander RAMS Brody into buckles, then he STRAITJACKET GERMANS!! Bridging cover, TWO!!! Brody escapes and the fans fire up! Alexander sits up, forehead bloody and shock in his eyes.

Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (advances to the AEW International Championship match)
The Don Callis Family had two chances tonight, failed them both, and now Brody heads for Colorado and Fyter Fest. Will The King of Death end the reign of The Best Bout Machine? Who else will join Brody and Kenny Omega in the Mile High City?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of the other two International Championship qualifiers, Claudio VS Komander and Hechicero VS Mascara Dorada, we will have Mina Shirakawa VS Skye Blue! Will the Fighting Gravure Idol stay strong in the wake of losing at Double or Nothing? Plus, after the confrontation during the TNT Championship match, Paragon battles RPG Vice, but with some added names to the mix! RPG Vice bring in NEVER Openweight Champion, Konosuke Takeshita, while Roddy & Kyle conglomerate with NJPW Strong Openweight Champion, Tomohiro Ishii! Could this Six Man Tag open some doors to more golden opportunities?
Kyle Fletcher speaks.
The Protostar does not know whose call that was, whether it was Callis or Alexander, but he doesn’t care, because he does NOT need help out there, and certainly not to beat Adam Cole! He should be standing here as the NEW TNT Champion! But speaking of Cole, he comes running in and the two start throwing hands! Kyle has a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK! Security rushes out, separates the two, and Cole says Kyle is a dead man! Cole knows he had Kyle beat, but when and where will these two put the claims to rest?
Mercedes Mone heads to the ring!
The CEO struts her way out, carrying all her belts, the Owen Hart Cup on display. Mone grabs a mic and says, “El Pasooooo~! I now stand before you not only as the greatest TBS & Rev-Pro Champion of all time… But as the greatest winner of the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament!” The fans are torn, but Mone says the legends, Owen Hart and her hero, Eddie Guerrero… The fans cheer for El Paso’s own, the late, great Latino Heat, and Mone says they do NOT compare to the greatness of Mone! That is why she is the CEO of AEW! But wait! Timeless Toni Storm makes her way out here! This face-to-face is now official as the AEW Women’s World Champion steps into the ring.
The fans cheer for Toni, and the two champions eye each other while Toni gets herself a mic. Toni kicks off the shoes and sets her belt down on the mat. Mone says, “Toni, darling, we finally meet.” The fans applaud that, and Mone says she knows these AEW fans are so sick of the black ‘n’ white. They want a champion full of color! The fans boo that, but Toni says, “Hello, Mercedes. I have waited so long for you. 441 days ago, you arrived in AEW on a show named after you. And since then, you’ve won titles, you’ve made history, and you’ve remained undefeated. But you have never once spoke to me. You have never once looked at me.
“You said that you’ve been watching me since before you even came here. You told Antony Khan that this was the one match you wanted to have. So, darling, what took you so long?” The fans cheer, and Mone says back, “What took me so long? Patience, darling, patience.” The fans boo, but Mone says this isn’t about Toni, this is about Mone and her legacy. And you think she’s going to go around backstage shaking just anybody’s hand? When Mone is the Beyonce of Women’s Wrestling? You gotta be kidding! The fans boo but Mone asks Toni, “Do you not know who I am? I am the standard, I am the conversation, I am the blueprint, I AM the revolution!”
Fans are torn, but Toni smirks as there are those who chant, “No, You’re Not! No, You’re Not!” Toni says she is the Toni Storm of Pro-Wrestling, and she swears to an unknown God that you have NEVER met anyone like her! The fans cheer that! Mone says yes, that’s right. This Toni, this “shy, nervous Toni Storm that I met ten years ago,” is very different. But so is Mone. Mone is not just a Boss, she is a CEO. She has beaten the very best from all over the world, from Mexico to Japan to England. And now at All In: Texas, Mone is bringing it home. We will have THE greatest women’s match of all time! Fans like the sound of that.
Toni says they have so many similarities. They both started so young, struggled on the indies, found success, were given trophies and flowers, and when those weren’t enough, they left it all behind to follow their hearts. And in AEW, they became exactly who they are meant to be! The fans cheer that! Mone nods, and Toni continues: There is one glaring difference. While Mone wants all the titles, Toni needs only one. Toni has lived for this title, she has cried for this title, she has bled for this title, and she has DIED for this title! The fans chant, “She’s Our Champion! Toni! Toni!” Mone is annoyed, but Toni keeps going.
“So if you want to ride the Money Train through the Toni Tunnel, I just hope you can get deep enough.” The fans cheer that! Mone says not even Toni’s hips are wide enough for the Money Train! Toni says 45 days form now, they will meet again in Texas. And somewhere in the world, a little girl with big dreams will be watching. She will say, “Holy S*IT, these b*tches are crazy!” And then, that little girl will find out who the better woman is! Toni sincerely believes Mone is the greatest of all time. But unfortunately for Mone, Toni happens to be TIMELESS~! The fans cheer that, and Mone scowls.
Mone tells Toni that Toni may call herself timeless, but what she deserves is for her time to come an end! Mone will see Toni at All In! Toni says, “See you at All In, darling.” The fans fire up as Mone puts her other belts aside to offer a handshake. Toin smiles and accepts. Then they bring each other in to stare down. Toni smells Mone, and then kisses Mone on the hand. Mone reels Toni in for a Gory Especial! Toni fights out to reel Mone in! Mone scrambles free of the driver, and the fans fire up! That was just a taste of what’s to come, but who will taste sweet victory when these two battle it out in Globe Life Field?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite to follow Double or Nothing while building to Fyter Fest and All In. Excalibur said himself that tonight paralleled Double or Nothing by bookending things with the Owen Hart Cup stories. Great opening promo from Hangman, Swerve and Ospreay. Swerve did have a good point of asking if Hangman was in cahoots with The Bucks, but we also know that’s not the case. And of course Swerve and Hangman will be at odds during this whole All In build. But just as likely, we will get a great “Avengers working together” kind of moment to finally take out the Death Riders and get that title off Moxley.
Great closing promo from Toni and Mone, with a good reference back to their time in WWE. I’m still hoping for them to put all the belts on the line so that they are truly going all in. But the tease of someone taking a finisher to the belt was good stuff. 45 days of build, who knows what else we get, but there’s also no guarantee that Mone keeps the TBS Championship. It’d be wild if someone took that title from her on the way, but it could be a point of pressure that Mone has to defend her other belts while Toni only has to worry about one.
Good debut for Thekla tonight, it was very in line with a Malakai/Aleister Black debut. Hayter seems to automatically be the woman who faces returning and debuting wrestlers and that’s not a bad spot, but it would be nice if she got to do title stuff. Great women’s tag match, and kudos to Harley fighting through a broken nose. But in the end, the Heels winning made sense when they lost at Double or Nothing. There’s talk of tag titles coming, but I don’t have faith in that when TK’s pacing of the women’s division still hasn’t improved. The current example is the poor planning he has with the ROH Women’s Pure Championship.
RIP the Frat House, their ceiling is ROH after getting crushed by The Opps. A little surprised we didn’t get Hook showing up or having a promo, but maybe that happens for Collision. The Mixed Six Tag was great stuff, and throwing Speedball in there was a little surprising until it was clear the Death Riders were winning that. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate, but every time MJF talks about “his” world title, it feels like Lashley wants to roll his eyes or something, because duh, why wouldn’t he and Shelton want their own shots at that title? If Moxley does lose at All In, and MJF goes after Hangman, you can bet MJF and Lashley butt heads again over who really gets the title match.
Good promo from Ricochet, but I wonder… Ricochet wants a crew, there’s a duo named CRU… Is Ricochet going to lead Lio & Action as a trio? And if it isn’t CRU, who would fall in line behind Ricochet? Unless that’s the point of his next story arc: failing to make a faction because he’s that insufferable. And great Don Callis Family stuff tonight. Cole VS Kyle was great, good move for Paragon to go after them, and that Six Man Tag on Collision will be fun. Alexander running out there really was confusing, not just kayfabe, but maybe they want to give Kyle an out. Kyle is great as a wrestler and a personality, fans surely will cheer for him over the rest of Callis Family, but we’ll wait and see how Cole VS Kyle 2 goes.
Alexander VS Brody was a great main event match, with great story of going after Brody’s hand. Alexander getting busted open hard way from perhaps that top rope stuff did add something. And honestly, I’m pleasantly surprised by Brody winning. Brody and Omega alone is great, but then it’ll surely be Claudio over Komander, and now Hechicero over Mascara Dorada to keep the two Faces and two Heels ratio.
My Score: 8.9/10

It’s the Double or Nothing Buy-In!
Join Renee Paquette, RJ City & Jeff Jarrett in discussing, predicting and analyzing all the action about to happen in Phoenix, Arizona!
Backstage interview with Ricochet.
Lexy Nair asks the One & Only how he feels going into not just AEW’s first Stretcher Match, but his own first stretcher match against the unpredictable Mark Briscoe. Ricochet says Lexy is smarter than Renee Paquette & Tony Schiavone combined, but that’s not saying much. That said, this is his first Stretcher Match, but while some say Mark is unpredictable, Ricochet says Mark’s brainless. Speaking of brainless, there have been a lot of discourse online about the rules of a Stretcher Match, so allow Ricochet to explain.
Rule one: Ricochet incapacitates Mark long enough to place his dumbass on a stretcher. Ricochet then rolls said stretch up to the lovely ambulance the local hospital has supplied for them. Ricochet puts the stretcher in the ambulance, close the doors, and Mark immediately receives the best medical care possible for the beating Ricochet just put upon him! Um, what’s rule two? Rule two is that there ARE no rules, outside of rule one. AHA~! Ricochet heads out, but will he make this Stretcher Match #OuttaThisWorld? Or will he fail to #ManUp against the Sussex County Chicken?

Alex Marvez is with Sammy Guevara & Dustin Rhodes, and he’s ready to rep the #DayOneGuys. Marvez notes Sammy was part of that very first Double or Nothing in 2019. Safe to say, things have changed?

But tonight, things change again as the Sons of Texas become the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions! The Natural’s very first AEW match was with his brother, Cody, and that remains one of, if not THE bloodiest match in AEW history. Is Dustin going to bring that same level of violence?
Dustin says yes, absolutely. He wants everyone to know that last night, he was pondering on this moment. He looked out the window and saw this storm rolling in. It didn’t look good. It looked really, really bad. Hurt Syndicate, the Sons of Texas want more gold. Understand, try and hurt Dustin! There’s nothing he hasn’t already been through! This is for ALL the gold!

On any given Sunday, anything can happen, so watch out!
You wanna hurt ’em? Bring the best you got, because it just won’t be enough! Dustin & Sammy want more, but will that ambition be their downfall? Or will they be the ones that hurt people?

While the Don Callis Family’s “big 3” are in action later tonight, Trent Beretta & Rocky Romero are teaming with Lio Rush & Action Andretti to show there are no weak links in the Family. But will RPG & CRU make it work? Or will the four high-flyers they’re up against be too fly to stop?

This was a wild way to wrap the Buy-In, and the ROH World Champion stands tall with his amigos! How much more madness will we see as AEW goes Double or Nothing?
The tradition continues…
Some events leave a mark. Fewer make history. Even fewer change history. But this event did it all! And though this is the seventh, luck will have nothing to do with it. Wills will be tested, violent acts will be committed, and legacies will be solidified. “With dreams of glory… and just plain anarchy!” Tonight, a mark will once again be left on the world. Because once again, AEW goes Double or Nothing!
2025 Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Finals: Mercedes Mone VS Jamie Hayter!
The CEO may be down to #ThreeBeltsMone, but she still feels entitled to this tournament’s legacy, the trophy with Owen’s name on it, and the title shot that comes with it. But on the flipside, the former AEW Women’s World Champion will not be denied her redemption that has been a long time coming. Will the Money Train stay on track? Or will it be derailed when she learns Hayter Hits Hard?
The bell rings and the fans fire up already. Hayter stands on the corner to fire the fans up more. Mone and Hayter circle, tie up, and are in a deadlock. Hayter powers Mone back but Mone turns things around in the corner. The ref counts, Mone smothers Hayter but backs off at 4. Mone hops up to soak up the cheers and jeers. Mone and Hayter go again, tie up again, and the fans duel. Mone waistlocks, Hayter powers her to a corner and fires elbows! The ref counts, Hayter stops to strut, and Mone scowls. Mone and Hayter go again, Hayter waistlocks, and she SLAMS Mone down! Mone scrambles away in a huff, but comes back for more.
Mone waistlocks, and CLUBS Hayter in the back! Mone puts Hayter in a corner to fire more shots on that back! The ref counts, Mone stops at 4, and Mone soaks up more cheers and jeers. Hayter rises and BOOTS Mone! And bumps her off buckles, to then fire LARIAT after LARIAT! Hayter then snapmares and BOOTS Mone down! Cover, TWO! The fans rally as Hayter drags Mone back up. Hayter fires forearm after forearm to put Mone in a corner. Hayter whips corner to corner, Mone reverses, and Mone LARIATS! Mone whips but Hayter reverses. Mone goes up and over to O’Conner Roll! TWO, but Mone rolls Hayter, TWO!
Mone runs, slides under, sunset flips to then have the leg! Hayter kicks at Mone, BOOTS her down, then grabs Mone’s leg! Hayter stands with a toehold, but Mone endures to push Hayter down! Now Mone has the toehold! Hayter kicks at Mone, and again has the toehold! The fans rally as Mone endures, and she kicks Hayter down! It is a battle of toeholds as Hayter again kicks Mone down! Hayter stomps away on Mone and the fans cheer! Hayter turns Mone over to stop that back, and then puts on the HALF CRAB! Mone endures, reaches out, then rolls to send Hayter into the ropes! Mone runs and METEORAS!
Hayter dangles over the floor, tries to sit up, but Mone goes out to the apron. Mone hits a METEORA to the floor! Mone smiles and the fans are torn while the ref checks Hayter. Hayter clutches her head, but she’s somehow still in this. Mone stands Hayter up and runs her hard into railing! Mone swaggers, mocks Hayter’s pain, then brings her up. Mone puts Hayter in the ring, steps over an arm and has LA MAGISTROL, but then into the BOW ‘N’ ARROW! Hayter endures as Mone bends her back! Hayter endures, the fans rally, and Hayter powers up, only for Mone to pull her deeper in! Hayter still endures so Mone rolls her to a cover, TWO!

2025 Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Finals: Will Ospreay VS Hangman Page!
While Jon Moxley continues his reign of terror, that is ironically in the background of this. The Aerial Assassin and The Blackhat Cowboy have battled long and hard to prove they are worthy of this moment, and of everything that has come before. Ospreay wants this, Hangman needs this, and while they’ll both give it everything they’ve got, only one of them can go All In. Will the story of the 2025 Owen Hart Cup be about Ospreay’s ascension? Or about Hangman’s redemption?
The bell rings and the fans fire up as the two stare down. Ospreay and Hangman step up, tie up, and go around. Hangman shoves Ospreay down, facelocks, but Ospreay switches that. They roll, Ospreay floats around, then pats Hangman on the back before backing off. The fans are torn but Hangman brushes that off. Hangman and Ospreay reset, circle, and the fans duel. Ospreay and Hangman circle, tie up, and Hangman headlocks. Hangman hits the takeover, denies the headscissors, but Ospreay fights up. Ospreay powers up but Hangman holds on tight.

The ref counts, Hangman lets off, but he keeps his eyes on Ospreay. Then he whips but Ospreay rolls. Ospreay sweeps, covers, ONE! Hangman sweeps, covers, ONE! Hangman avoids as sweep to KICK Ospreay!
The fans cheer and Ospreay brushes that off. Ospreay fires a forearm, Hangman fires back and Ospreay stumbles! Hangman headlocks, Ospreay powers up and out this time, then drops down. Ospreay hurdles, Hangman denies the flip, but Ospreay avoids the lariat! Ospreay CHPOS, whips, Hangman reverses, Ospreay handsprings but Hangman catches him! GERMAN SUPLEX but Ospreay lands out! Ospreay springboards, Hangman catches him and shoves him to BACKDROP! Hangman goes to the apron, BUCK- NO, Ospreay dodges! But then Hangman dodges the Hidden Blade! The fans cheer this standoff after the shootout!
Ospreay and Hangman reset and the fans rally up again. They circle and feel things out. They knuckle lock, then Hangman kicks low! Hangman ROCKS Ospreay, puts him in a corner, and CHOPS! Hangman whips corner to corner, Ospreay goes up and over, things keep moving and Ospreay ducks ‘n’ dodges to RANA! Hangman staggers up, into a scoop and SLAM! STANDING SKY TWISTER! Cover, ONE!! The fans cheer while both men catch their breath. Ospreay then ROCKS Hangman, puts him in a corner, and CHOPS! Hangman is stinging but Ospreay bumps him off buckles. Ospreay CHOPS, then follows Hangman again.
Ospreay bumps Hangman off buckles but Hangman DECKS Ospreay! The fans fire up and Hangman snarls. Hangman brings Ospreay up, CHOPS again, then throws hands. Hangman whips corner to corner, runs up, but Ospreay BOOTS him and goes out! Springboard, PIP PIP CHEERIO! Hangman tumbles out, Ospreay stretches out his back, and the fans fire up! PLANCHA, but Hangman catches him! FALL AWAY SLAM into LED barriers! The fans fire up while Ospreay slumps down! Hangman looms over Ospreay, puts him in the ring, then looms over him again. Hangman scoops Ospreay to FALL AWAY SLAM into buckles! Cover, TWO!
Ospreay toughs it out but Hangman stays focused. Hangman CHOPS, then bumps Ospreay off buckles. Hangman CHOPS in the corner, ROCKS Ospreay, then CHOPS again! Hangman fires those shots on repeat, then just HAMMERS Ospreay down! The ref counts but the fans cheer, and Hangman lets off at 4. Hangman drags Ospreay up, whips him to a corner, and runs up to LARIAT! Ospreay sputters and Hangman reels him in, but STUN DOG- NO, Hangman stops the stunner to hit a BIG back suplex! Ospreay gets up, takes a swing, but into another BIG back suplex! Cover, TWO! Ospreay toughs it out but Hangman clamps on with a chinlock.
The fans rally as Ospreay endures and fights around. Ospreay fires body shots, ROCKS Hangman, then runs, but Hangman RUNS him over! Hangman stomps Ospreay, kicks him around, and he eggs Ospreay on.

Hangman shoves Ospreay into the ring, then POP-UP POWERBOMBS! High stack, TWO! Hangman steps through, and this is The Owen after all! SHARPSHOOTER!! Ospreay endures as Hangman sits deep! The fans rally, Ospreay fights around, and he pushes up to reach out! But Hangman pushes Ospreay down! Ospreay still reaches out, ROPEBREAK! Hangman lets go, having almost exhausted himself. The fans rally while both men catch their breath.
The fans duel while Hangman rises up. Hangman seems to be fueled by the fans here as he stands Ospreay up. Ospreay CHOPS, but Hangman gets in Ospreay’s face! Ospreay CHOPS, Hangman stares him down, repeat! Hangman corners Ospreay like that! Ospreay fires forearms, but Hangman ROCKS him! And SAIDOS! Ospreay staggers up, Hangman runs, and Hangman BOOTS!

Reload and BUCK- NO, Ospreay slips through! STORM – NO, Hangman lands out to BOOT, LARIAT, and then reload! BUCKSHOT!!! Cover, HANGMAN WINS!!!!!
Winner: Hangman Page, by pinfall (2025 Men’s Owen Hart Cup winner)
Another instant classic, and The Cowboy has his redemption! At least, redemption in this Owen Hart Tournament after he fell short in 2024. Will he have true redemption when he takes the AEW World Championship back? Will he be the hero that takes down Maniac Jon Moxley? Will AEW go All In with the Hangman?
Hangman goes to leave, but then decides to step back into the ring. The fans cheer for “Both These Guys!” as Hangman stands over Ospreay. Ospreay looks up, then manages to stand. The two stare down once again, covered in the confetti and streamers, and Hangman offers a handshake. Ospreay takes it, and the fans cheer the show of respect. Is this a sign that their gentlemen’s agreement stands? Will Ospreay and Hangman be allies against the Death Riders and tear them down together?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Double or Nothing, even with a mishap/misunderstanding on when Buy-In/Zero Hour started. Maybe AEW themselves thought they were doing more Buy-In matches, but I’m relieved it was only two. Great tag match from Harley & Anna VS Megan & Ford, and a great win for the Faces. I almost thought Megan was going to turn on Ford for messing up, but maybe that happens the next time Ford loses a match for Megan. And great 8 Man Tag, with another great win for Faces, but it was definitely a filler-for-fun kind of match.
Great move bookending the night with the Owen Hart Cup matches, and Mone VS Hayter was a great opening match for the main card. Mone winning was mostly expected, and just me personally, I’m still disappointed that we’re not getting Mone VS Athena at All In. They teased it when the tournament started because Athena eyed the TBS Championship, but now, Athena barely even does stuff on ROH now and Mone is facing Toni Storm. Toni VS Mina was awesome, too, one of Mina’s best matches in or out of AEW, and the fans loved both of them so I don’t think the fans would’ve hated Mina winning.
Great stuff with FTR VS Nigel & Garcia but I’m also a bit disappointed we didn’t get anything from Cope. Not even like a tease that he’s on his way back to put some fear in FTR. I did like all the extra stuff with Schiavone, though. Awesome Stretcher/Ambulance match with Ricochet VS Briscoe, and Briscoe of course bled. Ricochet winning made sense, though, he’s on the rise and needs that momentum so he’ll be hot on the other side of a title story. A little surprised he isn’t in the International Championship field, but I guess having a match starring CMLL luchadores was a given to help prepare for Grand Slam: Mexico. Maybe Ricochet targets a top CMLL name for that show…
That said, I can’t believe Fyter Fest is going to be a FOUR HOUR SPECIAL, right before the FOUR HOUR Summer Blockbuster on June 11th! Way to make Grand Slam: Mexico feel important when it’s just a two hour show and then they go to Washington state for Collision that week. Of the field, Claudio definitely gets in, and I would think Josh Alexander does to represent Don Callis Family. That’s two Heels, so Mascara Dorada should get in and be another Face alongside Omega. It also works on the level that Callis keeps putting Alexander over as the best Canadian wrestler and Omega is also Canadian so they will settle that argument Callis is making.
Speaking of Don Callis, the Six Man Tag of Don Callis Family VS Paragon made for a great buffer between Anarchy in the Arena and the main event. It was still a very good match, but I could’ve also seen this main-eventing a Dynamite or Collision. I’m surprised we didn’t get as much Kyle VS Kyle in that, but it did happen for the finish. Fletcher as the guy to go after Cole’s TNT Championship is a good choice. Konosuke doesn’t have to go for a title while he’s still NEVER Openweight Champion for NJPW, but I love that Brody, Ishii & Tanahashi reinforced Paragon. It is a partial tease for some Forbidden Door stuff but that’s not until August, so maybe we get some Conglomeration 2.0 on the way, under the Paragon nickname.
Great tag title match, and they made it fun despite everyone knowing it was going to be Hurt Syndicate’s win. MJF and Lashley being tense with each other just to show they’re palling around like that was clever, and now Hurt Syndicate checks off another team. Okada VS Bailey could be a sleeper hit of this PPV, and maybe of all month because both guys busted out so much of their movesets, countered a good amount of the other guy’s stuff, and then Okada still finds a way to win and cleanly. Okada himself should really hop right to another title story to stay hot with these big four hour shows they’re doing.
This year’s Anarchy in the Arena was wild, the wildest one yet I would think. A shame Eddie Kingston didn’t show, given the social media posts he had teasing it, but if he wasn’t 100% by tonight, it couldn’t be helped. Briscoe sorta jumps in as a great proxy for Eddie, though, and of course someone extra was needed with Gabe Kidd helping out. I like how Hook helped out just the littlest bit but is clearly feeling snubbed with how Hobbs joined the Opps to be a trios champion. That can be the next phase of the story for Joe since he isn’t THE world champion right now. Great finish with Omega’s “exploding” table and those spiked sneakers from Swerve.
And of course, Ospreay VS Hangman tore down the house. Well, the proverbial house was barely standing after this wild night but then it was just completely demolished with this main event. Ospreay and Hangman busted out just about everything they had, similar to Okada VS Bailey, and it really could’ve gone either way. I was pleasantly surprised to see Hangman got the win, though. I remember saying it a few years ago that Hangman’s entire career story has been perfect pacing and such, and I think I’m going to stand by it. He had his rough patches, but he’s got his redemption arc going now, and he has Ospreay as an ally along with the Faces we just saw in Anarchy in the Arena. They’ll be alike an AEW Avengers/Thunderbolts taking on The Death Riders going towards All In and it’ll be great.
