Kris Statlander & Stokely Hathaway are in the middle of training.

“Big Stoke” has wrestled Hook, if that’s what he wants to call it. He’s teamed with Samoa Joe, if that’s what he wants to call it. And he’s been trained by The Firm, RIP. Stokely wants to pour one out but Stat and the other trainees scold him for it. Take this seriously for once! They’re going to All in, and he is lucky to even be here! So now he needs REAL training. Strap into your booster seat, Mama Stat’s taking you to school! Stokely frowns but he gets in the basics. A collar ‘n’ elbow tie up, a kick, and a scoop for the SLAM! Then a crucifix takedown! Great ghost pin! Playtime is over, Willow. They’ve been ignore for too long.

Everyone thinks this is fun and games, but no. Stat & Stoke are in it now. Willow, Ishii, it doesn’t matter. They get knocked own a peg and embarrassed on the biggest show of the year.

And tomorrow night, we have a tag team match against Willow Nightingale, and that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle you call Ishii.

And when we win, and when we destroy the both of them, Willow, Ishii, your careers are gonna be just like the food here in England: Absolutely rubbish, mate!

The fans boo, mostly because Wales is NOT England. But Stoke & Stat have sent their message, will they follow through by standing tall?

Ben Mankiewicz speaks.

Ben introduces himself, and says August 27th, 2023, Wembley Stadium, All In London, a production began on a new motion picture. Toni Storm became… TIMELESS! An Outcast, a former rocker, living in her own reality that led to real world success. This flaunting, flamboyant, filthy tongued fighter struck gold in, of all places, Hollywood Land. her fame grew, and so did her orbit. But one supporter was not like the others. Mariah May, a stunning starlet who bore a striking resemblance to the champion, saw her as an inspiration. An icy reception gradually warmed, and Mariah became an understudy, a friend, and a muse.

The mentor fell in love with the protege, and shared her blazing spotlight with her, never realizing, “What could go wrong?” Hearts broken, shoes thrown, blood spilled, Act III culminates where it all started: Wembley Stadium. “Let’s make cinema.”

Hook VS “Big Bill” Morrissey w/ Chris Jericho & Bryan Keith!

In order to get at The Learning Tree, the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil, with only one good eye, must cut down The Redwood! Will Hook’s fighting spirit be on fire as he burns down Big Bill and goes after Chris Jericho? Or will he never escape the Jericho Vortex?

Bill stands Hook up, CLAWS the bad eye, then BODY SHOTS! The fans boo but Bill looms over Hook.

Bill CLUBS Hook, Jericho says hi to the camera, and the fans boo more. Bill stands Hook up but Hook fires hands! Bill DECKS Hook with one shot! The fans rally for Hook but Bill stands on him! The ref counts, Bill counts along, and he steps away at 4. The fans rally for Hook, Bill storms up on him, and he ROCKS Hook again! And again, and again, and again! Bill taunts Hook, then DECKS him again! Bill stands Hook back up, whips him corner to corner, then swaggers before he runs in to SPLASH! Hook falls over, Bill soaks up the cheers and jeers, and then he drags Hook back up. Bill puts Hook in the ropes, and CLUBS away on him!

The fans boo but Bill lets off at 4. Bill runs up to BOOT Hook down! Hook flops to the floor, Bill soaks up more cheers and jeers, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Jericho again waves to the camera, and Bill steps up and out to fetch Hook. Bill takes his time, having a bit of fun with Cardiff, and then he drags Hook up. Bill RAMS Hook into the apron, and RAMS him in again! Bill goes up to the apron, steps inside, and lets the count handle Hook. Bill then argues with the ref about the count, but that’s just so Keith can STOMP Hook down! Keith tells fans to respect Chris Jericho, and Hook flounders. Bill goes back out to fetch Hook, and picks him up to RAM him into the post! Hook slumps down again, Bill soaks up heat, and Keith talks smack. Bill and the ref argue, but Hook sits up.

Hook drags himself to the ring, even as the count climbs. Bill tells fans to stop cheering Hook, but Hook rises up at 7 of 10! Bill is annoyed so he goes out to get Hook himself. Bill brings Hook around to put in the ring, and Collision returns to single picture. Bill tries to get the fans mad at him, but they just cheer! Bill storms over to Hook, but Hook fires hands! Bill picks Hook up for a BEARHUG! Hook endures as Bill thrashes him around! Bill DROPS Hook, the fans cheer, and Bill mocks Hook and Taz as he storms around, crossing his arms. Bill rains down fists on Hook, Jericho jokes he might end up with a night off tomorrow.

The fans are thunderous, even as Bill tries to piss them off! Bill drags Hook up, SLAMS him, and then winds up to ELBOW DROP! And ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO!! Hook survives and Bill is annoyed. Bill storms around, and he runs up to ELBOW FLOP as Hook moves! Hook ELBOWS Bill, then DUMPS him out! Bill flounders, Hook stumbles to a corner. Bill gets in, runs up, but Hook dodges the splash! Bill hits post because of how tall he is! Hook hobbles after Bill, and he runs up to fire off fists! The fans boo, the ref counts, and the ref stops Hook at 7! Hook dodges Bill, dodges again, and LARIATS! Bill stays up!

Hook wrenches, reels Bill in, EXPLODER! The fans fire up and Hook rises! Jericho says this is bizarro world! Keith runs in, but into an EXPLODER! Keith falls out. Hook runs up on Bill, but Bill choke grips! SKYSCRAPER- NO, Hook slips free! Hook goes up a corner to BOOT Bill! But Bill CHOPS back! The fans like that! Bill says one more! But then REDRUM!! Bill reaches out, the fans rally up, but Bill TAPS, Hook wins!

Winner: Hook, by submission

Jericho is also stunned, how could HIS Redwood fall? Hook tells Jericho that it’s only a matter of time! Will Hook rip The Learning Tree out, roots and all? Or will Jericho still stand tall “For The World?”

Jack Perry speaks.

“I’m sure this title looks a bit different from the way Darby Allin remembers it. And that’s because Darby, like so many others who came before me, is unworthy of MY TNT title! I recreated this in my own image as a symbol of the sacrifice I made to be here today. This cost me my dream, and there’s no going back. So if you plan to close the lid of that coffin on me in Wembley Stadium, you better know that the only way is if I’m dead inside of it.” The Scapegoat is prepared in mind and body, but will The Relentless One test his spirit?

Jeff Jarrett VS Ariya Daivari!

Jay Lethal lost to Shibata earlier tonight, but now Double J tries his luck. But as The Premier Athlete’s privileged pugilist makes his entrance, he has a mic to cut off the ring announcer. He introduces himself, and says he was sent here because Cardiff does not have a Premier League team! Ever since that “jabroni,” Gareth Bale retired, Wales needs a national hero they can cheer for. That man is none other than Ariya Daivari! The fans boo that, but will The Last Outlaw put Daivari in his place?

The bell rings and the two circle. The fans fire up for Jarrett but Daivari bails out. Jarrett smiles as the fans sing, “Double J~! Double, Double J~~!” Daivari returns, feels things out with Jarrett, but then gets on a corner to soak up the heat. Jarrett says hold on, and he goes up a corner. The fans cheer!

Jarrett dares Daivari to get back in, and the fans just keep on singing. Daivari says forget this, and he lets the ring count climb. Jarrett counts along just to taunt Daivari, but Daivari goes up the ramp. Is he really going to just let Jarrett win? Jarrett doesn’t like that, he rushes out after Daivari! They go around the way with a fresh count, and now Daivari uses Karen as a shield! How dare he use Jeff’s wife! Daivari shoves Karen at Jeff, then DECKS Jeff! Daivari soaks up heat, shouts at Karen, and Karen runs away. Daivari drags Jarrett up to SMACK him off steel steps! Daivari puts Jarrett in, then drags him up.

As if All In 2024 wasn’t big enough, the AEW World Trios Championships will literally be up in the air as we have a massive Trios Fatal 4 Way Ladder match! The Patriarchy defend against The House of Black, The Bang Bang Gang, and whichever team comes out of this one on top! Will The Bad Child lead the way as he, Darius & Dante Martin go for gold?

Winners: Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta & Pac, by pinfall (advance to All In)

But before the celebration can begin, The Patriarchy makes their way out! Namely, it is Mother Shayna Wayne who accompanies Captain Charisma. Christian Cage has the mic to tell Cardiff to not even start with him! He cannot understand their gibberish anyway. So just do him a favor: move to England and learn proper English! At least then, they can cheer for a REAL rugby team! That being said, he congratulates the winners tonight. And it is no secret that Christian Cage is “the Godfather of Ladder Matches.” So he came out here to give them all a little “friendly advice.” He tells Cardiff to sit down and shut their mouths while he conducts business!

Christian’s advice: Have eyes in the back of your heads! Things can come from anywhere, at any time. And SURPRISE! Nick Wayne & Killswitch/Luchasaurus rush in from behind! Nick SMACKS Yuta down with a chair! Then Luchasaurus does the same to Claudio! And they both SMACK Pac! Christian joins in to stomp away, and the SMACKS keep going! Then they set Pac up with the chairs! But wait! Here comes The Bang Bang Gang! Juice, Colten & Austin storm the ring, to bring out a TABLE! The fans love seeing that! The furniture is set up ringside, but then the lights go out! That can only mean… THE HOUSE OF BLACK IS HERE!

Cardiff goes wild as Malakai Black, Brody King & Buddy Matthews stand on stage, with a ladder! Tables, ladders, and chairs, oh my! Malakai leads the House down the ramp, and now Christian is really worried. The other six rush in, so The Patriarchy runs away! The fans boo but the champs can only run away to London, because this match is inevitable! But then, as The House wants to pursue, Bang Bang Gang stops them! Now those trios fight each other! Claudio, Yuta & Pac get up to join in on the brawl!

The fans chant “A E DUB! A E DUB!” but now, The Patriarchy might not have to worry so much. Can they use all nine other opponents as pawns to stay the kings of the AEW Trios Division? Or will another trio still rise above and crown themselves champions?

My Thoughts:

A great go-home Collision, especially with it recorded in advanced the same night as Dynamite. Therefore, good recap/hype packages that I mostly skipped, but I just love that Ben Mankiewicz returned to essentially narrate the Toni Storm VS Mariah May video. And great interview segment to not just give us Private Party as the MCs for All In, as well as set up a 10 Man Tag for Zero Hour. Naturally, it’s Taven, Bennett, Brian Cage, Kaun & Liona answering, that story has been building between both AEW and ROH programming, and I really appreciate ROH stories being put on AEW programming to push story forward while also basically advertising ROH.

Speaking of The Kingdom, great Six Man Tag of them against Conglomeration, but great win for Conglomeration from it. Cassidy has momentum going into Casino Gauntlet, he most likely isn’t winning, and I still want to see Hangman Page win it to have that shot at Swerve or Bryan. Anyway, great segue to have Willow wrestle next because she is also Conglomeration, and she of course beats Harley. Great training montage promo from Kris & Stokely, they of course win their tag match tonight, and great to see Nina Samuels again. She was a fun part of NXT UK, has been in Progress since it closed down, so nice to see her on TV somewhere. With both sides going in with momentum, I’m pretty sure Kris & Stoke cheat to win so they come up with a wild stipulation for All Out.

Great match of Shibata VS Lethal, and really good match of Jarrett VS Daivari. Great win for Shibata so he has momentum going into the 10 Man Tag and just in general. Hook VS Bill was a good match but I’m a little surprised Cardiff wasn’t a fan of Hook. Hook still wins because he needs that momentum before facing Jericho, but I’m conflicted on who wins. Hook wins gets the title back, and you think that’d be the end of the story, but Jericho says it’s when Hook loses that he no longer deals with the Jericho Vortex. Once again, a Jericho story has backwards booking, and Tony Khan seems to have no answers as to how to change that.

Good promo from Jack Perry, though I feel like they could’ve played this sooner. And it’s not like it changes how the math was working, The Elite lost the Six Man Tag on Dynamite so they surely retain for All In. And at this rate, it feels like The Patriarchy will retain their World Trios Championships, too. Great Six Man Tag of Top Flight VS Claudio, Yuta & Pac, but I guess they just don’t want a ladder match with flyer guys. At the same time, Pac of course had to have an explicit part to play on All In, not be a surprise entry for Casino Gauntlet.

But now the math gets muddy. Patriarchy tries their best to beat down #BastardCombatClub, the other trios show up, and The Patriarchy are the only ones not in that brawl. As I said for Rampage last night, I just don’t see Pac winning titles alongside Claudio & Yuta when he also has All Out waiting for him. And it’s hard to say if that was Patriarchy standing tall. This ladder match being a Fatal 4, it protects all the teams no matter who wins, so Patriarchy can easily retain, but also easily lose. If it’s anyone who wins the belts off Patriarchy, I’d go with House of Black so they can bring back the House Rules.

My Score: 8.8/10
