ALL IN is back and this year should see the crowning of a new era for AEW with Will Ospreay and maybe we'll see Newman turn on him after the match to set up All Out. It's a loaded Buy In thanks to the trios gauntlet with the likely debut of New Day/Daybreak in AEW. OUTSTANDING hype video and the Buy In is tied to the main feed on ALL IN thankfully. Bush's "Machinehead" hits us up before Renee runs down things before we see Jeff in the most Jeff Jarrett outfit ever.
Killer promo from Persephone on the TBS Title match. Opps time with a new shit theme before they face Lio Rush and THE RASCALZ! Cool getup for Lio Rush. PK knee by Bowens gets 2 on Lio before he bites Shibata's hand. Handspring stunner and the frog splash win for Lio.
They hype up the trios and then it starts raining! The Demand and Dogs chat up the scenery. Sisters of Sin are out to face Harley and Kirs. UPPIES! Eddie hilo by Kris and then she tilt a whirls Harley into a splash for 2. Julia hits an old school arm drag to the floor and then Skye hits a rope-draping Punk high knee. Flying octopus by Julia but she escapes ONLY GET LOCKED IN HARTLESS! Double gordbuster and double superkick to Harley for 2. Kris catches Skye off a dive and just hurks her on the floor. Sunday night fever to Julia wins it.
STP vs. Hurt Syndicate and Boom and Doom is up. Syndicate is out in black, green and gold with no MVP. Everyone including a fan gets into helping for leverage on an abdominal stretch. Okay that was great. Lashley gets the powerslam for 2. Shelton gets the ankle lock on Shawn Dean before the POWERBOOM! LASHLEY SPEARS LEE! LASHLEY AND BIG JUSTICE HIT SPEARS! Dominator by Lashley wins it.
WOO DANIELSON IS HERE! And he's doing commentary and probably something with Nigel. Persephone is out owning the stadium. Maya mocks her and Persephone stomps a mudhole before a corner uppercut series by Maya. Fallaway by Persephone before a spear gets 2. AVALANCHE FALLAWAY SLAM BY MAYA AND THEN THE BLOCKBUSTER HOLD GETS 2.9 when Pers gets the rope! Someone shoves Maya off and PERSEPHONE GETS A SPLASH MOUNTAIN AND A PIN!
AND IT'S BRITT WITH THE LOCKJAW! YAY DMD BAYBAY! Renee wants audio and GETS THEKLA! Win, lose or draw, SHIT WILL GET TOXICCC! PERSE IS MONEY and Britt says she's been away and she's got perspective. YAY PERSE! GIANT New Day Rocks chant breaks out before the trios match. Dogs vs. Bang Bang Gang is up! Austin gets the kneeling throwbback and a dark tan. The Demand is out and Kaun is in unreal shape. Shotgun dropkick from Kaun! Colton is out! Conglomeration is here! Toa pounces Austin out! DEATHRIDERS ARE HERE!
Roddy and Marina do goofy bullshit until the backbreaker! THE GOOD, BAD, AND EL GUAPO ARE HERE! Cross cross spots in the corners and Brody is out! The final team is the mystery team! The pre-show ends and then the copyright screen hits for the ALL IN feed. SWERVE IS HERE! WHO WILL HIS PARTNERS BE!? THE NEW LEVEL IS HERE! Good theme, good name, solid presentation overall.
Kofi lands a PK! Demand trio doomsday device on Swerve. GOA is out and Kofi goes for the BOOM drop! HANGMAN DEFENDS BANDIDO AGAINST SWERVE! BUCKSHOT TO RICOCHET OFF OF SWERVE'S BACK! RICOCHET ELIMINATES HANGMAN! Death Riders celebrate and KOFI ESCAPES ELIMINATION! NANA HELPS KOFI! Spingboard froggy boddy by Kofi!
Kofi and Creed with a Demo double stomp! NEW LEVEL WINS IT! Womens tag is up. Brawling before a Birds dive off the top and apron before Bayne gets a top rope foot choke on Hayter. Hayter sends Lena down and Windah is in! Corner kicks to Windsah gets 2. Busaiku knee and a German gets 2.5 on Hayter! TWO BIRDS ONE STONE HITS AND WINS IT! YET ANOTHER NEW CHAMP CROWNED!
Nigel vs. Mox is up! Epic entrance for Nigel! Nigel gets his ankle stomped, but he gets an uppercut! Mox gets a LeBell Lock, but the grip isn't on and Nigel gets the S grip AND THE LEBELL LOCK IS ON! LES KELLETT LARIAT MEETS A CUTTER! LES KELLETT LARIAT HITS! Nigel avoids an RNC and gets a ripcord lariat! Mox gets the bulldog choke! NIGEL USES HIS CHIN TO BREAK THE HOLD! LONDON DUNGEON IS ON! C'MON NIGEL! BRYAN'S ROOTING FOR HIM! Mox turns it into an ankle lock! Flash cradle gets 2.9 but MOX STILL HAS THE ANKLE! UPKICKS BY NIGEL! THE DAVEY BOY PIN GETS 2.9!
Mox gets another ankle lock! CURB STOMP OFF AN ESCAPE and the ankle lock is locked in tight and he's got the bodylock! HE'S AN INCH AWAY BUT HAS TO TAP! WOW! What a great match that was. I was hoping for a Nigel win, but damn, that was about as perfect a final match as possible if it's over for Nigel.
International title three way is up with Okada in killer gear and Fletcher is slaying it too. Flip dive hits for Okada as they hype up something called The Last Match. Okada slam and the falling elbow and a bird flip BUT FLETCHER BIRD FLIPS HIM and then drops him with a half nelson suplex! RAINMAKER BY TAKESHITA TO OKADA! Screwdriver time and THE RAINMAKER HITS BUT IT HITS KYLE AND NOT TAKESHITA! RAINMAKER BY FLETCHER! HELLUVA KICK BY TAKESHITA TO FLETCHER! Rainmaker to Fletcher and it's over - Okada wins it and he has Kyle hold his hand up and Don does it too. So then Kyle wins the C2.
Casino gauntlet time and Andrade gets a pretty good intro with a new jumpsuit. MJF gets a good intro too and they hype up the big crowd here.
MJF gets knocked down, but he avoids the shotgun knees. Nick Wayne jumps Andrade and he's the third guy in! MJF tells him to help him out befoer Speedball comes out and runs wild with kicks and a skytwister. SSP TO NICK GETS 2.5! Ciampa is taking his time and Bryan is pointing out logic flaws about him not charging out. AND JERICHO IS HERE and he punches him to get Judas sung the way down.
Walls on MJF and the bad leg! DAVIS ATTACKS JERICHO! I like this being a scramble - it makes the less eventul entrance guys bigger deals. PILEDRIVERMANIA BABY! MJF THANKS HIM AND EATS A PILEDRIVER FOR 2.9! AND HERE'S KOMANDER and despite his tron, music and being Komander, Justin Roberts spoils that Mistico is coming. AND THEN HE ANNOUNCES HIM CORRECTLY AFTER THE ROPEWALK DIVE! AND NOW IT'S MISTICO! "YOU GUESSED IT, MISTICO!" and Danny beats him up! Marina slaps him and dazes and Mistico hits a tope! Mistico and Komander go at it in JUSTIN ROBERTS' DREAM MATCH according to Taz.

Rana to Andrade off the apron and the moonsault hits the pile and the knee strike misses! Snaretrap to Ciampa! PILEDRIVER BY PERRY TO DAVIS! Andrade hits the elbow to win it! No Dragunov is a surprise but this was fun!
Tag title time with the Bucks getting a history video with Jim Ross putting them over huge - and that's actually a great usage of him on this show. His voice putting over the current generation is a nice way to use him overall. Bucks tron plays into their whole history and the Sinclair ROH logo is paid homage to. COPE is here! He gets one last stadium entrance and song
Cage gets a slap and Cope comes in for Matt and we get some Bucks double teams. Christian gets the choke, but the pop-up uppercut is missed and a Nick PK doesn't! Cope spear is avoided and the Killswitch is avoided by Matt! Cope gets a half crab and Cage stomps the gut and Cage eats a backdrop to the floor and he's smooth with his bumping for his age. Tornado DDT by Cage turned into the locomation Northern Lights! Delayed superplex by Cope to the Bucks! Impaler by Cope! SUPERKICKS OFF A SPEAR ATTEMPT! They pull Cage into a Cope spear off a BTE TRIGGER! BTE TRIGGER GETS 2.9 THANKS TO A COPE SAVE! ANOTHER GETS 2.9 WHEN CAGE KICKS OUT!
Indytaker meets a spear and a killswitch and a spear gets 2.9! Cage uses the belt as bait and gets a wrench and bonks a Buck before a rather shit spear from Cope wins it. The Guns are here to make even more history with this tag title run. FTR is here and their theme is barely audible. NEW LEV-EL UP is here!
Knight vs. Darby for the TNT Title is up. Darby gets a NOAH-ish depth of field entrance and dives through a laminated table. Knight gets 2 after a forearm on the announce table. Darby's head is sliced up badly. They're in fast forward mode with Knight bringing in a ton of chairs and AVALANCHE CODE RED BY DARBY! DCF is out and Borden eats a beating too and BORDEN DROPKICKS DOYLE ON THE TOP! TAPED HAND RANA TO CAGE BY DARBY! Deadlift superplex by Cage to Darby! COAST TO COAST BUT NO IT'S STING!
Sting gives Darby the bat and they set up a FATHER AND SON DIVE OFF A LADDER and he gives his son the honors! Knight and Darby fight on the stage COFFIN DROP OFF THE TRUSS! ANOTHER ONTO THE STRETCHER ALA THE FROG SPLASH! DARBY WINS IT. This was batshit insane in ways I could not predict - like Sting teasing a ladder dive at 68.
Women's title match, which honestly I'd forgotten about. Excalibur talks about Taz leaving and then Nigel maybe being here and then Willow's storybook entrance starts. Goddamn YOU GO WILLOW! And she gets big titty explodey thingies! Nigel is here in a wheelchair!
Ex talks about Willow beating Mercedes for the Strong title. Mercdes' face gets jacked up and Willow eats a buckle. Shotgun knees by Mone gets 2 on the rope! Umaplata by Mone and she wrenches the arm twice. THREE AMIGOS BY MONE! Two hit and WILLOW SUPLEXES HER ON THE FLOOR OFF THE APRON! Mone goes for old school but Willow goes for a Spanish fly for 2! Crossface is on but Willow gets the corner DVD! Mone goes to take her head off with knees but an upkick hits. Moonsault to the back gets 2.5! Willow eats the exposed buckle and the Mone maker gets 2.99! Mone goes for the cast and A POUNCE HITS! AND SHE POUNCES HER INTO AUBREY!
Mone takes the cast off and wrangles the fingers around! Willow goes for something, gets a chair and then gets the belt again for some reason. POWERBOMB GETS 2.9! EXPOSED BUCKLE BOMB ON MONE! AVALANCHE DOCTORBOMB MET WITH A RANA BY MONE! MONE MAKER INTO A BACKSLIDE FOR 2.9! DOCTORBOMB INTO A CROSSFACE BY MONE! Nigel talks about giving up before the rope and MONE GETS THE WIN BY STRANGLE IN THE SAME WAY!
Before she even walks back, we get Mone in a celebration announced for Dynamite and the Rascalz' win early gets the a trios tag title shot - I like that. Makes that match earlier feel bigger. Ospreay gets "Baba O Riley" and MOX GIVES HIM A UNION JACK and some cool filmic shots.
