AEW ALL-IN 2024

ALL Elite Wrestling: ALL-IN 2024

Venue: Wembley Stadium, London, England As we went ALL-IN in London, England join Tikitaka and Myself as we relive the event that took place at Wembley Stadium for a second year in row! So we have one thing to ask: Are You ALL-IN?

AEW World Trios Four Way London Ladder Match

Pac&Blackpool Combat Club defeated The Patriachy (C), Bang Bang Gang and The House of Black via retrieving the Championship Belts(18:50)

Chris/Jey says: 

In the first match of the night, we had the Four Way London Ladder Match. I thought this booking was very well executed. As tables, ladder, and chairs were used, it was CHAOS throughout to start this TREMENDOUS Pay-Per-View. I was surprised with PAC teaming with Claudio and Yuta as he got a chance to wrestle at ALL-IN! I did like the spot with Mama Wayne as she was almost put through a table. My only question is how does Jon Moxley feel about PAC being added as a BlackPool Combat Club Member? 

Tiki says: and we start off AEW All-In with a Multi-Tag Team Match! Welcome to our Review of the AEW All-In Premium Live Event. It was a big surprise that Pac teamed up with Claudio and Yuta to get a chance for a Championship Match at All-In… but it was successful! We have brand new World Trios Champions. It was one of the best matches of the night to start of a great PLE with a great crowd. Congrats to the new Champions, now it’s gonna be interesting if Pac joins the Blackpool Combat Club in the next Weeks and what will happen with Jon Moxley?

AEW Womans World Championship Match

“The Glamour” Mariah May defeated “Timeless” Toni Storm (C) w. Luther) via Pinfall (15:15)

Chris/Jey says: The second match of the night was a big surprise as Mariah May won her first major title in AEW. The story was well executed as Timeless Toni Storm and Mariah May were student and teacher. We also had the return of Luther who  wasn’t seen since Mariah May’s Heel Turn. I did not expect this to start the Pay-Per-View  but it is what it is. The build-up was well executed and loved the well deserved win by Mariah May. Well executed Tony Khan. 

Tiki says: the second Match of the Night was a big surprise. We got this one so early because I expected it to be a co-main event. Over the last year the Story about Timeless Toni Storm and Mariah May was one of the best executed stories on the Main Roster of All Elite Wrestling. We had a great build up and the big heel turn from Mariah May after she got her Title Opportunity. The Match at All-In was a great example how Professional Wrestling can work as a package, you have two great superstars in the ring with a great Story. Mariah May won the AEW Women's World Championship in her Home-Country. I'm looking forward to how this story will continue now. Well done AEW five from five

FTW Championship Last Chance Match

Hook defeated Chris Jericho (C ) w. Big Bill and Bryan Keith) via Submission (10:15)

Chris/Jey says: Hook finally got his championship back and was able to overcome the odds against Chris Jericho and The Learning Tree. His eye has been healed and never gave up even though Big Bill got involved. I was so happy when Taz got involved and helped Hook as we got a father-son Tazzmission and Redrum. Many thought we’d get the return of Samoa Joe and hopefully reinforcements in the form of Shibata, but, overall both wrestlers did very well and it was a good Redemption story.

Tiki says: Hook has his Championship Back! He was able to defeat the Learning Tree Chris Jericho in the 3rd Match of the Night. Chris Jericho is still going strong with 53 years of age and does what he loves Professional Wrestling. The Match was basically build up that Hook has a numbers game disadvantage, nobody knew who will help him and if he receives some help. But… he did get some Help! And it was a big surprise, Taz got involved and choked out Bryan Keith. Overall a good match, both Wrestlers did well!

AEW World Tag Team Championship Three Way Match

Young Bucks(C) defeated FTR and The Acclaimed via Pinfall (12:05)

Chris/Jey says: Three of the best tag teams had their time to shine in this triple threat match and it was well booked by Tony Khan and Christopher Daniels. This match proved that Tony Khan has really improved his storytelling as I was invested in this. The crowd atmosphere got invested as well as I was hooked in my seat. We also got a surprise return from this as the Grizzley Young Veteran jumped the barricade attacking FTR. From what it looks like, they are going to be the next contenders for the AEW World Tag Team Championship. 

Tiki says: the three cornerstones of the AEW Tag Team Division had the Chance to Showcase their abilities in a 3 Way Match. It was the right decision from Tony Khan and Christopher Daniels to book the match like this and it proved to be a amazing idea. We had one of the best tag team matches in a AEW Ring. FTR and the Young Bucks are two of the best Tag Teams in the World (in all promotions) and the Acclaimed have really improved. The crowd loved the match and in the end the bucks defended their Tag Team Championships. We also got a huge return after this match with the Grizzled Young Veterans most likely to be the next challengers for the Tag Team Championships.

Casino Gauntlet Match

Christian Cage wins the Gauntlet Match via Pinfall against Kyle O’Reilly (26:00)

Chris/Jey says: The next was the Casino Gauntlet match. I definitely thought “Hangman” Adam Page was going to win it all, but a debuting Ricochet stopped him in his tracks. I was surprised he was able to use the Ricochet name in AEW, but this was definitely one of the biggest surprises. At one point I thought Killswitch was finally going to turn on Christian Cage, but we were proven wrong and he remained loyal. I curious on how Tony Khan is going to book Ricochet, but I’m excited to the dream matches they have planned for him

Tiki says: after the Tag Team Championship it was time to win a contract for a guaranteed World Title opportunity.  “Hangman” Adam Page was the favorite going into this match for a new round against the (here still) World Champion Swerve Strickland but the plans changed and we got two huge surprises. Not only that Ricochet made his long awaited Debut for All Elite Wrestling after leaving the WWE…. we also got a winner that nobody really expected? With help from Killswitch, Christian Cage is the Winner of the Casino Gauntlet and has a guaranteed World Title Shot. 

Chris/Jey Rating: 4.5/5 contracts

Tiki Rating:  3,5 / 5 .. contracts? 

AEW US/International Championship Match

Will Ospreay defeated Maxwell Jacob Friedman(C) via Pinfall (25:50)

Chris/Jey says: This match we got the NEW INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION as Will Opsrey was able to defeat MJF. Thanks to a returning Daniel Garcia, who still hasn’t signed a new contract by the way. I loved Will Osprey’s other assassins, especially Cosplayer Ivy Nile. During, he finally used the Tiger Driver 91 after getting Bryan Danielson’s blessing last week. A lot of excellent back and forth action as this match was a joy to watch. If I had to explain the ending to this match in one word. It would be Fairytale Ending. As Will Osprey was finally able to give MJF the defeat he deserved after making this feud personal.

Tiki says: it was time to elevate the Premium Live Event with maybe the Match of the Night? The first encounter between Will Ospreay and Maxwell Jacob Friedman was a classic, and i wasn’t expecting to see it on a regular TV Episode of Dynamite. Both Superstars are two of the best in the world currently and this match was a joy to watch. A lot of great spots and bumps and a returning Daniel Garcia. The biggest question before and during the match: are we going to see the Tiger Driver 91 from Will Ospreay and… surprise: Will Ospreay indeed used the Tiger Driver 91 after weeks of not doing it. “The most dangerous” Move was the decider in this match and we have a new International Champion! Congrats Will Ospreay, there is nothing more to say. Thank you Will and MJF! 

Chris/Jey Rating: 5/5 Tiger Driver 91 and 10/5 for Cosplayer Max Caster throughout the night.

Tiki Rating: 5/5 Tiger Driver 91 

AEW TBS Championship Match

Mercedes Mone(C) W/Kamile) defeated Dr. Britt Baker via Pinfall 17:25)

Chris/Jey says: No idea how to put this, but AEW did well with the buildup. Love the storyline as both women were spitting facts in the last couple of months. The crowd was a on fire for this match especially when Britt Baker pulled an Eddie Guerrero on Kamile ejecting her from the match. I fully expected Jaime Hayter to make her return this match evening up the odds, but regardless Mercedes Mone retained. Can’t wait to see who steps to challenge the TBS Champion after ALL-IN. 

Tiki says: i’m not sure where to start here, AEW did great with the build up of this match. One of the best booked storylines in the last couple of months with a returning Britt Baker who finally wants to win a Championship. The first woman that got signed with AEW Wrestling proved why she’s a crowd favorite. The Wembley Crowd was hot for this match and supported both Woman very well. I think most Fans expected Britt Baker to win the Championship but we got a surprise, Mercedes Mone is still our TBS Champion. Now is the question who is gonna Challenge “Mone” next? Maybe a returning Jamie Hayter?

AEW TNT Championship Coffin Match

Jack Perry(C) defeated Darby Allin by closing Allin within the coffin (10:40)

Chris/Jey says: In the Co-Main Event of the Evening the coffin match. This was Darby Allin’s specialty as he returned to get vengeance on The Elite, but settled for “Scapecoat” Jack Perry. In getting the match himself Darby went to great length, threatening to set Jack Perry on fire once again! After battles with The Elite he got the match couldn’t get the win he hoped for. On top that , The Elite tried to set him on fire inside the coffin, but out came STIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGGGG! Saving his former tag team partner. I hope this feud continues as this is one of the best storylines so far. Let’s just hope the rest of Team AEW can get back on the same page against The Elite

Tiki says: it’s time for the Co-Main Event of the Evening and it’s a match nobody had on their Bingo Cards. Jack Perry had to leave All Elite Wrestling because of Backstage Problems (as we know…) and came back with a vengeance. He became the TNT Champion after Adam Copeland sadly had to relinquish the Championship with a bad knee Injury at Dynamite in Inglewood. A Tournament was the choice of AEW to crown a new championship and Jack Perry won the Championship at Forbidden Door 2024 in Long Island, New York. Darby Allin was able to get a title shot for the TNT Championship at Blood and Guts. the match at all in was as expected a firework of two top talents having a championship match at the highest stage of professional Wrestling. At the end Jack Perry was able to defend his match, the biggest surprise happened after the Match with a returning STING helping his former Tag Team Partner Darby Allin to fight off the Elite and Perry.

AEW World Championship Title vs. Career Match

Bryan Danielson defeated Swerve Strickland(C) via Submission (26:00)

Chris/Jey says: I absolutely loved this match overall. Bryan Danielson proved why he really is the greatest wrestler in the world. AEW and Tony Khan made sure to get us glued into our seats as we were in for a match of all ages. Swerve and Bryan also had history as in the past. Prince Nana even got involved Bryan was bleeding and I was expecting Brie to jump the barricade and slap Nana in the face. This match was an all time classic reminiscent of  Wrestlemania 30. Putting his career on the line a lot of us were not sure where the future of Bryan Danielson was going to be. I did take notice as Swerve was wearing Hurt Business Colors. Which wonder Swerve turns heel, which I hope doesn’t happen. 

Overall I loved how Tony Khan booked this Pay-Per-View. It could use more work, but I have faith he will improve. As a wrestling fan in general, I love that AEW and WWE are in competition with each other because they push each other put on the best wrestling product to give us fans.

Tiki says: the most emotional match in the history of AEW, the main event of All-In London 2024! Bryan Danielson announced that he will retire in the near future after having multiple injuries on his neck and problems with his arms and shoulders. But he didn’t want to leave the big stage without having the chance to prove why he is one of the best, if not the best wrestlers in the World. By winning the Owen Hart Tournament, he was able to gain a Title Shot against Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Championship at All-In 2024. AEW made sure we get a great build up with multiple hints that Bryan could be having his last match and also adding a stipulation by “Title vs. Career”. A lot of people we’re unsure who’s gonna win the Match, if they really gonna let Swerve lose or if Bryan will Wrestle his final Match on the 25th in London. 

The Match was great, one of the best Matches that Bryan Danielson had during his All Elite Wrestling run, it was an up and down for the Fans of Bryan Danielson because Swerve was sure and determined to defend his AEW World Championship that he won against Samoa Joe. During the middle of the match it really looked like Swerve will have and keep the upper hand and defend his Championship against the Leader of the Yes-Movement. But things changed when Swerve Strickland made the mistake by “attacking” Bryan's Family (Brie and their two kids at ringside), the crowd also helped Danielson to get back into the match and after 25 Minutes Bryan was able to lock in the Labelle Lock/Yes Lock, Swerve nearly escaped the submission but Bryan Danielson is one of the best Submission Wrestlers in the History of Professional Wrestling, he was able to full lock the submission and make Swerve tap out! (Sidenote: it was mentioned that Swerve never tapped out during his AEW run!) 

Bryan Danielson became the new AEW World Champion and Wembley Celebrated one of the best Wrestlers of our Generation. Now we have to see what's next for Bryan Danielson!
