We see an interview from earlier this week between Jeff Jarrett and "Hangman" Adam Page.

The Sons of Texas ("The Natural" Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara, Marshall Von Erich, Ross Von Erich) beat Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, "Taiga Style" Lee Moriarty, "The Captain" Shawn Dean, "Bad News and Tattoos" Carlie Bravo) in an eight-man tag match during Zero Hour following five simultaneous Iron Claws, including one to Anthony Ogogo from Kevin Von Erich. Earlier in the match, Anthony Ogogo threatens Kevin Von Erich, but Dustin Rhodes' grandsons, Wayne and Wyatt, show up to back Kevin up.

It is announced that Tony Khan cannot medically clear Adam Cole and that the TNT Championship - which is now vacant - will be defended in a four-way match between Daniel Garcia, "The Natural" Dustin Rhodes, "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher and Sammy Guevara. With this match, Dustin and Guevara will be competing twice in the same night.

During the match, Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) get involved in the match, but they are soon taken out by The Gunns (Austin and Colten Gunn), who then hit Ricochet with 3:10 to Yuma before continuing to brawl their way to the back with Gates of Agony.



Backstage, we hear from Stokely Hathaway. He says that he and FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) are done with The Outrunners (Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd) and that FTR wil be watching tonight's tag team title match closely as they are the special guest commentators for that match. Stokely says that FTR hopes everyone in the match has a good time.

Adam Cole heads to the ring. Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong watch from ringside as Adam apologizes for letting everyone down and states that he has health problems that not only keep from wrestling tonight, but will also keep out of the ring for a while. He admits that while he is not in the proper headspace for retirement, Adam says that if this is goodbye, then AEW's fans are the best fans in the world. He says that he always dreamed of being a professional wrestler since he was nine years old and that the fans have made that dream come true and have been supportive every step of the way during his highest and lowest moments. He proclaims that there will be a new TNT Champion tonight and that AEW will do pay-per-view like no one else in the world, and thanks the fans for making AEW special, making AEW what it is and for changing his life. Adam, O'Reilly and Roderick then embrace in the ring. On their way out, Daniel Garcia and "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard head to the ring and briefly speak with Cole on the way there. "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard then guests on commentary for the next match.

For The Young Bucks' (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) entrance, The Young Bucks have a "Washington Crosses the Delaware"-inspired entrance where they head towards the ring on a boat.

Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland beat The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson). As per pre-match stipulation, The Young Bucks are stripped of their Executive Vice President positions and powers. (Had Ospreay and Strickland lost, they would have been unable to challenge for the AEW World Championship for one year.)

Early in the match, Penelope Ford tries to get involved, but Harley Cameron shows up in a pink protective face mask for the first time since Penelope Ford and Megan Bayne broke her nose and shoves her off the top rope. Anna Jay suddenly shows up and also confronts Penelope Ford, and she and Harley chase Penelope to the back. Also during the match, Mina Shirakawa puts Skye Blue in a Figure Four Leg Lock, makes Skye Blue taps out and thinks she has won only to find out that Skye Blue is not even part of the match just before eventual winner Athena arrives.



FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) guest on commentary for the next match. Before the next match. Westside Gunn, Smoke DZA and MVP perform during The Hurt Syndicate's (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, MJF) entrance.

The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin) retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships against The Patriarchy (Christian Cage and "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne) and JetSpeed ("Speedball" Mike Bailey and "The Jet" Kevin Knight) after tossing Christian Cage into FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler), disrespecting them with a pieface to Dax and sending Christian Cage into FTR when they try to get into the ring. After the match, FTR annd Stokely Hathaway get in the ring to confront Christian only for Nick Wayne and Kip Sabian to defend Christian. As Christian, Nick Wayne and Sabian leave, Nick Wayne pulls Christian back into the ring and hits him with the Killswitch. FTR and Kip Sabian then grab two more steel chairs to add to the one that Sabian has entered the ring with so that Nick Wayne can hit Christian with the Con-Chair-To, but before Nick Wayne can do the deed, Adam Copeland shows up with Spike in his hands to fight through both The Patriarchy, Kip Sabian and FTR. He soon sends Nick Wayne running after stopping him from striking him with a metal folding chair before hitting Sabian with a Spear, and FTR and Stokely Hathaway jump over the barricade to get away from Copeland. Christian begs Copeland off, but Copeland throws Spike down and helps Christian up before telling him "Go...find yourself."

All In 2023 - The Results



Powerhouse Hobbs is in the ring for a contract signing. After stating that he has a contract for a match for next week sitting on the table that Miro has not yet signed and bragging about leaving Miro laying the last time they met, he says that he will be heading back to America because "80,000 of you chavs" do not deserve to see him. Miro shows up, and Hobbs tells him to "sign the goddamn contract." Miro signs the contract, then moves the table to the side and has a staredown with him. Hobbs back up and pretends to leave, but gets back in the ring and starts a brawl. Security moves into place, but Miro soon starts laying everyone out. As Hobbs is held back, Miro says a contract is just wods, and tells him that next week at All Out, redemption is coming and it will looked like a jacked Bulgarian who will break his spine and make him humble. (One of the security uards is, interestingly, Simon Miller from WhatCulture Wrestling.)

Tony Schiavone is in the ring. As he thanks the fans for being in Wembley Stadium tonight for All In on behalf of AEW, Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, Satnam Singh and Karen Jarrett show up. Jeff Jarrett tells Schiavone to get out of the ring and insults him for giving the fans credit for paving the way to the biggest event in history, saying the United States paved the way. He also says that American fans are much better than British fans and that American wrestlers and promoters paved the way for the event, not British wrestlers, even calling World of Sport an "independent local yokel show." As Jeff states that his own family paved the way for the event, Paul Wight and Anthony Ogogo show up with Grado, whom Jarrett has been insulting on X (formerly Twitter). Paul Wight knocks out Satnam Singh with one punch, and Grado hits Jeff Jarrett with some bionic punches before Paul Wight choke slams Jay Lethal and throws Jeff Jarrett into a knockout punch by Anthony Ogogo. Grado then hits Jeff Jarrett with his own guitar.

MJF and Adam Cole beat Aussie Open (Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis) to become the ROH World Tag Team Championships after MJF hits both members of Aussie Open with the Kangaroo Kick and MJF and Cole hit Fletcher with the double clothesline.

Mercedes Mone is seen in the crowd.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. Britt says she never thought that she would be in London, England, then states that the women's division has become complacent despite the road that she has paved while she was AEW Women's World Champion, and admits that she too fell complacent and took a back seat assuming someone would rise to the occasion. She then says that there is only one her, and after almost five years after showing up happy to be there, she will walk in a bona-fide star ready and determined more than ever to prove that she is the baddest on the black before she walks out as Women's World Champion and starts a new era.

Hook beats Jack Perry with Redrum to become a two-time FTW Champion. (During the match, Jack Perry knocks on the front windshield as he stays "You see this right here? Real glass! Go cry me a river!" This is a direct shot towards CM Punk shooting down the use of real glass in a segment on Collision, which angered Perry. Perry also had a backstage confrontation with Punk before his match, which leads to both men being ordered out of the venue after their matches and later suspended pending an internal investigation by AEW, which leads to Punk's firing from AEW the day before All Out.)

CM Punk retains the Real World Championship against Samoa Joe with the Pepsi Plunge. (This ends up being CM Punk's last match in AEW, following his suspension and eventual firing the day before All Out.)

Konosuke Takeshita and Bullet Club Gold ("Switchblade" Jay White and "Rock Hard" Juice Robinson) beat Kenny Omega, "Hangman" Adam Page and Kota Ibushi in a trios match after Konosuke is able to roll up Kenny Omega from out of nowhere.

Before the next match, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) comes out to "A Superkick Knocks You Out," a thinly veiled superkicked parody of Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust." (The Young Bucks' entrance gear are also a reference to Freddy Mercury.)

FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships against The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson). After the match, FTR extend their hands for a handshake, but The Young Bucks walk away.

Eddie Kingston, Penta El Zero Miedo, Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta), and Orange Cassidy beat The Blackpool Combat Club (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta) and Proud and Powerful (Santana and Ortiz) in a Stadium Stampede Match that sees Sue show up with weapons, Penta el Zero Miedo becoming Penta Oscura mid-match and Orange Ciassy beating Claudio Castagnoli with four Orange Cassidy - the last one covered in glas - to get the pinfall.

Saraya beats Toni Storm, Britt Baker, D.M.D. and Hikaru Shida in a Fatal 4-Way Match to become the AEW Women's World Champion! During the match, Saraya's mother Sweet Saraya holds down Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. so that Toni Storm can chop her, but Britt eventually ducks and Toni inadvertently hits Sweet Saraya instead. This leads to Saraya (the daughter, not the mother) to go at it with Toni throughout the match, and as Dr. Britt Baker has Hikaru Shida in the lockjaw, Saraya (again, the daughter, not the mother) spray paints Toni in the face and pins her to become the new champion before celebrating with her family in the ring after the match.

Flash Garments and DJ Whoo Kid perform Swerve Strickland's theme before the next match. Also before the next match, we see footage of Sting and Darby Allin in London, with Sting wearing a coat and a top hat as they walk down an alley. Darby says "It's time, isn't it?", with Sting saying it's not just time, it's showtime. When Sting and Darby to the ring, it is to the tune of "Search and Destroy" by Metallica.

Sting and Darby Allin beat Swerve Strickland and Christian Cage in a Coffin Match.

Before the next match, Fozzy performs "Judas" (and Chris Jericho pays tribute to Freddy Mercury).



Will Ospreay beats Chris Jericho. After the match, Sammy Guevara helps Jericho up, but Jericho gently pushes him away and leaves.

Nigel McGuinness announces that 81,035 fans have attended tonight's event, beating WrestleMania 3's attendance record and making a new worldwide record for a professional wrestling event. (Two weeks later, following a freedom of information request to the local council, it is revealed that attendance at All In was not the reported number of 81,035 and was actually around 72,265.)

The Acclaimed ("Platinum" Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn) beat The House of Black (Malakai Black, Brody King, Buddy Matthews) to become the AEW World Trios Champions! The "Dealer's Choice" stipulation for this match is a no-holds-barred match. Mercedes Mone is seen in the crowd during and after the match. After the match, The House of Black personally award the trios titles to The Acclaimed, then Anthony Bowens says that he and Max have made good on their promise to bring Billy Gunn back to the top with gold around his waist before The Acclaimed scissor in the ring.

Before the next match, MJF makes a special entrance on a push-platform throne as "The Devil," complete with an orchestral rendition of his theme while vestal virgins worship him from both sides.

MJF retains the AEW World Championship against Adam Cole. During the match, both men pin each other after hitting each other with a clothesline at the same time, and the match is declared a draw. Much like in their last match, Adam Cole takes the microphone and demands five more minutes, but MJF tells him that five more minutes isn't enough and that they are going until they have a winner. Shortly after this, Adam Cole collides with referee Bryce Remsburg, knocking Remsburg down. MJF grabs a chair and thows it to Cole, who then throws it back to MJF before both of them toss it back and forth. Adam Cole flinches and falls down when MJF rears back, then MJF puts the chair around his neck. When the referee comes to, Adam Cole is getting up, and he gets chewed out by Remsburg before MJF goes for a schoolkid pin. Later on, MJF dodges a Panama Sunrise attempt, and Bryce Remsburg ends up being the recipient of the move, allowing MJF to put on his Dynamite Diamond Ring to use it as a weapon. When he tries to use it as a weapon, however, he is conflicted, and he puts it away. Suddenly, Roderick Strong shows up from behind MJF, and he kicks MJF in the groin before telling Adam Cole to finish MJF off. Cole hits the Panama Sunrise follwed by The Boom, but Remsburg is still down and is late to the count. Roderick Strong then demands that Adam Cole hit MJF with the AEW World Championship, for he is his best friend and not MJF. Cole picks up the world championship, but he cannot bring himself to blast MJF with it and throws it out of the ring. Roderick Strong angrily leaves and heads to the back, then Adam Cole picks MJF up only for MJF to win and retain with an inside cradle. After the match, MJF tells Adam Cole not to feel bad and that it could have gone either way, and that he got lucky. He then tells Adam Cole that they still have the ROH World Tag Team Championships as he hands the tag team itles, but when Cole throws his tag title out of the ring out of frustration, MJF goes off and says Cole never cared about him before calling him "a fake piece of shit," then tells him to take the AEW World Championship and just get it over with before turning his back so that Adam Cole can betray him. Roderick Strong shows up again and demands Adam Cole do this, but he cannot bring himself to do it. MJF and Adam Cole then hug it out, and Roderick Strong angrily looks at Adam Cole from a distance alongside The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett) while MJF and Cole celebrate in the ring. It is then announces that All In will return to Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday, August 25, 2024.

After the match, footage plays of an unconscious and supposedly dead Joey Ryan's penis becoming erect, then men in white penis suits walk out and approach the ring. They all line the middle of the stage in a manner similar to The Undertaker's druids, then it is revealed that Joey Ryan is still alive. Joey Ryan then makes quick work of Adam Page, who believes that he should be dead, then he rolls Page to the men in the white penis suits, who proceed to carry Page to the back like Jesus on the cross as the crowd chants "rest in penis."
