Recapping American wrestling since 2013. Not only following the current stuff in WWE, Impact and ROH but also going back in time and doing stuff from back then as well.
Will Ospreay heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Ospreay says that a year has gone by since he got surgery and doubt set in on whether or not he could get back and win the big one, as well as his start in the United Kingdom and Scotland where he wrestled weekends and went to work the rest of the week just to get to this point. He says that he loved being in the foxhole with the same people who followed the same dream and learning from the legend of British legends, as well as paying tributes to the ones who are not here anymore. Ospreay says that he did it all to see if he really is the best, and when one talks about the best, it is hard to see past Kenny Omega, and while he knows Omega is not here tonight, nobody respects Omega more than he does. Ospreay says that while there is no better wrestler this decade than Kenny Omega, respect went out the window the moment Omega mentioned his son needing a new hero after he loses to him, as he has some promises to keep for family and friends. He says that Omega will "get the billy goat for sure" as well as the fight of his life, and warns him not to "fuck with a man looking after a boy." Ospreay says there is a debt that needs to be paid, and that "it is time to bring it home." He says Omega will show his boy that heroes are just ordinary people who can do extraordinary things, and that this Sunday, he will take it all.

After the match, Christian Cage shows up and says he does not associate with people who are beneath him, and that as far as tag teams go, The Young Bucks are beneath him despite how influential they have become. Christian says that he and Copeland are the kind of legends that matches and pay-per-views are named after, and that The Young Bucks will learn the difference between "influence" and "legendary." Nick Jackson asks Christian if anyone has ever named a wrestling company after him, then addresses accidentally Superkicking Christian in the face and how it will stop being an accident if Christian keeps up.

Andrade El Idolo's music hits at first, then stops. MJF's entrance theme then plays, and MJF makes his way to the ramp. MJF says it great to be here in "beautiful sunny Ireland," then realized he is in Scotland before calling everybody alcoholics, which actually gets cheered. MJF then says he has paid some people off to "warm Andrade el Idolo up" and that while Andrade is not here, he is. He says that what Andrade does is not special and that he can do the same thing, even though finding a hot chick in Scotland is impossible. He finds a hot chick in the crowd, then Andrade appears MJF and says "How you know?" Andrade then clobbers MJF with the microphone when MJF turns around, and that leads to a brief brawl in the ring that MJF barely escapes from.

Tony Schiavone introduces "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher to the ring. Fletcher says everyone is in the midst of the greatest International Championship reign of all time and that he sees no reason for it to end any time soon, especially at Wembley Stadium. He mentions "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada's statement that family means everything, as he agrees due to his owing Don Callis so much, and while he is willing to go along with Callis' plan, Okada needs to know his role in this. He says that if Okada is as honest about family as he says he is, he will have no problem with him retaining.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Renee Paquette has a sit-down interview with Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay. Ospreay and Omega talk about their first meeting; Ospreay considered it an honor, but he was out of his depth as he looked to make an impression, while Omega knew Ospreay as an oft-mentioned Internet darling, and while he was not blown away, he saw his potential. They also talked about their first meeting in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Omega notes that Ospreay was a completely different athlete at that point and filled his shoes in his absence, but Ospreay's name does not bring fans and money like his name does. Ospreay talks about how New Japan was during the COVID-19 public health emergency and what he had to go through while Omega had "an easy day on the job," and tells Omega not to mention numbers after what he had to go through. After Omega tells Ospreay that they both went through the same thing, Omega then talks about his experiences with Don Callis and how Ospreay had to get Don Callis to host their match in AEW. Ospreay says that Omega embarrassed him, but Omega says he did not have to use Callis in their Tokyo Dome match unlike how Ospreay had to use Callis at Forbidden Door. Ospreay says that the victory was an embarrassment, as everyone said the win was "all down Callis." Omega forgives Ospreay for that and does not hold it against him due to Ospreay's confession, saying it is music to his ears and making it feel like he beat him twice. Omega says that everything changed for him after his bout with diverticulitis, but it made him a better wrestler as he had to use his mind more than his body and he is smarter for it. He then asks Ospreay if he can say the same after coming back from breaking three discs in his neck and challenging him at the best he has ever been, saying Ospreay has quite the confidence in him. Ospreay mentions how every time he asked Omega not to give up on himself, Omega would hide at home for four weeks, and when he said he gave up, it cut his ego. He also feels that Omega does not really see him as his equal. Omega wants to know if Ospreay wants him at his best or at a weakened state, Ospreay says he wants Omega at his best in front of his family, fans and friends at Wembley Stadium, and that he cannot crumble under pressure and he must do it on his own. Ospreay says it has been a ten year chase and that when he beats Omega, he will do it with pride and honor when it matters the most. Omega says it was at 2023, but Ospreay failed, and that Ospreay will fail in his own home country. Security has to step in when Omega briefly mentions Ospreay's mother, and says that while Ospreay has a lot riding on Wembley and that Ospreay brings magic out of him, and that while his mother would be proud of him even if he loses, his son will want a new hero afterwards.Security has to step in when Omega briefly mentions Ospreay's mother, and says that while Ospreay has a lot riding on Wembley and that Ospreay brings magic out of him, and that while his mother would be proud of him even if he loses, his son will want a new hero afterwards.

He states that Andrade will never beat him, win the Casino Gauntlet Match, will not be AEW World Champion, and is also not "a real Latino man." He also says that he is more of a man than Andrade and that while he would challenge Andrade, he will not do it because Andrade is a coward. As Cruz leaves, Andrade shows up, a match is immediately made, and Andrade hits a big boot and the DM to win. Andrade then takes the microphone and addresses MJF in Spanish before calling him out.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Mercedes Moné and Willow Nightingale, who are in separate rooms. Mercedes says she did not beat Willow badly enough because she is still smiling, but Willow says Mercedes will not take her smile or her title. Mercedes says she will end Willow, and Willow says she is smiling because she has the fans. She says the fans hate Mercedes because she tries so hard to be perfect while the fans know her for just being Willow, and that the fans have also seen her win the AEW World Championship and have connected with her along the way. Mercedes says that Willow was constantly in her way and smiling at her, then calls her a bully that everyone loves before telling her she has eleven days left to smile before she takes her smile and her title. Willow leaves her room, as does Mercedes, and both women soon brawl backstage before taking it to the entrance ramp. Officials and security rush out to restore order, and the brawl makes its way into the ring before Willow and Mercedes are pulled apart. Willow and Mercedes soon break free and go at it again, but security and officials move back into place. Mercedes teases getting out of the ring before charging at Willow again, and that leads to her being forced out of the ring and kept out before she is forced to the back.

Knight yanks the microphone away from Schiavone and tells him to get out of the ring as he is uncomfortable with asking too many question, then says he has plenty of answers, especially for Darby Allin, who he says still thinks he is a young boy. Knight says that he is "a grown ass man" and the best TNT Champion of all time before calling Darby out, and Knight demands that Darby's music be cut and that Darby show that he has no weapons on him. Darby opens his jacket and shows no weapons. Knight says that Baltimore, Maryland is unworthy of seeing him fight tonight before telling Darby to get in the ring. Darby refuses, then all of a sudden, the pyro on the stage goes off, blinding Darby so that Knight can blast him with the TNT Championship. Knight then grabs a chair from underneath the ring, hangs Darby upside-down in the corner, wraps the chair around Darby's head, then goes for the coast-to-coast drop kick off the top rope and hits it on the chair. Darby is fitted with a neck brace and put on a stretcher, and Steven Borden, Sting's son and a close friend of Darby, also shows up to check on Darby.
Backstage, as Darby Allin is placed in an ambulance, "The Jet" Kevin Knight shows up and tells Steven Borden to stay in his lane and not to go "where the big boys play." Darby has to hold Borden despite his weakened state, and as Darby is wheeled out, Knight says "He wasn't ready for it, anyway."

All of a sudden, Adam Copeland shows up and fights the three of them before Christian Cage slowly heads to the ring. Copeland and Christian help clean house, but Christian inadvertently gets superkicked by The Young Bucks. Adam Copeland has a shoving match with The Young Bucks, allowing The Don Callis Family to go back on the attack. Omega is alone in the ring as the brawl makes its way backstage, then Will Ospreay shows up. Omega uses his Executive Vice President powers and sics security on Ospreay and tells him to get out like "the little English bitch that [he is]." Ospreay says "I'm gonna kick the shit out of you" and attacks Omega, but Omega hits a restrained Ospreay with the V-Trigger and tosses security out of the ring before giving him one last look at the AEW World Championship and putting him through the table from earlier with a One Winged Angel. At this point, Omega has snapped.
Will Ospreay heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Ospreay talks about his debut in Arena Mexico from last year when his grandfather passed away and how he will leave every single bit of himself in the ring for the fans, then says he is here to set an example. He mentions Kenny Omega not being in the building in Mexico and watching at home, and tells him that he will pull the trigger before stating that Omega is backstage and calling Omega out. Don Callis shows up instead. Callis talks about he turned Omega into the AEW World Champion and had a reign unmatched in AEW history until Omega decided he could do it without him. He talks about how he betrayed Omega and did more to him than diverticulitis ever could and how he brought Ospreay to AEW to face Omega before stating that Ospreay owes everything to him. Callis tells Ospreay that the road to All In will not be paved with gold, but with his own blood. Rocky "Azucar" Romero, Trent Beretta, Jake Doyle and Mark Davis flood out from the crowd into the ring and gang up on Ospreay. All of a sudden, Kenny Omega shows up with a pipe and overpowers the foursome before rearing back with the pipe at Ospreay and stopping short of striking. Omega says he felt that, and says that he has a way with words when he talks from the heart. He says he feels everything Ospreay says, but Ospreay wears his heart on his sleeve. Omega tells Ospreay that he warned him about Don Callis, Jon Moxley and MJF, and that this has made him a fool and will cause him to lose everything. Omega says that this is not the man he wants to fight at Wembley Stadium, then helps him up and tells him that he cannot help him like this again, as from here on out, it is just the two of them. Ospreay says he appreciates the help, but he did not ask for it, and he will not need it. He thanks Omega and leaves.
MJF beats "The Prodigy" Nick Wayne and "Speedball" Mike Bailey to enter the #2 spot in the Casino Gauntlet Match at All In by submission after tossing Speedball out of the ring following an Ultima Weapon to Nick Wayne and making Nick Wayne submit to Salt of the Earth.

He says he has never lost a day in his life, which is why he is walking into Wembley Stadium and leaving with the Casino Gauntlet Contract. When MJF says there is nothing anybody can do to stop him, Andrade el Idolo's theme hits, then MJF laughs, proving it was part of a joke.

Prince Nana tells Tony Schiavone his breath stinks before telling him to get out of the ring, then declares that he and Swerve will be asking the questions going forward. Swerve thinks Hangman and Brodido have become friends through "trauma bonding" after having beef with all of them, mentioning his history with them all before asking Hangman what his legacy will be now. Hangman says he has been watching Swerve for the past year and states that Swerve should not be one to talk about results after his heinous actions this year that he has nothing to show for. Suddenly, The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona) and The Lethal Twist (Jay Lethal, "Vanilla Baby" Blake Christian, "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson) show up, and Ricochet says they are on trios business while questioning why Prince Nana and Swerve are in the ring in the first place, given his history with Swerve. He also says that Brodido and Hangman stole the Trios titles from them, as Toa Liona's shoulders were not on the mat, and that the titles should still be theirs. Ricochet then demands that The Demand get a championship rematch. He then tells Swerve to get out of the ring as he has nine guys out here who all hate him and even more people who hate him in the back, and as Swerve leaves, he says that Brody King does all the barking while Ricochet is the bitch.

She mentions winning the TBS title and becoming an inaugural Women's World Tag Team Champion earlier this year, then thanks her mother for getting her out of a funk when she got hurt, which led to her getting back and becoming Women's World Champion. Willow says "If life has been kicking you around, don't give up. Keep fighting, keep pushing through, because sometimes...sometimes, the comeback is even better than the dream." All of a sudden, Mercedes Moné shows up with a contract in her hands and says she is here for business, and tells her to sign the contract for their match at All In. Willow lays the contract on Mercedes' chest to sign it, which starts a verbal confrontation. After Renee says it is official and leaves, Willow asks Mercedes what her problem is before chalking it up to her holding the Women's World Championship. Mercedes says that one thing she hates most about Willow is not her smile or the fact that the fans love and adore him, it is that every milestone Willow has is written all over her story. She asks if Willow knows how that feels as the fans chant "shut the fuck up," before proclaiming that she will end Willow's fairy tale at All In, as she would be nothing without her and the fans only cheer for her because she stood across the ring for her. Mercedes then wants Willow to admit that she made her, then says she will take her smile along with her title.

Tony Schiavone introduces Kenny Omega to the ring. Omega is soon interrupted by Will Ospreay, and Omega is more than happy to see him, as he showed Ospreay how he felt at Redemption by hitting him with a One Winged Angel hoping he would get it, but now he has to get to the "tell" part. Omega says he cares about Ospreay and cares the world for him and wants the world for him, and mentions the promise they made to do their best and become champions. He says he put their friendship before the title every time, as it brought him joy to see him succeed. He then says that Ospreay repaid him by telling him that he gave up on himself, and says Ospreay has no idea how deep that cut before calling the AEW World Championship a declaration that he never gave up. Omega says that Ospreay was, is and never will be one to talk down to him, and while he tried to warn him about The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir), Ospreay thought he knew better and head to learn the hard lesson himself, and asks Ospreay how it feels now. Ospreay says he came back too early from his neck injury, because all he thought about was revenge, and when he finally had it, it slipped through his fingers, and he lost his confidence. He apologizes for letting the crowd down, and that he had no friends to turn to, including Omega. He says that the guy who took away his old life and the guy he had so much hatred for gave him a new life and an opportunity, and saw Jon Moxley as the guy who would take him where he always wanted to be. Ospreay admits he liked being a Death Rider, as it made him feel like his old self again and he felt like he had killers with him. He says that while he understands The Death Riders' protectiveness, he does not share their philosophy or Jon Moxley's tactics, and when they tried to do to Omega what they did to him, he could not let that happen to Omega. Omega says he did not forget, and that when he felt the chair around his neck and felt that he would have to accept his fate, he heard the crowd and felt the energy, and knew that Ospreay would save him. He says that when he finally saw Ospreay, he saw him with the AEW World Championship and the bag at his feet, and concluded that Ospreay wanted to suffocate him with the bag before accusing Ospreay of setting a trap. When Ospreay tries to defend himself, Omega slaps him. Omega continues to slap him as he asks Ospreay what he is to him now, saying that when Ospreay is put in the pressure burner, he always crumbles. Ospreay finally punches back and nearly hits Omega with a Hidden Blade, then says that as much as he respecst Omega, he will kick the shit out of him the moment he puts his hands on him. He says that he has filled in whenever Omega was not here, and that he has earned his way to the World title and spent his neck to get it, and calls Omega a mountain he has wanted to climb for ten years. He compares their match to the tie-breaking penalty kicks in a football game, then says that he can pull the trigger and that he wants Omega at his best so there are no excuses, and when he does finally pull the trigger, Omega will see it coming.

They are training with Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta as Jon Moxley shows up and tells everyone to get ready.

Moxley says that people make simple things so complicated, and that when the moment comes, they hesitate. He tells Ospreay that he has earned this, and tells him that there will be times where he will have to make some hard decisions. Moxley says this is not a hard decision, and when he has the moment, he will not hesitate; he will pull the trigger.

Matt Jackson talks their and Omega's nearly 20-year friendship and how Omega won the big one all by himself and proved that he is still the best professional wrestler on the planet. Matt then admits that MJF's custom Burberry belt peeves him, and Nick pulls the original AEW World Championship with the black leather strap out of the light brown bag to hand to Omega. Omega says it has been over 1100 days since he last held the AEW World Championship, and admits that he was not sure if he would ever hold it again. He says that as much as he made a promise to himself, it took his friends, his family and his fans believing in him to keep him from giving up on himself. Omega says this was not supposed to happen, and yet, here we are with less than 50 days remaining until Wembley Stadium. He says that as much as he would like to say he is ready, there is still work to do. Omega says that the fans will see the best Kenny Omega that has ever been in AEW before Will Ospreay shows up and heads to the ring. Ospreay asks The Young Bucks if he could speak with Omega alone, which The Young Bucks allow before heading to the back. Ospreay says it is good to see Omega as AEW World Champion again. Ospreay admits he thought that Omega gave up on himself and knew that Omega had to believe in himself, and that when he wrestled MJF, he did not give up once. He says that it will heat up on the way to All In, and says that for ten years, Omega has been his hero and he has watched Omega wrestle around the world as Omega inspired him to be one of the best in the world. Ospreay says that when he thinks of AEW, he thinks of Omega, and that he has always wanted to be a fraction of what Omega is. He then says that he is locked in, and that the two of them will keep it going and show everyone why they are in the position they are in. Ospreay says that this is a dream come true of "Goku and Vegeta fighting it out," and at All In, they will show that AEW is where the best wrestle. Suddenly, "The Jet" Kevin Knight arrives as Omega and Ospreay are about to shake hands. Knight says that he and Omega have some talking to do, and tells Ospreay to leave. Ospreay is about to leave when Omega says Ospreay can stay, and Knight congratulates Omega on becoming AEW World Championship before stating he is still owed a World title shot. He says that "Maxwell Jacob Fraudman" is not here to give him that shot, but Omega is here and he is here to collect. Knight then asks what a god is to a non-believer, as he is ready to become a double champion, and challenges Omega for the AEW World Championship at Redemption. Omega notes that Knight is trying to hold him to a promise MJF made to him, and says that while he is not going to do that, he will give Knight a shot at the title anyway due to the potential that he saw in him. Omega says that he had "it" and had the undeniable factor" and "looked the part," and while Knight was hungry, that was where it ended, as Knight had to align himself with Don Callis. He says he would be a hypocrite if he told everyone here tonight that he did not believe in Callis' siren song and that Callis would lead him to the promised land, as he held the AEW World Championship because of him. He says that nobody believed in that version of him, and that his self-worth fell right down the toilet with Callis. Omega tells Knight he does not need Callis, and that when he believes in Knight, he says the same words that others have said about Knight. He tells Knight that he could have it all on his own with Callis, and while Knight can say what he will about MJF, MJF was not a fraud, as he still defended the title every week and was a man of his word. Omega then says the only fraud he sees is Knight. He says that Knight is not being himself, and that what he is saying is not coming from his heart, which he still believes has some good in it. Omega then says he wants "The Jet," not "Don Callis' lap dop," and he wants Knight to do it on his own. This leads to a "lap dog" chant, and Knight says that while Omega makes a good claim, there is no goodness - only greatness - left in his heart before he hits Omega with the microphone and deftly avoids a Hidden Blade from Ospreay only to get jumped by Darby Allin. "The Machine" Brian Cage shows up and attacks Darby before calling out the rest of The Don Callis Family. Ospreay and Omega are soon joined by Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli, and The Don Callis Family backs off.
