Participants: Private Party, Dark Order, Jay Lethal, Ari Daivari, Satnam Singh, and Anthony Ogogo vs. "Dynamite Kid" Tommy Billington, Kip Sabian, Rocky Romero, Top Flight, Action Andretti, and Lio Rush.

The action kicked off Sunday with a competitor-packed match that gave fans watching at home and inside Wembley a taste of things to come.

The action was hot, the spots were plentiful and none of it had much to do with any ongoing stories whatsoever.

The fans were into it, though, and the late moments of the contest saw the competitors break out all of the hits, leading to Dante Martin scoring the win for his team with a crossover frog splash to Daivari.

No harm, no foul and several involved had an opportunity to live a moment.

Billington, Sabia, Romero, Top Flight, Andretti, and Rush defeated Private Party, Dark Order, Lethal, Daivari, Singh, and Ogogo

Top Moments and Takeaways

• "He has a pencil and hits him with the papers," commentator Matt Menard questioned Sonjay Dutt's use of weapons.
• "What a match. I've never seen eight-on-eight before," Tony Schiavone said. There's a reason for that. 
• This was your typical "get everyone on the show" match, where those not already on the card had the opportunity to show out in front of the London fans. It was an action-packed contest that broke down late with everyone hitting their trademark stuff. If nothing else, it gave a platform for Billington, Sabian and Ogogo to compete in front of their hometown fans and friends.

Willow Nightingale earned a measure of revenge on Kris Statlander and Stokely Hathaway for their betrayal earlier this year, teaming with Tomohiro Ishii to defeat them in a Mixed Tag Team match.

Most of the bout was centered around Nightingale and Statlander, who have established chemistry and are strong workers.

The tags that brought Ishii and Hathaway into the contest provided entertainment, as the latter's hubris led him to pain and suffering and, ultimately, a win for the babyfaces.

An inoffensive, fun match, it set the table for next week's match between Nightingale and Statlander, which the former gets to choose the stipulation for by way of her victory here.

Result

Nightingale and Ishii defeated Statlander and Hathaway

Grade

C+

Top Moments and Takeaways

• Much of the time was spent on Nightingale and Statlander, meaning they probably could have gotten away with Ishii and Hathaway interacting at ringside rather than in this mixed tag team setting.
• Hathaway is a treasure and should be protected at all costs. He gets the showmanship of pro wrestling and was great here.
• Ishii sold more for Statlander's forearm than he has anyone in years. Good for him because she is great.
• Hathaway broke out a quality spinebuster on Ishii.

Participants: Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara, Katsuyori Shibata, and Ross and Marshall Von Erich vs. Matt Taven, Mike Bennett, Toa Linoa, Bishop Kaun, and Brian Cage

The second multi-man tag match aimed at getting everyone on the card saw Ring of Honor tag team and trios champion Dustin Rhodes captain his team to victory over the Undisputed Kingdom and the Cage of Agony in 10-man tag team action.

Like the opening match, there was not much cohesion from a narrative standpoint but it packed a ton of action into its run time and put the new team of Rhodes and Guevara over.

Result

Rhodes, Guevara, the Von Erichs and Shibata defeated Cage of Agony and the Undisputed Kingdom

Grade

C+

Top Moments and Takeaways

• Guevara and Cage both wore Wolverine-inspired gear, looking like more cohesive partners than some of the pairings through these first two packed tag matches.
• Rhodes broke out a spin-a-rooni in a nice callback to his time spent teaming with Booker T.
• Whether it is in WWE or AEW, the Cross Rhodes draws a big pop.

An enraged Saraya made her way to the ring, flanked by the entire Knight family, and attempted to hold up the show in protest at not having a match on Sunday's card.

Jamie Hayter made her long-awaited return and laid out everyone before standing tall to close out the segment.

It was the first of what many were expecting to be countless unforgettable moments and one that instantly bolsters what is already a loaded women's division.

Hayter was on one of the most impressive runs of any woman in any company prior to the injury that forced her from the ring for the last year.

Now that she's back, it will be interesting to see if she picks up where she left off with a championship chase or finds herself in a side program with Saraya.

Either way, the division is better for her being in it, and her return created considerable excitement ahead of the official start of the show.

Participants: House of Black (Malakai Black, Buddy Matthews, and Brody King) vs. Claudio Castagnoli, PAC and Wheeler Yuta vs. The Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson and The Gunns) vs. The Patriarchy (Christian Cage, Nick Wayne, and Killswitch)

PAC missed last year's All In due to a potentially career-ending injury. Sunday, he made up for the disappointment, fending off Cage to capture the AEW World Trios Championship alongside Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta in a punishing London ladder match.

The triumph was the culmination of a high-risk contest that saw several incredible bumps and spots, all equally dangerous and awe-inspiring.

Robinson stood out, taking several of those big spills, and Mother Wayne played a key role at two different spots, but it ultimately came down to a miscommunication between Cage and Killswitch that led to The Bastard's victory.

This was nonstop action, the likes of which sends a message and sets a tone. It worked and laid the foundation for everything to follow on the main card.

Result

Castagnoli, PAC and Wheeler won the titles

Grade

B+

Top Moments and Takeaways

• There was a heavy emphasis from the get-go that PAC missed out on All In a year ago. It planted the seeds for the title change.
• Mother Wayne teased climbing the ladder and retrieving the belts, but The Gunns stopped her.
• The first big ladder spot saw The Gunns with stereo sleepers on Castagnoli and King, only to be driven off one of the ladders and through the tables below.

The best storyline in all of AEW concluded Sunday, with Mariah May defeating "Timeless" Toni Storm for the women's world title.

An emotionally and physically intense match started with an exchange of hard-hitting rights and lefts, built into some quality heat for May, and it saw Storm avenge her brutal betrayal by bloodying the challenger with a Storm Zero on the ring steps.

Her love for May, though, proved costly as she hesitated to attack her with the same shoe that did her in, allowing the heel to take advantage of the opening with two running knees and a Storm Zero of her own for the win.

This was an incredible match, one that meshed physicality with expert storytelling from two women who excelled at every stage of this months-long program.

An instant classic, it will be one of the most buzzed-about matches on the card.

Result

May defeated Storm to win the title

Grade

A+

Top Moments and Takeaways

• May slapped her mother at ringside, really putting over the idea of her slow descent into madness.
• Luther made an appearance for the first time since being thrown off the stage by May during her betrayal of Storm.
• May looked like a world-beater here, surviving Storm Zero on the steps, kicking out of another and repeatedly showing defiance in the face of Storm's onslaught.

Hook defeated Chris Jericho Sunday to regain the FTW Championship, marking his third reign with the title his father, Taz, introduced three decades earlier.

The deciding match in the months-long feud relied heavily on interference from Jericho's lackeys, "Bad Apple" Brian Keith and Big Bill, not to mention a considerable amount of plunder.

The most notable spot came late when Hook trapped Jericho in the Kata Ha Jime and Keith attempted to interfere. Taz left the announce table, trapped the Bad Apple in his own version of the move and watched as his son tapped out Jericho to win the match.

Hopefully, this is the end of the rivalry. More importantly, though, hopefully it brings about a hiatus for Jericho because no one performer in AEW needs it more than he does at this point.

Result

Hook defeated Jericho to win the FTW title

Grade

C+

Top Moments and Takeaways

• So, uh, is Fozzy performing at All In going to be a thing every year?
• The fans in London have a very loud, vocal love for Big Bill. Good for him. 
• Hook threw blind punches, reflecting that his vision was adversely affected after Jericho clocked him in his previously injured eye.
• Except...he then revealed that he could actually see and it was all a ploy.

The Young Bucks defended the AEW World Tag Team Championship in the night's next contest, a three-way dance against FTR and The Acclaimed.

The match was full of nonstop action and too many bodies. The action here was nowhere near as disjointed as some of the bouts earlier in the show, but the chemistry was lacking. Still, there were plenty of fun spots, elevating its quality.

After the Bucks retained with an EVP trigger to Dax Harwood, Grizzled Young Vets' Zack Gibson and James Drake hit the ring and stared down the retaining champions before jumping FTR.

The reintroduction of the critically acclaimed team further enhances a division that is already brimming with quality tandems. While that's a good thing, teasing the idea of another multi-team rivalry over the tag titles is not the most appealing thing given the lackluster build to Sunday's title match.

Result

The Young Bucks defeated FTR and The Acclaimed

Grade

B

Top Moments and Takeaways

• The Bucks employed a Sgt. Pepper theme for their entrance. The crowd did not react.
• Someone should take the mic away from Caster at this point. It's all diminishing returns at this point.
• Caster joined Matt Jackson for an EVP Trigger, then Wheeler for a Shatter Machine in a fun spot.

Order of Entry: Orange Cassidy, Kazuchika Okada, Nigel McGuinness, Kyle O'Reilly, Zack Sabre Jr., Roderick Strong, Mark Briscoe, Hangman Page, Jeff Jarrett, Ricochet, Christian Cage, Luchasaurus

AEW promised the unexpected in the Casino Gauntlet match for a shot at the AEW World Championship, and it did not disappoint.

First, we got the in-ring return of legendary former Ring of Honor world champion and commentator Nigel McGuinness. From there, we had a special appearance from New Japan Pro-Wrestling star and 2024 G-1 winner, Zack Sabre Jr.

The most unforgettable moment came when Ricochet made his AEW debut entering through the curtain to a thunderous ovation and wasting little time showcasing his explosive offense.

Despite all of the surprises and some superb in-ring content that came about because of them, it was the arrival of Christian Cage late in the match that set up the finish.

Luchasaurus emerged from the locker room as the final entrant, teasing that he had set aside the Killswitch moniker and was about to put an end to his relationship with the leader of The Patriarchy, only to lay out O'Reilly and hand Cage the victory and title opportunity.

The finish was a letdown considering everything that preceded it. We had already seen more than our fair share of teases from the dino-masked big man that his partnership with Cage was about to come to an end, only for him to do what was in the best interest of the heel.

It was wholly unnecessary.

Cage could have stolen a victory in any other form or fashion that would not have felt as repetitive as this did.

Result

Cage won the guaranteed title opportunity

Grade

A

Top Moments and Takeaways

• The crowd came unglued for McGuinness' arrival. It was legitimately one of the best, most rewarding moments of the show to see a decorated professional wrestler have that moment in front of his fellow Brits.
• Jarrett received his own massive pop, an indication that fans' respect for The Last Outlaw will ultimately turn him into a full-blown babyface, something few could have expected from him in AEW.
• Karen Jarrett distracted Page at one point and her husband, Jeff, laid him out with a guitar shot to essentially take the former world champion out of the equation.

Will Ospreay made a successful homecoming Sunday, defeating self-proclaimed "AEW American" champion MJF and bringing back the AEW International Championship.

The victory came at the end of a match that was every bit as good as one would expect and also hit all of the storyline notes along the way.

MJF worked over the previously injured neck of Ospreay, and he appeared poised to steal a win via championship shot to the face late on. The resilient babyface fought through it, kicked out at two, and remained in the fight.

From there, an unknown competitor clad in black appeared, preventing MJF from utilizing brass knuckles. He removed his mask, revealing himself to be Daniel Garcia.

The distraction set up a Hidden Blade, and Ospreay finished his opponent with the Tiger Driver 91 for the win.

Result

Ospreay defeated MJF to win the title

Grade

A

Top Moments and Takeaways

• MJF sported "Made in the USA" Lex Luger-inspired tights. Phenomenal. 
• The reversals and counters here were extraordinary. MJF countered a Storm Breaker into Cross Rhodes for a two-count. Ospreay returned the favor, catching a lariat attempt and transitioning right into a Storm Breaker for a two-count.
• Is there any move over the last decade that has been more devalued than the Canadian Destroyer?
• The presentation of Ospreay in Wembley, both last year and this, has been nothing short of outstanding. The pyro from the top of the stadium hammers home the enormity of his star.

Mercedes Moné and Britt Baker had the unenviable task of following up MJF vs. Ospreay in front of a crowd already five hours into the show. They did their best, with a quality match that struggled to get the fans to invest in it.

Moné worked over the injured back of her challenger, punishing her in an attempt to take away her core and power advantage. Baker fought back but struggled to muster sustained offense as the TBS champion controlled the pace.

As she mounted a comeback, Baker did her best Eddie Guerrero impression and got her opponent's muscle, Kamille, ejected from the ringside area. Even with the odds in her favor, though, the challenger could not best her opponent.

Moné delivered the Moné Maker and scored the pinfall victory.

The effort was there, but the chemistry was off and the crowd really struggled to get into it. Perhaps it was the one-dimensional nature of the story that accompanied it.

Whatever the case, it was a good match that never really reached that "dream" level expected when the matchup was announced.

Result

Moné defeated Baker to retain

Grade

B-

Top Moments and Takeaways

• Baker entered amid the Wembley roof pyro while Moné arrived in a carriage full of corgis. Yes, you read that right. 
• The crowd was not along for the ride with this one as it had been for everything else. It could have been the reflection of a long, exhausting card or proof that the fans did not buy into this program, despite its dream-match nature. 
• Baker reversed a second bodyslam from the ropes into a powerslam of her own in a cool spot.

Jack Perry handed Darby Allin his first loss in a Coffin match Sunday and retained his TNT Championship in the process.

The Scapegoat overcame an early onslaught by Allin, who had thumbtacks glued to his face, and neutralized him. First, he bound his hands together and then his feet.

He tossed Allin off the ramp and through a table below. Despite one last-gasp attempt by the babyface to mount some comeback, Perry was able to put him in the coffin and close the lid for the win.

Afterward, The Young Bucks appeared with a gas can and doused the coffin in flammable liquid. Before they could escalate the situation, the lights went out and Sting made his way to the ring. He laid out the Bucks while Perry escaped.

From there, The Icon helped Allin and stood tall to cement his return to the company.

This very much felt like a match that was short-changed on time. It felt like a CliffsNotes version of an Allin PPV match rather than the wild, chaotic brawl we have typically seen out of him.

Maybe that was always the plan, to put Perry over strong. If so, it worked.

Result

Perry defeated Allin

Grade

B-

Top Moments and Takeaways

• Perry broke out the glass, spilled it in the ring and stood, arms spread, while a portion of the audience chanted "cry me a river." 
• The pacing here was all over the place, potentially the result of the time constraints.
• Sting returning to save Allin always felt like a possibility given the numbers disadvantage. How that affects things moving forward remains to be seen.

Bryan Danielson won the AEW World Championship in the closing moments of All In, defeating the seemingly unbeatable Swerve Strickland to claim his first singles title in the company and preserving his in-ring career for another day.

It wasn't easy, though.

Danielson overcame damage to his head and neck, including a crimson mask caused by a focused and relentless Strickland. Everything he threw at the champion, Strickland brushed off, seemingly unfazed by the offense of The American Dragon.

The turning point came when "Hangman" Adam Page jumped over the guardrail and attempted to interfere. The distraction allowed Danielson to fight his way back into the match but did not guarantee him victory.

Instead, it was a busaiku knee to the back of the head and the LeBell Lock, with a little joint manipulation thrown in for good measure, that allowed the babyface to earn the win and title.

This was a phenomenal match; one that lived up to the expectations, with some strong story beats in the form of Strickland's continued willingness to make things personal with his opponent's family and Page's interference.

The post-match celebration was special and made the Danielson victory feel like one of the biggest moments in the history of AEW, which it is.

How long we have the new champion for remains to be seen, but he is a competitor who long ago earned the spotlight and championship that Sunday's victory provided.

Result

Danielson defeated Strickland to win the title

Grade

A+

Top Moments and Takeaways

• Swerve wore the trademark robe of Jimmy Rave to the ring, an ode to the late performer and a throwback to Prince Nana's Embassy during the Ring of Honor days.
• Strickland delivered a Death Valley Driver on the apron, head-first into the ring bell, damaging Danielson's neck. 
• The champion trash-talked Danielson's daughter, Birdie, telling her he was about to make sure daddy was home...permanently. 
• The ringside physicians were called into the ring to check on Danielson at one point, but Strickland chased them away.
• Strickland absorbed everything Danielson threw at him and dusted his shoulder off.

The biggest show of the AEW calendar delivered.

Toni Storm and Mariah May stole things from the second spot on the card, delivering a classic, story-driven match that created a new star and propelled the women's division forward.

Will Ospreay had his moment in front of his home nation by defeating MJF for the AEW International Championship, and we had the big return of Jamie Hayter on the pre-show and the debut of Ricochet in the Casino Gauntlet match.

Throw in strong in-ring content up and down the card, and it was a triumphant PPV for AEW at a time when the promotion has found itself under scrutiny.

How it builds on this momentum to turn right back around and deliver a quality All Out event on September 7 is the question Tony Khan and Co. will have to answer next.
