AEW All Out was live and loud from the sold-out NOW Arena in
Chicago, Illinois, on HBO Max PPV for another historic night
from a town and venue synonymous with All Elite Wrestling!
With seven championships up for grabs over nine matches,
only one title changed hands.

The main event saw AEW World Champion Will Ospreay retain
his title over AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley with
appearances by the Death Riders, United Empire and AEW
Women’s World Tag Team Champions The Brawling Birds. Until
tonight, Ospreay had never beaten Moxley, and he needed
everything he learned from Moxley and more to successfully
defend his AEW World Championship.

The AEW World Tag Team Titles belong to the Young Bucks for
a record-setting fourth time after pulling them down to win
the wild and chaotic ladder match over Cope and Cage and
FTR. We were treated to yet another spectacular AEW World
Trios Championship match with Swerve Strickland and The New
Level outlasting former champions ”Hangman” Adam Page and
Brodido in a match that saw a lot of personal feelings come
back to the surface between Strickland and Page in the very
building where they nearly ended each other’s careers two
years ago.

Thekla defeated Willow Nightingale to earn a shot at AEW
Women’s World Champion Mercedes Moné next month at AEW
WrestleDream, and Moné came out after the match to stare
down her next challenger. The Brawling Birds retained the
AEW Women’s World Tag Team Titles in a violent Chicago
Street Fight with Divine Dominion.

AEW National Champion Andrade El Ídolo turned away PAC in
the opening contest to notch his fifth successful defense.
“The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada provided “Psycho Killer”
Tommaso Ciampa with a match he’s wanted for a long time, but
it was Okada who kept the AEW International Title.

Here's everything that went down in Chicago!

AEW All Out Results

AEW Saturday Tailgate Brawl: "Jungle" Jack Perry def.
Katsuyori Shibata of The Opps

Our opening contest was another test for Perry, as he needed
to get through Shibata to get to Samoa Joe. Shibata tried to
keep Perry on the mat in the early going, although Perry
didn’t seem to mind before backing away to regroup. Perry
kicked free of a test of strength and rebounded off the
ropes with an arm drag to take Shibata down. Shibata chopped
Perry, so Perry answered, and Shibata asked for more. Perry
obliged, but Shibata returned fire and dropped Perry with a
nasty chop. Perry battled back until Shibata hung up on the
ropes and kicked him in the chest. Perry tried to get away,
so Shibata chopped him off the top turnbuckle to the floor!

Shibata stayed on Perry with chops around the outside and
brought him back into the ring to keep the assault on with
even more chops. Perry fired up and asked for more chops, so
Shibata fired off a flurry, and Perry fought it off with
uppercuts and chops in the corner. Perry ratcheted up the
aggression with facewashes using his boot and followed up
with a running knee to knock Shibata to the apron. Shibata
fought back with chops, so Perry returned fire until Shibata
dropped him with a single big shot. Shibata suplexed Perry
on the apron and rolled through to the floor for another,
but Perry turned it around for a suplex of his own on the
floor.

Perry returned Shibata to the ring and tried to feed off the
crowd as he went to the top rope. Shibata cut him off with a
chop and tried to set up a suplex, but Perry blocked it and
went for a sunset flip powerbomb. Shibata floated over for a
hurricanrana and attempted a PK, only for Perry to turn it
into the Snare Trap! Shibata was able to escape, but Perry
came back with a Tiger Driver for a near-fall! Shibata
stopped Perry’s running knee and went to town on him in the
corner with more chops. Shibata snapped Perry to the mat and
tried to go for a rear naked choke, so Perry floated over
Shibata to pin his shoulders to the mat for the three-count!

Perry remained in the ring and called for Samoa Joe.
Instead, he got HOOK, Anthony Bowens and ROH World TV
Champion Action Andretti of The Opps. They remained at the
top of the ramp, and SAMOA JOE RETURNED! Joe marched right
down to the ring and went face-to-face with Perry, who
offered a handshake, but Joe just turned around to walk
away. Perry swung Joe back around and slapped him to demand
Joe shake his hand. Joe went to reach his hand out and
instead lunged forward into Perry with a brutal headbutt!
Perry crumpled to the mat, and Joe stormed away with The
Opps, who were escorted by security back up the ramp.

AEW Saturday Tailgate Brawl: Artist of STARDOM Champions
Sisters of Sin (Skye Blue and Julia Hart) def. Queen Aminata
& Mina Shirakawa

Mina and Hart opened the match, and Hart quickly went to a
hair pull, so Mina responded with a roll-up and then
shimmied away from Hart on the mat. Chicago’s own Blue and
Aminata tagged in to resume hostilities from their match on
Wednesday night. They exchanged strikes, and Aminata got the
better of Blue with a shoulder tackle. Aminata gave Blue
Chocolate Kisses and a stiff kick to the chest before
tagging in Mina for a tornillo to get a near-fall. Hart
distracted Mina from the outside, and that allowed Blue to
turn things around with a DDT.

Hart and Blue kept Aminata away from Mina for any attempt at
a tag for an extended period while dominating her in their
corner. Finally, Mina made a tag and opened up on both Hart
and Blue. Mina took Hart down with a top-rope dropkick, but
Hart managed to kick out at two. Hart escaped Mina and
tagged Blue, who got ping-ponged by Mina and Aminata with
strikes and kicks. Aminata tagged back in and went up top
for a diving stomp to Blue while Mina had Blue in a figure
four leglock. Hart was waiting for Aminata with a thrust
kick that broke up the figure four.

Hart and Blue hit thrust kicks, and both locked on their own
versions of octopus holds. Aminata and Shirakawa both
escaped with slams to break the holds. Aminata blocked a
running knee strike with a headbutt and set up Hart for Off
With Her Head. Hart stopped Aminata with a lungblower, so
Mina dropped Hart with a rolling elbow. Blue cracked Mina
with a thrust kick, only to be caught by a swinging
neckbreaker from Aminata!

Aminata tagged Mina, who picked up Blue for a Glamorous
Driver, but Blue rolled through into a near-fall on Mina.
Mina dropped Blue with a spinning backfist and went to tag
Aminata, but Hart pulled her off the apron and sent her into
the barricade. Blue rolled Mina up and nearly got the win.
Blue hit Mina with Code Blue and got the pinfall victory for
Sisters of Sin!

AEW Saturday Tailgate Brawl: 8-Man Tag Team No
Disqualification Tailgate Brawl: Bang Bang Gang
("Switchblade" Jay White, Ace Austin, Austin Gunn and Colten
Gunn) def. Death Riders (Daniel Garcia and Wheeler Yuta) &
The Dogs (Clark Connors and David Finlay)

Before the match, Mick Foley was backstage with “Coach”
Juice Robinson and the Bang Bang Gang to get the lowdown on
how the team was doing. Robinson said they are focusing on
the fundamentals. Connors can’t stop the run, and Yuta has a
really weak pass rush. White started to describe Finlay, but
was cut off and went back to training. Foley asked about the
match having no rules, and Robinson said that works in Bang
Bang Gang’s favor. Tonight is about showing everybody that
Bang Bang Gang are the baddest golden gunslingers in town!

Foley said, hypothetically speaking, what if he wasn’t down
with that?

They all said, “GUNNS UP!”

The Dogs entered from the crowd with Connors carrying a keg!
Before the match, we got pre-recorded player introductions
from The Dogs and Death Riders. Garcia and Yuta came out
with full football pads and helmets. Garcia made sure to put
his helmet on before Marina Shafir slapped him. Arkady Aura
introduced the starting lineup for Bang Bang Gang, including
starting quarterback “Switchblade” Jay White from the
American football hotbed, Auckland, New Zealand! Apparently,
Juice Robinson is talking to someone in a coaches’ box above
the arena while on a headset? That view does provide a
better view of the all-8 for the offensive coordinator.

Bang Bang Gang isolated Finlay in the corner for repeated
attacks after getting signals from Coach Juice on the
outside. Austin Gunn snapped a football to White, who threw
it at Finlay. White DDTed Finlay for a near-fall! Everyone
spilled back to the outside, where Garcia snapped the ball
to Yuta, who handed off to Connors with Finlay as a lead
blocker to clear the way of the Bang Bang Gang!

Both sides took further advantage of the tailgate brawl by
using a grill and a cornhole set. The Dogs and Death Riders
completely took over in the ring, as Coach Juice encouraged
a “DE-FENSE!” chant from the crowd. White was demolished by
The Dogs and Death Riders in the corner while Shafir was
shouting orders from a megaphone. Ace came down the ramp and
ran through all four of his opponents with evasiveness and
offense before spiking the ball in the ring! Ace went back
over the top with a Fosbury Flop to take out Garcia and
Yuta.

Back in the ring, Austin tripped Connors and took him down
with a floatover neckbreaker. The Gunns worked Finlay into a
DDT and the crowd was on fire! White grabbed a football and
went up top before hitting a Heisman pose and a senton bomb
off the top to the floor! Austin brought the keg into the
ring, which earned a huge “KEG” chant from the Chicago
crowd. After taking turns bouncing around Finlay, Austin hit
him with a Fame-asser on the keg! 1-2-Shafir broke it up!
Coach Juice got in the ring and threw the red flag on
Shafir! Shafir took him down with a judo throw! They are out
of the coaches’ boxes! Finlay cracked Austin with a helmet!
He kicked out in time!

Connors went up for Full Clip on Austin, so Colten shoved
him off the top rope into the grill on the floor! Austin ran
Finlay into the corner, and Ace took out Finlay from across
the ring! Garcia dropped Ace, but Colten managed to send
Garcia into the ropes so the Gunns could hit 3:10 to Yuma!
The Gunns celebrated too long, and Yuta pushed them into
each other before rolling up Colten for a near-fall. White
snapped Yuta to the mat with a Blade Runner and pinned him
for the win!

It’s time for All Out!

AEW National Championship Match: Andrade El Ídolo (c) def.
Death Riders' "The Bastard" PAC

What a fantastic way this was to begin All Out with two of
the very best pro wrestlers in the world! Shafir was out
with PAC and remained at ringside, although that didn’t
deter the crowd from chanting, “He’s a bastard! How you
know?”

Andrade charged at PAC, who sidestepped him for a rebound
German Suplex. Andrade rolled through it and dropped PAC
with Día de Los Muertos! Andrade was slow to get an arm over
PAC, who managed to kick out to keep the match alive.
Andrade and PAC each reversed takeover attempts before
taking each other out with running big boots!

Both were slow to get up and the match reset with Andrade
offering a handshake. PAC considered it and pulled Andrade
into a boot in the gut. He sent Andrade to the corner and
followed with a running elbow. Andrade came back with a
crossbody from the top rope and covered PAC for a near-fall.
Andrade went into Three Amigos and hit the first two with
relative ease before pausing to point to the sky. On the
third attempt, PAC floated out of it, and Andrade dropped
him with an impactful dropkick. PAC took his time on the
outside, so Andrade tried to slingshot himself to the floor
with a crossbody, but PAC was waiting with a kick to the
chest. PAC returned to the ring and distracted the referee,
so Shafir mounted Andrade for strikes!

PAC brought Andrade back in the ring and choked him with his
knee. He grabbed the referee’s attention again, so Shafir
continued to go to work on Andrade. PAC came to the floor
and sent Andrade into the barricade. PAC broke the count and
sent Andrade into another barricade before gouging his eyes
and mouth. Andrade managed to battle back by reversing PAC
into the barricade. Shafir charged at Andrade, who sent her
into the front row!

Andrade threw PAC in the ring and brought him to the top
turnbuckle. Andrade elbowed PAC off the top rope, so Andrade
tried a moonsault and landed on his feet, but connected on
the second attempt for a two-count! Andrade called for
running knees to the corner, but paused to consider removing
his pants. He thought better of it and took off after PAC,
but PAC was ready with an overhead throw that sent Andrade
head over heels into the turnbuckles.

PAC hit a springboard cutter from the apron back into the
ring and covered Andrade, who popped his shoulder up in time
to keep his reign alive. The crowd tried to get Andrade back
into it, and he managed to win a strike exchange with PAC
before a flying forearm kept PAC down. Andrade leaped to his
feet and went back to his pants, so PAC jumped on him and
tried to set up a suplex. Andrade turned it into Three
Amigos! He clotheslined PAC over the top to the floor and
finally removed his pants, much to the delight of the crowd!

Andrade ran to the second rope and jumped off with a
tornillo to PAC on the floor. Andrade found an admirer in
the front row for a selfie, but Shafir popped up behind her
and choked her out! PAC nailed Andrade and went to the top
rope for a huge moonsault all the way to the floor! PAC
threw Andrade back in and went up top to hit a nasty 450
splash! Andrade kicked out at two! PAC hit a running pump
kick in the corner and returned to the top turnbuckle, but
Andrade kicked his legs out and crotched PAC on the buckle.
Andrade went up and put PAC on his back, but PAC adjusted
and took Andrade over with an avalanche hurricanrana!
Andrade’s momentum took him right into the corner and back
to his feet! He crushed PAC with another Día de Los Muertos!
PAC rolled to the floor so Andrade couldn’t go for the pin.

Andrade went to the outside and charged at PAC, but he threw
Andrade over his head into the barricade with a brutal
crash. PAC and Andrade beat the count to get back in the
ring, so PAC pulled Andrade to the corner and went to the
top. He tried a Black Arrow, but Andrade moved! Andrade
tried to hook PAC for The DM, so Shafir got on the apron to
distract Andrade. He turned his back to PAC, who stuck
Andrade with a poisonrana! PAC hit a momentum lariat and
locked in The Brutalizer, but he barely had a chance to pull
back on it when Andrade rolled over him and pinned PAC to
retain the AEW National Title!

Winner Gets a Future AEW World Tag Team Championship Shot:
Don Callis Family's "The Protostar" Kyle Fletcher & "The
Jet" Kevin Knight def. TNT Champion Darby Allin & Steven
Borden via Doctor’s Stoppage

Allin tried to start with Fletcher, who called for Borden,
and he tagged in to begin his first PPV match in his young
career. Fletcher couldn’t overpower Borden, and Borden
refused to back down as he threw punches at Fletcher with
reckless abandon. Knight tried to get involved, so Allin
came in, and they cleared the ring. Fletcher and Knight
regrouped on the floor before Fletcher got back in the ring
and ran into an arm drag from Borden. Fletcher moved Borden
to the corner and tagged Knight, but Borden escaped to avoid
the double-team.

Knight came at Borden and also succumbed to a deep arm drag.
Knight came back with a pair of shoulder tackles with no
impact, and Borden dropped him with a high dropkick. Allin
tagged in and sent Knight to the outside with a springboard
armdrag. Knight came back in and hit a right hand before
running to the floor. Allin chased after as Knight tagged
Fletcher. When Allin came back in, Fletcher took him down.
Allin avoided a back body drop and got distracted by Knight,
so Fletcher took out Allin’s legs for a nasty landing on the
mat.

On the outside, Knight sent Allin into the barricade. He
threw Allin towards the steel steps, so Allin jumped on them
to flip onto Fletcher. Fletcher caught Allin and powerbombed
him on the steel! That was gnarly! In the ring, Fletcher and
Knight double-teamed Allin, with Knight hitting a standing
UFO Splash for a two-count. Knight choked Allin with his
boots in the corner and threw him into Fletcher, but Allin
knocked Fletcher down briefly before going back to Knight.
Fletcher made a blind tag as Allin rolled up Knight, so
Fletcher picked Allin off the mat and lawn darted him into
the top turnbuckle! Fletcher admired his work, but stopped
to spit at Borden!

Fletcher took too long to stay on Allin, who hit a Scorpion
Death Drop out of nowhere to put both men down! Allin tried
to dive to the corner for a tag, so Fletcher caught him, and
Knight got in the ring. The referee went to stop Knight and
didn’t see Allin tag Borden, so he was stopped and sent back
to the corner while Fletcher dumped Allin over the top rope
to the floor with an ugly landing. Allin tried to dive back
in for a tag, but was cut off by Fletcher and Knight. He
broke free of them and tagged Borden! As he unloaded on
Knight and Fletcher, the crowd chanted, “STEVE” with each
connection!

Borden hit a beautiful dropkick on Fletcher and a jumping
bulldog on Knight. Borden charged at Fletcher for a Stinger
Splash in the corner, but Fletcher moved, and Borden flew
over the buckles into the ring post and to the floor!
Fletcher and Knight chucked Borden into the barricade, but
as Fletcher walked away, Allin knocked him into the
commentary desk with a torpedo dive. Knight ran up the desk
and clobbered Allin with a clothesline. Knight hung Allin in
the tree of woe and ascended the opposite corner for a
coast-to-coast dropkick. Borden got on the apron and got
Allin out of harm’s way. Instead, Borden went to the top
rope on the opposite side, and both men launched at each
other with a horrific collision in midair. Borden landed
very hard on the back of his head and was immediately
checked out by the referee and doctor. The doctor called for
a stoppage and the match was awarded to Fletcher and Knight.

TBS Championship Open Challenge: TBS Champion and CMLL World
Women's Champion Persephone (c) def. Dani Luna

Persephone came to the ring with Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., as
they awaited the challenger. The debuting Dani Luna, a
standout from the UK scene and former RevPro Women’s
Champion, answered the call, and this will be her first
meeting with Persephone. The two tried to overpower each
other, but Luna kept blocking Persephone’s offense. They
reset after another failed shoulder tackle, and Persephone
picked Luna’s ankle into a pinning predicament, but Luna
kicked out. Persephone used a traditional belly-to-belly for
another near-fall. The two traded another set of pin
attempts, and Persephone was incensed by Luna, who responded
with a massive forearm to drop and stun the champion.

Baker tried to calm Persephone down, but she ran right into
a bodyslam and ate lariats in the corner before a suplex.
Luna came off the ropes with a blindside lariat and got a
two-count. Persephone was slow to catch her breath, but
managed to reverse Luna out of the corner, although a monkey
flip attempt was blocked and Luna hit a big boot. With the
referee checking on Persephone, Baker knocked Luna off the
top rope all the way to the floor. Persephone recovered and
took out Luna with a tope suicida. Persephone threw Luna
back in and hit a sliding kick to the head for another near-
fall. Persephone choked Luna near the ropes and took the
referee’s attention away, so Baker could choke Luna over the
bottom rope.

Persephone hit strikes against the ropes, but Luna stopped
her offense and cracked the champion with a forearm.
Persephone came back with a bridging Northern Lights suplex
for a two-count, and the frustration was all over her face.
Persephone hit a dropkick and tried to pick up Luna for a
crucifix powerbomb, so Luna rolled it into a pin attempt
that got a two. Persephone blasted Luna with a forearm and
put her in the corner. Luna kicked away and hit a dropkick
to staggered Persephone. Luna was too beat up to take
advantage, so both women fought back to their feet and Luna
hit a leaping boot!

Luna tried to lift Persephone up, but she fought out of it.
Luna hit a rebound Blue Thunder Bomb for a near-fall, and
Persephone knew she was in trouble, so she rolled to the
apron. Baker went over for a pep talk, so Luna grabbed
Persephone off the apron. Persephone broke free and pulled
Luna to the apron for a German Suplex! Both women crashed to
the floor, although Persephone was able to get Luna back in
the ring. She covered, and Luna still kicked out at two,
which caused Persephone to yell at the referee in
frustration.

Persephone looked out at the crowd and got booed, so she
locked Luna in an impressive double wrist lock. Luna broke
free with an elbow strike, so Persephone answered, and they
continued to battle back to their feet. Persephone caught
Luna’s knee and rolled her through, but both women went back
down when they collided in the middle of the ring.
Persephone was up first and literally walked over Luna
before trying to springboard, but Luna stopped the champion
and pushed her over the top to the apron. Luna reached over
the ropes and brought Persephone back in with a deadlift
German Suplex! 1-2-Persephone kicked out! The Human Suplex
Machine, Taz said he’s never seen that before!

Luna dropped Persephone with a lariat and hit a fireman’s
carry sitout slam. She covered Persephone, but Baker pulled
Luna’s hair to break up the pin! Baker argued with the
referee, so she didn’t see Luna fly through the ropes with a
dive to take her out! Persephone followed out with a dive to
Luna! Persephone sent Luna back in the ring and went to
check on Baker, but when she went back to the apron, Luna
caught her with a running kick. Luna tried another deadlift
German Suplex, but Baker held Persephone’s leg to anchor
her. Persephone broke free and dropped Luna with a crucifix
powerbomb off the ropes to get the pinfall victory and
successful TBS Title defense! Persephone carried Baker out
over her shoulder and celebrated up the ramp!

AEW International Championship Match: "The Rainmaker"
Kazuchika Okada (c) def. "Psycho Killer" Tommaso Ciampa

Ciampa wanted “Psycho Killer” vs. “The Rainmaker," and so he
wore a familiar mask to the ring before embracing his wife
and daughter in the front row. Okada made his way out with
Don Callis, who then joined commentary. The crowd cheered at
the bell and chanted, “AEW!” They were ready for this one!

Okada gave Ciampa a clean break at the ropes, but when
Ciampa had the same opportunity, he mocked Okada by using
his familiar smack to the chest. Okada didn’t like that and
grabbed Ciampa in a headlock, which he held onto by pulling
Ciampa’s beard. Ciampa blocked a kick and grabbed a
headlock, which he held onto by pulling Okada’s hair to give
Okada the proper receipt.

Back on their feet, Okada and Ciampa exchanged big strikes
in the middle of the ring, with Okada dropping Ciampa to his
knees with a rising uppercut. Okada tried a pair of
Rainmakers, which Ciampa avoided and nearly took out Okada
with a bicycle knee. Okada bailed to the corner and went to
the floor to regroup. He slowly returned to the ring and
pounded away on Ciampa until Ciampa flew off the ropes with
a flying forearm. Okada went to the floor and tried to get
back in the ring, so Ciampa crushed him with a running knee
lift. Ciampa put Okada on the commentary desk and hit
another rising knee! He threw Okada back in the ring and
jawed with Callis on commentary for too long, only to walk
back into a flapjack from Okada.

Okada knocked Ciampa to the mat in the corner with vicious
elbows, so Ciampa tried to come back, and Okada cut that off
with a neckbreaker. Okada hit a jumping elbow in the corner
followed by a DDT for a two-count. Ciampa rolled to the
apron, so Okada tried to bring him back in with a suplex.
Ciampa broke free and broke Okada to the apron. He chopped
Okada twice and grabbed him in a fireman’s carry, but Okada
floated back in the ring and nailed a big boot. Okada
slammed Ciampa and went to the top rope for an elbow drop.
Ciampa went up to meet him, but Okada got back to the mat
and dropkicked Ciampa in the back right into the ring post!
Ciampa’s eye appeared to hit the post on the way down.

Okada put Ciampa on the barricade in front of his family and
dropped him with a draping DDT before smiling back at
Ciampa’s wife and daughter. Okada rolled Ciampa in the ring
and followed after him, so Ciampa rolled back out to the
floor. Okada went over to Ciampa’s daughter and offered a
high-five, but he flipped her off instead! She looked at her
mom, who nodded, and Ciampa’s daughter responded with a pair
of middle fingers! A double-bird for her birthday! Okada
backed away right into Ciampa, who threw Okada into the
barricade and pounded away before backing up for a running
knee! He picked up his daughter to celebrate before tossing
Okada back in the ring. Okada avoided the bicycle knee, and
Ciampa got away from a Rainmaker to hit a pair of German
Suplexes. Okada tried to elbow out of a third, but Ciampa
held on for the trifecta. Ciampa hit a Fairy Tale Ending!
Okada kicked out at two!

Ciampa worked Okada into the corner with facewashes and
backed up to rush at Okada, who caught Ciampa with a reverse
neckbreaker! Okada slammed Ciampa and went to the top for an
elbow drop that connected. Okada did the Rainmaker pose to
flip off the crowd and then Ciampa, who bit Okada’s middle
finger and got back up! Ciampa stomped on the finger and hit
Okada with a knee before connecting with a German Suplex.
Okada came right back with a shotgun dropkick to send Ciampa
to the corner. Ciampa rushed out and nearly ate a Rainmaker,
but countered out of it and hit Project Ciampa! 1-2-Okada
kicked out in time! Callis fanned himself feverishly while
the crowd roared in approval of the classic they were
watching.

Ciampa got Okada on the top turnbuckle with the intent of
hitting an Avalanche Psycho Driller, so Okada gouged his
eyes, and Ciampa fell to the mat. Callis left the desk to
distract the referee while Okada pulled a screwdriver out of
the turnbuckle pad. He leaped off the rope, but Ciampa
answered with a knee! Okada dropped the screwdriver! Ciampa
tried another bicycle knee, which Okada caught and
transitioned into a German Suplex before pulling Ciampa back
into a Rainmaker attempt, which Ciampa ducked. He stopped
Okada’s dropkick attempt and rolled him over into a short-
range knee lift. Ciampa backed up to the corner for a
bicycle kick, only for Okada to cut it off with a picture-
perfect dropkick! Ciampa fell into the corner, so Okada
pulled him out for a Rainmaker, which Ciampa escaped and
then ducked under a dropkick attempt. Ciampa came right at
Okada with a running knee and blasted him in the side of the
face. 1-2-Okada kicked out! Ciampa’s family remained worried
while the crowd loved everything they were seeing.

Ciampa picked Okada up for his own Rainmaker attempt, which
Okada avoided, but he didn’t avoid Ciampa’s follow-up elbow
strike. Yet again, Ciampa backed to the corner for a bicycle
knee and again Okada avoided him with a rollup, before
pulling Ciampa up into a Rainmaker! He kept wrist control
and tried another Rainmaker, which Ciampa ducked only to
walk right into a dropkick. Ciampa staggered but fired up
and ran right into Emerald Flosion! Okada grabbed him for
another Rainmaker and clobbered Ciampa to get the three-
count and a successful defense! Okada made a point to taunt
Ciampa’s family on his way out of the ring.

AEW Women's World Tag Team Championship Chicago Street
Fight: The Brawling Birds (Alex Windsor and Jamie Hayter)
(c) def. Divine Dominion ("Megasus" Megan Bayne and
"Colossal" Lena Kross)

Our third championship match of the night wasn’t expected to
resemble a match at all, which was apparent when Divine
Dominion attacked the Brawling Birds before they even got to
the ring. Hayter and Windsor were ready for it and took
Kross and Bayne down long enough to set up a table. That
gave Bayne and Kross a chance to recover, and they quickly
took over before bringing the match into the ring. They put
Windsor and Hayter teeth-first on the seats of folding
chairs, but before we could see what danger was next, the
Birds reversed things and sent the challengers into the
chairs. They suplexed Kross and then Bayne onto Kross with a
chair!

Bayne hit Windsor with a trash can lid from the outside.
Kross and Hayter battled on the apron over a table while
Bayne took out Windsor by throwing a chair at her head.
Kross tried to powerbomb Hayter off the apron through the
table, so Hayter held onto the ropes until Bayne booted her
off the apron to allow Kross to finish the devastating
powerbomb through the table! They turned their attention to
Windsor with Kross holding her arms over the ropes while
Bayne unloaded with kendo stick shots. Bayne and Kross tried
to sandwich Windsor’s head with chairs, but she moved, and
they collided. Hayter was on the top rope and took both down
with a crossbody! She wore out a chair on the backs of Kross
and Bayne before moving to kendo stick shots, which she
punctuated on Bayne with a White Russian Legsweep. She
tossed the kendo stick to Windsor, who did the same to Kross
with a boot-assisted White Russian Legsweep!

Bayne tried to attack with a barbed-wire-covered chair, so
Hayter kicked her in the gut and DDTed Bayne on the barbed-
wire chair, which also got Hayter in the process! Windsor
hit Kross with a trash can and put it over her head so
Hayter could come off the top with a jumping knee to Kross
in the can. A bloody Windsor covered Kross, who managed to
kick out. The Birds smashed Kross with chairs at the same
time and tried the cover, but Bayne dove in to make the
save. Bayne was pouring blood from her forehead! All four
women threw wild shots at each other before collapsing to
the mat.

All four women fought while sitting in chairs until they got
to their feet. Kross and Bayne threw chairs at the champions
and then picked them back up for swinging fireman’s carry
slams on chairs! A double cover got a double kickout at two!
Kross and Bayne missed a double boot in the corner when
Hayter got out of the way. She dropped Bayne with a German
Suplex, and Windsor came in looking for 2 Birds, 1 Stone.
Bayne avoided it and chucked both Windsor and Bayne over her
head with a mind-blowing double German Suplex! Bayne and
Kross brought a metal barricade in the ring and set it up in
the corner.

Hayter fought back and knocked Bayne out of the ring. Kross
grabbed the Birds for a double suplex into the barricade,
but they blocked it, and each hit Kross with a headbutt at
the same time. They turned Kross around and suplexed her
onto the unforgiving steel in the corner, which left Kross
folded in half. They picked her up for 2 Birds, 1 Stone, but
Bayne flew into the ring for a jumping clothesline on
Hayter! Kross grabbed Windsor for a German Suplex, which
Bayne helped with a flying boot! Windsor still kicked out in
time! Divine Dominion hit Windsor with Divine Intervention
onto a pair of chairs and that looked like the end. 1-2-
Hayter jumped in to break it up! The Birds live on!

Bayne and Kross produced a barbed-wire board and brought it
in the ring to prop up in the corner. Kross wedged a chair
in the corner on the opposite side and picked up Windsor as
Bayne picked up Hayter. The champions both slipped away, but
Windsor wound up going head-first into the chair when Kross
moved. However, on the other side, Hayter put Bayne through
the barbed wire board with a Death Valley Driver! Kross went
under the ring and brought in a black bag, which she poured
out in the middle of the ring to reveal thumbtacks!

Kross started to pick Windsor up, so she didn’t see Hayter
rush in with a chain wrapped around her arm that met Kross’
head! Windsor lifted Kross up, and Hayter hit 2 Birds, 1
Stone with the chain into the thumbtacks! Windsor covered
Kross to get the pinfall victory in the bloody Chicago
Street Fight!

AEW World Trios Championship Match: Swerve Strickland & The
New Level (Austin Creed and Kofi) (c) def. "Hangman" Adam
Page & Brodido (ROH World Champion Bandido and Brody King)

The former champions were out first for their chance to
regain the belts from the team that surprisingly took them
away last month at All In: London in the Trios Roulette
Royale. The crowd was strongly behind New Level at the bell,
with Bandido and Kofi starting things off in a great battle
of generational athleticism. They exchanged high-flying
offense, although it was way more of one-upping each other
with no clear advantage. Creed and King tagged in, but King
threw him to the mat twice. Creed went to his corner and got
hyped up, but King dropped him two more times before
throwing Creed to the floor. Creed came up the steps, but
got booted back down by Page. King put Creed on a chair next
to the barricade and squished him with a ginormous flying
crossbody!

King threw Creed back in and Page tagged in, but Creed ran
him into the champions’ corner, which knocked Swerve off the
apron. Page dropped Creed with a fallaway slam and a big
boot followed by a bodyslam. Bandido tagged in with a senton
atomico to Creed, but as he started to celebrate, Swerve
came flying around the corner to attack Page on the floor!
He threw Page into the timekeeper’s area, but Page came
right back out to trade wild shots with Swerve. The crowd
grew into a frenzy, knowing the history of these two, which
appeared to be set off by Page’s inadvertent shot to Swerve
in the corner. With teammates trying to calm them down,
Creed hit Bandido with a counter knee to the face. Swerve
tagged in and stomped Bandido until Creed had to pull him
away. Creed stomped away and hit Bandido with a delayed
vertical suplex for a two-count.

Kofi tagged in and New Level peppered Bandido with their
rebound, high-velocity double-team attacks. Swerve tagged
in, and all three hit repeated attacks until Kofi and Creed
held Bandido on their shoulders for Swerve, who came off the
ropes with a springboard kick. Bandido kicked out, but
Swerve got up and stared right at Page as he continued to
punish Bandido. He dropped a diving elbow onto Bandido’s
back from the second rope and taunted Page. Bandido got out
of a reverse chinlock until Swerve swung him into a
backbreaker. Bandido came back with a pair of defense
strikes in the corner and a tornillo off the top. When he
tried to make a tag, Swerve knocked King and Page off the
apron, but that just angered Page, who went right after
Swerve until the referee pulled him back. Swerve ran at
Bandido, who managed to block Swerve by standing straight up
and popping Swerve into a jaw-dropping cutter!

King and Creed tagged in, but King immediately cleared house
on New Level. King dumped Kofi on the apron with a Death
Valley Driver and smashed Creed in the corner with a lariat
before hitting another to drop him on the mat. Kofi ran into
a back body drop. King squashed Creed in the corner with a
cannonball and covered, but Swerve broke it up. He went to
the corner and reached for a tag while Page did the same,
which brought a buzz throughout the crowd! They tagged in at
the same time, and the arena exploded!

Both men met in the middle swinging wildly, but it was Page
who got the advantage and quickly went to the apron for a
Buckshot Lariat. Swerve saw it coming and avoided it to try
for a House Call, which Page stepped away from before
booting Swerve to the ropes. Page knocked Creed off the
apron and ran into a boot from Swerve. Page and Swerve
knocked each other to the mat and got right back up to
continue the fight! The crowd only egged them on as the
echoes of their last meeting in this building two years ago
left haunting memories that were being unearthed in front of
our eyes!

Creed pulled Page to the floor, which allowed Swerve to
clobber Page with a twisting dive over the top. King came
over to save Page from a triple-team. Just as quickly, King
held Creed off the apron over Bandido’s knees, and Page ran
down the apron with a shooting star press onto Creed, who
was crushed from all angles! Swerve kicked King in the chest
from the apron while Kofi double-stomped Page on the floor!
Swerve nailed Page with a House Call off the apron! All six
men were down all over the ringside area.

Prince Nana barked encouragement to Swerve, who lined up
Page for a House Call in the ring, but he took too much
time, and Page clobbered him with a clothesline. Page put
Swerve on the top buckle while Bandido did the same with
Kofi. First, Page brought Swerve down with a fallaway slam
moonsault, and Bandido did the same to Kofi! Creed came in
to make the save and save the gold!

Creed unloaded on King with chops until King took a wild
swipe, which Creed avoided and came back with a pair of
kicks. He dropped King with a shoulder tackle and lifted him
with squats while Bandido grabbed Kofi and Swerve on his
shoulders. King got down and put Creed on Swerve and Kofi.
Bandido and Bandido dropped all three at the same time with
a TRIPLE SAMOAN DROP! Bandido wasn’t done, as he went to the
top of the ring post and came down on all three champions
with a moonsault to the floor.

Back in the ring, Bandido looked for a 21 Plex on Creed, but
Kofi jumped in to block Bandido with a rear waist lock.
Bandido reversed it, and King grabbed Bandido, so Bandido
and King worked together to bring New Level over for a
double-double German Suplex! Page and Bandido launched Creed
into King for a piledriver, but he held on so they could hit
tandem superkicks. Page and Bandido hit stereo dives to Kofi
and Swerve while King spiked Creed with a piledriver! 1-2-
Creed kicked out!

King put Creed on the top buckle, but Creed managed to slip
underneath as Kofi hit a rising kick on King. Creed
powerbombed the stunned King out of the corner! Kofi hit
King with a Super Boom Drop, and Swerve followed with a 450
Splash. All three covered King, and he still managed to kick
out in time!

King got back to his knees and flipped off Swerve, who
called for a House Call, only for Page to step in front of
King. Swerve stopped, as the two rivals were locked onto
each other once again, so Page didn’t see Kofi’s roundhouse
kick! Bandido took Kofi and Swerve down with a flying
crossbody, but Creed got Bandido with a kick from the apron
and a springy DDT off the ropes. King immediately leveled
Creed with a lariat. Swerve hit King with a House Call, but
King stayed on his feet and turned Swerve inside out with a
lariat! Everyone is down again!

King had Swerve on his shoulder, so Kofi floated out and
pushed King into a Trouble in Paradise from Kofi that
knocked him out of the ring. Bandido nailed Swerve with a
kick to the gut and Page flipped over Swerve for a Buckshot
Lariat on Kofi! Swerve booted Bandido and turned into a pop-
up powerbomb from Page! Page went to the apron for another
Buckshot, but Creed took the bullet for Swerve, who
immediately nailed Page with a House Call! Bandido hit
Swerve with an X-Knee! Bandido tried a 21 Plex, but Swerve
landed on his feet! He pulled Bandido up and spiked him with
Big Pressure to get the pinfall win and a successful
defense! Swerve and The New Level remain undefeated!

Winner faces AEW Women's World Champion Mercedes Moné at AEW
WrestleDream: Artist of STARDOM Champion "The Toxic Spider"
Thekla def. Willow Nightingale

A quick start saw both contenders look for big offense
early, and Nightingale nearly ended it quickly with a
dangerous senton splash. Thekla quickly turned it around
with a pin attempt to get a near-fall, which set off a chain
reaction of pin attempts until Nightingale sent Thekla to
the ropes for a Pounce! She worked Thekla around the corners
and hit a series of clotheslines for a two-count. Thekla
missed a charge in the corner, so Willow went to the second
rope, only for Thekla to knock her all the way to the floor!
Thekla followed out to attack and mocked Willow to the
camera before throwing her into the barricade.

Thekla brought Willow back in the ring and pulled her over
the ropes with a tarantula to target her broken hand. Thekla
pulled at the hand and stomped on it before hitting a
running knee on the apron. Willow came back with
clotheslines in the corner and went for a cover, but Thekla
kicked out as Willow yelled in pain as she tried to shake
the hand. Willow put Thekla in a Texas Cloverleaf before
transitioning into a powerbomb! Willow went up top, so
Thekla rolled to the floor. Willow went to the apron and
clobbered Thekla with a cannonball. She threw Thekla back
in, but Thekla hit Willow with a boot and went to the top
rope. Thekla flew to the floor and nailed Thekla with a
crossbody.

Willow and Thekla got into an extended chop exchange until
they realized they had to beat the referee’s count and
rolled back in. They resumed striking until Willow hit a
Death Valley Driver for a near-fall. She put Thekla on the
top turnbuckle, but Thekla knocked Willow down and stomped
on her broken hand from the second rope! Thekla went into
her spider walk and speared Willow! 1-2-Willow bridged up
into her own spider pose! Thekla answered, and the two
mirrored each other! Another exchange saw Thekla knock
Willow into the ropes, only for Willow to rebound with a
desperation lariat!

Julia Hart and Skye Blue arrived at ringside, and while Hart
distracted the referee, Blue hit Willow from behind with her
Artist of Stardom Title! The referee turned his attention to
Blue, so Hart got in the ring and tried to hit Willow with
her belt, but missed and hit Thekla instead! Willow threw
Hart to the floor and knocked Blue off the apron before
trying to cover Thekla, who kicked out at two! Willow didn’t
have the grip strength to pick up Thekla for a Babe with the
Powerbomb, so Thekla stomped her in the hand and then again
on the back of the neck! Thekla covered and got the three-
count!

Hart and Blue joined Thekla in the ring to celebrate, but
they were interrupted by AEW Women’s World Champion Mercedes
Moné, who will now defend against Thekla on October 17 at
AEW WrestleDream!

AEW World Tag Team Championship 3-Way Ladder Match: Young
Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) def. AEW World Tag
Team Champions Christian Cage & Adam Copeland (c) and FTR
(Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler)

Knowing how unlikely this match was to ever happen, the
crowd chanted, “Holy shit” at the bell! All six men spilled
to the floor before Cope and Cage hit a double-team reverse
DDT on Matt. The champions got chairs and fired them at
Harwood, but the Bucks stopped them from doing any further
damage with superkicks and took them out of the ring. The
Bucks alternated strikes on FTR in the corners before Cage
attacked with a chair. Cage was bloodied over the eye just
minutes into the match after the superkick to the chair cut
him open! The Bucks fought back to kick chairs into Cage and
Cope. The Bucks tried to baseball slide a ladder into FTR,
but they lifted it up and smashed the Bucks over and over
until Cage and Cope hit their baseball slides into the
ladder and then immediately followed with crossbodies off
the top!

Nick kicked Cage from the apron and stopped Cope from
climbing the ladder. Cope threw Nick into the ladder and
then to the apron and tried to climb again. Nick hit a
springboard dropkick to knock Cope off the ladder. FTR came
back in to square off with the Bucks, and Harwood was
bleeding from the forehead. They fought around a ladder in
the middle of the ring until the Bucks both jumped on at the
same time to scamper to the top. All four men pulled each
other down at every attempt until Wheeler got free, only for
Matt to meet him at the top. Nick pulled Wheeler down, and
Matt jumped over Harwood’s chair swing before Harwood still
managed to pull him down.

Nick hit Harwood with a superkick, and the Bucks hit a
double-team senton bomb on Wheeler while he hung in the
ladder! The Bucks started to climb, but the champs tipped
the ladder to knock them into the ropes. FTR sent the
champions into the ladder and turned their attention to the
Bucks. They threw Nick into a ladder propped up in the
corner, so he changed direction and ran up the ropes to come
down on Cope on the floor! Matt took out FTR in the ring at
the same time!

Matt monkey flipped Cage onto a ladder, but Cope threw Nick
onto the same ladder to stop a double-team. Cope backdropped
Matt high into the air and down onto a ladder in the ropes.
Cope went to the floor and retrieved a significantly bigger
ladder than anything already introduced. Harwood and Cope
battled on a ladder, with Harwood taking Cope over with a
superplex through another ladder! Immediately after, Cage
and Wheeler came off the top with splashes at the same time!

The Bucks sandwiched Wheeler in the corner with kicks and
isolated him for quick strike offense that ended with a
double stomp and a backstabber to Cage, who was stuck in the
ladder across the ring. Wheeler and Matt both tried to
attack from the apron until Nick backdropped Wheeler from
the ring through a table on the floor! Nick put Harwood
through a table with a 450 from the top to the floor! Cope
bounced Matt’s head off a table with an Impaler DDT off the
apron!

Cage pulled Nick off the top rope with a Super Killswitch
onto a ladder! Cope unloaded on FTR with a chair shot as
Cage climbed the ladder, but Stoke came in to hit Cope with
a low blow! Cage came down the ladder, and Stokely threw
powder in his eyes! Stokely climbed the big ladder, but Cope
got up and pushed the ladder over, with Stokely falling from
the top of the ladder through a table on the ground. He
might need that wheelchair again!

FTR stopped Cope from going up the ladder and spiked him
with a piledriver on the apron! The Bucks lit up FTR with
superkicks and hit Harwood with a flipping piledriver from
the apron to the floor! The Bucks set up Harwood on a table
and Cope on another before each climbing a side of the
ladder for stereo splashes to smash them through the tables!
Cage stumbled to his feet under the same ladder, and Wheeler
flew through the ropes to propel Cage through another table!
Everyone was down amongst rubble covered in blood, bruises
and grimaces.

The Bucks climbed a ladder in the ring, but were quickly
stopped by the other teams and two more ladders. All six men
battled on three ladders until Cage and Harwood were the
last two. Cope speared Matt, and Nick knocked Cage off the
ladder. FTR hit Nick with a Shatter Machine off the ladder!
Cage and Cope clobbered Harwood with chairs and trapped him
under the ladder with his head exposed on the steps. That
left him wide open for a modified Con-Chair-To! Wheeler
tried to climb up the other side, so the champs swung at him
but missed. Cope fell and went awkwardly over the top rope.
Cage bounced his ladder off the rope to stop Wheeler from
climbing. Matt springboarded onto the ladder and dumped
Wheeler off with a dangerous flip to the mat.

The Bucks met Cage on the ladders and hit him with a BTE
Trigger to knock him to the mat! The Bucks grabbed the AEW
World Tag Team Titles to become the first-ever four-time
champions!

Wardlow’s Impending Return!

With a look at his path of destruction and dominance in AEW,

AEW World Championship Match: AEW World Champion Will
Ospreay (c) def. AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley

After Moxley made his customary entrance through the crowd
with the Death Riders, Ospreay’s entrance began with a
violinist and a look at the history that brought us to this
match. We were taken outside the arena where United Empire’s
“Speedball” Mike Bailey and Francesco Akira were holding a
Death Riders flag, so Ospreay could light it ablaze! They
marched back towards the entrance ramp, but Ospreay paused
and said, “Let’s f***ing end this!”


Perhaps because he knows Moxley so well, Ospreay actually
dismissed Moxley’s typical feeling-out process at the start
of the match, almost looking at the tactic like an insult.
Ospreay had no problem matching Moxley on the mat and
shutting down all of Moxley’s offensive attempts. Ospreay
sent Mox to the floor with a flying head scissors and
followed up with an impactful crossbody. He bounced Mox off
the commentary desk as the Death Riders backed away while
Ospreay continued to punish Moxley around the ring. They
returned inside, and Ospreay tried to bring Moxley to the
top rope, but Moxley fought and clawed his way free. He
grabbed Ospreay in a guillotine and seemed to make a switch
on the fly into a variation of a Death Rider on the top of
the turnbuckle!

Ospreay was a bloody mess on the floor, so when he stumbled
back to the apron, Moxley dropkicked him back to the floor.
Moxley came out to attack and sent Ospreay into the steel
steps before grounding Ospreay’s head into the corner of the
steps. While Ospreay tried to recover on the floor, Moxley
taunted the crowd by licking Ospreay’s blood off his
forearm. Moxley clubbed Ospreay and dropped him with a
neckbreaker for a near-fall. Moxley snapped and manipulated
Ospreay’s fingers until Ospreay started to strike back.
Moxley worked Ospreay back to the mat and locked in a body
and arm scissor submission. Moxley pulled Ospreay up and
spiked him with a piledriver. Ospreay kicked out at two.

Moxley stalked Ospreay and peppered him with shots before
trying another piledriver. Ospreay got out of it and chopped
Moxley until Moxley took him back down to the mat with an
STF. Ospreay managed to get back to his feet and rolled over
Moxley for a straitjacket of his own. He let it go to hit a
spinning corkscrew kick off the ropes. Ospreay came back
with a springboard forearm to get another two-count. Ospreay
chopped Mox while keeping wrist control and hit a twisting
moon press for another near-fall, with Moxley making a point
to say that’s not enough to get the job done. Moxley kept
taunting Ospreay and lured him into a strike exchange before
trying to grab him in another submission. Ospreay countered
into a Styles Clash position, but Moxley grabbed Ospreay’s
ankle and tried to roll into his own version of Death
Ground. Ospreay got back to his feet, so Moxley brought him
back down with a choke. Ospreay backed Mox into the corner
to break it up and followed with a thrust kick. Mox blocked
an OsCutter and dumped Ospreay on his head with a cutthroat
suplex! Moxley picked up Ospreay and nailed a Gotch-Style
Piledriver! Ospreay kicked out to stay alive, but his neck
was clearly bothering him.

Ospreay fought off a Death Rider attempt, so Moxley hauled
off and dropped Ospreay into the corner with a big forearm.
Ospreay tried to fight back with little effect as Moxley
begged him to do more. Moxley threw a huge lariat and went
to stomp Ospreay in the neck, but Ospreay blocked it by
bracing himself and pushing back to a vertical base!

That neck is strong!

Moxley didn’t seem to expect that, and Ospreay started to
fire up. Ospreay hauled off on Mox and hit a rolling elbow
strike followed by a kneel-out powerbomb before pulling him
up for a Styles Clash! Moxley kicked out at two! Ospreay hit
an OsCutter! Mox kicked out again! Ospreay measured for a
Hidden Blade, but Shafir grabbed his leg from the floor, and
the referee admonished her. Yuta tried to get in on the
other side but was pulled down by Bailey, who stood side by
side with Akira to stop Garcia and Yuta.

Back in the ring, Ospreay floated out of another overhead
suplex attempt and kicked Mox in the head. He ran at Moxley
for a big boot, but Moxley moved, and Ospreay nailed referee
Paul Turner! Turner was out on the floor, so Garcia and Yuta
attacked Bailey and Akira. In the ring, Ospreay took out
Moxley with a Hidden Blade! He covered, but there was no
referee! Yuta came in to attack Ospreay, only to eat a
cutter from Akira! Akira tried to fight off Yuta and Garcia,
but they threw him to the floor. Speedball took out Garcia
and Yuta and landed a springboard moonsault to the floor!
Shafir went to hit Bailey, so he blocked it and pushed her
down. PAC hit Bailey with a briefcase! He brought it in the
ring, and it’s the same briefcase that housed the AEW World
Title during Moxley’s last reign. Andrade pulled PAC out of
the ring and dropped him with Dia de Los Muertos. Andrade
gestured at Ospreay and flashed the United Empire sign.

Andrade threw PAC over the barricade, as Ospreay turned into
a Paradigm Shift from Moxley! Ospreay bounced right back
with a Hidden Blade! Ospreay fired himself up and ran at
Moxley for another Hidden Blade, but Shafir laid him out
with the briefcase! She threw the referee back into the
ring, and Moxley covered Ospreay, but he kicked out at two!
Shafir got back in the ring and nailed the referee to send
him from the ring once again. AEW Women’s World Tag Team
Champion and Ospreay’s wife, Alex Windsor, hit the ring and
attacked Shafir! Windsor, who was still bandaged from her
earlier Chicago Street Fight, grabbed Shafir and Jamie
Hayter flew in to complete 2 Birds 1 Stone on Shafir! The
Brawling Birds held up the United Empire sign! Wheeler Yuta
tried to attack from behind, so they took him out and sent
him to the floor. Hayter jumped off the top and took out
Yuta and Garcia. The Brawling Birds fought Shafir up the
ramp.

Ospreay went to grab the briefcase in the ring, but Mox
stomped his head right into it! Moxley grabbed the briefcase
and yelled at Ospreay, but he seemed conflicted before
finally blasting Ospreay in the head. A new referee came
out! 1-2-Ospreay kicked out! Moxley hit a Paradigm Shift!
Another Paradigm Shift! A Death Rider! 1-2-OSPREAY KICKED
OUT! Moxley locked in a bulldog choke, and the referee
checked Ospreay’s arm, but he kept it up and bit Moxley to
break out of the submission! Ospreay hit a Hidden Blade! He
picked up Moxley and nailed a Storm Breaker! Moxley kicks
out at two! Ospreay pulled off his elbow pad as Moxley
looked around, unaware of what was about to happen to him
until he laughed and accepted his fate with a willing nod
from his knees. Moxley turned to face Ospreay, who was
already in motion with a Hidden Blade that put Moxley down
for good! Ospreay covered for the win! Ospreay retains the
AEW World Title and has finally beaten Moxley! What a main
event!

Ospreay began to celebrate and got on the ropes, but Moxley
ripped it away from him and put it over his shoulder. They
slapped hands and Moxley left the ring. Ospreay continued to
celebrate as All Out came to a close!
