Zero Hour 8-Man Tag Team Match: Sons of Texas (Dustin
Rhodes, Ross Von Erich, Marshall Von Erich & Sammy Guevara)
def. Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, Lee Moriarty,
Carlie Bravo & Capt. Shawn Dean)
AEW All In: Texas kicked off the two-hour Zero Hour preshow
with a thunderous home-state welcome as the Sons of Texas—
Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara, and the Von Erich brothers—
teamed up to take on the imposing unit of Shane Taylor
Promotions. Backed by the legendary Kevin Von Erich, the
crowd at Globe Life Field erupted as Texas' favorite sons
made their entrance.
The match began with Sammy Guevara and Lee Moriarty engaging
in a fast-paced exchange, with Guevara hitting a crisp
corkscrew dropkick and kipping up to a loud ovation. Tags
cycled quickly to Marshall Von Erich, who slammed Moriarty,
but Lee slipped away and brought in Carlie Bravo. Marshall
and Ross responded with classic tag team fundamentals, but
STP soon overwhelmed Ross with stomps and tandem offense in
the corner.
Momentum shifted again as Capt. Shawn Dean hit a huge tope
con giro to the outside, followed by Shane Taylor barreling
through his opponents with shoulder tackles and a massive
corner splash on Marshall. Taylor briefly took control,
flattening all four Sons of Texas with sheer power.
At ringside, tensions escalated when Anthony Ogogo got in
Kevin Von Erich’s face. But Ogogo quickly backed down when
Wyatt and Wayne Rhodes, grandsons of Dusty and students of
Dustin Rhodes, emerged from the crowd to stand alongside the
Hall of Famer.
Back in the ring, Dustin Rhodes tagged in and ignited the
crowd with a string of signature offense—hitting a classic
snap powerslam, a Cross Rhodes on Bravo, and unleashing
vintage fire across the ring. All eight men spilled into the
ring as chaos took over, culminating in a nostalgic and
symbolic moment: all four Sons of Texas applying
simultaneous Iron Claws to members of STP.
Ogogo attempted to intervene again, but this time Kevin Von
Erich entered the ring and clamped on his own Iron Claw to
the mouthy Brit, sending the fans into a frenzy.
With the ring cleared, Dustin Rhodes executed an Iron Claw
press on Carlie Bravo and held him down for the three-count.
Zero Hour 8-Man Tag Team Match: Big Boom AJ & the
Conglomeration (Hologram, Kyle O’Reilly & Tomohiro Ishii)
def. Don Callis Family (Hechicero, Lance Archer, Rocky
Romero & Trent Beretta)
In a fast-paced and fascinatingly personal clash on AEW All
In: Texas: Zero Hour, the unlikely alliance of Big Boom AJ,
Hologram, Kyle O’Reilly, and Tomohiro Ishii defeated the Don
Callis Family’s Hechicero, Lance Archer, Rocky Romero, and
Trent Beretta.
The match opened with simultaneous brawls erupting around
the ring. Hologram and Romero paired off early, with the
masked phenom hitting a stunning standing moonsault and
dropkicks that sent Rocky reeling. A tag to O'Reilly led to
a flash of teamwork, including a Demolition-style elbow
drop.
Hechicero and Hologram dazzled with their lucha mat
exchanges. A drop toehold into a sunset flip led to a series
of reversals and near-falls, culminating in a crisp victory
roll from Hologram that nearly ended it. Later, Hologram
landed a beautiful Spanish Fly on Romero, only to be cut off
by Hechicero’s running dropkick.
As the action spilled to the outside, Tomohiro Ishii and
Lance Archer collided in a battle of bulls. Archer gained
the upper hand momentarily with a front suplex slam and a
huge elbow strike, but Ishii rallied back with a thunderous
vertical suplex to drop the Murderhawk Monster in the center
of the ring.
From there, Big Boom AJ reentered the fray, hitting a
spinebuster on Trent Beretta and a press slam that sent
Romero sailing to the outside—and directly into Archer. AJ
looked to finish the job with his signature Power Boom, but
interference from Hechicero and a rising knee strike briefly
halted his momentum.
Hologram responded with a flying Frankensteiner on Archer
and a senton atomico to the floor that wiped out both Archer
and Hechicero. The crowd roared as Big Boom AJ regained
control, delivering a fierce lariat to Beretta. Big Justice
then stormed the ring to help his father and leveled Beretta
with a surprise spear, setting the stage for the finish.
As the referee turned back around, AJ hoisted up Rocky
Romero and dropped him with the Power Boom—a thunderous
sitout powerbomb—to seal the victory for the Conglomeration.
Zero Hour Tag Team Match: FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood)
def. The Outrunners (Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd)
The Zero Hour crowd at Globe Life Field roared to life as
FTR and The Outrunners collided in a fast-paced, fiercely
competitive tag team clash. While FTR ultimately walked away
with the win, Turbo Floyd and Truth Magnum pushed the former
AEW World Tag Team Champions to their limit—and may have
even had the match won if not for outside interference.
The match kicked off with Truth Magnum and Dax Harwood
trading holds in a traditional grappling exchange, until
Magnum rocked Harwood with a sharp right hand. The
Outrunners stayed hot, isolating Cash Wheeler and keeping
the ring cut in half with quick tags and tandem offense.
Turbo landed a big back suplex, but Wheeler managed to roll
too close to the ropes, breaking the count.
Harwood exploited an opportunity on the outside by targeting
Floyd’s knee, slamming it into the barricade and clipping it
on the ring apron. Back inside, Dax locked on a figure-four
leglock, wrenching the hold as referee Paul Turner monitored
closely. “He’s got it cinched in tight,” Excalibur noted, as
Floyd writhed in pain.
The Outrunners fought back valiantly. Turbo eventually made
the hot tag, delivering scoop slam after scoop slam and a
pair of charging lariats in the corners. A huge double
clothesline leveled both FTR members. The crowd roared when
the Outrunners connected with Total Recall, their signature
tag finisher, but as Turbo covered Harwood for the three-
count, Stokely pulled Floyd off the pin to break it up.
That moment changed everything.
Floyd confronted Big Stoke, but the distraction gave Dax
just enough time to recover. As Floyd turned back around,
Harwood snuck in with a schoolboy roll-up, putting his feet
on the ropes for leverage with both Cash and Stoke holding
on to make sure FTR scored the win.
AEW World Trios Championship Match: The Opps (Samoa Joe,
Powerhouse Hobbs & Katsuyori Shibata) def. Death Riders
(Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta) and Gabe Kidd
The main card of AEW All In: Texas erupted next as The Opps
and the Death Riders’ contingent of Claudio Castagnoli,
Wheeler Yuta, and mercenary Gabe Kidd collided in a
physical, high-impact war for the AEW World Trios Titles.
The action broke down immediately, with all six men pairing
off into brawls—Shibata and Kidd reigniting their deeply
personal feud from New Japan’s LA Dojo, while Samoa Joe and
Wheeler Yuta clashed once again after their match on
Dynamite just days earlier. Hobbs and Castagnoli, meanwhile,
exchanged heavy shots at ringside as the broadcast struggled
to keep up with the carnage unfolding across the arena.
Shibata and Kidd traded vicious strikes in the center of the
ring, including a brutal elbow that dropped Kidd to a knee,
only for the War Dog to answer back with a thudding palm
strike of his own. After a hard reset, Samoa Joe and Wheeler
Yuta became the legal men, where Joe immediately overwhelmed
the smaller man with jabs, a massive right hook, and a whip
into the ropes that ended in a brutal back elbow and his
signature enzuigiri.
Powerhouse Hobbs tagged in and put his strength on display
with a delayed vertical suplex that left Yuta disoriented.
Katsuyori Shibata followed up with a snapmare and precise
Penalty Kick for a near fall before tagging Joe back in. The
Death Riders fired back with quick tags and timely
interference—Claudio even used a giant swing into the
barricade on Hobbs to try to turn the tide.
Gabe Kidd, who spent much of the match taunting and
brutalizing Joe with stomps and right hands on the floor,
nearly put Shibata away with a sheer drop brainbuster, but
the veteran kicked out at one to a roar from the Texas
crowd.
Late in the bout, Hobbs blasted Claudio off the apron just
in time, sending him crashing into the barricade. That left
Yuta alone in the ring with all three champions.
After a snapmare from Joe and a precise PK from Shibata,
Samoa Joe hoisted Wheeler Yuta up and drove him down with a
devastating Muscle Buster to secure the win and retain the
AEW World Trios Championship.
But the post-match scene turned even more violent.
Frustrated by the loss, Claudio Castagnoli and Gabe Kidd
launched a brutal assault on the champions. Shibata was
dropped with a piledriver, Hobbs was laid out with a flurry
of chairshots, and Claudio wrapped a steel chair around
Samoa Joe’s neck before hitting a horrifying running stomp
that incapacitated the AEW legend.
Men’s Casino Gauntlet: MJF Steals a Win
The stakes were sky-high in the Men’s Casino Gauntlet Match,
where 14 AEW stars battled for a guaranteed AEW World
Championship shot—and it was Maxwell Jacob Friedman who
emerged as the opportunistic victor, stealing the win in the
final moments after entering the match at No. 2 and
surviving a grueling encounter.
Mark Briscoe and MJF started the match, rekindling the fire
from MJF’s personal attacks in the lead-up to All In. MJF
immediately tried to score a fast win with roll-ups and
cradles, but Briscoe wasn't having it—mounting a furious
comeback that saw him pummel Max with chops and a big back
body drop. As the countdown ticked, new entrants arrived at
regular intervals.
Ricochet entered third and quickly aligned with MJF, double-
teaming Briscoe until Bandido joined next and turned the
tide with a flurry of offense. Bandido back-body dropped
everyone to the floor and followed up with a cannonball onto
Friedman. The ring filled rapidly from there: Konosuke
Takeshita, Mistico, and Josh Alexander all joined the fray,
with Takeshita and Ricochet lighting the crowd up with
sequences that included a Blue Thunder Bomb and triangle
moonsaults, while Mistico soared through the air with a top-
rope plancha and locked MJF in La Mistica.
Anthony Bowens, Roderick Strong, and Brody King entered in
succession. King bulldozed his way through the field with
cannonballs in every corner, while Bowens impressed with a
swing-out facebuster on Ricochet. Strong showcased his
signature punishing backbreakers, including a front kick-
assisted backbreaker and the End of Heartache on Ibushi
later in the match.
Surprises continued as a clean-shaven, returning Juice
Robinson entered at No. 11 and brought the fight to Ricochet
—only to be blindsided by Gates of Agony, who assisted
Ricochet until The Gunns ran in to neutralize the
interference, leading to a huge 3:10 to Yuma. Ricochet
nearly got the win with a shooting star press, but MJF broke
the pin at the last second.
When Kota Ibushi entered at No. 12, the Golden Star exploded
into action with precise round kicks, a gamengiri on Brody
King, and a standing moonsault on Bowens for a near fall.
Beast Mortos followed at No. 13, bringing devastating power
with a Tombstone Codebreaker on Bowens and a pop-up Samoan
Drop on Juice Robinson.
The final entrant, Max Caster, barely made it to the ring
before being tripped up by Bowens and blasted by Roderick
Strong. Briscoe returned with renewed fire, and in a pivotal
moment, landed the Jay Driller on Strong—only for MJF to
strike from behind, tossing Briscoe from the ring and
stealing the pin with a simple lateral press.
Adam Cole’s Heartfelt Message
Adam Cole made a difficult walk to the ring at AEW All In:
Texas, where he officially vacated the TNT Championship due
to health concerns, as had been announced in the hours
before All In.
“This is really hard to put into words,” Cole began, visibly
shaken. “But I wanted to come out here and talk to you all.
I’m very sorry that I let everybody down and I can’t wrestle
tonight.” He explained that medical issues had rendered him
unable to compete—and possibly sidelined him for far longer
than anyone expected.
“I have some health issues going on at the moment that not
only will not allow me to defend this championship tonight,
but I am gonna be gone for a while,” he said solemnly. “I
don’t even want to think about talking about retiring,
because I am not in the right head space.”
Cole choked back emotion as he addressed the fans directly,
should this be the last time they see him in an AEW ring.
“You are the best damn wrestling fans in the world,” he said
to a thunderous ovation.
“Since I was nine years old, I’ve always dreamed of being a
professional wrestler. It’s all I’ve ever, ever wanted to do
—and all of you made that dream come true for me,” Cole
continued. “With my highest moments and recently my lowest
moments, all of you have been so supportive every step of
the way. And damn it, I will love you forever.”
Cole concluded with gratitude not just for the night, but
for the journey. “Thank you for making AEW what it is. Thank
you for making AEW so special. And thank you all so damn
much for changing my life. I love you always.”
As the crowd stood in respectful silence and support, Cole
exited the ring—embracing his Paragon stablemates on the
stage and sharing a heartfelt moment with Daniel Garcia, the
man he defeated to win the title at AEW Dynasty. In that
moment, championship gold took a backseat to the bond
between wrestler and fan.
TNT Championship 4-Way Match: Dustin Rhodes def. Daniel
Garcia, Kyle Fletcher & Sammy Guevara
In a match born out of heartbreak but filled with
resilience, Dustin Rhodes captured the TNT Championship for
the first time in his legendary career, overcoming three
top-tier challengers—Daniel Garcia, Kyle Fletcher, and Sammy
Guevara—in a thrilling, emotional four-way battle at AEW All
In: Texas.
From the opening bell, the pace was relentless. Sons of
Texas worked together briefly, landing a double suplex on
Fletcher and a sliding knee from Dustin before Kyle spilled
to the floor following a standing moonsault from Guevara.
Garcia and Guevara tangled next, trading quick pin attempts
before double dropkicking Fletcher on his return. The
temporary teamwork dissolved when Fletcher flattened both
men with a vicious double lariat.
On the floor, Guevara hit a jaw-dropping Spanish Fly off the
apron, taking both himself and Garcia out. Fletcher re-
entered and hit Dustin with a Michinoku Driver, but Rhodes
kicked out at one. Fletcher then locked in a figure-four
leglock, only for Garcia to mirror the hold on Guevara
inside the ring. The painful symmetry broke down into traded
slaps and reversed pressure before both men released.
Garcia then pulled Guevara up the ropes for a superplex, but
Dustin intercepted and delivered a massive flip piledriver
to Fletcher, followed by a full-impact Cross Rhodes. The
pinfall was heartbreakingly close, but Fletcher kicked out
at the last possible moment.
The crowd erupted as Dustin set Kyle up in the ropes for
Shattered Dreams, but Garcia intervened. In a surprising
moment of chaos, Garcia and Guevara each took turns punting
Fletcher low while he was still tied up—only for Dustin to
finish the humiliation with a thunderous Shattered Dreams
kick of his own.
As the match broke down, Guevara connected with the GTH on
Garcia, but Rhodes broke up the cover. Tensions flared
between mentor and protégé, and after a hard exchange of
words, they clashed in the center of the ring. Guevara
delivered Three Amigos, but his attempted frog splash met
Garcia’s knees. Garcia transitioned seamlessly into the
Dragon Tamer, wrenching back in the middle of the ring—until
Fletcher yanked him out and delivered back-to-back apron
powerbombs on Garcia and Guevara.
Moments later, Guevara countered a brainbuster attempt with
a stunning diving ace crusher, only to eat a piledriver from
Garcia. Dustin tried to steal the win with a crucifix pin,
but Garcia escaped.
After another Dragon Tamer on Rhodes, with everyone else
incapacitated, it looked like the match was over—but in a
burst of veteran instinct, Dustin Rhodes reversed the hold
into a small package and scored the three-count, becoming
the new TNT Champion. After the match, Guevara seemed to
hesitate for just a moment before shaking his partner and
mentor’s hand and embracing him.
Swerve Strickland & Will Ospreay def. The Young Bucks With
EVP Titles on the Line
In one of the most emotionally charged and consequential
matches in AEW history, Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay
defeated Matthew and Nicholas Jackson, stripping the Young
Bucks of their Executive Vice Presidencies in AEW.
With the stakes clearly defined—EVP status on the line for
the Bucks, and a yearlong AEW World Title ban looming over
Strickland and Ospreay—the two teams delivered a match for
the ages.
Early exchanges saw each side trying to gain control.
Ospreay and Strickland hit tandem offense like a Poetry in
Motion corkscrew moonsault, while the Bucks responded with
veteran precision, isolating Ospreay and unloading a
superkick party that left the “Aerial Assassin” reeling.
The Bucks controlled the mid-match tempo, targeting Ospreay
with a Tombstone setup outside the ring and a vicious
Penalty Kick off the apron to Strickland. But Swerve
eventually turned the tide with a diving corkscrew uppercut
and a brutal powerslam counter to a Frankensteiner. The
challengers then connected with stereo corkscrew moonsaults
but couldn’t get the three.
Momentum shifted again with rapid-fire sequences, including
a wheelbarrow facebuster, a dropsault into an enzuigiri, and
a mid-ring explosion of kicks on kicks on kicks. The crowd
erupted when Swerve and Ospreay executed stereo Styles
Clashes, nearly ending it.
They followed with a breathtaking combo—Swerve Stomp-
assisted Storm Breaker—only for Nicholas to break the pin.
Outside the ring, Prince Nana was laid out with a superkick,
and inside the brouhaha continued. Matthew Jackson drilled
Ospreay with a low blow, leading to More Bang For Your
Buck... but still only two!
The Bucks hit EVP Trigger after EVP Trigger, and still
Ospreay wouldn’t stay down. At one point, Ospreay
accidentally clocked Strickland with a Hidden Blade, leaving
the match hanging in the balance. Matthew followed with a
devastating TK Driver, but Ospreay kicked out again, defying
logic and gravity.
Strickland reemerged, shielding Ospreay from a final
Superkick Party by absorbing the blows himself. As the crowd
roared, Strickland rose to his feet, teeth clenched, taking
superkick after superkick before catching the EVP Trigger,
countering with a backslide into a Tombstone setup.
Ospreay ascended and crushed Matthew Jackson with a Swerve
Stomp-assisted Tombstone, but still—Matthew survived.
In the final moments, Ospreay removed his elbow pad,
Strickland lined up the target, and the duo struck with a
brutal House Call / Hidden Blade combo. The cover was
academic, and the Young Bucks were EVPs no more.
Women’s Casino Gauntlet: The Forever Champ Earns Her
Opportunity
Twelve elite athletes entered AEW All In: Texas with one
goal: to earn a future shot at the AEW Women’s World
Championship. But when the dust settled inside Globe Life
Field, it was Athena, the longest-reigning Ring of Honor
Women’s World Champion, who emerged victorious—adding yet
another milestone to her already dominant résumé.
The match began with Kris Statlander and Megan Bayne, two of
AEW’s strongest competitors, locking horns in a grueling
test of strength. After trading elbows and blocked suplexes,
Bayne landed a Falcon Arrow, only for Statlander to respond
with a risky moonsault off the apron—an opening salvo that
set the tone for what was to come.
Willow Nightingale entered third, immediately sparking
hostilities with her former friend Statlander. A low
crossbody and spinebuster nearly ended things early, but
Bayne roared back in with a leaping lariat and teamed with
Kris to land a double chokeslam on Nightingale.
Tay Melo entered next and delivered pump kicks to anyone
standing, followed by a spinning bulldog on Statlander. Melo
even trapped Bayne in a painful Rings of Saturn, but
interference from ringside—courtesy of Penelope Ford, Anna
Jay, and a returning Harley Cameron—fractured the ring into
madness and cleared the way for new entrants.
Thekla stormed in with a flurry of offense, hitting a diving
crossbody and engaging in striking battles with Tay and
Willow. Nightingale nearly ended it with a Doctor Bomb on
Thekla, but Statlander broke it up. Then, a devastating
Doomsday Device from Bayne and Kris flattened Willow just
before the next countdown hit.
Julia Hart was the sixth entrant and instantly made an
impact with a diving moonsault, followed by a walk-the-ropes
Old School lariat and a gorgeous octopus hold. But Tay broke
it up with a Gotch-style piledriver, and the chaos only
intensified as Julia and her ally Skye Blue traded sneaky
assists.
Queen Aminata entered next, bringing pure intensity with a
stiff Queen’s Crown headbutt, a fisherman’s neckbreaker, and
her brutal Off With Her Head elbow. Nightingale broke up the
pin with a surprise senton, setting up stereo Spider
Superplexes from Julia and Thekla.
Momentum shifted again as Mina Shirakawa hit the ring,
wiping out Skye Blue with a rolling solebutt and locking in
a creative double submission: a victory roll deathlock on
Statlander and a dragon screw leg whip on Skye. She wasn’t
done yet—moments later, Mina spiked Bayne with a DDT and put
Stat in a figure four leglock.
The ninth entrant was none other than Athena, and she wasted
no time cleaning house with suplexes, big elbows, and a
Tombstone piledriver on Queen Aminata. As the countdown
resumed, Thunder Rosa charged in at No. 10, reigniting her
heated rivalry with Athena. Rosa connected with a side
Russian legsweep into a Cobra Clutch, but it was broken up
before she could secure the win.
Syuri, making her AEW debut, was the eleventh entrant and
stunned the field with clinical striking and flawless
footwork, lighting up Mina Shirakawa with rolling solebutts,
snapmares, and a wicked roundhouse kick to the spine.
Finally, Alex Windsor entered at No. 12, going straight
after Syuri with a spiking DDT, back suplex, and a
thunderous Blue Thunder Driver. Windsor and Syuri went
strike-for-strike in the match’s hardest-hitting exchange,
culminating in Syuri’s rising knee that had everyone
believing it was over—until the pinfall was broken up by
every woman in the ring.
Bodies piled up outside after Bayne Gourdbustered Statlander
on the apron, and Willow responded with an apron Death
Valley Driver on Athena. Megan Bayne then attempted to scale
the top rope—but Statlander met her with an avalanche
powerbomb off the apron, taking out the entire field in a
car-crash of bodies.
In the final moments, Rosa and Mina battled inside the ring.
Shirakawa connected with a diving sling blade and a
devastating buzzsaw roundhouse kick, then applied a figure
four leglock in the center of the ring—only for Athena to
return with the O-Face out of nowhere, dropping Shirakawa
flush and securing the pinfall.
AEW World Tag Team Championship 3-Way Match: The Hurt
Syndicate (Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin) def. JetSpeed
(Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey) and The Patriarchy
(Christian Cage & Nick Wayne)
The AEW World Tag Team Championship was on the line in a
Triple Threat match at AEW All In: Texas, and it was The
Hurt Syndicate—Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin—who
emerged victorious, retaining their gold and asserting
dominance in an incredible match.
From the outset, it was clear the reigning champions were in
no mood to play defense. Lashley and Benjamin immediately
went on the offensive, punishing all four challengers with
stiff strikes and power moves, including a nasty spinebuster
on Nick Wayne and an apron-launch face-first whip into the
steel steps on Kevin Knight that left the young flyer dazed
and vulnerable.
JetSpeed—riding a wave of momentum and quickness—fought back
valiantly. Mike Bailey strung together rapid-fire kicks and
an enzuigiri before tagging in Kevin Knight, who wowed the
Texas crowd with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker and a pinpoint
springboard dropkick. The two nearly scored the win off a
wheelbarrow rana / double stomp combo, but Benjamin kicked
out just in time.
The Patriarchy, meanwhile, used timing and cunning to stay
alive. Nick Wayne connected with a cutter and a full nelson
suplex, while Christian looked to steal the win with a
reverse DDT and a frog splash—but MVP broke up the pin to
save the titles for his crew. “MVP just saved it for the
Hurt Syndicate!” exclaimed Taz at ringside.
As the match spiraled into mayhem, all three teams threw
caution to the wind. Christian Cage attempted the Kill
Switch on Lashley, but “The Almighty” shoved him directly
into an incoming FTR—who were watching from ringside—and
then delivered a crushing Spear on Cage for the three-count.
After the bell, FTR climbed into the ring, clearly incensed
after being caught in the crossfire. Christian tried to
backtrack and lead his team out of the ring, but then—
shockingly—Nick Wayne turned on his mentor, dropping
Christian Cage with the Unprettier to a stunned reaction
from the crowd.
FTR looked on in disbelief, then nodded in encouragement. As
Nick looked for finality, they slid in steel chairs and set
up for a Con-Chair-To—until the arrival of Cope brought the
arena to its feet.
"Spike" in hand, the Rated R Superstar stormed the ring,
steamrolling Wayne and clearing the field. He then helped
Christian to his feet, looked him in the eye, and simply
said:
“Go find yourself.”
AEW Women’s World Championship Match: Toni Storm def.
Mercedes Moné
In an emotional, physically grueling main event, Timeless
Toni Storm defended her AEW Women’s World Championship in
dramatic fashion, surviving a relentless challenge from
Mercedes Moné and handing the “CEO” her first singles loss
in AEW.
The build to this match was full of pageantry and pressure.
Mercedes entered covered in gold, escorted by the Six
Shooters, while Toni Storm arrived with an ethereal stage
production fitting of her "timeless" moniker. But once the
bell rang, the artistry gave way to an intense and technical
war.
The early goings featured tight grappling, with Moné
attempting her Statement Maker submission and Storm
countering into a series of near-falls. Moné went to the mat
with a headscissors takedown, then transitioned beautifully
into a grapevined ankle lock, but Storm powered through,
reversing into a roll-up.
Storm fired back with German suplexes and her signature hip
attack, while Mercedes punished the champion’s arm with
joint manipulation and a tight double wristlock. A sunset
flip powerbomb from Moné on the floor stunned the crowd, and
a follow-up buckle bomb only added to the champion’s
mounting injuries—especially after her nose began bleeding
from a mid-match strike.
Momentum swung repeatedly as both women hit signature moves:
Toni landed the Storm Zero, but Moné kicked out. Mercedes
connected with the Mone Maker, but Toni somehow survived.
The crowd watched breathlessly as the two exchanged a blur
of counters—Moné with a backstabber, Storm with an STF, then
a crucifix pin attempt into a lungblower.
In the closing moments, Storm set Moné up for one final
assault. With both women exhausted and bloodied, Storm
pulled Mercedes to the top turnbuckle and planted her with
an earth-shaking Avalanche Storm Zero, scoring the win and
defending her championship.
AEW Unified Championship Match: AEW Continental Champion
Kazuchika Okada def. AEW International Champion Kenny Omega
In the fifth—and perhaps final—singles chapter of one of the
most celebrated rivalries in wrestling history, Kazuchika
Okada defeated Kenny Omega in a brutal and brilliant main
event at AEW All In: Texas, unifying the AEW Continental and
AEW International Championships to become the first-ever AEW
Unified Champion.
With Don Callis spewing venom on commentary and Kota Ibushi
at ringside in Omega’s corner, the match began with a slow
burn. Both men, masters of their craft, jockeyed for control
through crisp chain wrestling and psychological warfare.
Okada delivered a cheap shot to Omega’s midsection—the same
region damaged during Omega’s diverticulitis battle—setting
the tone for a methodical, targeted assault.
Okada relentlessly worked the abdomen, with DDTs on the
floor and the Spanish announce desk, stomps, shoulder
gutbusters, and a Tombstone Piledriver. Every move forced
Omega to fight from underneath, wincing in pain with every
breath. “It’s the center of everything,” said Taz. “You
can’t protect your abdomen in a match like this.”
Omega found hope with a missile dropkick to the back, a
Dragon Superplex, and a series of V-Triggers, including one
to the back of the head while Okada was draped in the ropes.
He even landed Croyt’s Wrath and the One-Winged Angel, but
as referee Bryce Remsburg counted—Don Callis pulled him out
of the ring, robbing Omega of the win.
Back in the ring, the action escalated again. Omega landed a
staggering Tenryu Powerbomb into another V-Trigger, but
Okada countered the follow-up into a Tombstone. A Discus
Lariat and two Rainmaker attempts were both avoided. At one
point, Omega pulled off an Avalanche Dragon Suplex, nearly
dropping Okada on his head. The crowd erupted in disbelief.
In the final exchange, as the two collapsed to their knees
and rose trading elbows, Omega countered a Rainmaker attempt
with a small package for a near-fall, then tried to reset
with another V-Trigger. Okada absorbed it, reversed the next
shot, and hit one final, emphatic Rainmaker lariat, becoming
the inaugural AEW Unified Champion.
AEW World Championship Match: Hangman Adam Page vs. Jon
Moxley
In a match that redefined brutality, “Hangman” Adam Page
defeated Jon Moxley in a barbaric Texas Death Match to
capture the AEW World Championship for the second time in
his career. This was not just a title fight; iit was a war
of attrition, soaked in blood, barbed wire, broken glass,
and redemption.
The match opened with fists flying—Moxley struck first, Page
responded, and from there, we were off to the most brutal
races you’ll ever see. Forks were introduced early, with
Page gouging Moxley's forehead, painting his chest with the
champion’s blood. Moxley retaliated by wrapping barbed wire
around Hangman’s face, drawing deeper wounds, and Marina
Shafir joined the assault by biting at Page’s lacerations.
From there, the violence escalated rapidly.
Moxley introduced a barbed wire steel chair, launched it at
Page’s head, and followed with crossface strikes and a stomp
that embedded glass into Page’s back. Tables were set up
outside the ring. A Tombstone Piledriver into the glass, and
later a Gotch-Style Piledriver into the back of a chair, had
Moxley firmly in control—but Hangman refused to stay down.
Page fired back with a powerbomb into the backs of two steel
chairs and a barbed wire-wrapped rolling elbow. After
Wheeler Yuya interfered and was taken out by Page with a
barbed wire elbow and Angel’s Wings, Marina Shafir returned,
only to be taken out with a Death Valley Driver off the
apron and through a table by Hanger.
Page landed a Deadeye into the glass, but Claudio Castagnoli
and Gabe Kidd arrived to swarm him again. Just as it looked
like the numbers would overwhelm Hangman, Will Ospreay
arrived for the save—only to be decimated with a chair by
Claudio. As Ospreay was stretchered out, Moxley took
advantage and suplexed Hangman off the apron and through
barbed wire tables, then hit a Gotch-style piledriver
followed by a Bulldog Choke. When that didn’t finish it, he
leveled Page with a Death Rider into the back of a chair.
Still, Hangman stood at nine.
A bag was passed to Moxley—a plastic bag, like the one used
to end Bryan Danielson’s career months earlier. As Mox
prepared to suffocate Page, Darby Allin appeared in a video
promo—filmed from the summit of Mount Everest—promising
revenge. And then…
Bryan Danielson returned.
Dressed in blue, disguised under a mask, Danielson exploded
into the ring with a Busaiku Knee and began unloading kicks
on every Death Rider in sight. The arena erupted.
Seconds later, Darby Allin rappelled down from the ceiling,
descending like a specter of vengeance. He wiped out the
remaining Death Riders with a Coffin Drop, while Danielson
launched Wheeler over the barricade.
Back in the ring, Hangman dropped Moxley with a Buckshot
Lariat, and followed it with a Deadeye off the apron and
through a table. As Moxley struggled to rise, Marina Shafir
helped him up, flipping off Page. But the fight wasn’t over
yet.
The Young Bucks hit the ring with a Superkick Party and an
EVP Trigger, aiding Moxley and introducing a bed of nails
from under the ring. Moxley drove Page into it with a
Blackout, followed by a Paradigm Shift into the nails. Yet
somehow, Hangman survived.
As Moxley demanded the locked briefcase containing the AEW
World Title, wanting to take out the championship and
brandish it as a weapon against Hangman—"I want him to taste
it,"—Prince Nana appeared and handcuffed Marina Shafir to
the barricade.
And moments later, Swerve Strickland made his choice.
Striding to the ring with Hangman’s own steel chain, Swerve
took out the Young Bucks, then walked to the apron and
handed the chain to his former bitter rival. Hangman didn’t
hesitate.
He wrapped the chain around his fist, leveled Moxley with
loaded punches, then looped it around his neck and draped
him over the top rope. A Buckshot Lariat into the bed of
nails followed. And with one final heave, Page hung Moxley
over the top rope again, the chain cinched tight.
Mox struggled with sheer panic all over his face, but he had
no recourse. A quick tap-out gave Page the championship once
more. He grabbed the briefcase, ripped it open, and brought
that big, beautiful belt back into the light, where it
belongs. Holding the championship high over his head,
Hangman got emotional, while the entire crowd in Arlington
celebrated as one.
Hangman is your AEW Champion. And All In was a night unlike
any other.
