Five new champions were crowned at All In at Wembley Stadium, with just three champions managing to keep their hardware.
Apart from The Young Bucks, Jack Perry, and Mercedes Mone, all the other champions are leaving London with less items in their carry-on luggage with several “changing of the guard” moments throughout the four-hour broadcast.
There are new AEW Trios tag team champs in town as Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, and Pac won the four-way London ladder match, ending The Patriarchy’s reign. It was Pac, who was originally scheduled to team up with the Lucha Bros in this match, who grabbed one of the titles to secure the victory.
The timeless era is over as Toni Storm’s reign of 281 days as AEW Women’s champion came to a halt at All In, with Mariah May defeating her former friend. Storm won the title from Hikaru Shida back in November 2023 at Full Gear and had a very successful run with the belt, climbing to the second place of the most with combined days behind Shida. This is May’s first run with a title in AEW since she signed with the promotion.
Hook became a three-time FTW champion after he beat Chris Jericho in a last chance match. Hook’s odds were greatly against him with Bryan Keith and Big Bill constantly interfering but Hook’s dad, Taz, had enough on commentary at one point and locked in the Tazmission on Keith as his son did the same on Jericho, who tapped out.
Britain’s favorite Will Ospreay had a classic match with MJF which resulted in a new champion being crowned. Ospreay won the match after hitting the Tiger Driver and a little assist from the returning Daniel Garcia. The AEW American title is now no more and the AEW International title is back as Ospreay didn’t even want to touch it after he won. Christopher Daniels ran down to hand Ospreay the original title. Needless to say, Ospreay was the true star of this show and was over like crazy.
And to finish off the pay-per-view, Bryan Danielson won his first AEW World title after he defeated Swerve Strickland in a career vs title match with his family by his side. Danielson, sporting a crimson mask, made Strickland tap out to send the Wembley crowd into frenzy. The crowd was firmly behind the American Dragon, popping for every time he breaks the pinfall and chanting “Yes! Yes! Yes!” throughout the match. After the match was over, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, and Pac came out to celebrate with Bryan. His wife Brie, daughter Birdie, and son Buddy also joined in the ring, with the two kids clearly enjoying themselves even though it was probably way past their bed time!
YES! YES! YES! #ANDNEW #AEW World Champion!
