AEW All In 2023 live results, match grades, highlights for historic pro wrestling event in Wembley Stadium

August 27, 2023

A dream became a reality with the first All In event in 2018. Fast forward to 2023 and the event returns as one of the largest pro wrestling events in the world under the All Elite Wrestling brand. Wembley Stadium hosts All In 2023 on August 27, while fans can view the action on BR Live in the U.S. and FITE outside of it.  



This event officially holds the record for the largest attendance for a pro wrestling event ever, with over 80,846 tickets sold. WrestleMania 32, in 2016, previously held the record with over 80,709 fans.



Several titles will be on the line in the London-based arena. MJF and Adam Cole compete twice on the card, first teaming up on the pre-show against Aussie Open for the ROH World Tag Team Titles. MJF opened the first All In in 2018 and will do iso again. This time, he’ll also main event the show as he defends the AEW World Title against Cole. 



The Elite, the brains behind the initial All In, will also be in action. Kenny Omega and “Hangman” Adam Page team with Kota Ibushi against former Bulls Club partners Jay White and Juice Robinson, who team with Konosuke Takeshita. Meanwhile, The Young Bucks face FTR in a trilogy bout for the latter’s AEW World Tag Team Titles.

AEW All In 2023 results, highlights



Hello everyone, and welcome to The Sporting News' live coverage of AEW All In! 



MJF & Adam Cole def. Aussie Open to claim ROH Tag Team Titles



The odd-couple tag team of MJF and Adam Cole provided the rabid U.K. fans with an early highlight, capturing the ROH World Tag Team Titles against Aussie Open. While the heels dominated a large portion of the match and cut off "Better Than You Bay Bay" on multiple occasions from nailing their patented double clothesline finisher. However, it was MJF who was able to turn the tables, nailing a "Kangaroo Kick" to both Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis to a thunderous ovation, before Cole entered the fray to help hit the double-team clothesline and win the titles. 






What a great way to open All In! MJF and Adam Cole are a great team and their story continues to grow in lore. It will make for an interesting main event. 



GRADE: A-



Mercedes Mone, the former Sasha Banks, was shown on the screen to a huge ovation. The multi-time women’s champion is currently injured, but could tease a potential story with AEW talent later in the evening. 



HOOK regains FTW Title in bloody battle with Jack Perry



In the second match of the "Zero Hour" pre-show, HOOK was seeking revenge on his former tag partner and retribution for the championship his father Taz created over two decades ago. The bout kicked off on the outside, with Jack Perry pulling up in a limousine, playing off his Hollywood persona, before the "Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil" met him on the ramp.



Perry hit a Rolling Thunder - shout out to Rob Van Dam - on top of the limo, before taking a not-so-subtle shot at CM Punk by pointing out the "real glass" on the windshield. HOOK would land a suplex through the glass and gained control. Later on Perry continued to taunt the crowd before being belted in the head with a trash can. Not long after, HOOK managed to secure his REDRUM submission move to win this match. 






Another hard-hitting affair between two of AEW's best young talents, setting them up for a potential rubber match down the line. 80,000+ cheering on HOOK for winning his father's belt was a cool scene.



GRADE: B



CM Punk and Samoa Joe turn back the clock, Punk retains 'Real World Title'



The main show started and the energy is electric with over 80,000+ wrestling fans. CM Punk vs. Samoa Joe continue their rivalry to kick the show off. Punk’s “Real World Title” is on the line. The two have a storied rivalry dating back to ROH. The crowd is mixed as the controversial Punk made his way to the ring. 



Lockup to start as the crowd went wild. They exchanged chops, which didn’t affect the Ring of Honor TV Champion in Joe. Submission by Punk dropped Joe to the floor, but the latter took it to the outside before Punk tricked him back in the ring. Boxing jabs by Joe and chops that had Punk hang by the ropes. Punk teased a crossbody, which Joe normally walks away from, but instead attacked him after Joe showboated. On the outside, Joe walked away from an actual crossbody as he goaded the crowd. 






Punk tried a hurricanrana on the outside but Joe caught him and smashed his head through the announce table. A bloody Punk was getting assaulted by Joe, and getting weaker by the second. Joe continued to attack, and the crowd was eating it up. Punk finally woke up but Joe put him back to sleep with vicious kicks. The crowd is now split but still red hot. Going for the Muscle Buster, Punk countered with a kick that put both men down. Punk used John Cena’s “Five Moves of Doom” and added a little Hulk Hogan to the mix, but only for one. Rollups were traded, but Joe landed a power bomb and there STF. Punk went for the figure four. After multiple counters, Punk landed a Pepsi Plunge from the middle rope for the win. 






A good way to open the main card, as Punk and Joe have great chemistry. Someone with a mixed following, Punk worked the crowd well. 



Grade: B+



Bullet Club Gold, Konosuke Takeshita beat The Golden Elite



Former Bullet Club members and friends collide as "Hangman" Adam Page, Kenny Omega, and Kota Ibushi faces Juice Robinson, Jay White, and Konosuke Takeshita. It was nice to see feuds interacting before the match began (Ibushi vs. White, Omega vs. Takeshita, and Page vs. Robinson). 



Omega and Page teamed up on Robinson until the other competitions got in the ring. White and Ibushi knew their rivalry from New Japan Pro Wrestling, as Ibushi took White’s shots and landed hard blows of his won. Omega and Ibushi teamed up on White, with the former tag team as smooth as butter. Omega cleared the ring and landed the Terminator dive on the outside. Back in the ring, the heels took over, with Takeshita attacking Omega. Ibushi tried to save Omega, but Bullet Club Gold was not having it. 



Takeshita then landed hard shots to Omega. White took over, attacking his legs. Robinson also attacked Omega, playing face in peril. Omega tried to tag his partners in, but The Gunn's prevented the tag. Page finally entered the match and took care of everyone, in and out of the ring. Everyone landed top moves, and it was left up to Omega and Ibushi, and the “Golden Lovers” landed moonsaults from the opposite ends of the ring. 






White was all alone and got attacked by Page, Omega, and Ibushi. Ibushi and White exchanged blows before fans got Omega and Takeshita. Takeshita landed hard blows, and landed a Snap Dragon Suplex to two of his opponents, but Takeshita hit him with a Blue Thunder Bomb. Knee to the back of the head by Omega and a Poisonrana. Omega and Hangman then team up on Takeshita. Robinson distracted the referee as The Gunns try to distract Page, who landed a moonsault onto them.



All competitors hit their signature moves. Ibushi dropped Takeshita, who nickel countered into a hard jumping knee. Buckshot Lariat by Page to the back of Takeshita, and Omega landed a knee to White, and another to Robinson, and then one more to White. Takeshita rolled up Omega for the win 



An abrupt finish to a fantastic match. Takeshita is a heat magnet and hopefully got his momentum back from the beginning of the summer. Something tells me this feud is far from over. Ibushi looked great compared to his appearance at Blood & Guts. 



Grade: A



FTR def. Young Bucks in an instant classic



FTR and The Young Bucks face off in a trilogy for the AEW World Tea Titles. A unique match order has CM Punk and his enemies (The Elite) compete one after the other. FTR honor Bray Wyatt, Jay Briscoe, and Brodie Lee, all who recently passed away. 



Both teams were tentative to start, with Matt and Nick Jackson focusing on the arm of Cash Wheeler. Dax Harwood in the ring, and all four trade hurricanrana’s, brawling after. Nick lands a jumping moonsault from inside to out of the thing. Matt hit Cash wit a superkick. Cash, involved in a controversy before All In, got cut off in the ring by the Bucks. Matt landed another super kick, this time to Dax. Cash was playing the tag team member in peril. 



Dax finally got to get in the ring and landed hard shots to the Bucks. He landed multiple suplexes, but Matt countered with his patented Northern Lights Suplex. They traded suplexes in what became an old school wrestling match. Nick in, but Dax put him out of commission. He landed a Sharpshooter on Matt, while Cash put Nick in one from the outside of the ring. Matt got out of it, and took out both members of FTR. On top, both teams exchanged counters to frog splashes. For landed a Spike Piledriver to Nick, but only for two. 



Shatter Machine attempt denied, and Dax almost won with a rollup. Bucks try and do the same to no avail. They landed superkicks to Dax. And landed a Spike Piledriver of their own to Dax, but only for two. Going for a piledriver, Nick hit Dax on the outside and Nick took care of Cash. The BTE Trigger misses, and Cash speared Nick through the ropes. Matt was by himself, and FTR landed the “FTR Trigger,” kissed him, and landed the Shatter Machine, but only for two.






Superkick by Dax and Nick took him out of the ring. Springboard 450 by Cash missed. BTE Trigger connected but that didn’t put away FTR. Shatter Machine by the Bucks and a BTE Trigger, but again only for two. Going for the Meltzer Driver, the Bucks got caught, and FTR landed the Shatter Machine for the win. 



What a match. FTR and The Young Bucks always deliver, and this didn’t disappoint. After plenty of debate on FTR’s reign, they have had a month to remember. Those four are the best tag teams in pro wrestling today. 



Grade: A+



FTR attempt to shake hands, but Matt and Nick aren’t having it. 



Best Friends, Eddie Kingston, Penta win violent Stadium Stampede match



Stadium Stampede is next. It seemed to be a different match compared to previous iterations, as there is more emphasis on weapons than theatrics. 



Chaos, expected, opened the bout, as Kingston went straight for Claudio. Santana and Ortiz renewed their rivalry with Best Friends, while Cassidy landed a moonsault onto a trash can. Moxley, already bleeding, used a branding iron, while Kingston and Claudio continue their brawl to the back. Penta landed a chair to the faces of Santana and Ortiz and continued his attack. Chuck Taylor and Wheeler Yuta joined Kingston and Claudio in the back. Paradigm Shift by Moxley to Penta, and the former took out skewers, but they ended up in his head.



Kingston and Claudio are now in the 200 section, as Santana and Penta exchange shots with  a chair. Penta got hurt with the chair and was taken to the back, as Cassidy and Moxley exchange shots. Moxley hit Cassidy with a fork all over the head. Brainbuster onto the chairs, and Trent is bleeding all over. Kingston attacked Yuta and then security guards. 



Back in the ring, Trent got put through a ladder and a barbed wire board. He was then pildriven onto the steel steps. Cassidy was now bleeding. An SUV pulled in as Sue, Trent’s mom got a loud ovation. Moxley kissed Sue as more weapons came out. Penta returns to a darker form and seemed healthy. He put Santana through a table. Best Friends hugged Yuta, who betrayed him, and then attacked him. Phenomenal storytelling. Yuta tried to use a screwdriver but failed. 



Claudio spun Cassidy, Moxley put Taylor through legos, and Ortiz put Trent through a table. Orange Punch to Claudio, and a bloody Cassidy put him down, but only for two. Cassidy Got duck tape and put it in glass. He tried to use it, Motley countered, but Cassidy hit him with the glass hand. Kingston came back with a barbed wire chair, sitting Claudo with it. Moxley stopped the attack and Kingston attacked both. He put Moxley through a table, and Cassidy lands the glass hand onto Claudio for the win. 



This was violent, a mess, but also great. Various stories came into play, from Eddie vs. Claudio to Orange vs. Moxley. Hopefully the boys get some rest. 



Grade: A-



 



Saraya wins AEW Women’s World Title



The women’s four-way for the AEW Women’s World Title is next. Saraya comes out to “We Will Rock You” in front of her home fans, with her entire family. 



The Outcasts’ Saraya and Toni Storm attack Britt Baker and Hikaru Shida, but Baker fends them off. Saraya and Storm both tried to win the match, but had issues pinning an opponent to claim the match for themselves. Shida took advantage and suplexed the two within the ropes. Shida got dropped, and Baker got back into the match. Saraya’s mom held Baker as Storm attacked. But her mom got hit instead. An angry Saraya attacked Storm, and the two brawl. 



Storm dropped the bottom turnbuckle and almost hit Saraya. Ruby Soho tried to stop her teammate from attacking Saraya, but she got hit by Storm. Storm got hit with a superkick by Baker and landed on Saraya for two. Saraya with a submission to Storm and Baker landed the Stomp to Storm for two. Shida landed a Falcon Arrow to Baker on Saraya and a Meteora to Saraya. 



Lockjaw by Baker to Shida but it doesn’t connect. Saraya landed spray paint to Storm, and landed the Night Cap to Storm for the win. 



The women got plenty of time to show off, which is often concerning with AEW cards. Saraya wins in front of family and friends, which may be questionable, but for now was a nice moment. 



Grade: B-



Coffin Drop: Sting and Darby Allin take down Swerve Strickland and Christian Cage



A coffin match is next between Darby Allin and Sting and Christian Cage and Swerve Strickland. Tony Khan brought back “Seek and Destroy” from Sting’s WCW days. 



Sting and Christian reunite their feud from Impact Wrestling, while Swerve and Allin brawl outside. Back in, Sting and Allin team up on Swerve, with Allin grabbing a jacket with tacks. Christian back in and blocks any potential moves, as he and Swerve spear both men. Allin got tied up by Christian, but Allin attacked both men with no hands. 



Sting took the tape off Allin, and slammed Swerve onto the coffin (though Christian did help him by closing the casket). Christian tried to hit Allin with a ConChairTo but missed. Stunner by Allin to Swerve, and Sting dove on top of Swerve on top of a table. Sting with an elbow through the table. Allin dropkicks Christian through a chair he was sitting on. 



Allin and Sting attempted to put Christian into the coffin but Luchasaurus saved him. Nick Wayne hit Luchasaurus with a skateboard, but got chokeslammed. Swerve was on the coffin, and Allin tried to hit a Coffin Drop, but Swerve moved. Sting’s by himself, and hit splashes in the corner. Scorpion Deathlock to Christian, Swerve hit him with a chair, but Sting no-sold it. Swerve stomps Sting and has his bat. With Sting in the coffin, he closed it, but the bat inside stopped it from ending the match. 



Sting got placed on top of the coffin as Christina choked Allin. Swerve was going to land a 450 Splash on the coffin, but Sting moved. Meanwhile, Allin hit Christian with the TNT Title. Sting hit the Scorpion Deathdrop to Swerve. Swerve used his hands to stop the coffin from being closed. Coffin Drop by Allin to Swerve and the match is over. 



A fun, chaotic brawl, something Sting has become the master of recently. Everyone got a chance to shine in front of 80,000+ people. Sting is a legend. Darby is a daredevil. Both make the perfect team. Now, it’s up to Allin to beat Luchasaurus at All Out. 



Grade: B



Hometown hero Will Ospreay beats Chris Jericho in a classic



Chris Jericho sings his own theme song to the ring as the crowd do the same. Will Ospreay came out to his “Elevated” theme song.



Ospreay immediately brought the fight to the outside. He landed a Sky Twister, which is about four flips, to the outside. Flying forearm by Ospreay, and then they slowed it down with chops and kicks. Back on the outside, Jericho tried to brawl with Ospreay. Suplex by Jericho on the outside apron. Ouch. 



Jericho grounded Ospreay, until the latter landed corkscrew kick and an in-ring moonsault. On top, Jericho landed a hurricanrana. He tried a Lionsault but Ospreay countered. Ospreay with a top rope moonsault to the back of Jericho, who was on the middle rope. Looking for the Oscutter, Jericho landed two Codebreakers.

Stormbreaker by Ospreay but only for two. Hidden Blade and another Stormbreaker by Ospreay for the win. 



Chris Jericho put over Will Ospreay in a big way in front of family and friends. Ospreay is a special talent and it showed here. 



Grade: A+



It was announced there are 81,035 fans inside Wembley Stadium. The largest pro wrestling event of all time. 



The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn light up House of Black



House of Black, the champions, coming out first for their match in all white. They brought out a lantern for Bray Wyatt, and the fireflies are out in full force.



The Acclaimed announced this will be a No Holds Barred match for this “House Rules” bout. Black landed a moonsault to the outside. Buddy Matthews took everyone out and so did Brody King. Billy Gunn attempted to, but Julia Hart stopped her. Anthony Bowens landed a scissor kick to Hart. King came back in and cleared house. When he attempted to crash into Gunn on the outside, the latter moved.
