AEW returns to PPV on Sunday with their biggest show of the year. It’s AEW’s version of WrestleMania and it’s the All In PPV event from inside Wembley Stadium in London.
50,000 strong are expected to pack Wembley Stadium to watch their hometown star, Will Ospreay, try to bring home the AEW Men’s World Heavyweight Championship. To do so, Ospreay is going to have to defeat Kenny Omega in the All In main event.
It’s unreasonable to expect one, but is it wrong to hope for an absolute classic between these two? Hardly.
A classic main event
A classic is what AEW has sold. Luckily, they have two guys standing across the ring from one another that are more than capable of delivering.
Ospreay and Omega are all-time greats already. They’ve had legendary matches together and against a who’s who of top talent not under the WWE banner. At All In on Sunday, they’ll have their biggest stakes and biggest stage yet. It’s a recipe for something special.
Will Ospreay is going to win this match. After, he’ll be primed up as the real face of AEW. Anything short of a definitive outcome in Ospreay’s favor would be an epic disaster. It’s his country, his building, and his time. When the stars align that way, you don’t ignore them.
On the women’s side of aisle, there’s a bit of a different situation going on. At All In, Willow Nightingale will defend her AEW Women’s World Championship against Mercedes Mone. Nightingale hasn’t been champion that long, but is looking at the biggest match of her career opposite Mone and with the Wembley Stadium backdrop behind her.
Broken hand? Big deal
Here’s a hot take. Nightingale is injured going into this match. Tony Khan confirmed on his All In media call this week that she hurt her hand. Nightingale then revealed that it was broken. Conventional wisdom says that both women will have to slow it down because of the hand and that the match would suffer because of it. It won’t.
Mercedes Mone is a ring general. She’s flashy and has big spots in her arsenal, but her most valuable asset in the ring is her ability to adapt to the situation she’s in. Whether it’s a unique opponent, storyline, or meta circumstance, Mone has regularly proven that she can overcome.
Mone is going to view the Nightingale injury as an opportunity. They have the story of the match right in front of them — a vicious Mone obliterates the hand relentlessly. Nightingale screams and sells. Boom. Drama ensues. When Mone needs to be a monster she can be and Nightingale has a natural babyface aura to generate sympathy. That’s a lethal combination that will help the match more than wild moves.
With Nightingale injured, look for Mone to get the win and secure the AEW World Championship for the first time in her career. If Nightingale has to take time off to heal, it makes sense to get the championship off of her. More importantly than that, a Nightingale loss puts her back on the championship chase. She’s great in that role.
The Young Bucks vs. Adam Copeland and Christian Cage is the other lead match on the All In card this year. A dream match. An eras colliding match. A perfect match for the show, despite the fact that the build has been less than ideal.
The new era wins
The Copeland and Cage reunion is supposed to be a fun nostalgia partnership, but it almost always comes across as both guys being pushed through the curtain against their will. Nostalgia acts are typically designed as fun. Copeland and Cage don’t appear to be having any.
Now, once the bell rings, sit-back, relax, and appreciate a clash of styles. These two teams are not the same type of tag team. That will be fun dynamic to watch play out.
Copeland and Cage need to put The Young Bucks over in this match. AEW is a Young Bucks company. Their era has to come out victorious in what is essentially a passing of the torch moment.
The rest of the card features a batch of fun matches including Darby Allin vs. Kevin Knight for the TNT Championship and Jon Moxley vs. Nigel McGuinness in the finals of the Continental Cup Classic.
There’s two sleeper matches to keep an eye on. First, Divine Dominion vs. The Brawling Birds for the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships. These two teams have feuded for quite a while. It’s been a straightforward heel against babyface build, but that will payoff nicely when The Birds get in front of their home country audience in London. If this gets enough time, look out.
The other is the AEW Trios Roulette Royale. Brodido and Adam Page will defend their AEW World Trios Championships against The Bang Bang Gang, The Demand, The Dogs, The Death Riders, The Conglomeration, and a surprise team. That surprise team is the story. We know Swerve Strickland will be part of it and he just made a post on “X” that said “New.” Hmm … I wonder what he’s teasing there? What are Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods doing this weekend?
