Thoughts: The Guns should probably have won here since it was thier PPV debut. And it's a 5-match series, so both teams are going to win and lose during it anyway. It was an okay match. The switch from the Tailgate Brawl to the PPV was a bit of distraction. They didn't do anything to out of the norm here to really put this over the top.

Thoughts: It kind of went as I thought it would with them both doing some cheating and Nick winning in the end. CJ didn't do all the wild stuff Nick usually does which helped things somewhat. It was acceptable enough and they had some of the logic of this down.

Nick gets on the mic after. Nick says he beat CJ for the 2nd time and a blast of fireworks goes off.

Thoughts: 3 of the 4 guys here are spotmonkeys who don't sell and do way too much. This match was always going to be an indy extravaganza and that's what it was. I hated it. It was little but big moves with none of them meaning squat.

Thoughts: It was alright. Bandido's big moonsault double fallaway slam spot at the end was super cool. We got a lot of mayhem and flying as expected. Some of the outside bridge spots could have been sped up or removed.

Kofi's team grabs the titles after as Band's team poses. Swerve drops his title instead of handing it to Page and Kofi/Creed hand their titles over to King and Band after.

Renee is on the stage and introduces us to the newest AEW member. They have some kind of giant old school clock. Ilja Dragunov comes out as expected. He's a good wrestler and he'll have a lot of good matches. I don't expect him to be a ratings draw and I worry AEW will get him even more banged up than he usually is.

Thoughts: This was obviously taken off of NXT's Iron Survivor Challenge...but I love that match so I'm not complaining. It didn't quite get enough time, which is not something that gets said a lot with big AEW PPV matches. I think this could have been expanded upon in a lot of ways with various stories, but at least it didn't overstay it's welcome. It was good. Like a lot of multi-man matches, you had people coming in and out randomly to do a spot then swap out with the next guy. It had a lot of action but wasn't as crazy as I had expected it to be. Will winning this as champ doesn't really do much to advance stories while it writes off the other guys for the time being. They said there would be a sudden death here if needed but oddly, we didn't get to it. I'd be down for seeing this one again. I think this might be better if the winner has to reach ___ number of points. Then, it can go as long as it needs to go.

Cope offers Will a handshake after and Will accepts it. Cope seems to motion that he wants the title still. Will poses with the title to close the show.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual very long AEW PPV. It went 4 hours and 15 minutes (plus the hour pre-show) and if you stayed up for this, you were up until 12:15AM. It's nice of them to try and give the fans their money's worth, but it's an endurance battle to get through these and it takes up too much time.The only match I didn't like here was The Young Bucks' match. The wrestlers didn't go all out for the main here but the main was a nice tryout for the concept. I'm sure the next time they do that match, it'll be insane, but today was not that night. This PPV had a real weak build going in but AEW is also just a more-wrestling oriented promotion and the stories are usually secondary to the action. I'd say the main was the match of the night. I'd give this a 7 out of 10 total and it was a good show.

We cut away from the ring. They show the hosts and do not show the ring.

Blood and Guts is on 11/4.

Tony Schiavone repeats what he said a little ago about Steven Borden.

Mercedes Mone comes out on the stage and poses. Thek has some words for her from the ring.

Cash is thrown over a standing ladder and hits his legs on the ropes as he falls.  Cage takes a bte trigger off a ladder and The Bucks grab the tag titles to win.

Thoughts: The Bucks win...of course. Did they need to win? No, but the AEW Tag division is only allowed to focus on 2 teams and those are The Bucks and FTR. And The Bucks just happen to be EVP's, which I'm sure had no weight in this outcome. It was a long match with tons of dangerous spots here. I'm sure there were multiple injuries. I'm not trying to purposely undercut this, just everything you could really do in a ladder match has been done already and the bar for outdoing something like TLC II is so impossibly high that it's not even worth it. I just don't want to see people get hurt and take unnecessary risks on a match that probably don't stand the test of time.

We get a video on Wardlow, who has been out of action since March 2024.

Thoughts: I wasn't that into this one going in and I didn't think it was that good. I didn't like the story going into this and it's a long extension of the problems The BCC and now The Death Riders have run into. Some days they are faces, some days they are cold-blooded killers and that makes it hard for storyline building. Mox and Will should hate each other, but they treat each other as respect rivals and whatever you end up getting when they interact just seems to be a coin toss depending on the day. We had a bunch of random interference here which will surely lead to Blood and Guts too that didn't help this. I thought this was below average.

Mox takes Will's belt away from him after. Mox then puts the belt on him.

Overall thoughts: It was the usual very long AEW PPV. If you watched the pre-show, you were here for 5.5 hours. AEW hardcores might not mind but for people who aren't as into AEW, it's an endurance contest. I didn't like Idolo/Pac. Darby's tag match ended via due to a doctor's stoppage. Persphone/Luna didn't work. Okada/Ciampa was alright. The Women's tag match was something different and it was also alright. I thought the AEW Trios Title match was the match of the night. Willow/Thekla was average. The ladder match was your usual ladder match. Mox/Will was below average. 

As always, AEW tries to put on a good PPV and give you your money's worth. There were a lot of people missing here (MJF, Omega, Takeshita, Gabe, Jericho, The Hurt Syndicate, The Demand, The Conglomeration and Mistico). There were rumors were that Ilja Dragunov might appear here, but it didn't happen. I thought it was a weaker show overall though. I'd give it a 4 out of 10 as for how much I enjoyed it but I'd say effort wise, it was a 5 or 6 out of 10. It was just not a strong night in the ring and the hot stories weren't there. I thought it was below average. AEW's running more PPV's now and that means weaker PPV's as wrestlers have to work more so they take it easier and creative has to set up for more shows so you don't see all the best stuff all in one night.

AEW All In 2026 8/30/2026

AEW All In 2026 8/30/2026

Note - This ran against AAA Ola de Calor and NXT Heatwave 2026. 

We are in London, England at Wembley Stadium. Excliabur, Tony Schiavone and Bryan Danielson are on commentary. Don Callis, Nigel McGuiness and Tazz also come on to do commentary at various points in time.

 Pre-show/Main show:

AEW World Trios Titles - Trios Royale Roulette

This had whole trios come in at once every few minutes but members could be individually eliminated. The big spot here was Roderick Strong doing a backbreaker to his wife, Marina Shafir. This saw The Demand and The Dogs team up against the faces for most of this. This then cut into the main show and finished on there. Everyone kind of got up and restarted when it cut to the main show. The surprise team was Swerve Strickland and The New Level (WWE's New Day, who are now going under the names Austin Creed and Kofi). Kofi did his usual battle royal spot where he managed to avoid having his feet touch the floor. The New Level and Swerve won as expected.

This was incredibly boring. It went on forever and was slow. There was tons of downtime where little happened and it was all pretty much built around waiting for The New Level to arrive (everyone assumed they were debuting here). This wasn't that exciting as we kept cutting away to the next team who would enter and there was a lot of people laying around while they waited for their turn to do various spots. And because there were so many people in the ring, there wasn't a lot of room to work nor the ability to get any great stories going.  The AEW Trios Titles also changed hands yet again here and those titles have changed hands too many times this year.

AEW Women's Tag Titles - Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) (c) vs. The Brawling Birds (Alex Windsor and Jamie Hayter)

Alex backdrops Meg on the apron. Jamie uranage backbreakers Lena. Lena takes a sandwich lariat then a hart attack. Lena is double pinned.

Thoughts: It was basically a tornado tag match here. There were 3-4 people in this one all throughout. I didn't like some of the no selling here. The crowd also didn't save it. I figured The Birds would win since they are at home. It was a little above average.

AEW Continental Cup Final/AEW Continental Title - Jon Moxley (c) vs. Nigel McGuinness

Mox walks past The Death Riders as he enters, slaps their hands and lets Shafir slap him. There's two fans who follow him as he walks through the crowd and kind of makes his entrance with him.

Thoughts: This was more of a gift to Nigel than a match that needed to happen. Nigel shouldn't have won here and thankfully didn't. It was fine. Mox worked the ankle a little and eventually won with an ankle lock. I didn't think it was either guy's best work though and it was a tame bout by Mox's standards.

Thoughts: I liked it. Outside of one spot, they didn't overdo it too much here, but man was the 2nd rope ddt nasty looking. It had some fun stories going on with the issues between the three guys and it made for an interesting bout. It was good.

Don celebrates with Okada after. Kyle grabs the title from Okada. Don tries to play peacemaker. Kyle gives Okada the title. Okada tells Kyle to raise his hand. Don says he will do it with him and Kyle raises Okada's hand while Okada does a goofy smile.

Thoughts: It was alright. Thankfully, Jack did not win this. They didn't overdo it too much and they had some fun moments and some nice highspots. It wasn't great or anything but it didn't go too long or get boring like the opener.

The Motor City Machine Guns come out after. The Guns get in the ring and talk to Cope and Cage. FTR and Stokeley Hathaway then come out, making their return after some time off. The New Level then come out.

Thoughts: It was fun. We had a couple of wild Darby spots as usual and tons of shenanigans here. I'm not sure the result was the right call though as Darby doesn't need the title and they were trying to do something with Kevin as champ. I'm curious what this means for both. Darby really jumped high off the lightning rig and crashed hard.

Thoughts: It would have been nice if MM did a hand/wrist submission on Willow to win since she worked it and since it was injured. Mone won as expected here. Willow's reign was a surprise to begin with and we know how much Mone loves holding titles. They both put out a good effort here. Willow did some moonsaults and Mone got bloody here. It got a lot of time to play out as well. I wasn't high on this as a semi-main, but we got enough to justify it. The match was alright.

AEW World Title - Kenny Omega (c) vs. Will Ospreay

We get a video of Will Ospreay's mom talking over top of clips of Will. We see a lot of clips of Will's pre-AEW career. Will comes out with Henare, Callum Newman and Francesco Akira.

Thoughts: They did too much here. Will took tiger driver's, 2nd rope germans, dragon suplexes on the apron, OWA's and then they started kicked out at 1 on dangerous moves by the end of it. They just went too far in the end. They did have somewhat of a story going with Will's injured neck being worked on but stuff like cravates was traded for much more dangerous maneuvers. I would have been fine with this if they cut out the last 10 minutes or so though. The last 10 minutes were just terrible with them going with all of their worst instincts. It had some positives to it but it just wasn't that good by the end. Will won as expected here as that was really the only outcome this could have had. 

Will gets fireworks after and holds up the title.

Overall thoughts: I appreciated this one not going too far over 4 hours and being on in the afternoon. It makes for a much better experience when I don't have to fight off sleep and fatigue. 

The opener was terrible. That trios gauntlet went on forever, it was slow and it is honestly my pick at this point for worst match of the year. The Women's Tag Title match was average. Mox/Nigel was fine. I liked the International Title 3-way the best on the show and it's rare when a Kyle Fletcher match wins match of the night with me. That was good. The casino gauntlet was fine. The Young Bucks' match was acceptable. Darby/Kevin was fun. Willow/Mone was okay and had potential to be great if they had followed up on Willow's arm more. The main just got too indy by the end for me with them kicking out of the most dangerous moves as possible.

Everything got a lot of time to play out as usual. Outside of the main and Darby's match, the stunts were limited. AEW does seem to have wisened up some and the wrestlers seem to be working smarter. The show wasn't real strong storyline wise, but they gave a strong effort wrestling wise as usual and with the roster being so much better than it used to be, it works. I'd give it an 8 out of 10 overall and it was good overall. I may not always love what AEW gives us on PPV, but they are going to give you your money's worth and they will do you right.

Thoughts: It wasn't quite as wild as I expected and was definitely a little slower than the matches these guys normally would have. I'd honestly make the argument that this was safer then the matches they have weekly. It was your usual ladder match with everything being built around the big spots with lots of people laying around while 2 people did something. It was alright enough for what it was but it was nothing memorable. I assumed Mike or Jack would win here and I'm glad it wasn't Jack.

Thoughts: I didn't like it. This was all about Nick supposedly having a concussion yet being able to wrestle for another 15 minutes. Will pussed out here and refused to finish Nick, which eventually cost his team the match. Nick took a piledriver on the floor and it meant nothing. This wasn't one of the worst Buck's matches at least but it wasn't that good.

Thoughts: It was the usual Kyle match where he does every move he knows and where they kick out of everything. It was very indy as always, it went too long and wasn't that good. Band lost as expected, despite being the current ROH champ. I believe he's the third ROH champ to lose this weekend alone.

Thoughts: It was disappointing. This desperately needed blood and got none, then we had a lame finish with The Death Riders interfering. It just never got so super exciting and the crowd was dead for it. Like I said earlier with the ladder match, these guys beat up each other worse on an average TV ep. I thought it was average.

Will Ospreay is interviewed. He says Nick Jackson has a history of head trauma and he doesn't with to aggravate it. Jon Moxley comes in.

Shids runs at her, Maya does a fallaway slam with a bridge and pins her.

Thoughts: Big upset here with Maya winning. Maya took most of the offense here and this was a bit one-sided. Maya just mostly sold. Someone in management really likes Maya and I'm just not really seeing it so far. There's so many girls who are at around the same level or better. I thought this was average. 

The Demand do a promo. They congratulate The Conglomeration on their pre-show fluke win. Ric says they got lucky and says to enjoy it while they still can. Ric says they demand a trios title opportunity. They then do their lines about demands and Ric does his laugh. 

Taz is now on commentary in Nigel's place.

Thoughts: It was another one-sided match here with the faces not getting that much in before winning. The faces did win as expected though. It was acceptable but not super exciting and the result was never in doubt. 

The Young Bucks come out. Cope and Cage hold the titles up and we see on the tron that these two teams are facing each other at All In.

Thoughts: It was long and just average. The crowd didn't get into it and it dragged some. It's just hard for matches like these to compete with others when they don't get to do all the wild spots and weapons. It also doesn't help that it took place during the 4th of wrestling here when the crowd was getting tired. Idolo won as expected as he's currently being pushed hard.

Thoughts: I don't agree with Willow winning the title here. It just wasn't built up enough and you can only do the "winning the title for the first time" storyline once. It seems all for naught too since Mone is likely winning the title at All In. It got a lot of time and more than it needed. It was acceptable but they really didn't go all out here and it wasn't their best effort. These kind of title changes seem to be the latest craze in AEW as Darby, Kenny and now Willow won belts when they shouldn't have.

The Conglomeration celebrate with Willow after. OC then gives Willow a bookbag to put her title in.

Thoughts: Omega won as expected here. This followed the theme for the night - longer, slower matches where they don't really go all out. I thought it was acceptable but nothing too great. It wasn't their best effort or even close to it, but they also didn't go too wild and do stupid stuff.

Kenny then grabs Will and hits a one winged angel. The Bucks come out and talk to Kenny. The Bucks and Kenny then pose.

Thoughts: Well, that was a disappointing end to The Death Riders and Will Ospreay storyline. You'd think they would have done all this at the big show, but nope. It was an odd storyline, much like MJF/Jeff Jarrett and MJF/The Hurt Business. It didn't help anyone and didn't accomplish a lot in the end.

Overall thoughts: It was your usual long AEW PPV. If you stayed up for this one, you stayed up until about 11:53PM, which is brutal on a non-holiday Sunday night. I'm glad I was not one of the ones who did that. As I mentioned earlier, it was very clear that these guys were either told to tone it down or decided to themselves. And that's because the actual big show happens next month at All In, plus they have the Arena Mexico show to do as well. The show had a weak build and it didn't really have half the stunts that a normal Dynamite has. Regardless of what AEW claims, I do not think this was planned that far in advance and I think someone just wanted a payday. There were a also a lot of names missing here or not wrestling like Swerve, MJF, Takeshita, Okada, Adam Page, Brody King, The Hurt Syndicate, Darby, FTR, Mark Briscoe and Mone. None of the new WWE releases like The New Day or The Motor City Machine Guns showed up.

The ladder match was alright. I didn't like The Death Riders vs The Bucks nor did I like Fletcher/Bandido. The chain match disappointed and was not the brutal affair it should have been. Shida/Maya was average. The tag title match was acceptable. Jericho/Ciampa was alright. Idolo/Davis was average. Thek/Willow was acceptable as was the main. I'd say Jericho/Ciampa was the best match here. 

I'd give this a 5 out of 10. It was an average, toned down night for AEW and it wasn't their best work. This PPV didn't really need to happen.
