Live Coverage.
- Excalibur & Taz (with Tony Schiavone joining the broadcast team later in the show) welcomed the audience to the broadcast before transitioning into the opening segment.
- Tony Schiavone moderated the contract signing with Dr. Britt Baker, DMD & TBS Champion Mercedes Moné (with Kamille) to make their match official for AEW All In. Moné said she was the future while Baker was the past, but Baker responded by saying before there was a CEO, there was a DMD in AEW and Moné noticed that firsthand last year while she was injured at All In 2023. Moné made fun of Baker being inspired by Moné while she was studying to be a Dentist, saying she was not “all in” as a wrestler. Baker acknowledged that Moné made a difference in wrestling, but now Moné was an arrogant woman that is taking spots from stars like herself. Baker told Moné to bring her best that was the version of Mercedes she wanted to beat at All In. Baker said she would not attack Moné, but Kamille was getting on her nerves. Baker bonked Kamille with the microphone before catching both Kamille and Moné with a crossbody off the table.
- Renee Paquette interviewed The Learning Tree (Bryan Keith, Big Bill & FTW Champion Chris Jericho), where Jericho took offense with "Dynamite Kid" Tommy Billington being named the "Dynamite Kid" and told HOOK to watch the match closely.
- Chris Jericho (w/ Bryan Keith & Big Bill) def. "Dynamite Kid" Tommy Billington via Pinfall (Mid-Air Code Breaker).
- Chris Jericho cut a promo after the match where he promised to destroy HOOK at AEW All In "branch by branch". HOOK confronted Jericho in the ring, but Big Bill attacked HOOK after the match before hitting him with a chokeslam.
- AEW Women's World Championship Match: "Timeless" Toni Storm (c) def. Saraya (w/ Harley Cameron) via Pinfall (Storm Zero).
- Mariah May attacked Storm from behind after the match, decking Storm in the head with her shoe. May stole Storm's spotlight ahead of their title match on AEW All In.
- Renee Paquette interviewed The Conglomeration (Kyle O'Reilly, Orange Cassidy, Tomohiro Ishii, ROH Men's World Champion Mark Briscoe & CMLL Women's World Champion Willow Nightingale), where Briscoe revealed that O'Reilly and himself would be entering the All In Casino Gauntlet and challenged the Undisputed Kingdom to a Trios Match for AEW Collision.
- Will Ospreay & AEW American Champion MJF came to the ring for a face-to-face ahead of their title match at AEW All In. Ospreay was bamboozled to being beloved by the Wales crowd, comparing it to "Gavin Meets Stacy", but said that All In was about cleaning up the mess made by MJF and said the crowd would call him Barry Scott because he promised to "Bang & the dirt is gone" to MJF. MJF responded by saying that jammed-packed arenas were louder than him and he did not to be a flip merchant to get the job done while all he had to do was the Kangaroo Kick. MJF said he came back early from injury because he was begged by AEW & Warner Brothers Discovery to clean up Ospreay's "mess", calling Ospreay an arrogant prick; however, Ospreay responded by saying MJF was the arrogant one and told him to shut up and called him a "bell-end".
Ospreay said the Double Clothesline was funny, but MJF's joke went on for too long because no one talked about last year's main event and bragged about Tony Khan calling him from NJPW to put on a good match because Khan did not trust MJF to put in a good match, reminding MJF this was about remind everyone what was the alternative and "restore the feeling" to AEW. MJF said he did not care about the people, he only cared about winning and said it was sad that Khan thought the company would be safe in Ospreay's hands, bragging that pundits and former wrestlers believed he was the best wrestler on god's green earth while Ospreay was called the best in the world by fans who know nothing about Professional Wrestling, stating he was the ace while Ospreay was second place. MJF then said Ospreay had one move in the chamber that could beat him (Tiger Driver 91) but was too much of a coward to hit the move. Ospreay congratulated MJF on his promo but declared that history books can be re-written but the feeling cannot be replicated and stated that if he asked anyone around the world who the best was they would all answer Will Ospreay, which is why he needed to win at AEW All In. Ospreay then said MJF got over in 4 years while Ospreay got over in 4 beats of theme music, but MJF finally said the quiet part out loud: the fans loved him before Ospreay arrived at AEW. MJF then said to Ospreay that the next time Ospreay's wife has a child, it won't be his. Ospreay then attacked MJF before an army of security guards separated them, but MJF blasted Ospreay with the Dynamite Diamond Ring, busting Ospreay open with blood. MJF continued to attack Ospreya before trying to hit the Tiger Driver 91 on Ospreay, but he was stopped by an army of security guards and Christopher Daniels. - Renee Paquette interviewed "Hangman" Adam Page, where he promised to run over anyone in the match. Sadly, that included Evil Uno. After Uno revealed he was entered into the Casino Gauntlet, Page viciously attacked Evil Uno in the neck with a chair and reiterated he would run through anyone to stop "his" joy and win the AEW World Title.
- AEW Continental Championship Match: Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. Claudio Castagnoli Ended in a Time-Limit Draw.
- The Elite (Matthew Jackson, Nicholas Jackson & Jack Perry) interrupted and asked the crowd if they wanted 5 more minutes of the match. Matthew Jackson said that, unfortunately, that would not happen tonight because Okada was only contractually obligated to wrestle for the 20-minute time limit before telling Castagnoli to remove himself from the ring. Castagnoli had put his mouth guard in, but Darby Allin & FTR made their entrances for their trios match against The Elite as Okada & Castagnoli brawled their way to the stage.
- Darby Allin & FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood) def. The Elite (Jack Perry, Matthew Jackson & Nicholas Jackson) via Pinfall (The Power, The Glory & The Coffin Drop on Matthew Jackson).
- The Acclaimed (Max Caster, Anthony Bowens & "Daddy Ass" Billy Gunn) cut a promo after the match, where Caster said that neither team could beat The Acclaimed in the last week and it was time to nut up or shut up. Bowens said that while they would love to brawl with The Young Bucks & FTR, that was not needed because neither team could beat them and promised to fight until they win the AEW Tag Titles.
- Renee Paquette interviewed Will Ospreay backstage, but was immediately interrupted by Bryan Danielson telling him to look at him before saying the following: "Do it".
- Nigel McGuiness was in the ring for "The Final Showdown" before inviting Swerve Strickland (with Prince Nana). Strickland talked about his undefeated streak in 2024, saying he felt disrespected by Danielson "preparing" for retirement and said he would make sure Danielson stays retired, promising to be everywhere Danielson was any time he gets the "itch" to return to the ring, even if he was spending time with his family. Danielson interrupted and declared he had been the best fucking wrestler for the past 20 years and declared that if Swerve Strickland wanted to retain the title and take Danielson's career, he would have to take his soul. Danielson then asked if The American Dragon could beat the AEW World Champion before coordinating the yes chants. The battle lines have been drawn for All In to end the broadcast.
The contract is signed and THIS SUNDAY at #AEWAllInLondon it will be the Blueprint vs the Gold Standard for the TBS Championship!
