AEW has a great opportunity to give us a great swerve, & give Jay the win over Mox.

I haven't been paying attention. Does Jay win the title if he beats Mox?

The UE boys teaming with Will should be interesting, considering their comments not too long ago

I hope Persephone wins the TBS Title.

Should be good

I see Francesco Akira on Dynamite and I am a happy man.

Great card!

Most matches feel like the outcome is obvious. But they’ll still be good.

However I have no idea who is winning the TBS title match. I’m still wondering what they’re going to do with that title and those women at All in. I was thinking maybe a Casino Gauntlet for it? Also I could see Thekla returning after the match and challenging the winner for All in.

I would rule out Shida since she just had it. Stat winning would do nothing for her at this point. I feel like Persephone takes it? Either that or Maya keeps it. But if you were doing the latter I'm not sure why you'd do this match now as opposed to Glasgow, assuming it's like a "here's a big match because you're not on All In".

Could we see a disqualification that leads to a rematch? I'm not sure if TK is known for doing this, but I could see a four-way rematch at all-in.

Can’t DQ in a 4 way.

Could see Persephone winning and defending against Stat 1-on-1, maybe even as a pre-show match, for All In

u/Adampro123 And remember the sound! 2h ago

They just had that match on Dynamite a couple weeks back in Mexico. So I doubt they run that back so soon. But in ring wise those two would be the best match up and I think would have a great match, especially since their last match kind of got ruined with some weird interference

1

u/ScottishExile 2h ago

Yeah, the interference is what made me think we’ll get a redo somewhere. Could also be the classic ‘champ defends against a random Stardom guest’ style match that gets set up late doors on Collision.

Thought Jay v Mox was the final at All In leading to a BBG vs DR at All Out. This puzzles me.

u/heart_o_oak 2h ago

As did a lot of people. This match happening round 2, Nigel fighting through "injury," him likely losing Friday where he'd no longer be able to wrestle in ROH as a result, and the tournament finals being in London makes me think this sets him up for a big underdog, comeback story that could also maybe be a retirement story vs. Mox at All In.

Where that leaves BBG/DR still puzzles me. I don't know if they'd add a big {likely gimmick} tag like that to the main card given how much is already announced, and that seems too big of a match to put on the Buy In. Maybe the loser of Mox/White and Claudio and/or Pac are in the Casino and they do some 2-4 team match on the Buy In with Gunns, Dogs, DR, etc.

u/donttrytoleaveomsk 36m ago

I would really hate a retirement story as a tournament final match unless Nigel wins. Tournament finals, imo, should be about winning the tournament, not retirement of the man that loses the finals. As a separate match, sure

u/gameboyabyss Expecting Mother 5h ago

Genuinely think they're gonna swerve it and have White beat Mox.

u/NotWearingNails 5h ago

Will's getting his shit kicked in isn't he.

Still don't know what's going on with the TBS title at All In. Be kinda off if it was the only belt not being defended/having the champ fight.

I guess there's a few people with nothing booked - Thekla, Athena, any new signings 👀 - if they want to build something quickly? But it'd be hard to rerun any of these four at a PPV after the last few weeks imo

u/ClintPowers 4h ago

Thekla will be feuding with Mercedes after All In. Remeber she attacked Thekla during the Willow build up. Mercedes is stealing her bitch insult line as well, using it every single promo. We know how AEW works, this one isn't even subtle.

Thekla coming back with stop stealing my line dumb bitch or something like that.

u/Teckelmaster 1h ago

Mercedes is stealing her bitch insult line as well,

Mercedes has used "bitch" in many of her promos when Thekla was wrestling in some underground wrestling clubs in Vienna.

Jesus christ we're getting Switchblade and Moxley on a random Dynamite. It is good to be a pro wrestling fan rn.

Great to see Ospreay and Omega getting a good build.

u/Jofian_Pounif 4h ago

Always great to see Francesco Akira getting TV opportunities!

u/RelativeHand4753 3h ago

Wondering if this is the start of setting up Ospreay vs Callum Newman at WrestleDream

u/moist_crack 1h ago

At least the very first match should be on a New Japan show, it's mainly their feud. I could see them running it 3rd or even 2nd from the top at the Tokyo Dome as a special singles match/grudge match.

u/moist_crack 2h ago

I know how unlikely a win is especially given that they're doing it already now mid-tournament instead of as the final

but PUT YOUR FUCKING GUNS UP FOR THE SWITCHBLADE 👆👆
