AEW Dynamite featured some changes to the All In pay-per-view along with Aussie Open facing The Hardys in the main event.
Entrances took place for a match between The Elite (Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks) against Juice Robinson & The Gunns of Bullet Club Gold. The Elite attacked before their opponents got to the ring, so there was a big brawl all around the ring. More people came out like Konosuke Takeshita and FTR. Everybody brawled to the back except Omega and Takeshita with Takeshita escaping before Omega could hit him with One Winged Angel.
MJF did a sitdown interview with Renee Paquette. MJF talked about his friendship with Adam Cole and how he could never trust somebody as a best friend before. MJF said he was excited to be part of All In with his best friend Adam Cole.
Match #1:Jon Moxley defeated Rey Fenix by submission with a rear naked choke.
After the match, Moxley’s buddies in the BCC were there to attack Fenix. They hit Fenix with a crowbar. When Fenix’s friends arrived, they were attacked by Ortiz & Santana, who made their return.
Rey Fenix was shown taken away on a stretcher. This covers the real story of Fenix missing AEW All In.
Chris Jericho and Will Ospreay had the contract signing for their match at AEW All In. Both guys made their points. Ospreay bragged about how great he is while Jericho said it’s the biggest show of his 30+ year career. They both signed the contracts. It nearly led to a fight, but security kept them apart.
Adam Cole was interviewed by Renee Paquette. Cole talked about how MJF helped him get his confidence back. When Renee mentioned Roderick Strong & The Kingdom having issues with Cole and MJF being friends, Cole screamed about how this was done. Cole said there are no issues with MJF and him.
Match #2: Darby Allin & Nick Wayne beat Swerve Strickland & AR Fox in a Tornado Tag Team Match. Nick beat Fox to win for Nick’s first win on AEW TV.
After the match, Swerve Strickland kicked AR Fox out of Mogul Embassy for losing. Brian Cage arrived to attack Fox. Darby Allin, Sting & Wayne saved AR Fox. Allin said despite what Fox did to him, Allin loves him and they hugged. Allin wondered who Swerve would team with at All In.
Luchasaurus and Christian Cage arrived with Luchasaurus’ TNT Title that Christian always carries around. Christian made insensitive dead father remarks toward Nick Wayne. Luchasaurus will team with Swerve at All In against Darby & Sting in the Coffin Match.
The AEW Tag Team Champions FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) and The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson) were interviewed by Renee Paquette. Friendly banter and confidence from both sides. Matt said that The Young Bucks will be remembered as the best team ever while FTR was named on the Bucks’ YouTube show. Harwood fired back with confidence about winning at All in. No mention of Cash Wheeler’s gun arrest, of course.
Match #3: Ruby Soho defeated Skye Blue.
Roderick Strong & The Kingdom did a quick interview where Strong said at the end of Sunday night at All In, we’re going to find out who the real MJF is and who the real Adam Cole is.
The Acclaimed were nearly attacked by The House of Black, but Billy Gunn arrived for the save. Billy said one more time, he’s competing again at All In with The Acclaimed against Trios Tag Team Champions The House of Black.
Match #4: Aussie Open (Mark Davis & Kyle Fletcher) defeated The Hardy Boys (Matt & Jeff Hardy)
After the match, Aussie Open did a promo about beating MJF & Adam Cole at All In. That led to Cole & MJF cleaning house. MJF and Cole teased some tension, but they ended up hugging it out at the end.
