What did Dave Meltzer make of the action at AEW All In?
On August 27th, AEW headed to the United Kingdom for the first time ever. All In saw more than 80,000 fans back into the famous Wembley Stadium, making it one of the biggest wrestling events in history.
Although much of the conversation since has been dominated by the physical altercation between CM Punk and Jack Perry, it was the action in the ring that took centre stage on the night.
It was a whirlwind day in the lives of Adam Cole and MJF, who teamed together to win the ROH World Tag Team Titles in the opening match of the pre-show, before battling for the AEW World Championship in the main event. Despite obvious tension, the pair’s friendship remained intact, despite MJF retaining AEW’s top prize.
Elsewhere, there was a popular win for Saraya as she claimed the AEW Women’s World Championship, and fellow hometown hero Will Ospreay overcame Chris Jericho. FTR managed to retain their AEW World Tag Team Titles with a win over the Young Bucks, and The Acclaimed overcame the House of Black to win the AEW World Trios Titles.
