Casino Gauntlet Match

Overall Rating From TheSportster: 6.75/10

The Casino Gauntlet match was a fun one at All In, with a heated start between MJF & Andrade, leading to several fun entrances, chaotic in-ring work, and more! There were a whole bunch of fun moments (including the mistaken early announcement of Mistico which resulted in a comedic couple of minutes), revisiting old feuds, near-falls, and an audience enjoying what they were seeing.

The pacing of the match wasn’t as frenetic as some of the past Casino Gauntlet matches, but the final few moments were enjoyable, with Andrade El Idolo dishing out a huge spinning elbow to take out MJF before pinning Nick Wayne to secure a massive win.

8

Trios Royale Roulette (AEW World Trios Championships)

Overall Rating From TheSportster: 7/10

The AEW Trios Royale Roulette began on the pre-show of AEW All In: London 2026 before continuing onto the main card. It was a lengthy match, dragging on for arguably too long, but it remained fun throughout due to the concept. There were some highlights, including the showdown between married couple Marina Shafir and Roderick Strong, the debut of Kofi & Austin Creed – The New Level, who teamed up with Swerve Strickland, and yet another inventive Kofi elimination escape.

We saw the continuation of several feuds throughout this contest and the crowd-pleasing victory for the new AEW World Trios Champions, The New Level & Swerve Strickland.

7

Divine Dominion Vs. The Brawling Birds (AEW Women’s Tag Team Championships)

Overall Rating From TheSportster: 7/10

Divine Dominion and The Brawling Birds were made to look like equals at AEW All In: London 2026, both dishing out hard-hitting and stiff offense, with momentum switching both ways throughout the contest.

The match might have dragged a little in some places, but for the most part the pacing between these four women remained pretty strong. After a hard-fought clash, The Brawling Birds hit Two Birds One Stone to secure the victory and stand tall as the new AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions.

6

Kevin Knight Vs. Darby Allin (TNT Championship)

Overall Rating From TheSportster: 7.5/10

Darby Allin & Kevin Knight went all out in the opening stages, with their bad blood beginning at Double Or Nothing taking full shape as they attempted to do permanent damage to one another. After some wild bumps, Don Callis Family interference, and Allin fighting with his hands tied, Steven Borden and Sting showed up to level the playing field. A nice passing of the torch moment took place as Sting allowed his son to hit a big crossbody from atop a ladder.

Allin ended the match with one of the most insane Coffin Drops ever from the All In stage, before hitting another off the ramp to secure the TNT Championship. It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t a technical classic, but it had memorable moments.

5

Kyle Fletcher Vs. Kazuchika Okada Vs. Konosuke Takeshita (AEW International Championship)

Overall Rating From TheSportster: 8.5/10

The tone was set for this match when Kyle Fletcher superkicked ally Kazuchika Okada, showing that there were zero friends for this International Title triple threat, also involving former ally Konosuke Takeshita. The matchup featured a whole of top class in-ring work, wild three-man sequences, hard-hitting moments, and fun character-driven spots too.

The ending of the match saw three big moves hit by all three competitors, but it was Okada who secured the victory with a massive Rainmaker on Fletcher to stand tall with the gold. From an in-ring standpoint, this was flawless, though it came at the expense of Fletcher’s short reign.

4

Jon Moxley Vs. Nigel McGuinness (Continental Cup Final)

Overall Rating From TheSportster: 9/10

This was a slow-burn match but it was one that built up perfectly. The opening stages saw technical and tactical work from both men, in which limb work and in-ring psychology were explored brilliantly, as McGuinness targeted Moxley’s arm and Moxley sought to damage McGuinness’ injured foot.

The match grew in tension and physicality as it continued, with masterful submissions, counters, reversals, and near-falls, but it was Moxley who forced McGuinness to submit, who couldn’t hold on after being inches from the ropes. Moxley’s impressive reign as Continental Champion continued.

3

Cage & Cope Vs. The Young Bucks (AEW World Tag Team Championships)

Overall Rating From TheSportster: 9.25/10

The Young Bucks vs. Cage & Cope lived up to the “dream match” billing. Not only did these two teams engage in seamless, smooth, and beautifully wrestled tag team exchanges, but this match was escalated even more with the added layers of storytelling with Nick Jackson’s weakened leg and Matt Jackson’s hurt neck, adding so much in terms of psychology, selling, and moments.

This match featured fast-paced sequences, homages to legendary tag teams, strong character work (mostly from the devilish Christian Cage), insane near-falls, and an audience who were carried along for the ride, providing the match with a top tier atmosphere. After a hard-fought contest, it was Cage’s cheating that provided the veterans with a successful title defense.

2

Willow Nightingale Vs. Mercedes Mone (AEW Women’s World Championship)

Overall Rating From TheSportster: 9.75/10

The clash between Mercedes Mone and Willow Nightingale felt like an authentic struggle, getting better and better the longer it went on. Not only did this match have supreme levels of in-ring work, but the in-ring psychology was phenomenal, particularly surrounding the broken hand of Nightingale. Early on, Mone suffered a gnarly broken nose, but the bloodshed only added to the intense and elevated the physical atmosphere of this AEW Women’s World Title matchup. The broken nose and bloodied face made Mone’s brutal attacks even more maniacal, making her villainous performance a special one.

The match continued with huge moves, near-falls, referee bumps, counters, all until Mone forced Nightingale to pass out with a Bank Statement. These two always tear the house down, and this was no different.

1

Kenny Omega Vs. Will Ospreay (AEW World Championship)

Overall Rating From TheSportster: 10/10

This was a spectacle. From the entrances to the match itself to the post-match celebration, this had the biggest fight feel imaginable. It had a steady start, but as soon as Kenny Omega’s heelish antics and violent attacks began, this was elevated into something special. The level of brutality, the barrels of bloodshed, the stiffness, and the atmosphere all came together in a match that may have taken years from the careers of Will Ospreay and Omega, but it resulted in one of AEW’s greatest ever matches.

This was the ultimate main event match fit with incredible in-ring work, wild psychology, and some of the most insane kickouts in AEW history; Ospreay becoming the first man to kick out of Omega’s One Winged Angel, and Omega kicking out at one (twice!), before Ospreay sealed the deal with one last brutal Hidden Blade to become the new AEW World Champion.
