AEW All In Texas 2025 Results As Hangman Adam Page Dethrones Jon Moxley
Hangman Adam Page vs. Jon Moxley in a Texas Death Match. Hangman Adam Page beat Jon Moxley in a bloody and emotional main event at AEW All In Texas. Hangman Adam Page entered this high-stakes match as a massive -850 favorite over Jon Moxley as AEW entered the doorstep of a Great White Hope. With help from friends, enemies and old faces, Hangman Adam Page brought the AEW Championship home. Jon Moxley Vs. Hangman Adam Page And Everything That Happened Hangman Adam Page was played out by a live whistling theme. He then walked out to his old theme music to an enormous pop. Jon Moxley entered Globe Life Stadium in what Jim Ross called a Redneck Chariot. The chariot housed the Deathriders in the bed of the truck. There were two barbed wired tables outside of the ring. Fittingly, there hasn't been a single table bump all night. Justin Roberts clarified that the only way to win a Texas Death Match was by knockout or submission. There was a small sign that read 'If Mox Wins We Riot!' Hangman is 4-1 in Texas Death Matches, the best record in AEW history. Hangman Adam Page pulled out a fork. After being trapped in a Triangle choke, Hangman stabbed Mox in the head with the fork, immediately bloodying Jon Moxley. As Jim Ross reminisced about calling Texas Death Matches from back in the day, Excalibur cut him off as Moxley attepmted to strangle Hangman with barbed wire IRL. Moxley succeeded in a second attempt to bloody Hangman with barbed wire. Shafir followed up by biting at Hangman's forehead. Five minutes into this match—and 15 minutes into WWE SNME, and both combatants were bleeding. Marina Shafir brought out glass bottles in a bucket. She stomped shards of glass throughout the corner of the ring. Jon Moxley rubbed the glass in Hangman's face. Mox then dragged Mox's body through the broken glass as fans chanted 'you sick F!' Fans rallied behind Hangman as Moxley set up two chairs sitting nest to one another perpendicularly. Moxley wanted a powerbomb, a bloody Hangman headbutted his way out. Hangman turned the chairs around back-to-back and hit a powerbomb at the apex of the chairs. Moxley hit multiple clotheslines on Moxley before Wheeler Yuta hit The Hangman in the back with a steel chair. Page no-sold it and knocked out Yuta. Hangman hit the Angel's Wings on Moxley—an homage to Christopher Daniels—but did not get the full 10 count. Marina Shafir Jumped on the back of Hangman as he attempted the Buckshot Lariat. Hangman answered with a Cowboy driver through the table. Hangman continued like Mario with the Super Star and hit a Deadeye on Moxley. Yuta and Castagnoli finally cut Page off with a two-on-one advantage. Ospreay came to Hangman's aid, but was pillmanized by the Deathriders. This brought out a stretcher for Ospreay. A bloody Mox followed up with a suplex through two barbed-wired tables. The announce team talked about how shocked they were with the amount of blood in this match, and Excalibur—frustrated—lectured them about how this is exactly what they should expect in a Texas Death Match. Mox trapped Hangman Adam Page in a Bulldog Choke. Hangman beat the count by one. After taking a Death Rider through a steel chair, Hangman beat the 10 count again. As Moxley and the Death Riders prepared to finished off Page, Darby Allin appeared from atop Mount Everest. Darby said he was going to take everything from him. This brought out Daniel Bryan, who attacked the Deathriders. Darby Allin ascended from the top of the Globe Life Field to a huge pop. Moxley looked like he had seen a ghost. Hangman hit two Buckshot Lariats and a Deadeye through the table. The referee counted to nine and Marin Shafir pulled Moxley to his feet. Shafir flipped off Hangman, and the Young Bucks hit the ring with a double superkick. Moxley and Shafir brought out a bed of nails to a big reaction. Moxley hit a Stomp on the bed of nails followed by a Paradigm Shift on the nails. Page barely answered the 10-count yet again. Moxley asked Shafir for the key to the briefcase. Shafir was handcuffed to the timekeepers table by Prince Nana. This brought out Swerve Strickland, who knocked out both Young Bucks with the chain Hangman gave him at Collision. Swerve gave Hangman his chain back in a peace offering, and Hangman lynched Jon Moxley with the chain. Hangman hit a Buckshot Lariat onto the bed of nails. Hangman lynched Moxley again, who submitted to the biggest pop of the night. Hangman revealed the vintage AEW World Championship for a great moment.

Legendary announcer Jim Ross gives vital health update a month after revealing colon cancer diagnosis
Legendary professional wrestling commentator Jim Ross has shared that he is cancer free, a month after he revealed a colon cancer diagnosis. Ross spoke about his health on Wednesday, with the 73-year-old not sharing exactly when he was put into remission. Yet, the All Elite Wrestling commentator made it clear he does not want to stay stagnant for long. 'The cancer's gone, which I'm very happy to say,' Ross said on his podcast. The Oklahoman added he is feeling 'pretty damn good' and his goal is to 'get back to work' with his plan 'to be in Dallas for the big event'. Ross is referring to AEW's 'All In: Texas', one of the biggest shows of the professional wrestling year on July 12. Ross also gave a shoutout to AEW President Tony Khan during his cancer-free revelation. 'Tony Khan has been amazingly wonderful... He supported me wholeheartedly and I really do appreciate that. That's the way a boss should act,' Ross continued. Ross is best known for his long run as a play-by-play broadcaster with World Wrestling Entertainment. Ross' cancer diagnosis and remission comes a year after he was hospitalized for being 'short of breath' last May. He returned to AEW television shortly after his hospitalization for sit-down interviews with Bryan Danielson and Swerve Strickland ahead of their world championship match at Wembley Stadium in front of over 50,000 fans. Ross was at 'All In: London' last year on commentary for the main-event bout, where Danielson won the AEW World Championship, two months before his retirement as a full-time wrestler. Ross has worked for a major American professional wrestling company consecutively since 1974, right after he graduated from college. The diagnosis did add to the health problems Ross has had in recent years. He had an eye operation in 2018 and had successful cancer surgery earlier this year. Ross was originally diagnosed with skin cancer in October 2021 but said he was in remission by the end of the year.
