Adam Page wins bloody Texas Death Match to win AEW World Championship over Jon Moxley at All In: Texas
"Hangman" Adam Page galloped into All Elite Wrestling's All In: Texas pay-per-view on Sunday with one thing on his mind – the AEW World Championship. Page needed to do anything and everything to defeat Jon Moxley for the title as the two competed in a Texas Death Match. He also had to hope that there were enough people on his side to help thwart any interference from Moxley's Death Riders faction. Early in the match, violence was on the menu. Page busted Moxley open when he stabbed him in the head with a fork multiple times. But Moxley had a bucket of tricks of his own. He introduced glass in the ring and would drag Page's body through it at one point during the match. Texas Death Match guaranteed that Page and Moxley's fight would be a bloody affair. The carnage that foreign objects could bring was only the tip of the iceberg. Moxley hit a piledriver on Page in the middle of the ring while Page returned the favor with a scary move of his own, powerbombing Moxley's spine onto two chairs. The match took a twist when Marina Shafir got involved and tried to thwart Page's momentum. "Hangman" then put Shafir through a table. Gabe Kidd, Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta got involved in the match to try to help Moxley, but to no avail. Page received some support from Will Ospreay, who team up with Swerve Strickland, to defeat the Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) and strip them of their executive vice president titles. Kidd, Castagnoli and Yuta took out Ospreay and then smashed his head in between a chair. Back in the ring, Moxley took control. He hit Page with a Death Rider on a chair. But Moxley still couldn't keep Page down for the 10 count. As The Death Riders tried to get more involved, Page had another person in his corner – a returning Bryan Danielson. Danielson came into the ring masked before he dropped Yuta. The Arlington, Texas, crowd went berserk. High above the stadium, Darby Allin dropped into the match and hit a Coffin Drop on The Death Riders and helped them flee the ring. Page hit a Buckshot Lariat on Moxley but still couldn't get him down. Cue up the Young Bucks. The Jacksons came into the ring and hit Page with a double superkick. Still, Page wasn't going to be counted out. On the outside of the ring, Strickland came down with a chain and knocked out Matthew and Nicholas Jackson. Strickland then looked into the fiery eyes of Page. Out of all the two had been through in their intense rivalry over the years, would Strickland help out his nemesis? Indeed, he would. Strickland threw the chain into the ring for Page. "Hangman" then used it to attack Moxley. Page then got Moxley onto the apron and tightened the chain around his neck. Moxley, with nowhere to go and no one to save him, had to tap out. Page won the AEW World Championship for the second time in his career. He took the title out of the briefcase where Moxley had it since his victory over Danielson months ago. It's unclear what will happen with Moxley and The Death Riders now. Page will get to embark on a new journey as champion. But earlier in the day, a new contender emerged for the AEW World Championship. Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) was told by his manager MVP to work smarter, not harder. He did just that at AEW All In: Texas and it turned out it was the strategy he needed all along. MJF took himself out of most danger, bided his time and capitalized. Mark Briscoe thought he had put together the perfect move on Roderick Strong but as soon as he was going to go for the cover, MJF interfered and threw him out of the ring. MJF then pinned Strong to win. Anthony Bowens, Bandido, Brody King, Josh Alexander, a returning Juice Robinson, Konosuke Takeshita, Kota Ibushi, Max Caster, Mistico, Ricochet and The Beast Mortos also competed in the match. MJF has been an AEW world champion before. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

AEW All In Texas 2025 Results, Winners And Grades On July 12
Jon Moxley vs. Adam Page in a Texas Death Match. AEW All In Texas advertised AEW's biggest show of the year with seven of AEW infinite titles on the line. Toni Storm puts her AEW Women's World Championship on the line against Mercedes Mone. AEW International champion Kenny Omega faces AEW Continental champion Kazuchika Okada for the Unified Championship. Hangman Adam Page faces Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship. All three matches have promised death. This week's go-home broadcast of AEW Dynamite garnered 637,000 viewers. AEW Dynamite Ratings And Viewership AEW All In Results On July 12, 2025 AEW All In Ticket Sales AEW All In Highlights, Winners And Grades The Opps Def. The Deathriders The venue looked very good on television, and AEW did a good job hiding all the empty seats in a 40,000-seat building that only sold 25,000 tickets. Fans popped when Powerhouse Hobbs tagged in, chanting 'Meat!' Wheeler Yuta was chopped into oblivion by all three members of The Opps early on in the match. Because of the big building, there were long stretches of silence in between big spots. There was an awesome spot where Powerhouse Hobbs was on Claudio Castagnoli's shoulders, ready to take a Doomsday Device. Hobbs caught Yuta in midair and countered with a powerslam. There was a 'This is awesome' chant developing, but Claudio stepped on it with a big swing against a barricade. Hobbs trapped Yuta in a spinning Muscle Buster for the win. Very good opener. After the match, the Deathriders laid out The Opps, including a Pillmanizer to Samoa Joe's neck. Perhaps Hook comes back to take Samoa Joe's spot? MJF Wins Casino Gauntlet Battle Royal Fans chanted 'bald' when Ricochet hit the ring. Ricochet and MJF formed a temporary alliance. Fans popped for Mistico, but literally nobody sang his song. Texas is close to Mexico, but it ain't Mexico. Mistico and Briscoe locked in double Fujiwara armbars before the move was broken up. MVP, who appeared on commentary, briefly left the announce desk to coach up MJF. A clean-shaven Rock Hard Juice Robinson got a huge pop in his return. He went right for Ricochet. The Gates of Agony hit the ring and laid out Juice Robinson to help their new ally Ricochet. The Gunns made the save to even the odds. Max Caster walked over Anthony Bowens on his way to the ring, while doing his chant, but Bowens stopped Caster from getting into the ring. Caster took a knee from Roderick Strong for his troubles. MJF, who was picking his spots the entire match, vultured a pinfall from Marc Briscoe over Roderick Strong for the win. Dustin Rhodes Def. Daniel Garcia, Kyle Fletcher And Sammy Guevara Adam Cole, who had to forfeit the TNT Title due to injury, cut a very emotional promo where he teased retirement, but said he wasn't in the right head space to talk about that. After the promo, Cole was joined by his fellow Paragon members Roderick Strong and Kyle O'Reilly. Cole was interrupted by Daniel Garcia, who gave him a hug. By the end of this night, no less than three AEW wrestlers will be carrying multiple belts. Being a belt collector used to be a gimmick, but with all the belt inflation in AEW, it's the bare minimum. Kyle Fletcher and Daniel Garcia slapped each other while trapped in sharpshooters from Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara. A hot mic picked up Garcia calling Fletcher a p—y. Daniel Garcia interrupted a Natural Kick to give a Natural Kick of his own. Guevara followed suit with a natural Natural Kick. The Protostar's nether regions were in worse shape than his terrible nickname. After a miscommunication between Guevara and Rhodes, Garcia trapped Sammy in a Boston Crab. Kyle Fletcher got his revenge by hitting high boots in the corner on his adversaries. He ate a cutter from Guevara for his troubles. Dustin Rhodes rolled up Daniel Garcia for the win. He now has three belts. Just like Mercedes, just like the winner of Kenny Omega vs. Kazuchika Okada. Hilarious. The Young Bucks Def. Will Ospreay And Swerve Strickland Will Ospreay had a very well-produced entrance inspired by Assassins Creed. Swerve Strickland was played out by JoJo Offerman, who performed 'Ain't Nobody' by Chaka Khan. The Young Bucks received their standard entrance with much more pyro. The Young Bucks disappeared for a moment before reentering with a Founding Fathers-themed entrance. Similar to Anarchy in the Arena at AEW Double or Nothing. It was so long, and was more boring than it was funny. Fans booed after the decidedly long entrance ended. After a slow start to this match, Will Ospreay willed Globe Life Field into the match by hulking up. He was cut off by a boot from Nick Jackson as the Young Bucks regained control. The announcers played up the telepathic connection between the Young Bucks compared to the inexperienced tag team of Ospreay and Swerve. Both teams got Globe Life Field all the way back in the match with a Superkick Party followed by stereo Destroyers and a stereo House Call/Hidden Blade by Swerve and Ospreay. The babyfaces hit a stereo Styles Clash for a nearfall. The pair then hit a Swerve Stomp/Stormbreaker combo, but Matt Jackson made the save. The Young Bucks hit the TK Driver to Swerve on the outside, leaving Ospreay dead to rights. After More Bang for your Buck, Ospreay kicked out at a long two. After a dramatic sequence, Swerve saved Ospreay from an EVP Trigger. 'I thought he was dead,' said Tony Schiavone. Ospreay accidentally stuck Strickland with a Hidden Blade and ate an EVP Trigger for a great nearfall. Ospreay also kicked out of a TK Driver. The Young Bucks peppered Ospreay with super kicks, but Swerve stood in front of him—much like Ospreay did for Swerve in a similar situation weeks ago. The Young Bucks annihilated Swerve with Superkicks, but Swerve and Ospreay countered the EVP Trigger with a Hidden Blade from Ospreay while Swerve clinched the Young Bucks. Swerve and Ospreay hit a House Call/Hidden Blade combo for the win. Athena Wins The Women's Casino Gauntlet Match Willow Nightingale got a huge pop, and the camera cut to a heelish Statlander, who seemed none-too-pleased to see her former friend. After a flurry of offense from Willow, Statlander and Bayne hit a double chokeslam on Bayne. Tay Melo hit the ring and the match violently halted to a stop. Melo and Bayne messed up a La Mistica spot. Harley Cameron came out of nowhere and shoved Penelope Ford off the top rope. Cameron and Anna Jay chased off Penelope Ford. Nightingale hit a Dr. Bomb, but Statlander broke it up. Sky Blue accompanied Julia Hart to the ring, and though Sky Blue wasn't in the match, she was in the ring for half the match as if she was. It got to the point where the referee had to scream 'Get out!' Athena got a Texas-sized ovation from her hometown crowd. Athena was followed by fellow texan Thunder Rosa. There was a chain of tilt-a-whirl's. Willow Nightingale had the best tilt-a-whirl and it wasn't even close. Athena won with an O-Face on Mina Shirakawa as another Texas product went over. The Hurt Syndicate Def. The Patriarchy And Jetspeed Westside Gunn played the Hurt Syndicate out to the ring, and MVP even rapped his verse. FTR appeared on commentary, where they accused Jetspeed of stealing their dives and flips. Shelton Benjamin dumped Mike Bailey onto the field and fans exploded into chants of 'We hurt people!' There was a great spot where Shelton teased powerbombing Speedball from the top rope only to take a hurricanrana from Kevin Knight. Nick Wayne hit a dangerous-looking cutter on Mike Bailey where he landed spine-first on the apron. Knight followed up with a dropkick on Nick Wayne, who flipped from Speedball's shoulders onto the other tag teams. Bobby Lashley shoved FTR, and their attempt to get involved in the match backfired as they distracted Christian, who walked into a Bobby Lashley Spear. After the match, Nick Wayne turned on Christian with an Unprettier. Just as Wayne got ready to hit a Conchairto, Edge made a surprise appearance to save Christian. 'Go Find yourself,' said Cope to Christian. Mercedes Mone's Undefeated Streak Ends Vs. Toni Storm Texas Rangers cheerleaders did a choreographed dance during Mercedes Mone's entrance. Mercedes wore the names of all the women she beat for gold on her robe. It reminded me of when The Undertaker had caskets for all his victims at WrestleMania 30. The night they ended The Streak. Toni Storm walked out in a mime outfit. Fans were mostly behind Toni, but there were dueling 'Let's go Toni/CEO' chants. Luther and Toni teamed up for a spot where Toni sat on Luther's shoulders as she tossed Mercedes off the apron. 'Luther' chants ensued. Luther saved Toni Storm as he caught her when she fell off the apron. Mercedes hit a Meteora on Luther and fans booed loudly. Fans continued booing Mercedes as as she hit the Three Amigos suplexes. Toni Storm came roaring back, but Mercedes bit her way out of a submission. Toni Storm bit Mercedes back while Storm had Mone in a tombstone position, and we'll just leave it a that. Storm ate a MoneMaker but kicked out. I believe she was the first woman to ever kick out of that move. A bloodied Storm hit three consecutive Storm Zeros on Mercedes, only for Mercedes to kick out. Toni Storm kissed Mercedes on the mouth and hit a Storm Zero from the middle rope for the win. Kazuchika Okada Def. Kenny Omega By the time both long entrances and introductions were over, it was 4:30 p.m. PST. Omega's entrance featured a live performance of his weaker entrance theme 'Take Flight.' Omega was accompanied by Kota Ibushi. Fans exploded the second the bell rang and chanted 'AEW!' As expected, Okada worked over Kenny Omega's gut area early and often to exploit his diverticulitis. Omega sold his stomach throughout the match. Don Callis, who was on commentary, said it was a physiologically impossibility for Kenny Omega to recover from diverticulitis. Callis got a lot of heat for attacking Omega while Omega was near the desk. After getting the upper hand, Kenny Omega went after Don Callis, who immediately scampered. Callis returned once the action returned back to the ring. This match had real AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vibes from WrestleMania 34. Okada continued to bludgeon Omega's midsection as the match's pace remained slow. Omega battled back, and after a One Winged Angel, Don Callis pulled referee Bryce Remsburg out. Okada countered a second One Winged Angel attempt into a Rainmaker for a nearfall. Kazuchika hit another Rainmaker for the win. Hangman Adam Page Def. Jon Moxley A whistling woman whistled a cowboy-type performance. This brought out Hangman Adam Page, with his old theme music. Hangman Adam Page won the Texas Death Match over Jon Moxley by chain strangulation. Huge pop. Hangman received help from Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Darby Allin and Swerve Strickland. A helluva match. For more details about the Texas Death Match, click here.

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.

Tony Khan better not screw up AEW's most important booking decision of the year
All Elite Wrestling returns to pay-per-view today (July 12) with All In Texas. The show comes our way from Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. The free Zero Hour pre-show kicks things off starting at 1 pm ET on All Elite's YouTube channel and right here at Cageside Seats. That leads right into the PPV at 3 pm ET, which you can buy from Amazon, and YouTube in the United States, as well as on traditional PPV. Internationally, it may be available via those providers, or you can try Triller TV. Advertisement Tony Khan better not screw up AEW's most important booking decision of the year The main event of All In Texas is AEW World Champion Jon Moxley vs. Hangman Page in a Texas Death match. Hangman earned this title match by defeating Will Ospreay to win the Owen Hart tournament at Double or Nothing. Moxley has been the world champ since last October, which is around the same time that his Death Riders took over AEW. He put the belt in a briefcase for Marina Shafir to carry around, and we haven't seen the gold since. Hangman has been portrayed as AEW's main character, so it's only fitting that he's the man who will try to free the world title from that briefcase and hold it up for the world to see at AEW's biggest show of the year. A big part of the story here revolves around Hangman's relationship with Swerve Strickland. They recently sat down to try to let go of their complicated past, which includes home invasion and arson. Both men expressed regrets about their actions in a compelling scene, which Moxley called out as weak 'crybaby crap.' Jon says he won't have any regrets or apologies for the terrible things he does to Hangman during this Texas Death match. Advertisement There are no disqualifications in this kind of match, and the stage has been set for all kinds of interference. That may come in the form of Darby Allin, Will Ospreay, the Death Riders, Sting, and even Bryan Danielson. However, the key figure in all of this will be Swerve. Hangman left behind his chain in Swerve's locker room after their talk was over, and Swerve wrapped that chain around his fist while lost in thought. Will Strickland show up to actually help his hated rival win the AEW world title, or will he be there to fuck him over at the most critical time? That's one of the big questions that needs to be answered at All In Texas. Moxley's world title reign was something of a disaster in its first few months, with underwhelming finishes to his PPV matches, too much attempted murder via plastic bags and toxic chemicals, and poor storytelling as AEW's inept babyfaces couldn't get their shit together to pose a formidable threat to the Death Riders. But the tide has changed over the last few months as the story has focused on Hangman, Ospreay, Swerve, and the Young Bucks. After sitting through months of Moxley's reign of terror, AEW fans are ready for something incredible to happen at the end of All In Texas. With that in mind, Tony Khan has to make AEW's most important booking decision of the year at All In Texas, and he needs to make sure it's the right one. AEW finally has some good momentum going its way after a rough 2024, but that can change fast if today's main event leaves fans with another bad taste in their mouths courtesy of the Death Riders. Tune into All In Texas to see what choice Swerve Strickland makes in the main event, and if it's finally time to free the AEW world title from Jon Moxley's briefcase. Advertisement The rest of the card These remaining 11 matches and segments are also currently advertised for today at All In Texas: 'Timeless' Toni Storm (c) vs. Mercedes Mone for the AEW women's world championship Storm vs. Mone is the biggest women's match in AEW history. Toni is arguably the number one star in the company, with a special gimmick that is unlike anything else in pro wrestling. Mercedes is the undefeated TBS champion who has been busy collecting belts from around the world ever since she joined AEW in early 2024. Toni's goal is to rip Mercedes' tits off and prove that she just can't win the big one. Which women's star is truly the best in AEW? We'll find out at All In Texas. Advertisement AEW International Champion Kenny Omega vs. AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada in a winner-takes-all match for the AEW Unified Championship Omega and Okada bring their storied rivalry to AEW pay-per-view in a match where the winner walks out with three belts, because consolidating belts isn't a thing Tony Khan likes to do. Can Omega and Okada rekindle their old magic one more time at AEW's biggest event of the year? Okada joined up with Don Callis for this one and put Omega in the hospital by targeting his diverticulitis. That brought Kenny's golden lover Kota Ibushi back to AEW to fight on his behalf. Omega is out of the hospital now and ready to finally end Okada's reign as Continental champion, which is approaching 500 days in length. Is this a match where each star will kick out of the other's finishing move multiple times, or will one Rainmaker or One-Winged Angel be enough to score a three count? Will Ospreay & Swerve Strickland vs. Young Bucks This could very well be the match of the night just looking at how skilled all four men are, and you know this bout will get all the time it needs. The stakes are high, as Matthew and Nicholas Jackson will lose their status as EVPs of AEW if they don't win, while Ospreay and Swerve can't challenge for the world title for one full year if they don't win. Ospreay has already gone more than one year without challenging for the world title, but I'm not sure if he realizes that. It's worth noting that Jack Perry has been seen backstage at recent AEW tapings, so perhaps he's ready to return and help The Elite win. Advertisement The Bucks, Ospreay, and Swerve may all show up again later in the night to interfere in the main event. Does the outcome of this match affect the decision Swerve might have to make about helping his hated rival Hangman Page? Men's Casino Gauntlet match This might just be AEW's most entertaining gimmick match. Two wrestlers start the gauntlet, with new entrants joining the fray at irregular intervals. The match ends as soon as the first fall is scored, so there is no guarantee that some wrestlers will even make it into the ring if their number is too far down the list. Mark Briscoe and MJF are the first two entrants, and Mark is looking to whoop Max's ass after he recently tried to get heat by bringing up his dead brother Jay. CMLL's top star Mistico is also in the mix, and he has a score to settle with MJF as well. Some other wrestlers who will be ready to join this match include Ricochet, Bandido, and Brody King. Keep your eye out for surprise entrants like Darby Allin, Keith Lee, or Eddie Kingston. The winner of this match earns a world title match whenever he wants it. Advertisement Women's Casino Gauntlet match This is the only women's match at All In Texas besides Toni vs. Mercedes, so pretty much everyone else on the AEW women's roster might show up here if the match goes long enough. Kris Statlander and Megan Bayne kick off the action as the first two entrants. Some of the other wrestlers who have been featured in the build up include Thekla, Queen Aminata, Willow Nightingale, Athena, Thunder Rosa, Tay Melo, Anna Jay, Julia Hart, and Mina Shirakawa. Is there any chance that missing stars like Britt Baker or Hikaru Shida make their surprise return in this one? Just like with the men, the winner earns a world title match at any time of her choosing. Hurt Syndicate (c) vs. JetSpeed vs. The Patriarchy for the AEW world tag team championship Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin steamroll through most of their challengers without much trouble, but they walk into this title defense banged up after Christian Cage repeatedly smashed Bob's knee in with a chair on Dynamite. The idea is to create some doubt about the outcome of this match, but I'd say MVP's group is still the overwhelming favorite to retain the gold. Advertisement The Opps vs. Death Riders & Gabe Kidd for the AEW world trios championship PAC is out of action with an injury, so Gabe Kidd is joining up Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta as they try to win back the trios titles from Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Katsuyori Shibata. Is HOOK ready to return to AEW and play a role in the finish of this title match? Adam Cole (c) vs. Kyle Fletcher for the TNT championship I don't blame anyone who has a hard time remembering that Adam Cole is the current TNT champion. Meanwhile, the Don Callis Family is still trying to recruit former champ Daniel Garcia to turn his back on Paragon and join up with them. Kyle Fletcher might not need any help to win this match given he already has a PPV win over Will Ospreay. Advertisement The Outrunners vs. FTR (pre-show) FTR and The Outrunners used to work out and train together, but that was before Big Stoke entered the picture. Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler have since turned on Adam Copeland and now try to spike piledrive anybody who has a bad thing to say about them. They already picked up a win over Turbo Floyd and Truth Magnum earlier this month on Collision. However, the rematch was made official after Dax took the fall in one of AEW's never-ending series of All-Star 8-man tag team matches. Big Boom AJ & The Conglomeration vs. Don Callis Family (pre-show) AEW is Where The Best Wrestle, so the Costco Guy is back for another match. This time he's teaming up with Hologram, Kyle O'Reilly, and Tomohiro Ishii to take on Lance Archer, Trent Beretta, Rocky Romero, and Hechicero. Hologram remains undefeated nearly one year after his AEW debut, so you already know which team is going over. Advertisement The Sons of Texas vs. Shane Taylor Promotions (pre-show) You can't run the biggest show of the year in Texas without including the Von Erichs and Dustin Rhodes, right? Shane Taylor Promotions lose nearly every match they have on AEW programming, and it sure looks like they are here to do the job as well. Summary The top four matches at All In Texas carry most of the intrigue and could deliver some of the best wrestling matches of the year. The booking decisions on Hangman vs. Moxley, Mercedes vs. Toni Storm, and the Young Bucks vs. Ospreay & Swerve will go a long way towards shaping AEW's creative direction for the rest of 2025. Can Tony Khan keep AEW's positive momentum going by nailing the booking on his biggest show of the year? Advertisement What will you be looking for at All In Texas? More from

AEW All In: Texas Set to Rock Arlington Tonight with Historic Card
Rana Atef AEW's biggest event of the year, All In: Texas, goes down tonight at Globe Life Field in front of what's expected to be one of the largest crowds in AEW history inside the US. With a card stacked from top to bottom and major stipulations on the line, the show promises to be a game-changer for the promotion heading into the second half of 2025. The main event features Jon Moxley defending the AEW World Championship against "Hangman" Adam Page in a brutal Texas Death Match. Page, fresh off his victory in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, has built serious momentum, while Moxley enters as the defending champion with a reputation for thriving in violent environments. The personal animosity between these two and the no-rules stipulation could make this one of the most chaotic and emotionally charged matches in AEW history. One of the most anticipated clashes is the Winner Takes All showdown between Kazuchika Okada and Kenny Omega, as they battle to unify the Continental and International Championships into the brand-new AEW Unified Championship. These two have a legendary rivalry, and tonight's chapter will be their first meeting in AEW since Omega's return to singles competition earlier this year. The stakes are higher than ever, with one man emerging as the definitive champion of AEW's global division. In the women's division, 'Timeless' Toni Storm defends her AEW Women's World Championship against debuting megastar Mercedes Moné. This dream match combines Storm's theatrical flair and unorthodox psychology with Moné's world-traveled technical precision. Their recent physical confrontations on Dynamite and social media barbs have set the tone for what could be the show-stealer of the night. Another major attraction is the high-stakes tag match between Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay and The Young Bucks. If Swerve and Ospreay lose, they'll be barred from challenging for the AEW World Title for one year. But if the Bucks lose, they must relinquish their Executive Vice President roles. With personal pride, corporate power, and future championship aspirations hanging in the balance, this match could redefine the company's leadership landscape. The card also features a Texas homecoming as The Sons of Texas—Dustin Rhodes, the Von Erichs, and Sammy Guevara—team up with Kevin Von Erich at ringside to battle Shane Taylor Promotions. It's expected to be a heartfelt match for the Texas crowd, blending nostalgia with fierce competitiveness. Fans can also look forward to the Casino Gauntlet matches for both the men's and women's divisions, with winners earning future AEW World Title shots. Surprises and debuts are likely, as these matches often serve as platforms for rising stars and unexpected returns.
