The World is ALL IN on Pro Wrestling
AEW just had one of the best events of the year with All In. The event had many storylines and surprises that kept fans on the edge of their seats. Here's some of what we feel were the best moments of the annual show, which once again hailed from London's Wembley Stadium.
The biggest story of the night was the legendary Bryan Danielson putting his career on the line and then winning the AEW World Heavyweight Championship against Swerve Strickland in what will likely be a match of the year candidate. A bloody Bryan celebrated with his family to the adoration of thousands. Bryan Danielson can now say he's maybe had two of the biggest sentimental wins on the biggest stages of modern era.
Will Ospreay broke out the Tiger Driver '91 to defeat MJF for the AEW International Championship.
Mariah May defeated "Timeless" Toni Storm to win the AEW Women's World Championship. This match was heavily anticipated due to May's bloody heel turn against her mentor back in July.
Returns and Debuts
Jaime Hayter, who hadn't been seen in months due to injury, returned to confront Saraya at the begining of the event.
The Grizzled Young Veterans returned, staring down The Young Bucks, who retained their titles against FTR and The Acclaimed.
Former WWE superstar Ricochet made his AEW debut to a monstrous response during the Casino Gauntlet match. Another notable surprise from that same match included a returning Nigel McGusiness.
The Icon and recent retiree Sting returned to stop Jack Perry from burning Darby Allin alive in a coffin.
AEW was simply on fire all night (or day, depending on where you watched it).

WWE's up next in Germany
Not even a week later, WWE, who along with AEW is arguably spearheading a boom period, brings the hottest ticket in wrestling to German audiences with Bash in Berlin.
The event is headlined by 14-time champion Randy Orton facing off against current World Heavyweight Champion and hometown hero, Gunther. This match definitely has the ingredients of being the best match of the night. The two will be hellbent on putting on a match that surpasses their KOTR face off earlier in the summer; hopefully with no botches at the end too.
Other marquee matches lined up include "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes vs Kevin Owens for the Undisputed WWE Championship and CM Punk vs Drew McIntrye in a strap match.
The former World Heavyweight Champion and Judgment Day leader, Damian Priest, joins his other OG JD member and fellow "Terror Twin" Rhea Ripley in a revenge mixed tag match against Dominik Mysterio and Liv Morgan.
Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill look to regain the Women's Tag Team Championship from The Unholy Union.
Wrestling has been global for decades but we can confidently say this is on another level, with no signs of slowing down any time soon.
