AEW’s historic debut in the United Kingdom on August 27th marked a momentous occasion in wrestling history. All In drew a staggering crowd of over 80,000 fans to the iconic Wembley Stadium, solidifying its status as one of the grandest wrestling spectacles ever.
While much of the post-event chatter has centered around the physical clash between CM Punk and Jack Perry, it’s the in-ring action that truly stole the spotlight that night. The opening match of the pre-show witnessed a whirlwind day for Adam Cole and MJF, as they formed an unlikely tag team to secure the ROH World Tag Team Titles. Later in the evening, they faced off for the AEW World Championship in the main event, their friendship enduring despite the palpable tension, even as MJF retained AEW’s most prestigious prize.
