AEW has become all in its equivalent of Wrestlemania or Summerslam with about 55,000 fans who filled Wembley's stadium in London for another great AEW event.
Below my opinions of the results of All In 2024 held on Sunday afternoon.
Christian Cage, Nick Wayne & Killswitch vs Juice Robinson & The Gunns vs Malakai Black, Brody King & Buddy Matthews VS PAC, Claudio Asgnoli & Wheeler Ya – Lucha de Escaleras Tyulustulus títutututulus
Tickets for this fight occurred during the pre-show for some reason. Claudio was the first to bleed after a minor incident. The fight was intense, with multiple jumps and spectacular falls from the stairs. Pac, Claudio and Wheeler were crowned as the new champions of trios in good combat.
Toni Storm vs Mariah May – Fight for AEW's female title
Toni and Mariah began strong, as asked by the history of betrayal between them. Wembley's multitude was very lively, which surprised me. Mariah even slapped her own mother, which increased the combat tension. Mariah won the title after taking advantage of a Toni error, but I think it was not the time. Toni as a character is still above my opinion.
Chris Jericho vs Hook – Fight for title FTW
Fozzy played live for the entrance of Chris Jericho, while the FTW fight became chaos with constant interference. Hook won the title after submitting Jericho, and Taz got involved in action, causing great enthusiasm in the public. The fight was entertaining, but with too many interruptions. It's time for Jericho to take a free time and think what he will do because Learning Tree does not work.
The Young Bucks vs FTR vs the Acclaimed – Fight for AEW couples titles
The Bucks retained their titles in a solid struggle, but without memorable moments, it is as if they themselves have dropped on purpose despite being the champions. The biggest ovation was for The Acclaimed, although the crowd remained relatively calm for much of the fight.
Casino Gauntlet Match – Winner receives an opportunity for AEW's world title
Orange Cassidy and Kazuchika Okada began the fight, but the surprise was the entrance of Nigel McGuinness, back after more than a decade outside the ring. The typical chaos of these fighting was maintained with surprises like Ricochet debuting in AEW, which was good. Christian Cage (seriously) won with the help of Luchasaurus, disappointing the public and I expected more. A chaotic and entertaining combat to the end of the end. I don't know why Hangman did not win.

MJF vs Will Ospreay – Fight for the American/International Title of AEW
A tremendous combat full of reversions and cons, showing great technique of both fighters. Ospreay was crowned as a new champion and I hope that AEW does not continue with the relaxation of changing belts.
Mercedes Moné vs Dr. Britt Baker, DMD – Fight for AEW TBS title
Mercedes retained his title, but the public's reaction was warm. Britt did not look good. A correct combat, although without the enthusiasm of other clashes of the night.
Jack Perry vs Darby Allin – coffin for AEW's TNT title
Perry won a brief and violent fight against Darby, who went out with studs on his face. Although the action was intense, the duration of combat was disappointing. Of course, Sting's arrival was the best here.
Swerve Strickland vs Bryan Danielson – Fight for the World Title of Aew vs Carrera by Bryan Danielson
Although many doubted if it was too late for Danielson of the point of view of the story, he won in an epic and emotional struggle, overflowing with energy. With an audience delivered to one hundred, this fight won 5 stars and is a clear candidate for the fight of the year.

All in 2024 was good, but …
In general, there complied with expectations, offering a mixture of exciting fighting, surprises and iconic moments. In other words “they threw the house out the window.”
So why are they going down in rates and assists this year? If you look, AEW knew how to focus on to this point in recent weeks and should see how they can reinvent their weekly programming so that they do not “water” stars that will not have any kind of role in their events payments to see.
If they do it consistently in this way they have a chance to cut the gap in their competition with the WWE.
