AEW All In Announced for Wembley

Tony Khan, Nigel McGuinness, and Adam Cole made a historic announcement on tonight’s Dynamite revealing that All In will be coming to Wembley Stadium on August 27th, 2023. This announcement sent shockwaves through the wrestling world, as fans and wrestlers alike eagerly anticipate what promises to be a night to remember.

All In is the brainchild of Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks, who originally conceived of the event as a way to prove that non-WWE wrestling could draw big crowds and create memorable moments. The first All In event took place in Chicago in 2018 and was a massive success, drawing over 11,000 fans and earning rave reviews from fans and critics alike.

This will be the first All In event under the AEW banner. When Tony Khan purchased Ring of Honor he bought the rights to All In. This is a massive opportunity for AEW to grow their brand globally. Wembley Stadium holds a ton of people so there’s going to be room to fill.

Now, with the announcement of All In at Wembley Stadium, the event is set to become even bigger and more spectacular. Summerslam 1992 famously ran at the stadium and featured a tremendous main event between Bret “Hitman” Hart and The British bulldog. Wembley Stadium is one of the most iconic sporting venues in the world, having hosted events such as the 1966 World Cup final and the 2012 Olympic Games. The stadium has a capacity of over 90,000, making it one of the largest venues ever used for a wrestling event.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How t...

If John Cena Beats Cody Rhodes he Technically Becomes an 18-Time World Champion

John Cena won the Elimination Chamber on Saturday night and secured an Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania this April. What followed was a shocking heel turn that fans have wanted for years. That’s not what I’m talking about here. We’re talking about how John Cena will technically become an 18-time World Champion if he beats Cody Rhodes. That would put him two ahead of Ric Flair. Ever since Roman Reigns beat Brock Lesnar to unify the WWE Championship and the Universal Championship. From that point on, WWE recognized Roman as having two Championship reigns. With the Universal Championship and with the WWE Championship. Same with Cody Rhodes when he beat Reigns for the Undisputed Championship at last year’s WresteMania. If you look at WWE’s website it shows two concurrent reigns for Cody. If Cena beats Cody it’s always possible that WWE in the future recognizes this as one World Title reign instead of two. There’s a few of Flair’s reign...

Bobby Lashley Issues Warning to Jon Moxley

Bobby Lashley debuted in All Elite Wrestling on October 30th last year, rejoining his former WWE stablemates MVP and Shelton Benjamin, forming The Hurt Syndicate. Lashley and The Hurt Syndicate are one of the hottest acts in AEW right now with Lashley and Benjamin winning the World Tag Team Titles last month. It’s inevitable that Bobby Lashley will get a World Championship shot at some point. He’s very over right now and a legit main event talent. Lashley gave a warning to AEW World Champion Jon Moxley when speaking to the Sporting Tribune . Lashley said it’s only a matter of time till they face off but he’s focused on his tag team right now. Lashley said that when Jon Moxley sees him in the locker room, he stays clear of him. Despite being cheered like a babyface, Bobby Lashley is a heel and Jon Moxley is also a heel so I don’t see them facing off soon. But I like the idea of a Moxley/Lashley match whether it’s for the Title or not. Saying that, I’d also be a fan of Bo...
