AEW All In 2023 was broadcast on August 27th, 2023 from Wembley Stadium in London, United Kingdom.
This was AEW’s first ever show in the UK, and broke the record for the highest-attendance for a wrestling crowd in history (not counting the North Korea shows).
Over 80,000 fans attended the event, giving it a higher attendance than even the biggest WrestleMania event.
It is the second All In show in history, with the first in 2018 being a joint venture between The Elite (Cody Rhodes & The Young Bucks) and Ring of Honor.
This page will detail Dave Meltzer’s Star Ratings for AEW All In 2023 , looking at every match on the card. We will also detail the Cagematch rating for the event.
Cagematch is a website which aggregates fans opinions on wrestling match. Fans can log on and rank the matches on a scale of zero to ten, which then calculates an average score for the matches.
Great matches can expect a 9+ rating while the worst matches may not even be worth giving a rating to at all.
Only matches over 5 minutes may be rated on the website. This means fantastic, yet shorter matches like KENTA vs Ricky Marvin will not be given a rating but that does not mean they are bad bouts.
The highest rated match on the site is the Kazuchika Okada vs Kitsuyori Shibata match was NJPW Sakura Genesis 2017.
While many expected to see AEW bring a pay per view to the UK in 2023, nobody could expect that they would nearly sell-out Wembley Stadium for their debut in the country.

Zero Hour: MJF & Adam Cole vs Aussie Open (ROH World Tag Team Championships)
To prove their friendship before their clash in the main event of All In, Adam Cole and MJF teamed up together on the pre-show to take on ROH Tag Team Champions Aussie Open.
With the double clothesline and the Kangaroo Kick and their disposal, the team of Best Friends had a fantastic chance of taking home tag team gold, before they did battle in the main event later that night.
And they did! In a fun pre-show bout, MJF hit his Kangaroo Kick before the pair hit their double clothesline to pin Aussie Open and win the ROH Tag Team Championships.

They opened the show with the crowd firmly against CM Punk. He took huge punishment from Joe, but eventually put him away with a Pepsi Plunge (only the second time he’s hit it in AEW).
This was one of the matches of the night. An electric crowd loved seeing both men, and the ended left so many people in awe of the pain Samoa Joe took from the top rope.

Kenny Omega, Adam Page & Kota Ibushi vs Konosuke Takeshita, Jay White & Juice Robinson
While many were disappointed to see Kenny Omega not in singles action, they more than made up for it with an incredible trios match, featuring the world’s top wrestlers.
This match helped build a number of stories for the future, teasing singles matchs between Omega, Takeshita and Jay White, among others.
It also harkened back to the incredible main event of Wrestle Kingdom 15, where Kota Ibushi defeated Jay White in an all-time great match.
Despite the crowd being absolutely electric toward Omega, he suffered defeated when Konosuke Takeshita rolled him for the pin, just as he looked like he had the match in the bag.

AEW Tag Team Championships: FTR (c) vs Young Bucks
The FTR vs Young Bucks trilogy concluded at All In, when the two teams battle for the AEW Tag Team Championships.
FTR challenged the Bucks to a match at Wembley, following a win over Big Bill and Brian Cage on AEW Collision.
The Young Bucks accepted the challenge, and took to London for the biggest match of their career so far.
The match was incredible. It was the best of the trilogy in my view, building upon the previous matches with many callbacks.
Despite crowd chants of “Cash has got a gun”, FTR managed to pick up the win with a Shatter Machine to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships.

Building on the long-time build between the Best Friends and Blackpool Combat Club (while also adding the Lucha Bros into the mix), Wembley Stadium was treated to the third ever Stadium Stampede match.
Vias issues to Rey Fenix caused his absence from the match, but the returning Santana and Ortiz came to add star power to the Blackpool Combat Club’s side.
Appearances from Penta’s alter-ego, as well as Sue making a grand entrance, driving her minivan with a tray of cookies for her son and his friends, the match had a little something for everything.
It was also violent as hell, with blood, tacks and glass all involved. The finish came when Orange Cassidy dipped his first in glue and glass, hitting Moxley with the Orange Punch for the victory.

Serenaded to the ring by Queen’s “We Will Rock You”, Saraya was joined by the rest of her family in one of the most iconic entrances of all time.

Wembley Stadium played host to a first-of-its-kind match in AEW – a tag team coffin match.
Darby Allin teamed with Sting in the match, while Swerve Strickland had new recruit AR Fox on his side.

Chris Jericho vs Will Ospreay
In a match that was meant to take place at Wrestle Kingdom 15, Chris Jericho faced off against English Ace Will Ospreay, in a “forbidden door” match at All In.
After Don Callis turned on Jericho, he recruited Ospreay to beat down his long-time friend, leading to a match between the two.
With Jericho 22 years older than Ospreay, some fans were unsure if this was the best match, and is Jericho would be able to keep up with The Kingpin.
However, after an incredible entrance that saw Jericho take inspiration from Freddy Mercury, he had one of the best matches of his career.
He took hometown hero Will Ospreay to his limits, but ultimately fell to a storm breaker in a fantastic match.

AEW Championship: MJF (c) vs Adam Cole
The biggest story going into AEW All In 2023 at Wembley Stadium was the incredible tale of bromance between Adam Cole and AEW Champion MJF.
The pair began as enemies – wrestling to a time-limit draw on Dynamite – but soon grew to love each other as best friends.
This brought out a new side of both men, putting on some hilarious comedy skits that endeared the pair to the crowd.
However, that all went out the window for their championship match at All In. They wrestled a serious match, although toyed with the emotions of the crowd as they threatened to turn on each other throughout.
The pair originally drew the match with a double pin – however, MJF allowed the match, showing his growth as a person. He won the match with a roll-up, and the pair embraced as friends to end the show.
