Winners: Orange Cassidy, Penta, & Eddie Kingston
Rating: ***. Fun opener with a hot crowd and a ton of fan favorites in this one. The good guys build some momentum going into tomorrow’s Stadium Stampede.
Blackpool Combat Club and Proud & Powerful pop up on the big screen. Everyone runs down Kingston and say Kingston is the hypocrite, and it’s always everyone else’s fault but his. Kingston runs to the back and wants to find everyone, but they’re gone. Kingston says he appreciates Santana and Ortiz turning, but he’s going to gut them and leave them in the ring. Jon, get out of Eddie’s way. Yuta, Kingston is going to bury you. Claudio, you’re being saved for last, and you’re going to get burned.

Winners: The Dark Order
Rating: **3/4. Entertaining stuff here and the Dark-er Order are more aggressive and you can tell. Andretti and Martin are the perfect opponents in situations like this.
Match #3. Big Bill vs. Vary Morales
Dropkicks by Morales early but Bill catches him with a huge military press. Bill swings Morales by his hair before splashing him in the corner. Big boot by Bill. Chokeslam. Finito.

Willow goes back on the offense with a big boot and a spinebuster. Stack cover gets two. Renegade comes off the top rope with a missile dropkick that sends Willow to the outside. Renegade’s look for a double suplex but instead suplexes both women herself. Both women get back inside and Willow finishes this one with the Babe with the Powerbomb.
Winner: Willow Nightingale
Rating: *3/4. I’m here for anytime Willow wrestles and gets a win, but it feels like we’re seeing a heck of a lot of The Renegades on TV and I can’t help but wonder if there aren’t more women in the AEW locker room who could be in that position?
Match #5. Keith Lee vs. Zicky Dice
Double chop by Lee drops Dice. Dice lays some elbows in but gets POUNCED. Pop-up Spirit Bomb and this one is over!
Winner: Keith Lee
Rating: NR. But damn, it’s good to see Keith Lee coming back to being a beast.
LFI is ties up and getting their asses kicked in a warehouse. Preston Vance and Dralistico fight back and destroy four dudes in a violent, bloody fashion. Pretty cool Lucha Underground-esque segment here.
Samoa Joe is here and he’s heated after Punk jumped him last week. Joe said the powers that be have told him he can not get involved in tonight’s star-studded main event, but he will do commentary tonight.

Winners: CM Punk, Sting, Hook, & Darby Allin
Rating: ***1/2. Kind of a total mish mosh to lead us into All In with a lot of intrigue, and it did just that. Truly was an all-star main event, with each person having their own storylines. Lots of fun here and a good way to close out the show .
Joe hits the ring as soon as the bell sounds and goes right at Sting! Jack Perry is here and he’s attacking Hook. Hook lays into Perry with a kendo stick. Darby takes a chair to Swerve! Punk sends Joe into the guard rail as the referee’s come from the back and the brawl is spilling out everywhere!
Final Thoughts: Kind of a “meh” go home show for AEW, aside from the main event. I know this week is a little all of the place with travel and a bunch of shows to run, but this show underdelivered a bit. It’s nice to see Keith Lee looking like a beast again, the BCC/Best Friends and co. feud continue, and the main event of course. Also, let’s get some more Big Bill, eh? 6.5/10.
