AEW All In Texas 2025 Review.

Apologies.

I have to start this review of with an apology, because this was due to be out in the early hours of this morning. But given the fact that the show ran  for just over 6-hours, and I had an entire day ahead of me in my day job to do in a matter of hours after the show had finished, this made getting the review done in that time, an impossible task, so i've sat down at my chromebook, at 7.30 in the evening to write it. So sit back and enjoy.

Wheeler Yuta. Claudio Castagnoli And Gabe Kidd vs The Opps AEW Trios Championship.

This was a Match that was centred around having a solid base from the start, but that's it, the Match suffered from not having a lot substance, put if you isolate that, it did have moments like Hobbs cleaning out Wheeler Yuta. A narly looking triple suplex, to Yuta eating a Muscle buster from Joe for the retention. Claudio then crushed Joe's larix, with a steelchair in the aftermath. If i'm being honest this was way too long. This would be a thread that would run throughout the broadcast.

Mens Casino Gauntlet Match.

MJF won the Gauntlet Match, at first I thought that this would be quite predictable, but I've never been more happy to be wrong, because this was a thoroughly entertaining romp, that was well paced, that gave room for the intertwining storylines within the Match to have time to breathe. MJF and Mark Briscoe. Anthony Bowens, and. Max Castor. MJF, and. Mistico, and. Bandido, and. Konosuke Takeshista, all benefitted from this, and the return of a clean shaven Juice Robinson, getting back together with his former team,  The Gunns, just made for a sense of things getting back to normal. I liked this.

TNT Championship 4 Way.

This was a change to the scheduled Match, because Adam Cole was deamed as not medically cleared. Adam Cole came out, and said to the fans, that he's not going to be competing for the forseable future for health reasons, meaning that he's got to vacate the belt. This didn't feel like a standard relinquishing of the belt. I actually felt worried for Adam, but if he he's got to go away to take care of himself, then that should come above any wrestling Match. His Paragon Brothers Kyle O'reilly, and Roderick Strong walked him up the ramp, when he had a word with Daniel Garcia, as the 4 way got underway. Dustin Rhodes, beat. Sammy Guervara. Daniel Garcia, and. Kyle Fletcher, to become the new TNT Champion. I thought that this was a nice thing to do, given the fact that Dustin is from Texas, but it didn't change the fact that the fans were emotionally spent from the announcement that came beforehand. The Match was a standard affair, and that I couldn't get into 1st gear with. It's nothing against the Competitors. This just wasn't for me. The sight of Dustin celebrating with his family, was a nice scene.

Will Osperay And Swerve Strickland vs The Young Bucks.

This is my match of the year so far. From the entrances looking like a finely dreseed videogame, that had been curated by Stanley Kubrick, to Jojo Offerman singing Swerve out to the ring. A certain man who used to love to Catch fly's is looking down from heaven a proud man when this happened. We miss you Bray. This was a quick paced running blast of a Match, that was centred around the story of can Will and Swerve coexist, which became the overarching theme of the Match. The physicality gave room for the Match to breathe. Going into this I knew it would have a high ceiling. I didn't realise that these four man would smash right through it, and break my expectations, and create one of the best Tag Team Matches that I have ever seen. The exchanges were performed at a frantic pace, whilst the near falls added a sense of drama to the proceedings. Swerve and Osperay got the win, after they hit a hidden blade, and last call Combo, and therefore releasing The Young Bucks from their E.V.P duties. This was simply stunning.

Womens Casino Gauntlet Match.

I wasn't a fan of this Match. Look Don't get me wrong I like Athena, and she's a more than deserving winner. I just don't think that this suited her, because the fabric of this Match became unwoven very quickly. This Match had no substance to it. The ladies interferences from Anna Jay. Harley Cameron, and. Skye Blue, all fell flat. This fell below the standards that it had set for itself.

AEW Tag Team Championships. The Hurt Syndicate vs Jetspeed vs The Patriarchy.

This Match was a victim of its own circumstance. The build was poor, and unfortunately the Match followed that pattern. The Hurt Syndicate got the retention, and Christian Cage got battered by his own son in the aftermath, as FTR who were on commentary just watched on, as Momma Wayne started thinking, that this is better than a divorce. This caused Adam Copeland to return, to help his former friend, and tell him to find himself. The aftermath was ace, but the Match was sub standard.

Timeless Toni Storm vs Mercedes Mone AEW Womens Championship.

This was a superb reminder, that theatre, can mesh with cinema. Both ladies entrances played to this tune perfectly. The theatre was Mercedes Mone paying tribute to Eddie Guererro with her entrance, and. the cinema. Timeless Toni Storm becoming the star of her own movie, and. Luther doing his best Danny Larusso impersonation. This was a physical masterclass performed through the looking glass of two absolute pros. The minor breaths of insensity, gave this Match the room that it needed to grow. Toni retained after a fantastic series of exchanges between both ladies, that avalanche Storm zero looked sickening, but cool.

Kazuchika Okada vs Kenny Omega Unified AEW Championship.

This is what happens when legend gives way to light. I loved this, from Kenny's entrance, to both men having a stair down. It was a battle of the master of lofi, meeting the master of selling. Yes it came with the tropes of the standard North American route for Pro Wrestling booking, but is this something that is on the level of their previous four matches, well if i'm being honest no, but is this something that should be taught in wrestling schools on a global level. Yes. The ark of age has caught up with both men since the last time they faced each other seven years ago, and the struggling aspects that has surrounded Kenny's health made this encounter endearing, as Okada's arrogance grew. This led to him getting the win after a stunning chain of sequences. This is another Match of the year contender.

Jon Moxley vs Hangman Adam Page Texas Death Match AEW World Heavyweight Championship.

Some people have said a lot about this Match, some thought it was too violent, some said it was too bloody, and to that I say this. It needed to be, this wasn't just a cathartic end to a poorly received storyline, this was the end to two years of storytelling, that has taken all fans for a ride, for good and bad reasons, as the cameos from the likes of Will Osperay. Swerve Strickland and, Prince Nana. The return of Darby Allin, and the suprise that was Bryan Danielson popping up, added drama to this brutal drama in savage fashion, as The Deathriders could only watch on, after they were taken out. I was hooked as the weapon spots became more intense, and the violence led to one of the most satisfying finales in recent Pro wrestling history. Hangman Adam Page is our new AEW World Heavyweight Champion, and it's glorious. The sight of Hangman undoing the briefcase, and retrieving his prize, is something that I won't forget in a hurry. As the fireworks went off into the night, you can only wonder what is around the corner for Tony's little promotion that can?
