Every match at AEW All In: Texas

The show promises big title matches and the first match of an iconic rivalry on U.S. soil.

ARLINGTON, Texas — The wait is almost over. This Saturday, the biggest All Elite Wrestling event to take place in the U.S. will happen at Globe Life Field in Arlington. 

All In: Texas promises one of the largest non-WWE pro wrestling shows to ever take place in North America, and with that comes some major matches. Here’s a look at everything we know is happening on the show so far.

Jon Moxley (c) vs. ‘Hangman’ Adam Page for the AEW World Championship

Moxley has held AEW’s top prize virtually hostage for close to a year now, holding onto it with, in many cases, a lot of help from the Death Riders, his stable of followers. This match presents the greatest risk for Moxley to lose that title, though. His opponent, Page, is on a hot streak, and has beaten Moxley on several previous occasions. 

Not to mention, this is a Texas Death Match. And this isn’t the first Texas Death Match between the two. Page previously beat Moxley at AEW Revolution in 2023, forcing him to tap out as he was being strangled with a chain hanging from the ring ropes. Page is an expert at the Texas Death Match at this point, having competed in the majority of them that have taken place in an AEW ring. No matter the winner, this match is sure to be a heated and bloody affair in the Texas Rangers’ stadium.

Kazuchika Okada vs. Kenny Omega for the AEW International and AEW Continental Championships

For many, this is the match to see on Saturday. People from all over the country are flying to Arlington just to see this match in person. Okada and Omega had an iconic rivalry in New Japan Pro Wrestling in 2017 and 2018, wrestling against each other in four singles matches during that period, with each one being regarded as one of the best matches of its year. The last match between the two, which Omega won, lasted for longer than an hour, and was regarded by some as one of the greatest matches of all time. Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer gave the match a rating of 7 stars, the highest rating he’s ever given a match. 

But since that match, the two haven’t crossed paths in a singles match again. So when the two met face to face late last year, with a sign for All In conspicuously in the background, many were excited at the prospect of seeing these two meet in the ring once again. This match will unify Omega’s International Championship with Okada’s Continental Championship, and will likely steal the show if it’s even close to the quality of the pair’s prior encounters.

‘Timeless’ Toni Storm (c) vs Mercedes Moné for the AEW Women’s World Championship

It’s been a big year for Moné, previously known as Sasha Banks in WWE, which has seen her collecting belts from all over the world. She’s been the AEW TBS Champion for more than a year now and has been undefeated in AEW since arriving in 2024. However, Storm has also been on fire for the last couple of years and is in the middle of a dominant title reign. 

Will Moné add yet another belt to her extensive collection, or will Storm become the first woman to topple her? 

Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay vs The Young Bucks

This is a match with big stakes, as no matter who wins, it will have big ramifications for the promotion at large. If the Young Bucks, Matt and Nick Jackson, lose, they will be stripped of their Executive Vice President titles they hold in AEW, which they’ve abused for more than a year now to their advantage. However, should Strickland and Ospreay lose, they will be unable to challenge for the AEW World Championship for the next year. Both have been prominently featured in the world title scene, with Strickland even having a lengthy reign with the belt last year. No matter who wins, AEW will see a big shakeup once the pinfall is made in this match.

Adam Cole (c) vs Kyle Fletcher for the AEW TNT Championship

Fletcher has seen an incredible rise since being taken under the wing of Don Callis. He’s wrestled in acclaimed matches on practically every AEW pay-per-view the past year. And this match serves as a chance for some redemption for Fletcher, as it was at All In in 2023, where Fletcher was defeated by Cole in a Ring of Honor Tag Team Championship match on the pre-show. Now, at the same pay-per-view, the two meet on the main show, and Fletcher has the potential to attain his first championship gold in AEW.

Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin (c) vs Kevin Knight and ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey vs Christian Cage and Nick Wayne

Lashley and Benjamin, as part of the Hurt Syndicate, have been unstoppable since arriving in AEW late last year, and look to continue that way for some time as they have dominated Knight and Bailey in recent weeks. But three-ways always complicate things, and they won’t even have to be involved in the pinfall to lose their gold in this match, either to Knight and Bailey, or to Cage and Wayne. 

Men’s and Women’s Casino Gauntlet Matches

Both matches, which will each see a double-digit number of participants competing, offer the winners a future title shot at the top prize of their division, either the AEW World Championship or the AEW Women’s World Championship. Not only that, but the winner will be able to cash in on their title match opportunity at any time. This gives the winner a massive advantage and means they could shake up the top title picture scene at any time.
