AEW ALL IN SCOOPS THREAD
Added 2024-08-25 15:40:55 +0000 UTCFightful Select has learned the following around today's AEW All In.
This will be updated throughout the day. PLEASE BE COGNIZANT OF THOSE WHO WISH TO AVOID SPOILERS
For those asking, Jon Moxley has not been a regular backstage at AEW since his break started.
We also interviewed Orange Cassidy among other talent at AEW All In.
Most in AEW were not aware that the AEW Forbidden Door in the UK reveal would happen ahead of the show, as it was expected by many to be announced at the show.
We're told that AEW All In London not happening next year was more related to scheduling than anything else. If WWE ends up running Wembley (which has not been confirmed in any way), it has nothing to do with that.
A number of UK indie wrestlers will be in attendance at the show and some are hoping to be used as extras.
For those looking to join our live discussion, connect to your Discord. We will have a number of scoops in the AEW thread when we don't have time to write the articles.
For those hoping for a last ditch possibility, Lucha Bros were not expected at this show.
As highlighted in recent weeks, Bryan Danielson did repeatedly push to never win a championship during his AEW run, much like Sting.
The card for AEW All In as far as number of matches was locked in a number of weeks ago, based on what AEW sources told Fightful. They did add a couple of tag matches to try to get everyone in town on the show.
Many were surprised by the insane reaction Big Bill got in the UK.
Though Thunder Rosa isn't booked, she was brought to the UK. Deonna Purrazzo did not make the trip over.
Swerve Strickland mentioned that he's renegotiating his contract. We're told this has been the case for a number of weeks, and he's still got a bit of time on his deal, but it became a priority for AEW.

As noted last night, Bryan Danielson was not cleared by AEW doctors to work Blood and Guts (corrected typo that said All In
There are multiple announcements set for today.
AEW Australia has been worked on for quite some time, with staff being sent over to scout locations.
Swerve's new contract is legit, and is something they've worked on for quite a while. He had time left on his deal
Though the ROH 10 man tag was announced late, it had been planned for a while
Claudio was busted open hardway on the top of his head during the opening match.
The opening intros happening before the show was done to help save time on the broadcast.
Death Triangle winning the trios titles was considered quite a while back, but didn't happen because of the Lucha Bros impending departure.
Mariah May's blood spot was planned.
Will Ospreay has been slated to have an entrance with a video game tie in
Grizzled Young Vets and AEW had been talking as of months ago. They were far apart on terms but came to an agreement eventually.
The spot in the match where medical checked on Bryan Danielson was planned.
Aja Kong was backstage.
ARENA NOTES from Corey Brennan
The Swerve signing was not shown in stadium.
The areas behind and around the stage are closed off.
Aubrey Edwards high fived and hugged the ringside staff on her way out.
The audio for many videos is not played in arena

RUMORS
There was word that MVP was supposed to be in town. We've not heard if he's planned for the show.
Okada was expected for the casino gauntlet, as of the last couple of weeks.
Michael Oku/Amira were not planned for the gauntlet, as last we heard.
It wasn't confirmed to us, but it was suggested that Matt Taven and Mike Bennett may not be included in the gauntlet match as originally announced, since they are now on Zero Hour. Evil Uno indicated he'd be doing both.
Please remember, don't spoil things for people who want to avoid them, ENGAGEMENT ACCOUNTS.
We've heard no discussion of Becky Lynch being at AEW All In
POSSIBLE SPOILERS:
Fightful's BetOnline locks are Bryan Danielson and Mariah May. Sources tell Fightful that Danielson is planned for additional appearances regardless.
There are multiple surprises that were planned for the Casino Gauntlet in recent weeks.
Sting was scheduled to travel to London this weekend. His son also posted publicly that he's there himself.
Saraya is expected on the show in some capacity, and has been tentatively planned for quite some time. We're told that the exact plans weren't solidified until recently. We've not been told if she's agreed to remain with the company.
Mark Briscoe and Kyle O'Reilly are the current biggest underdogs on the entire show. No surprise, as they've not been discussed to win the Casino Gauntlet, obviously.
AEW very intentionally wants the audience to feel like the gauntlet winner could cash in tonight
Comments
Incredible video and entrance.
Jason Konan
2024-08-26 00:30:56 +0000 UTCHappy to see AEW and the Grizzled Young Vets come to terms. Would love to see them take the belts from The Bucks so we can get more title defenses. Sign the MCMG and work to bring the tag division back to the greatness it once had.
Lynchman
2024-08-25 19:52:18 +0000 UTCHaving her come out during the Lds title match would have detracted from the match. This was sort of a nothing segment that both put Saraya to be on the show and showcase Jamie's return.

2024-08-25 19:17:41 +0000 UTCthat video game tie in was incredible, even went and got Roger Craig Smith to go and add his voice to it(voice of Ezio, main character in the series) he's gotta be flipping the heck out

2024-08-25 15:54:59 +0000 UTCWas Bryan not cleared to work blood and guts instead of all in? Report last night says blood and guts and cleared for all in.

Jake Sims
2024-08-25 15:52:18 +0000 UTCNo Becky Lynch right? I keep seeing people speculate that she's showing up.
