AEW ALL OUT REVIEW - 07/09



Welcome everyone to All Out. We have eight matches and some serious hatred fuelled feuds to enjoy. So lets kick things off with our opening match.


 

Match One MJF VS DANIEL GARCIA

Garcia jumps MJF from behind as he enters. Garcia tries to use a piledriver, but MJF pushes him into a corner to stop him. Garcia hits a dropkick, but MJF responds with a neckbreaker. Elbow to the rear of the head, hammer toss into the corner. A back suplex and cravate hold follow Garcia's throat-first drop across the ropes. Support DDT from MJF simply gets a 2 as MJF keeps on focusing on the head.

They fall over the top rope and spill to the floor as MJF looks for a brainbuster, but Garcia knees him in the head. Garcia returns to the ring at 9 after running the risk of being counted out. Danny knocks MJF down after the two men exchange blows and rise to their feet. Yet again wind and Yell from Garcia, and once more! Garcia attempts to use a piledriver once more, but MJF escapes.



Garcia attempts a hurracanrana, but MJF hits him in the knee with a powerbomb! 1, 2, no. In the hope of opening Garcia up again, MJF bites his head. Garcia was hit with elbow shots, and it's clear that he's bleeding again. MJF moves to the corner with the intention of paralyzing Garcia once more. He joins Garcia on the top rope and searches for the tombstone there with him! But Garcia rakes the nose and claps his boots together. DDT diving by Garcia! As the two men recover on the canvas, Garcia's face is a bloody mess.



Garcia once more positions MJF as a piledriver, but he is unable to raise him. MJF sends a mule kick into the corner, and he responds with the Panama Sunrise! 1, 2, NO! Garcia is getting ready while ignoring MJF's kicks. Garcia is whipped into a frenzy when MJF spits in his face. However, a thumb to the eye cuts off that! Garcia provided Brainbuster with an inside package for two. Right hand by MJF brings the two men down once more. Rollups are traded, and Garcia is hit by a German, but Garcia rolls through and hits a German of his own, which is followed by a huge clothesline.



MJF drops Garcia and transforms him into a Boston Crab, yet Garcia figures out how to transform it into a LeBell Lock. MJF counters that into a crossface! Garcia figures out how to roll and secure in a Sharpshooter. MJF tries to grab the ropes, but Garcia drags him back to the middle of the mat. MJF with the Good and honest! The arm is grapevined by MJF, who also retracts the second arm. Garcia is pretzled yet some way or another figures out how to get a foot on the ropes to drive the break. Garcia lands flat on the mat, acting like an opossum, as MJF repositions for the Panama Sunrise. No, jacknife, 1, 2. The front chancery is locked in by Garcia's massive slaps; the arm is about to fall, but Garcia catches it because he wants to end this his own way. Piledriver, jump! 1, 2, NOOO! Garcia throws MJF into the corner, sits him on the top and heads up there with him. Piledriver off the top? To get out, MJF bites his ear. MJF pulls the referee in front of him, hits Garcia with low blows while the referee is not looking, and scores 1, 2, and 3.


Here is your Winner: MJF

 

This match genuinely made you believe these two guys hate each other. The constant attempt at the piledriver added to this one. These two men are the future of professional wrestling for me and I expect these two to feud for a while on several occasions throughout their career.

 

 

Post-match, MJF extends the hand to shake with Garcia. Garcia shakes his hand! MJF goes for another low blow, but Garcia grabs the leg and gives him one of his own! He drags MJF to the corner, gets him back up on the ropes, spits in his face and delivers the PILEDRIVER OFF THE MIDDLE ROPE!

 

 

Match Two [AEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP] THE YOUNG BUCKS (C) VS CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI & WHEELER YUTA

Yuta and Nicholas kick this off for their respective teams. A body slam and senton from Yuta, giving us the first cover for 2. Castagnoli enters, and Nicholas' escalara brings down both BCC members. Matthew tags in after receiving a double shoulder block. Wishbone split on Matthew while the BCC used the 5 count with quick tags. They continue labeling in and out, conveying a large number of wishbones, and afterward a twofold wishbone as Nicholas reaches out. Nuclear drop and a Manhattan Drop proceeds with the attack on Matthew, yet he thumps Castagnoli off the cover, and the Bucks hit the 15%. On Yuta, double stomp across Matthew's knees.

Nicholas gives Yuta his own wishbone—a neckbreaker across the knee earns a 2. The Bucks earn a two thanks to Yuta's backbreaker and Nicholas' springboard leg drop. Nicholas' wheelkick knocks Yuta down, and the Bucks attempt to double team him, but Yuta takes them both on and and gets the tag to Claudio. Claudio keeps the train coming after hitting both Bucks with uppercuts in opposite corners. The Young Bucks are eventually defeated by the double clothesline. Castagnoli hits a few uppercuts against the railings on his way to the floor, rolls Matthew back in, and hits a crossbody off the top for two. Castagnoli attempts the Swing. Matthew, however, dodges him with a superkick to the legs. Yuta throws Nicholas across the ropes into Matthew's outstretched arm after Claudio shifts the position. Yuta seatbelt, 1, 2, no. Claudio gets sent over the railings. Superkick to Yuta, but he gives Matthew a German for two. The Cattle Mutilation is fixed! In any case, Nicholas comes in to split it up with a senton atomico. They head to the apron, where Nicholas hurracanranas him to the ground after a pop-up from Claudio. Nicholas moonsaults to the outside with Wheelbarrow X-factor to eliminate Claudio in a classic Bucks position. Yuta's crucifix, 1, 2, no.



A springboard uppercut to Matthew, Claudio tags in! He tries to find the Giant Swing, but the Bucks roll through and hit the EVP trigger! 1, 2, Yuta breaks it. SUPERKICK PARTY has the Bucks kicking up their sneakers. EVP trigger once more, but Claudio lifts the knees by catching them! The Bucks get away from the lift, however Claudio with a twofold suplex to the two men. Self destruction jump from Yuta takes out Nicholas, and Castagnoli at last gets the Monster Swing on Matthew! 1, 2, NO. Yuta is tagged in by Castagnoli, but is hit with a superkick. He is staggered on the ropes, however Claudio comes in with a rising uppercut. Castagnoli uses a superplex to send Matthew over Yuta and onto the mat. After that, he tosses Yuta onto Matthew, but Matthew kicks him in the knees! Nicholas keeps down Claudio as Matthew grabs a rollup for the three.


Here is your Winners and STILL AEW World Tag Team Champions: The Young Bucks

 

 

 

The Bucks were back on form here, although it was the BCC who looked more impressive with some innovative spots. Claudio is a master at building up to high spots; he works so well in this sort of environment.

 

 

Match Three[AEW INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP] WILL OSPREAY (C) VS PAC

Pac attempts some snapmares, but Ospreay keeps springing to his feet. Hurracanrana attempt, same deal as Ospreay cartwheels and starts to look smug. Ospreay to the floor, Pac to the top, Sky Twister Press! Oh we’re not messing around here. Back in the ring, Ospreay sends Pac out and hits a Sky Twister Press of his own. Ricochet is watching intently backstage.


 

On the mat, both men kick away at each other, sit up and start slapping. They get to their feet and trade elbow shots and huge knife edge chops. Back to the floor, Pac whips Ospreay into the railings. Pac hoists Ospreay to the top rope, avalanche brainbuster! 1, 2, no.

 



They fight to the floor again, Ospreay with the springboard forearm from the guard rail takes out Pac. Sasuke Special wipes out Pac as he gets to his feet and Ospreay is firmly in control. Handspring corkscrew kick gets 2. Pac gets Ospreay back up on the ropes again, maybe looking for another brainbuster, but Ospreay avoids it. Moonsault by Pac but Ospreay CATCHES him!!

He’s still in this one! 1, 2, Ospreay rolls back and lifts him into the Styles Clash! The Hidden Blade is delivered once more as Ospreay finally gets the 1, 2, 3.

 

Here is your Winner and STILL AEW International Champion: Will Ospreay

 

There is no word in the English dictionary that can give this match the credit it deserves. It will take some going to top this match tonight.

 

 

Match Four [CHICAGO STREET FIGHT] WILLOW NIGHTINGALE VS KRIS STATLANDER

Statlander is in possession of a chair, but Willow strikes first. Kris is on the ground in the corner, 1, 2, no cannonball connects. Willow searches for a DVD on the apron; Stat tries a German countermove, but Willow clings to the ropes. Stat gives Willow a chairshot and then powerslams her through the announcement table! Willow nearly struck twice, so that was a hard bump. After assisting Statlander in removing a table, Stokely pushes Willow into the rails. To improve Willow's footing, she sets her on the table and removes the turnbuckle padding. Statlander with a flipping senton off the top, Willow dodges so Stat falls through the table, but JESUS the back of her foot still cracked Willow in the head!! .


 

Statlander gets up and is met with a POUNCE through the barricade! They are taking absolutely no prisoners. Both women head up the ramp now, and Willow floors Stat with a discus lariat. Stat suplexes Willow on the stage and shouts at Stokely to ‘get the stuff’. Stokely brings out a trashcan of goodies. A trashcan is driven into the spine of Willow, followed by a suplex, aimed at the trashcan but it slightly missed. Statlander has a barbed wire bat, swings and misses, but Willow has a bundle of lighttubes and smashes them over the head of Statlander!


 

They fight on the ramp again, Statlander takes a quick run up and SPEARS Willow off the stage through the production tables set up below. They work their way back to the ring, and body slams Willow, but Willow is back up for a body slam of her own. Willow has a chain wrapped around her fist and bashes Statlander in the face with it, before biting her in the forehead and licking the blood! German from Statlander and she grabs a bag, emptying thumbtacks on the canvas. Stat goes for the axe kick but falls…erm… crotch first onto the thumbtacks? Death Valley Driver onto the tacks, 1, 2, no. They head to the buckles, SPANISH FLY from Statlander off the top!! Statlander has the chain now, discus lariat with the chain, 1, 2, no.  Statlander cuffs Willow with one end of the chain, and then cuffs herself to the other end (although it takes a helluva long time). Spinebuster from Willow. They trade strikes while being chained to each other. Tombstone from Statlander! Stat wraps the chain around the throat and mouth of Willow and rears back, and the referee calls for the bell.

 

Here is your Winner: Kris Statlander

 

 

These two women absolutely smashed this. This is perfect story telling from both women. No titles or anything on the line just two women that want to fight. I feel people will be more invested in this than the TBS title match.

 

 

Match Five [AEW CONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP FOUR WAY] KAZUCHIKA OKADA (C) VS ORANGE CASSIDY VS MARK BRISCOE VS KONOSUKE TAKESHITA

We start off with an Okada/Briscoe and Orange/Takeshita pairing, and Briscoe and Orange are quickly sent out, leaving us with Okada and Takeshita. Cassidy back in the ring, and he takes on both Takeshita and Okada with a double hurracanrana. Satellite DDT to Okada, 1, 2, no. Redneck Kung Fu from Briscoe to Okada, followed by a flying forearm. Takeshita and Briscoe trade running lariats in the corner, followed by some LOUD chops. Takeshita rakes the eyes, but Briscoe comes back with an enziguri.


 

Briscoe and OC face off as the Conglomeration implodes! But no, they come together to take out Okada, and then Takeshita. Stereo dives to take them out on the floor, and Briscoe hits the Cactus elbow off the apron, and OC does a sloth style elbow drop off the apron to Okada too. Back in the ring, Takeshita hits a suplex on OC, Briscoe does the same to Takeshita. Okada with a suplex to Briscoe, and then to Cassidy. Briscoe suplexes Okada, then Takeshita suplexes Briscoe as the suplex train continues chugging. Briscoe with one more to Takeshita, Okada with another to Briscoe, and Okada reverses one from OC to suplex him instead. They keep going with these suplexes, until OC counters with a stundog millionaire and then suplexes Takeshita.

 


Dropkick by Okada sends OC to the floor, and now Briscoe lifts Okada to the top and sends him outside too. Takeshita with a tope con hilo, and Briscoe sets up the chair for the assisted flipping senton. Now it’s Briscoe and OC in the ring, and they both go into a sloth-style strike exchange. They high five, and now we get a real strike exchange between them. Okada and Takeshita come in from behind and hit stereo German suplexes! And the crowd come to their feet as Okada and Takeshita face off. This smells like money. They trade forearms until Okada drops him with a dropkick. Rainmaker is countered into the Blue Thunder Bomb!! 1, 2, NO.

Here is your Winner and STILL AEW Contintental Champion: Kazuchika Okada

 

This match did what it needed to build up the Okada/Takeshita feud that we all want to see. This match delivered more than I expected but lets have a break now from Briscoe and Orange constantly being given these opportunities.

 


Match Six [AEW TBS CHAMPIONSHIP] MERCEDES MONE (C) VS HIKARU SHIDA

Mone grounds Shida and targets the knee in the early goings. Shida grabs hold of Mone on a dropkick attempt and applies a stretch muffler, but Mercedes crawls to the ropes. Low dropkick by Shida, and the challenger drapes Mone over the apron and hits a drive-by running knee. 1, 2, no. Back in the ring, a sunset bomb and the Meteora connects for Mone and gets her a 2. Haha Taz and Schiavone legit seem heated on commentary, they make me laugh so much. Double knees in the corner, and Mone locks in a rear chinlock. Shida gets draped over the middle ropes and Mone drops both knees to the midsection.

 


Shida shakes Mone off her back and nails a hurracanrana, following up with a knee strike to the back. They reverse each other’s hammer throws until Shida whips her face first into the middle buckle, and then delivers a top rope missile dropkick. Mounted punches in the corner, Shida runs the ropes and Mone catches her with an S-grip crossface out of nowhere. Shida reaches her leg back to touch the ropes. Shida in a show of agility gets back to her feet and hits a lariat to lay out both women. They work back to their feet, and Mone tells her to ‘bring it, bitch’. Shida does indeed bring it with a flurry of right hands. Knee strike connects, lungblower from Mone and a sunset flip powerbomb into the corner.

Kitana is caught, knee breaker by Mone followed by a dragon screw. Backstabber connects but Shida comes right back with a German suplex and a running knee for 2. KITANA connects flush, goes for another but Mone kicks out at 2 and rolls to the outside. She grabs the kendo stick, but Shida grabs the other end and pulls her into the ringpost. Shida brings the kendo stick into the ring, thinks about hitting her with it and hits the canvas in frustration. Mone tries to capitalize but can’t. Meteora from Shida misses, and Mone hits the Mone Maker. 1, 2, 3.

 

Here is your Winner and STILL AEW TBS Champion: Mercedes Mone

 

Obvious result here. Im really intrigued to see who takes this title off of Mone. I can see her having this title for a very long time unless Tony Khan can persuade Becky Lynch to join.


 

Match Seven [AEW WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP] BRYAN DANIELSON (C) VS JACK PERRY


The Scapegoat Van pulls up as Perry makes his way out, and he is accompanied by security to escort him down to ringside. Danielson gets the Final Countdown again.

 

Lockup, and it’s Perry who overpowers Danielson, shoving him to the mat. Perry even paintbrushes the back of Danielson’s head, and we see Dragon smirking at this, frustrated but slightly impressed. Arm drag from Perry, and he poses in front of Danielson, who lunges forward, forcing Perry to head to the floor to escape. Back in the ring, Danielson picks the leg to ground Perry and ties him up for the Romero special. Danielson reminds the ref that he has until 5. Surfboard applied, and he wrenches back on the chin of Perry before delivering some hard elbows to the side of the head.

 


Dragon thinks about kicking Perry’s head in, so Perry heads to the floor again. Basement dropkick connects, and Danielson hits the springboard dive to the floor! Old school Danielson at its finest. In the ring, Danielson stands on the top rope and hits the diving dropkick. Dragon goes to dive off the apron but Perry catches him with a thrust kick, and then delivers a hanging DDT from the apron to the floor. He sends Danielson into the barricade, takes a run up, and delivers a running dropkick. Cover, 1, 2, no. Perry gives Danielson a neckbreaker for another 2 count. They fire each other up with chops, but Perry goes to the eyes. He chops Danielson on the top buckle, but Dragon slips out and crotches Perry. Hammer and anvil elbows delivered while Perry is sitting on the top rope, and Danielson follows up with the big back suplex off the top!

 

Yes Kicks administered to Perry, but the roundhouse misses. Jackknife, Danielson bridges up. LeBell Lock. Looks for the Rings of Saturn, but Perry gets his foot on the ropes. Kicks and chops in the corner from the champion now, as Danielson delivers repeated right hands. Moonsault evasion in the corner, Perry has it scouted and goes for the Snare Trap. No, Perry with the Cattle Mutilation instead! Danielson works out of it, but the Dragon Suplex from Perry connects! Another Dragon Suplex! Perry pulls Danielson up on the apron and looks for a dragon suplex there too, but Danielson hooks his leg over the bottom rope to hold on. Danielson kicks the chest as Perry chops him. Danielson BUTTERFLY SUPLEXES Perry off the apron to the floor!


 

Danielson with a guillotine knee drop to the outstretched arm of Perry, and starts screaming at him ‘You wanna be tough?’ Yes Kicks, and the roundhouse connects this time. Busaiku Knee avoided, and Perry transitions into the Snare Trap. Comeback lariat from Perry, he gets Danielson on his shoulders but Danielson with a cradle for 2. Danielson is poised again, Busaiku Knee, but Perry pulls the referee into its path! Bryce Remsburg goes down. Danielson goes to kick Perry’s head in, but here come the Young Bucks to interfere. They grab Danielson and deliver the TK Driver! They pull him up and look for the EVP Trigger, but here comes Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta to run them off. Perry brings Bryce back to his feet, hits the running knee to Danielson, 1, 2, NO.

 


Now Perry looks to stomp Danielson’s head in. He delivers the boots to a chorus of ‘NO’ chants from the crowd, and now he gives his own Yes chant gesture with middle fingers. But Danielson meets him with a Busaiku Knee! They battle on their knees now, trading forearms. To their feet, Perry starts slapping Danielson in the face. The crowd tell him he’s fucked up. Big time slaps from Danielson now, kicks, Perry with a superkick. German suplex by Danielson, Perry avoids the impact and is up to his feet! But Danielson runs straight in for the Busaiku Knee! 1, 2, NO. Danielson kicks Perry’s f’n head in. Perry on his knees stretches his arms out as the scapegoat, as a final moment of defiance, before Danielson delivers one more Busaiku Knee to seal the deal. 1, 2, 3.

 

Here is your Winner and STILL AEW World Champion: Bryan Danielson

 

 

Killswitch appears behind Danielson and takes him out! Jurassic Express Reunion?! Christian Cage makes his way out and he has the contract for his title match from the Casino Gauntlet! But wait, Moxley has come from out of nowhere to stand in front of the ring in Christian’s path. Claudio, Pac and Yuta join Moxley as the BCC stand tall in front of the Patriarchy, and Cage thinks better of it, backing up the ramp.



Moxley hugs Danielson in the ring, kisses him on the forehead followed by an uppercut from Claudio. And now Mox has put a plastic bag over Danielsons head and is suffocating him. Pac attacks Yuta too, holding him back and making him watch! Moxley is suffocating Danielson while Yuta is forced to watch. Marina Shafir is here too, directing traffic.

 


This. Ending. Was. Incredible.


This new BCC can take all my money right now. I am here for it. This has created so many new stories. Well done AEW. Side note on this one though- slightly unpopular opinion maybe but Jack Perry is slowly becoming my favourite wrestler on AEW.


 


Match Eight [STEEL CAGE LIGHTS OUT MATCH] SWERVE STRICKLAND VS. HANGMAN PAGE


The cage begins to lower but Swerve doesn’t want to wait, and he dives straight at Page. They battle on the outside and Nana starts pulling out tables. Swerve and Page try to hold each other over the apron as the cage lowers so one of them gets decapitated! They both escape at the last second, and the bell rings as the cage is tied down. They take it in turns to try sending their opponent face first into the cage wall, but both put the brakes on. House Call connects from Swerve, and he looks for Big Pressure, but Page escapes and nails a release German suplex. Hangman goes over to a yellow box and pulls out a staple gun. He staples Swerve in the chest, who keeps smiling anyway. Swerve grabs it and staples Page in the back repeatedly, following up with a backbreaker. Swerve pulls the staples out of his own chest without flinching.

 


Swerve has a photo of his family, so he staples it to the chest of Page, and another to his cheek, and then rips it off! Page is pulled onto the top rope, and Swerve drives a chair into his head, then pulls him onto his shoulders and hits a Death Valley Driver into the cage wall. They balance on the ropes as Swerve bounces Page’s head off the cage, and Page crotches Swerve on the top rope. Springboard lariat connects, and Page spots some of the barbed wire. He wraps it around his arm and hits a barbed-wire assisted springboard lariat.

 

Swerve is tossed into the cage wall a few times, before Page wraps the barbed wire at face height around the chainlinks. He tries to run Swerve into it, but Swerve nails a comeback lariat instead. Oh but Page drives him into the barbed wire at a second attempt. That busts Swerve open pretty heavily, and Page doesn’t let up, raking Swerve’s forehead back and forth across the barbed wire. Big boot connects, and Page wants the Buckshot lariat, but can’t get it because the cage wall is in the way. Swerve gets launched into the cage instead, but Page realises his arsenal is hampered here.


 

Hangman with a chair shot to the gut, and one to the back. Referee Paul Turner stands on the chair to prevent Page from using it for some reason? Swerve capitalizes with a House Call! And hits his own Buckshot Lariat on Page. Chairshot to the back of Hangman! And again. Swerve lawndarts Page into a chair wedged between the buckles, and he bounces along the ropes on his way down, rough landing! Swerve pulls out a cinder block and plants it in the center of the ring. Page counters, looking for a Dead Eye. Swerve counters again…VERTEBREAKER ONTO THE CINDER BLOCK! 1, 2, no.

 

Swerve sets up a table as the We Want Fire chants begin. Hangman is draped over the table, but Page gets up and crotches Swerve on the top rope. He smacks the back of Swerve’s head into the corner of the cage…and Page is thinking Fallaway Slam?! No, Swerve fights out of it. SWERVE STOMP THROUGH THE TABLE!! 1, 2, NO.

 

Swerve goes for another House Call, but Page counters with a Dead Eye! 1, 2, no. Page pulls out a big splinter from Swerve’s burnt house. He tries to drive it like a stake into the face of Swerve, but Swerve fights it and gets a cross-armbreaker. He grabs the splinter and tries to hit Page with it…and spikes him in the head with it! Swerve cradles the piece of his house, goes to hit Page once more with it, but Page low blows him. POWERBOMB ONTO THE CINDER BLOCK. Damn he hit that flush! 1, 2, NO! That seems to be a legit cinder block, by the way.

 


Swerve manages to powerbomb Page into the cage wall…House Call connects, slamming Page’s face into the cage too! House Call again, 1, 2, Page kicks out. Swerve goes to the top rope, but looks up to the top of the cage and starts climbing. Page meets him on the top rope…powerbomb off the top! Page is back up somehow, real cowboy shit. Dead Eye, 1, 2, Swerve rolls his shoulder up. Page grabs a chair and says he told him to beg. He wants Swerve to beg for mercy. Page continues to deliver shots to the head with the edge of the chair. Swerve keeps getting back to his knees, and now he’s laughing! He gets to his feet, but collapses at Hangman’s feet. Page pulls out the grills from Swerve’s mouth, and then gets a syringe. Oh God. He pierces the cheek of Swerve and administers the hypodermic needle, in theory with Novacaine. UNPROTECTED CHAIRSHOT follows and the referee calls for the bell.


 

Here is your Winner: Hangman Adam Page

I have no words for what I just witnessed. That final chair shot was like cannon fire. Both these men left everything in that ring including a few years off of their careers. This feud is what has built this show and it delivered with extras. Well played to both men. Not sure where this goes from here but this one is not over for these two.

 

What a show this was. Say what you want about AEW but they know how to put on a show. This was incredible. Thanks for joining me guys. See you next week.
