Fight Preview

May is from London and what better way for her to continue her momentous first year in AEW than by challenging her mentor for the top prize in the women's division in her hometown?

There is plenty of time for issues to return to the surface between the two and for Storm to find herself on the receiving end of a challenge she may not see coming.

Dr. Britt Baker DMD returned from injury to call out Mercedes Moné for the TBS Championship at All In. Mercedes told Baker to get to the back of the line. AEW might make Baker put in some work in the ring to earn the shot, but it’s clear that she will wrestle Mercedes to find out who is the face of the women’s division.

The Elite hold a lot of gold. The Acclaimed won an eliminator match against the Young Bucks, so Max Caster and Anthony Bowens will get to call their shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championship. Kazuchika Okada carries the AEW Continental Championship, and Jack Perry has the TNT Championship in his possession. With the Elite versus Team AEW in Blood & Guts on July 24, it would makes sense if challengers emerge from that match. 

Mark Briscoe is the only official member of Team AEW at the moment, so he could be on the radar for a shot. Since Briscoe is the reigning ROH world champion, I think he would be more likely to get paired with Okada. That leaves Perry open for possibly a fellow Pillar, such as Darby Allin or Sammy Guevara.

Will Ospreay and MJF are on a collision course for the AEW International Championship. MJF feels betrayed by the fans, so he has vowed to destroy everything that they love. Ospreay is next on the list.

The AEW World Trios Championship has three teams in the picture. The Bang Bang Gang currently hold the gold. Christian Cage is leading the Patriarchy to win those belts as a present for his sons. The House of Black earned a shot by beating three-quarters of the trios champions, but Buddy Matthews was injured by Christian. This triangle should sort itself out on the road to All In.

Ever since Chris Jericho won the FTW Championship, it feels like Hook will eventually have the last laugh of revenge. Doing that fight in the UK would be fitting For The World.

That makes nine bouts for All In. Tony Khan loves packing PPV lineups to the brim, so here are some other ideas to fill out the card based on current storylines.
