The show was the first All In event held by AEW and the successor to the All In event that was held in 2018 by an independent company. It also was the first professional wrestling event to take place at Wembley since the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) held SummerSlam at the original stadium in 1992.[4]
With 81,035 people, All In beat WrestleMania 32 to become the highest paid attendance for a professional wrestling event.[a]
The main event saw MJF defeat Adam Cole and keep his AEW World Championship. The match first ended after MJF and Cole hit each other with a double clothesline and landed on each other which the ref counted for 3. Cole and MJF demanded the match be restarted. MJF pinned Cole after a run in distraction from Roderick Strong.[5]
The event was also notable for a backstage fight between AEW performers CM Punk and Jack Perry (son of late actor Luke Perry) that led to Punk's firing several days later. The fight came nearly a year after Punk was involved in a similar incident involving three other AEW performers: Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, and Nick Jackson (the latter two collectively known as The Young Bucks).[6]
