Once again, AEW is set to defy expectations and prove critics wrong with AEW All In Texas. We’re not just talking about the attendance and gate record for non-WWE wrestling events in North America. We’re also at another creative peak and poised for a new era in AEW.
A new Feeling is being confirmed with the potential imminent end of Jon Moxley and the Death Rider’s divisive hold on AEW.
A feeling that’s also fuelled elsewhere on the card. The potential outcome of the stipulation attached to The Young Bucks vs. Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland will impact AEW’s ecosystem and storytelling for at least the next twelve months.
So many possibilities. Peak Feeling. Timeless” Toni Storm vs. Mercedes Mone looks to elevate women’s wrestling once again. Check out Corey Michael’s Match Point guide here for a closer study.
They say everything is bigger in Texas. Let’s see if everything feels bigger in Texas.

Two Casino Gauntlets
Seeking to replicate the magic of last year’s All In Casino Gauntlet match, AEW offers both a men’s and women’s variation. Last year’s was my personal favourite, but I’m biased because I was there and crying at the return of Nigel McGuinness.
In both men’s and women’s, who might return? Who may debut? Some former WWE wrestlers, such as Elayna Black or Shayna Baszler? The return of Switchblade Jay White or other members of The Bang Bang Gang?
What mini dream matches will we get? What stories might be revisited, built up, and lead to subsequent contests at All Out, Forbidden Door, and beyond? Who’s next to challenge the world champions?
Texas Death
When Jon Moxley defeated Bryan Danielson at All Out for the AEW World Championship, it seemed like the groundwork was being laid to crown a very different wrestler to become the face of the company. However, plans change, and sometimes wrestlers insert themselves into conversations. Hangman Adam Page’s dark relapse into anxiety, insecurity, and rage made The Cowboy the main character of AEW. His arc of self-discovery mirrored the company’s journey back to creative stability.
Page, a man who could do nothing wrong in the eyes of the fan, gets the chance to redeem AEW and his prior AEW World Championship reign, bridging the gap between peaks. Page isn’t concerned with redemption for himself.
In this rematch with Moxley, including the Texas Death match, sets the deck in Page’s favour. Can he get the job done?
