Two of AEW’s original stars, Jon Moxley and “Hangman” Adam Page, will go to battle once more on Saturday, July 12, at All In Texas for the World Championship. This is AEW’s most significant event in promotion history in the United States. Over the last three years, All In has become the biggest event on their calendar. This year’s event will take place at the home of the Texas Rangers, Globe Life Field.

Below, I break down my predictions for Saturday’s AEW PPV.
Full Card Predictions
AEW World Championship Match
(C) Jon Moxley vs. “Hangman” Adam Page
Moxley is the most decorated AEW Champion of all time, with four reigns, and has held the title for nine months since defeating Bryan Danielson at WrestleDream in October 2024.
Page is a former AEW Champion and held the title from November 2021 until May 2022. However, since then, he has been up and down, and he has finally regained an opportunity for gold. Page would tie CM Punk as the only two-time AEW champion. Page submitted Moxley in a Texas Death Match at Revolution in 2023.
Over the last nine months, Moxley has formed a new group known as “The Deathriders.” He has been joined by Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli, Marina Shafir, and Pac. Although the group has faced significant pushback from the audience, in every title match, Moxley has done enough to retain his title.
With the Deathriders by his side, he seemed unbeatable, and it would take the best version of Hangman Page to pull off the victory. It seemed like Will Ospreay or Swerve Strickland would be the guy to take down Moxley, and although Page’s road back has been long, it has made him an even bigger star. It is time for “Hangman” Adam Page to once again be the AEW Champion.
Prediction: “Hangman” Adam Page ends Jon Moxley’s nine-month reign to become AEW World Champion.
AEW Women’s World Championship Match
(C) “Timeless” Toni Storm vs. Mercedes Mone
Storm is the most accomplished women’s champion. She is in her fourth reign and has been the champion since February. But she will face her most formidable challenger to date in Mone. Since Mone debuted for AEW in March 2024, it seemed like only a matter of time until she challenged for the AEW Women’s Championship.
AEW has had stars in the women’s division in the past, including Britt Baker, Saraya, and Mariah May, but none bigger than Mone. Before entering AEW, she became one of the greatest women’s stars in WWE history. Since entering the company, Mone has won the TBS Championship and the Owen Hart Cup. This will be Mone’s crowning achievement in AEW, and this match has the chance to be special.
Prediction: Mercedes Mone beats “Timeless” Toni Storm to win the AEW Women’s World Championship.
AEW TNT Championship Match
(C) Adam Cole vs. Kyle Fletcher
Adam Cole will face Kyle Fletcher in a rematch from a few months ago. This is a fantastic matchup between the incredible veteran Cole and one of the best rising stars, Fletcher. Since 2023, Fletcher, who is only 26, has been one of AEW’s top singles stars. His combination of strength, power, and charisma is rare for someone his age. Although Cole is one of the best veterans in AEW, this is a perfect moment at their biggest show of the year to have Fletcher win his first singles championship.
Prediction: “The Protostar” defeats Adam Cole to win the TNT Championship.
AEW World Tag Team Championship Match
(C) The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin) vs. JetSpeed (Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey) vs. The Patriarchy (Christian Cage & Nick Wayne)
The Hurt Syndicate won the tag team titles in January and have had a strong run as champions, continuing to gain strength. With the addition of MJF, it will take a lot for a team to beat Lashley and Benjamin. Although Lashley and Benjamin aren’t traditional tag team wrestlers, they have teamed for a long time and have great chemistry.
Speedball Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight started as competitors against one another, but since joining forces, they have been on fire. Cage has led the Patriarchy, but it seems like his contentious relationship with Wayne could hinder their success. Lashley and Benjamin are too powerful for JetSpeed and The Patriarchy, and it looks like their reign is just getting started.
Prediction: The Hurt Syndicate retains the AEW World Tag Team Championship.
AEW Unified Championship Match
(International Champion) Kenny Omega vs. (Continental Champion) Kazuchika Okada
Omega has been a part of AEW since day one and has achieved everything there is to in the company. He is a former AEW World Champion, Trios Champion, and Tag Team Champion. Currently, Omega is the International Champion and is facing his biggest rival in his storied career, Okada. This is the fifth singles match between the two, and the first since June 2018, marking the first time it has taken place in AEW. Omega holds a 2-1 record against Okada in singles competition.
In April, Okada and Omega were opposite each other in a six-man tag team match on AEW Dynamite. Since Okada officially joined the AEW roster in March 2024, another chapter of Omega vs. Okada seemed destined. This is one of the greatest rivalries in professional wrestling and very well could be the best match on this All In card.
The Rainmaker vs. The Best Bout Machine at All In, one more time. Okada has been dominant since joining AEW, but this is Omega’s moment. Omega is a day-one guy for AEW, and with his career nearing an end, he deserves another milestone before he calls it quits. Before, Omega was the outsider entering New Japan Pro Wrestling, but now the roles are reversed for their fifth matchup.
Prediction: Kenny Omega becomes the first AEW Unified Champion.
Tag Team Match
The Young Bucks vs. Swerve Strickland & Will Ospreay
The Young Bucks have been feuding with Strickland and Ospreay for months, and it finally comes to a head at All In. Although championship gold isn’t on the line, there are big stakes attached to this match. If the Young Bucks win, Strickland and Ospreay can’t challenge for the AEW World Championship for one year. But if Ospreay and Strickland win, then the Bucks will no longer be EVPs for AEW.
This is an interesting stipulation for the match because it will impact the company’s future. Ospreay has been on an incredible run since joining the AEW roster and has been close to winning the title multiple times. Strickland is also one of AEW’s top stars, and this stipulation puts their backs against the wall.
With a ton of matches involving the Bucks, interference is common, as it is unlikely a clean finish will occur in this one. With Ospreay’s star continuing to grow, it would be surprising if he weren’t in the title picture for one year.
Prediction: Strickland & Ospreay defeat The Young Bucks.
Men’s Casino Gauntlet Match
Mark Briscoe vs. MJF vs. Mistico vs. Bandido vs. Ricochet vs. Brody King
Since MJF lost his AEW World Championship in December 2023, he has yet to reestablish himself as a contender. But after being sidelined due to injuries, he has now reinvented himself once again as a member of the Hurt Syndicate and is poised to get his title back.
The first step of becoming a two-time champion is to earn an opportunity, which can be done in the Casino Gauntlet Match. Although it isn’t known who else will be in the match, it would be surprising if one of AEW’s homegrown stars didn’t win this match. This is the sixth men’s Casino Gauntlet Match in AEW history.
This match may end at any time when a pinfall or submission occurs, regardless of the number of participants who have entered the competition. There have been many returns and debuts in this match in the past, and more will likely happen on Saturday.
Prediction: MJF wins the Casino Gauntlet Match and earns a future AEW World Championship opportunity.
Women’s Casino Gauntlet Match
Kris Statlander vs. Megan Bayne
Only two women have been announced for this match so far. Athena is likely to appear in this match, as she is the current Women’s Ring of Honor Champion and has been an active star on AEW TV. With Athena receiving a bigger push on AEW TV lately, it makes perfect sense for the longest-reigning ROH Champion to inch closer to an AEW title opportunity.
Prediction: Athena wins the Women’s Casino Gauntlet Match.
Tag Team Match
FTR vs. The Outrunners
This rivalry has been brewing for weeks as FTR beat the Outrunners in a hard-hitting match on Collision in early July. It was surprising that FTR wasn’t added to the Tag Team Championship match since they have been on a great run since turning on Adam Copeland. Although the Outrunners have been entertaining and fan favorites recently, FTR is one of the best tag teams in the world, and I don’t see them losing at the biggest event of the year.
Prediction: FTR defeats The Outrunners.
AEW World Trios Championship
(C) The Opps (Katsuyori Shibata, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Samoa Joe) vs. Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, and Gabe Kidd)
The Opps and the Death Riders have been feuding for a long time, and they will go to battle once again at All In. A few months ago, the Opps had a slow start, but they improved over time. Since I already have three title changes on this card, I’m going with the Opps in this match to retain their championship. Joe and Hobbs have created one of the most powerful duos, and it would be nice to see their reign continue.
Prediction: The Opps retain the AEW World Trios Championship vs. the Death Riders.
