Every AEW All In main event ranked from worst to best
Watch AEW All In live on DAZN - Sunday
Before it became AEW's biggest annual event, All In was the show that helped make the promotion possible.
The original All In in 2018, promoted independently by Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks alongside Ring of Honor, proved there was an appetite for an alternative major wrestling promotion. Its success paved the way for the launch of All Elite Wrestling just a few months later, and after Tony Khan acquired the rights to the event in 2022, All In returned as AEW's flagship pay-per-view in 2023. Today, it is the company's equivalent of WrestleMania – the biggest show of the year and the stage where careers are defined.
With AEW All In 2026 fast approaching this Sunday, now feels like the perfect time to look back at every AEW All In main event and rank them from worst to best.
3. Jon Moxley vs Hangman Adam Page – Texas Death Match (AEW All In: Texas 2025)
AEW
Finishing third on this list is far from a criticism.
Jon Moxley and Hangman Adam Page had spent months building one of AEW's most bitter rivalries, making a Texas Death Match the only fitting way to settle their differences. What followed was exactly what fans expected: a violent, bloody war that pushed both men to their limits.
The match deserves enormous credit for embracing the stipulation and delivering a memorable conclusion to the feud. Every chair shot, every table spot and every dramatic near fall reinforced just how personal the rivalry had become.
However, it lacks what elevates the two London main events above it.
Moving All In away from Wembley inevitably changed the feel of AEW's biggest show. While the match itself delivered, it never quite captured the sense of occasion that came with headlining in front of more than 80,000 fans at the national stadium.
An excellent main event, but not AEW's greatest.
2. MJF vs Adam Cole (AEW All In London 2023)
There may never have been a more pressurised match in AEW history.
After selling out Wembley Stadium for the company's UK debut, AEW entrusted MJF and Adam Cole with closing the biggest event the promotion had ever staged.
Their unlikely friendship had become one of wrestling's hottest storylines, and rather than abandoning what made it successful, the pair leaned into the emotional side of the story. Every tease of betrayal had the Wembley crowd hanging on every movement.
Was it the greatest technical wrestling match ever? Probably not.
But it didn't need to be.
This was sports entertainment in the very best sense of the phrase, combining character work, storytelling and crowd investment to deliver a fitting ending to a genuinely historic night for AEW.
Without this main event succeeding, AEW's Wembley experiment may never have become an annual tradition.
1. Bryan Danielson vs Swerve Strickland (AEW All In London 2024)
(AEW)
There was only ever going to be one winner.
Bryan Danielson entered Wembley knowing defeat would effectively bring his full-time career to an end, while Swerve Strickland had established himself as one of the most compelling AEW World Champions in company history.
The stakes alone made it must-see viewing.
The match somehow exceeded those enormous expectations.
Danielson and Strickland blended world-class wrestling with emotional storytelling, producing a contest where every near fall felt believable and every sequence carried genuine significance. The Wembley crowd elevated the atmosphere even further, creating one of the loudest and most emotionally charged environments AEW has ever experienced.
When Danielson finally had his hand raised, it felt like more than just another title change.
It was one of the defining moments in AEW history.
Every future All In main event will inevitably be judged against this match, and for now, none have managed to surpass it.
