The AEW All In: London Buy-In set the stage for the Wembley Stadium main card with five matches, including a major championship change and a huge surprise debut. 

Buy-In Results

Lio Rush & The Rascalz defeated The Opps

Rush, Dezmond Xavier, Myron Reed and Zachary Wentz won a fast-paced opener after Rush’s high-flying offense proved decisive. 

Kris Statlander & Harley Cameron defeated Sisters of Sin

Statlander and Cameron overcame Julia Hart and Skye Blue in a competitive women’s tag-team match. 

Boom & Doom & The Hurt Syndicate defeated Shane Taylor Promotions

Big Boom AJ, QT Marshall 

Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin scored the victory in the eight-man tag. The match also continued AEW’s entertaining Big Boom AJ/Costco Guy storyline.

Persephone defeated Maya World — NEW TBS CHAMPION

Persephone captured the AEW TBS Championship, defeating Maya World. The biggest post-match development came when Dr. Britt Baker returned and aligned herself with Persephone. 

Trios Roulette Royale — New Level wins

Swerve Strickland, Kofi and Austin Creed won the AEW World Trios Championship in a wild multi-team match. 

Kofi and Creed made their AEW debuts as New Level, making their arrival one of the biggest surprises of the entire event. 

Biggest Moment: New Level Arrives

The biggest shock of the Buy-In was the arrival of Kofi and Austin Creed, formerly WWE’s New Day members Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. They joined Swerve Strickland and immediately captured the AEW World Trios Championship.

That instantly gives AEW a major new trio and puts them into the center of the company’s tag-team scene. 

Britt Baker Returns

The Persephone–Maya World match produced another major surprise. Persephone won the TBS Championship, with Britt Baker revealed as the masked ally who helped her secure the victory. Baker’s return immediately created fresh possibilities for the women’s division.
