All In (2023) (also known as All In London) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view show made by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). It was held on August 27, 2023 at Wembley Stadium in London, England.[1] It was AEW's first PPV held outside of North America.
It is is the successor to the All In event that was held in 2018. It is the first All In event held by since the original was held by an independent company.
It was the first professional wrestling event held at Wembley since the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) held SummerSlam at the original stadium in 1992.[2]
With 81,035 people, All In beat WrestleMania 32 to become the highest paid attendance for a professional wrestling event. It is third in attendance behind World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW)'s collaborative event Collision in Korea.[3]
The main event saw MJF defeat Adam Cole and retain 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.[4]
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 that involved three other AEW performers—Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, and Nick Jackson (the latter two collectively known as The Young Bucks).[5]
