MEXICO CITY (Azat TV) – All Elite Wrestling (AEW) made a historic stop at the iconic Arena México for AEW Grand Slam: Mexico, broadcasting live on TBS and HBO Max. According to official AEW match reports, the event delivered high-stakes title implications, brutal physical encounters, and a shocking return that completely reshapes the landscape heading into the upcoming All In: London pay-per-view at Wembley Stadium.
Death Riders Secure a Controversial Opening Victory
The historic night began with an electric atmosphere as Adam Copeland made his first-ever entrance at the legendary Arena México to a deafening ovation. Teaming up with Christian Cage and the Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson), the star-studded coalition faced off against the formidable Death Riders, consisting of AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, and PAC.
The match was characterized by rapid-fire tags and high-flying offense, including a spectacular crossbody from Cage to the outside. A critical moment occurred when Marina Shafir interfered, pulling Copeland’s hair from the apron. Cage intervened, knocking Shafir down, which led to a chaotic sequence of near-falls. Despite Copeland hitting a spear on Moxley, Yuta distracted the referee, preventing a clear three-count. Seizing the opportunity, Moxley rolled up Copeland with a handful of tights to secure a controversial victory for the Death Riders.
Andrade Triumphs, Only to Be Brutalized by a Returning MJF
In a high-stakes three-way match, AEW National Champion Andrade El Ídolo defeated Komander and Tommaso Ciampa to secure the coveted #1 spot in the upcoming Casino Gauntlet match at All In: London. Playing to his home-country crowd, Andrade delivered a spectacular performance, finishing the match by pinning Komander after executing “The DM.”
Andrade’s post-match celebration was short-lived. As he declared his intention to bring the AEW World Championship home to Mexico, the music of MJF echoed through the arena. MJF blindsided Andrade, attacking him from behind with the Triple B championship belt. MJF reclaimed his Dynamite Diamond Ring, using it to inflict further damage on Andrade before throwing him off the entry ramp onto the concrete floor.
In a scathing promo delivered while medical personnel attended to Andrade, MJF declared himself the true world champion, blamed Will Ospreay for costing him his title at Beach Break, and announced his intention to enter the Casino Gauntlet at the #2 spot next week on Dynamite in Las Vegas. MJF vowed to win the contract at Wembley and reclaim his spot at the top of the promotion.
Nightingale Pins Moné as Women’s Tag Title Match is Set
The women’s division took center stage in a star-studded trios match. AEW Women’s World Champion Willow Nightingale teamed up with the Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) to face “The CEO” Mercedes Moné and the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions, Divine Dominion (Lena Kross and Megan Bayne).
The physical encounter saw heavy-hitting exchanges, including stereo cannonballs off the apron by Nightingale and Windsor. In the closing moments, Moné attempted her signature MoneMaker, but Nightingale countered, rolling up the champion to secure the pinfall victory. With this triumph, it was officially confirmed that the Brawling Birds will challenge Divine Dominion for the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship at All In: London.
Ospreay Survives Brutal Street Fight Main Event
The evening concluded with a chaotic and bloody Mexico City Street Fight between Will Ospreay and Mark Davis. The two competitors spared nothing, utilizing barbed wire, steel chairs, and a heavy rubber tire to inflict maximum damage. Ospreay ultimately outlasted Davis in a grueling encounter, securing a hard-fought victory.
Earlier in the night, AEW International Champion Kyle Fletcher successfully retained his title over “Speedball” Mike Bailey in a spectacular cruiserweight encounter. Fletcher drew heavy heat from the local crowd by stepping on a traditional lucha libre mask before the bell. While Fletcher’s victory brought joy to the Don Callis Family, the night remained highly volatile for all factions involved as the road to Wembley intensifies.
