• During the pre-show portion of the scrum, Saraya, Harley Cameron, and the Knight Family came out. Saraya responding to Jamie Hayter’s return to AEW on the Zero Hour pre-show that resulted in a brawl between Hayter and Saraya & Pals that ended with Hayter laying out everyone and standing tall in the ring. Saraya stated “I am so sick of it here. I’m sick of being treated like crap out there, I’m sick of being treated like crap right here. I am sick of it. How dare Jamie come down there and get in my face? Does she know who she’s messing with? Trying to embarrass me, in front of my family? This is a message to Jamie. You ever do that again, I’m gonna beat your f*cking ass. Don’t hear me? Don’t report it. Don’t say anything bad about me. I’m the f*cking star of the show. I’m Saraya, bitch, and this is my fucking house. One bad report, I’m sending every one of my men to your house, I don’t care if you’re a male or female, I don’t care if you’re a they/them. They’re gonna kick your ass.“
• During his portion of the scrum, Bryan Danielson gave his thoughts about his AEW World Championship victory at All In 2024 being the favorite moment of his entire wrestling career. Danielson stated “I feel pretty great. People ask me all the time what my favorite moment is in wrestling. I can never give them one answer because I’ve loved all of it. This is the first time [daughter Birdie] remembers seeing me wrestle live. This is the first time my son has seen me wrestle live. Without a doubt, that was my favorite moment in my entire career.“
• On the topic about the future of his in-ring career, Danielson stated that he has not thought about the future of his career past tonight and is not sure what is going to happen. Danielson stated that he will be at this Wednesday’s Dynamite show and he may have an announcement then.
• On the topic of if he wants to end his in-ring career at WrestleDream, Danielson stated that All In is his sole focus.
• On the topic of “Final Countdown” being associated with his wrestling career, Danielson stated that he originally picked the song as a joke. Danielson stated that he saw the song on a 100 Worst Songs of All time list and illegally downloaded it on Napster. Danielson also stated that he had no idea when he picked it years ago it would be playing in front of 50,000 people tonight.
• During her portion of the media scrum, Mariah May pulled a piece of paper out and stated that it was the eulogy of “Timeless” Toni Storm’s career. May stated “Toni Storm’s career is dead. Today, August 25, 2024 at 6:48 pm, Toni Storm’s career passed away in the middle of Wembley Stadium in a pile of blood, spit, and embarrassment. She died of natural causes, because I am naturally better than her in every way. She is survived by her bumbling, bored butler [Luther], Ben Mankiewicz, and anyone who cares about old movies because they cannot deal with their own pathetic realities. There will be no funeral service. A donation can be made in her name at ShopAEW.com/MariahMay. Toni, thanks for everything, you stupid, washed-up twat. May you rest in peace and rot in hell.“
• During her portion of the scrum, Mercedes Mone stated that the corgis that had accompanying in the royal carriage for her TBS Championship match were related to same corgis the late Queen Elizabeth owned as pets.
• On the topic of her recent divorce from her husband, an irritated Mone was seen bothered by the question and responded that the simple advice she could give to others in similar situations is to just follow your heart.
• During his portion of the scrum, HOOK stated that him coming out to his father Taz’s theme song for his entrance was his idea. HOOK stated “That was actually entirely my idea. It just came to me. I was trying to think of something and that’s what I thought of.“
• During his portion of the media scrum, Will Ospreay gave his thoughts about his interest in having a potential match with Ricochet following Ricochet’s debut at All In 2024. Ospreay stated “Man has got to work for it though. There is a long list of people that he’s going to have to beat before he can call out the International Champion. It’s been eight years since that Best of Super Juniors match and we’ve both gone in our separate directions. We’ve both done well. Now, he’s under this microscope. Maybe, just maybe, I called him out all those times to see if he’s got any bollocks. He’s shown up. I’d like to see what he’s going to be doing in AEW. I’m excited and I’m really happy for him.“
• On the topic of his Assassin’s Creed themed entrance for his AEW American Championship match at All In 2024, Ospreay stated that he is a big fan of the series and thanked the series developer Ubisoft for their involvement on his entrance. Ospreay joked that he was an actual assassin now and he would love to be added as DLC for an Assassin’s Creed game in the future.
• During his portion of the media scrum, Tony Khan gave his thoughts about the warm reception Big Bill received from the Cardiff crowd at this past week’s Collision tapings. Khan stated that this was something that can be leaned into for the future and brought up Bill’s current storyline role in Chris Jericho’s The Learning Tree group.
• On the topic of Daniel Garcia’s current AEW contract situation, Khan stated “I don’t want to necessarily comment on everybody’s contract length or status, but Daniel is here, and he’s a great part of AEW. We’ve been having great success. It’s been about three years with Daniel here. He started with us at Daily’s Place and was on that run of shows before we went back in front of crowds. He’s somebody who has been with us for a long time and is beloved by the fans and backstage. We love having Daniel here. Without saying exactly what’s going on, it’s a good sign that he was here. Really great to have him come and take that next step tonight. It was a great payoff to a lot of storytelling.“
• On the topic of AEW’s creative process, Khan stated that around 27 people are involved in AEW’s creative team and process. Khan compared the current structure to a football team and its coaches with a lot of people contributing ideas and everyone puts something in. Khan stated that at the end of the day, Khan stated that he is the one who has to decide and around half of them end up not being used for shows. Khan praised Jennifer Pepperman for her work with Mercedes Mone and others and RJ City for his involvement in the Mariah May vs. Toni Storm storyline due his knowledge of the classic All About Eve film. Khan also praised Jimmy Jacobs for his work backstage in AEW and stated that Jacobs gets “so much shit online” but he does not put in as many ideas for shows as people think he does.
• On the topic of AEW’s Collision shows of late and the backstage and locker room environment being better compared to a year ago, Khan stated “Last year, we had literally just launched Collision. I frankly think it’s an easier environment backstage at Collision than it was a year ago to do things. It’s a lot easier flow between the two shows than it was a year ago. I think the locker room is in a much better place than it was a year ago. As evidence by when we came up here vs what happened here a year ago. It’s a much easier job, I have dealing, because I had to deal with the people on Collision last year and it’s a much easier meeting process to put the TV together than it was a year ago. We were obviously dealing with a lot of things going into Wembley last year, which obviously showed up.“
• Khan also praised Sting and Bryan Danielson for being two of the most unselfish people in the wrestling business. Khan also stated that the first time he’s ever cried in pro wrestling was tonight during Danielson’s portion of the scrum with his daughter Birdie.
• On the topic of the future of Nigel McGuinness’ in-ring career following his surprise appearance in the Casino Gauntlet match, Khan stated that McGuinness will continue to do commentary on AEW Collision. Khan also brought up a story from his childhood about how he had booked McGuinness in a match against Bret Hart at Wembley Stadium in 2008, in reference to him being a big fan of Extreme Wrestling Revenge, and got to see McGuinness return to the ring become a reality tonight at All In.
