Sunday’s All In 2024 event for AEW at Wembley Stadium in London, England featured Bryan Danielson defeating Swerve Strickland to become the new AEW World Champion.
This match was notable for the stipulation of Danielson putting his wrestling career on the line and would be forced to retire had he lost.
Following his victory, a bloody Danielson celebrated his newly won title with his family, PAC, and the Blackpool Combat Club’s Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta in the ring as the crowd sang “Final Countdown” to close out the show.
