AEW All In Texas: The Opps Hold Onto Trios Titles as Chaos Leaves Samoa Joe Injured

AEW All In Texas Delivers Shocks, Triumphs, and a Scary Scene for Samoa Joe

When fans packed into the Texas venue for AEW All In, nobody expected the night’s big talking point to be an ambulance ride. The Opps—Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Katsuyori Shibata—walked in as the AEW World Trios Champions, and after a wild showdown, they managed to walk out with the gold. But it wasn’t smooth sailing. A vicious post-match assault on Samoa Joe stole the spotlight, leaving fans anxious about his fate.

The Trios Titles were on the line against the Death Riders, who rolled out with Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, and recent ally Gabe Kidd. Jon Moxley’s absence meant Kidd’s spotlight grew, but the replacement couldn’t shift the result. The Opps, showing the muscle and teamwork that’s made people pay attention all year, fought through the wild brawling and close calls. Shibata’s stiff elbows, Hobbs’ pure power, and Joe’s ring IQ proved just enough. But the real drama came after the ref’s three-count.

Frustrated and furious, Castagnoli and Yuta didn’t let defeat slide. Alongside Kidd, they launched a sudden, unruly attack. Joe, battered from the match itself, took the brunt—a series of unwelcome chair shots and stomps that ended with the AEW medical crew rushing in. When medics wheeled Joe out on a stretcher, the usually rowdy Texas crowd stood in uneasy silence. With questions swirling about Joe’s health and how long he’ll be out, the landscape of the Trios division suddenly looks very unstable.

MJF, Dustin Rhodes, and Toni Storm Steal the Show in High-Stakes Bouts

All In wasn’t just about the gold around The Opps’ waists. The Men’s Casino Battle Royal drew eyes and bets from across the wrestling world, and MJF—never far from controversy—outlasted the chaos to snatch victory. This win puts him back into AEW’s orbit for bigger storylines and likely another title chase soon.

The vacant AEW TNT Championship found a new home after a furious four-way battle. Dustin Rhodes, a Texas fan favorite, delivered in front of friends and family. He edged out Daniel Garcia, Kyle Fletcher, and Sammy Guevara, reminding everybody of his grit and ring smarts. The moment was both redemption and a new chapter for the veteran, who looked genuinely moved by the crowd’s reaction.

Meanwhile, the women’s division had its own fireworks. Toni Storm put her AEW Women’s World Championship on the line against Mercedes Mone, and it wasn’t easy. The match brewed with tension, but Storm survived the storm, pinning Mone after a back-and-forth that got pretty personal. Toni’s win cements her as the division’s anchor, but with Mercedes now in the AEW mix, the future feels anything but settled.

Fans also got a crowd-pleaser as Swerve Strickland teamed up with Will Ospreay to topple The Young Bucks. The surprise pairing clicked instantly, and the Bucks, usually dominant, were left stunned by their loss.

AEW All In: Texas lived up to its name with big matches, wild stunts, and that unwanted reminder that danger is never far away in pro wrestling. The Opps kept their titles—now they have to pick up the pieces.
