“Hangman” Adam Page galloped into all Elite Wrestling’s All in: Texas Pay-Per-View on Sunday with a thing on his SIND-AEW World Championship.
Page needed to do everything and all to defeat Jon Moxley for the title when the two competed in a Texas Death Match. He also had to hope that there were enough people on his side to help ward off any interference from Moxley’s death riders fraction.

Early in the match was violence in the menu. Page Busted Moxley Open as he knife stabbed him in the head with a fork several times. But Moxley had a bucket with his own tricks. He introduced glass in the ring and would pull Pages body through it at one point during the match.
Texas Death Match guaranteed that page and Moxley’s fight would be a bloody affair. The carnage that foreign bodies could cause was only the tip of the iceberg. Moxley hit a pilgrimage on side in the middle of the ring while Page returned with a scary movement of his own, powerbombing Moxley’s spine on two chairs.
The match took a VRI when Marina Shafir got involved and tried to avert Page’s Momentum. “Hangman” then put Shafir through a table. Gabe Kidd, Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta got involved in the fight to try to help Moxley, but to no avail.
Page received some support from Will Ospray, who joins Swerve Strickland, to defeat the young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) and strip them from their executive vice president titles. Kidd, Castagnoli and Yuta took out Ospray and then smashed his head between a chair.
Back in the ring, Moxley took control. He hit Page with a death rider on a chair. But Moxley still couldn’t hold the page down for the 10 count. As Death Riders tried to get more involved, Page had another person in his corner – a recurring Bryan Danielson.
Danielson came into the ring masked before he fell Yuta. Arlington, Texas, Crowd went Berserk. High over the stadium, Darby Allin fell into the match and hit a coffin on the death riders and helped them escape from the ring.
Side hit a buckshot Lariat on Moxley, but still couldn’t get him down.

Cue up the young bucks. Jackson’s came into the ring and then hit with a double superkick. Still, Page shouldn’t be spoken out. On the outside of the ring, Strickland came down with a chain and knocked out Matthew and Nicholas Jackson.

Strickland then looked at the fiery eyes on the side. Out of all the two had been through in their intense rivalry over the years, would Strickland help his nemesis?
In fact, he would.
Strickland threw the chain into the ring aside. “Hangman” then used it to attack Moxley.
Side then got moxley on the apron and tightened the chain around his neck. Moxley, with nowhere to go and no one to save him, had to tap out.

Page won the AEW World Cup for the second time in his career. He took the title out of the briefcase where Moxley had it since his victory over Danielson months ago.
It’s unclear what will happen to Moxley and Death Riders now. Page is going to embark on a new journey as a master.
But earlier in the day, a new practitioner appeared up to the AEW World Cup.
Men’s casino gauntlet
Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) was told by his manager MVP to work smarter, not harder. He did just that on Aew all in: Texas, and it turned out to be the strategy he needed all the time.
MJF took himself out of the most danger, offered his time and capitalized. Mark Briscoe thought he had put together the perfect step on Roderick Strong, but as soon as he was going to the front, MJF mixed him and threw him out of the ring. MJF then fastened strongly to win.
Anthony Bowens, Bandido, Brody King, Josh Alexander, a recurring Juice Robinson, Konosuke Takeshita, Kota Ibushi, Max Caster, Mistico, Ricochet and Beast Mortos also competed in the match.
MJF has been a new world champion before.
