Time cut in AEW All-In title match

Time cut in AEW All-In title match

One of the more unusual matches at All Elite Wrestling’s All In pay-per-view was the semi-main event between Jack Perry and Darby Allin in a Coffin Match. Despite it being Darby’s signature match, he was pretty much beaten down by the TNT Champion as Perry largely beat him down at Wembley Stadium before tying Darby’s hands and feet together, putting him in a body bag and placing him in the coffin for the win.

Many fans at Wembley Stadium had expected the match to go on for longer and were surprised by Perry’s victory. Bryan Alvarez has since noted to Wrestling Observer Radio that more time was originally going to be devoted to the semi-main event, but due to the 10pm BST curfew, several minutes were cut.

“Well, part of the problem with this game is that the game was cut by several minutes because, as mentioned, the show had to be over by 10 o’clock. [pm]. And so they went out there, and I was really amazed that it took 10 minutes, because it felt like five. They came out and immediately made glass spots,” Alvarez said.

The match included a debriefing as Sting made his first AEW appearance since his retirement, stopping the Young Bucks and Jack Perry from setting Darby Allin on fire.
