Full account
Will Ospreay retained the AEW World Championship against Jon Moxley at All Out, while Matt and Nick Jackson, the Young Bucks, won a three-way ladder match to become AEW Tag Team Champions for a record fourth time. The two title matches drew on different histories: Ospreay’s uneasy association with Moxley’s Death Riders, and a contest between three established tag teams with long experience of high-risk matches.
Ospreay had spent months training with the Death Riders before breaking away ahead of his championship match against Kenny Omega at All In. Although Moxley handed him a Union Jack before that match, their relationship had deteriorated by All Out. Ospreay burned a Death Riders flag before their bout. In the ring, Moxley slowed the pace and targeted the champion’s neck, including with a DDT from the top turnbuckle and a piledriver. Ospreay fought back, but interference by other Death Riders followed a Hidden Blade that might otherwise have settled the match. Andrade El Idolo, Mike Bailey and Alex Windsor came out to counter the group. Moxley then struck Ospreay with a briefcase, yet could not keep him down. Ospreay landed another Hidden Blade and pinned Moxley in his first successful title defence. The two shook hands afterwards. At the post-event media scrum, Ospreay called for a defence against Kazuchika Okada at Grand Slam France on 6 October; the report says Okada appeared to accept.
In the tag title match, champions Adam Copeland and Christian Cage faced the Young Bucks and FTR’s Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler. The ladder stipulation produced a series of falls onto ladders and tables. Harwood suplexed Copeland onto a ladder, while Nick Jackson later delivered a 450 splash onto Harwood as he lay on a table. Matt and Nick also leapt from a tall ladder onto opponents positioned on tables outside the ring. After surviving FTR’s Shatter Machine, the brothers climbed the ladder and retrieved the belts. Their victory ended Copeland and Cage’s 125-day reign and gave the Young Bucks more AEW tag title reigns than any other team.
The two supplied reports come from OutKick but cover separate matches. The Ospreay report concentrates on his shifting relationship with Moxley and the Death Riders, the interference during their match, and a possible next challenger. The tag title report gives more space to the ladder match’s major moves and the historical significance of the Young Bucks’ fourth reign. Neither report provides a settled account of what the new champions’ first defence will be: the tag report identifies Kevin Knight and Kyle Fletcher as apparent next opponents.
Where outlets differ
The reports do not present conflicting accounts of the results. They emphasise different title matches: Ospreay’s personal rivalry in one, and the Young Bucks’ ladder-match victory and AEW record in the other.
