00:00Hello there my very good friends. In this wrestling news video, has AEW's all-in main event been revealed?
00:05And has another all-in huge match been revealed too?
00:09Ronda Rousey says no to a full-time run with AEW.
00:12And did anyone buy Double or Nothing?
00:15Yes, of course they did. I'll tell you the buys in a bit.
00:17Yeah, a couple.
00:18Yeah, just a few.
00:18Five or six.
00:19I reckon you might be getting double figures here, you know?
00:21Maybe.
00:22Yeah.
00:22Anyway, I'm Adam Wilborn.
00:23I'm Andy H. Murray. H stands for Wolf Up.
00:26This is the after news.
00:27All right, we're going to kick this one off by talking about the all-in London main event.
00:32Ooh, I'm going to get myself in trouble with this one.
00:34This one has been a hot topic of conversation online this week.
00:38Stemming, I mean it was a hot topic of discussion previously anyway.
00:42But there was a backstage segment featuring, very early in the show, featuring two gentlemen who a lot of people
00:48really want to have a fight in London.
00:50And those people are Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay.
00:53So on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer basically said that everybody expects that to be the main event in AEW.
01:00They think that's going to be the match.
01:02And that would be Kenny Omega defending the AEW World Championship against Will Ospreay in Will Ospreay's home turf of
01:11England.
01:12This would mean that Omega would face MJF, presumably MJF, unless MJF loses it.
01:18Oh yeah, he's going to face Roush next week.
01:20And it's like the hottest potato.
01:21Oh my God, I'd be kind of up for that to be honest.
01:23I love Roush.
01:23Yeah, I love Roush.
01:24I'm a Roushman.
01:25I say Pouche-Rouche.
01:27I've been saying that for ages.
01:28But yeah, that would be at Redemption in Montreal, which is in July.
01:31So the title of that pay-per-view and the fact that it's in Canada does kind of, you know,
01:37foreshadow a few things.
01:38Ospreay would then win the Owen Hart tournament.
01:41Just get past my boy Mark Davis first.
01:43He does.
01:44So there you go.
01:46A fan like that in Forbidden Dorts?
01:47I believe so.
01:48Yeah.
01:48I believe so.
01:49So that would be the pathway to get to this match for All-in-London.
01:53They've obviously wrestled before, but not in Wembley Stadium.
01:57God, no.
01:57So, you know, it's a first-time Wembley match for sure, obviously.
02:03It's a big match.
02:04It's one a lot of people online won.
02:06Like, it's the match that a lot of people are really hungering for in that main event.
02:10And I suspect that we might be in the minority on this one.
02:16Yeah.
02:16I think I'm going to get it right.
02:18Let's caveat this first.
02:20So, first of all, Ospreay versus Omega will be incredible.
02:23We are not sat here saying,
02:26Kenny Omega versus Will Ospreay.
02:28No, thank you.
02:28It'll probably be like the best match of the year.
02:31I realize that as I say this, I come from a place of bias.
02:34As we all know, Maxwell Jacob Friedman is my best friend.
02:38Having said all that, I think it should be MJF Ospreay at Wembley.
02:43Me too.
02:43It's cleaner.
02:45It's meaner.
02:46It's meaner.
02:48It's very hot.
02:49It's not like, oh, no, no Omega.
02:51This match is going to be crap.
02:53We were there.
02:54I know they've done it before.
02:56So, that's the argument.
02:57Arguably more for Omega Ospreay, right?
02:59Yeah.
03:00Having said that,
03:02I was there for the last one two years ago,
03:04and it was mint.
03:05Yeah.
03:06So, it's not like, ugh,
03:07going to watch another class match again.
03:08Oh, yeah, I've experienced that with Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns,
03:10and it worked out pretty well the second time as well.
03:13So, I will say that.
03:15The other argument I would make here is,
03:17as we're going to get into a little bit later on,
03:20MJF's doing really well at the box office.
03:22Like, buys are up.
03:24I think ratings were high when he was world champion.
03:27I don't know how the ins and outs were of that sort of thing.
03:30The announcement of the hair stipulation was a huge ticket mover for Double or Nothing.
03:34And to, I think the rivalry's right there.
03:37I think the idea of, like, MJF dismissing Ospreay is like,
03:42you've never been a world champion.
03:43You've got no bloody chance.
03:44I'm a three-time champion.
03:46Right.
03:46So, you've got all that.
03:48Also, personally,
03:50and I know Will will be doing stuff as well,
03:52I think MJF in the media and the build-it-all-in
03:54will sell boatloads of tickets.
03:57Yeah.
03:58So...
03:58Get him on Good Morning Britain.
03:59Oh, gosh.
04:00Yeah.
04:00Get him doing that.
04:01There's that video series.
04:03I can't remember what channel does it
04:04where they get people to try British snacks.
04:05Yes.
04:06Imagine MJF.
04:07Might be like Lad Bible or whatever, yeah.
04:08MJF crucifying a freaking sausage roll.
04:11That'd be good stuff.
04:11If he doesn't do that,
04:12can we do that with him, please?
04:14Yeah, why not?
04:14I want to hear him bury a steak bake, you know?
04:17I want to hang out with Max when he's in London.
04:19He's your best friend, so...
04:20Yeah, I'm sure Will will make time for me.
04:22I think you'd do that anyway, every weekend.
04:23I think Will's making time for me in London.
04:25Yeah, I think he...
04:26For better reasons.
04:26He might kill you.
04:28So, I actually totally agree on every point.
04:31I think that Omega Osprey will...
04:33Look, it's been great before.
04:35It'll be great match.
04:36It will be an unbelievable match.
04:38I'm not saying...
04:38I'm arguing afterwards.
04:40You can have your cake and eat it too.
04:41You can have the MJF match and then have another big...
04:44Immediately after each other on the same show.
04:46That's what we're saying.
04:46Yeah, yeah.
04:47Like Drew and the Big Show at WrestleMania that year.
04:50That's what we're saying.
04:50That's what we're saying.
04:51Totally what we're saying.
04:52But yeah, my main kind of thing with it is that my most desired match for that show would
04:58be MJF and Osprey.
04:59Purely because I just like the face heel dynamic of that.
05:03Like, I really love that.
05:04It's the ultimate comeback story.
05:06Will was out for a year, pretty much.
05:09Very serious injuries.
05:10He fought his way back.
05:11He's had to, you know, claw back up the ladder.
05:14He's doing the storyline with the Deathriders and Jon Moxley, which I'm very much into.
05:18It's the comeback story.
05:19It's the home country.
05:22All of that, he's going to get an incredible reception, incredible pop.
05:26You cannot have a bigger babyface scenario all year than that, right?
05:30It's cleaner, isn't it?
05:32MJF is the biggest heel in the company.
05:35Best heel in the business in a lot of ways.
05:37He's the wrestler of the year in North America, I would say.
05:41And that is such a strong clash.
05:44I don't know if you will ever have a bigger good guy conquers the bad guy scenario than that.
05:54I feel like it's perfect.
05:56I feel like that is, like, a hundred out of a hundred choice.
06:01I feel like Kenny versus Will is a 99 out of a hundred.
06:04Yes, we are not saying this is going to be a bad alternative.
06:06It's still incredible.
06:08I really am into, like, superhero versus supervillain.
06:11Yes.
06:12And I feel like that.
06:13And I realise that fans are like, I don't care.
06:14Look, I just want to see a great match.
06:15I get that.
06:16We're just purely talking subjectively on what we feel about this.
06:20Also, I'll add to this, just to add some more fuel to that fire.
06:23Omega had his shot at the world title.
06:25He lost.
06:26And MJF kicked out of the one-winged angel.
06:27Case closed.
06:28I know it's called Redemption.
06:30I know it's in Canada.
06:31You had your shot, pal.
06:32Yeah.
06:32Back of the line.
06:33I know it's very Kingston.
06:34Redeemed these nuts.
06:35Yeah.
06:37So what, Andy, would MJF be doing at All In?
06:40We'll find that out after we've got to tell you about a fantastic deal.
06:43Tremendous deal from our very good friends.
06:45At Norton VPN, if you need to lock your...
06:48I mean, you do need to.
06:49I don't know why I'm saying it.
06:50You need to lock down your internet security and Big 26, guys.
06:53There are all kinds of goblins out there.
06:54Like the Usos.
06:55Locked down.
06:56That's what they're doing.
06:58They're trying to steal your stuff, man.
06:59They're trying to get in your computer or your phone
07:01and steal all your little pictures and your memes and all that stuff.
07:05You know, you've got your photos in there of dogs and landscapes and stuff.
07:08Take photos of whatever you want.
07:09Yeah.
07:09People that can't judge you.
07:10Yeah, exactly.
07:11Until the demons come and they take them away from you.
07:14Look after yourself online, guys.
07:15You need this deal.
07:16You need a VPN.
07:17You need this 54% offer we have.
07:1954% off right now.
07:21$3.33 a month if you're in the United States.
07:23$2.50 a month if you are in the UK.
07:26Also, hey, maybe you're an American.
07:28You're thinking of coming over to the UK for All In.
07:30Maybe you still want to check in on your shows while you're on the road.
07:33You can do that with a VPN.
07:35Change your location to home.
07:37You can go back and watch Law and Order SVU or whatever you're into.
07:41I don't know.
07:42American Shows Castle.
07:43Is that a thing?
07:44Is that still a thing?
07:45I don't know.
07:46You can check out the new series of The Sopranos on TNT.
07:49It's great.
07:51Norton VPN, guys.
07:52Link is in the description.
07:53The QR code's been hanging around.
07:55And we'll move on.
07:56Yes, so we'll circle back now to All In and what MJF might be doing.
08:00If he's not involved in the world title picture.
08:02What's that?
08:03Dave Meltzer speculating that it could be MJF versus Hangman Adam Page at Wembley.
08:09So one would assume he is involved in maybe screwing MJF out of the title against Kenny Omega
08:15in some sort of stipped up rematch between the two of them.
08:18Obviously, Hangman Page hasn't been seen in a long time.
08:20And I'll be honest, Andy.
08:21I mean, I've got more chances of winning the world title than Hangman Page.
08:25He's not allowed.
08:26He's not allowed.
08:27That would be another huge, huge match for All In.
08:30Really big.
08:31And that actually does have a really great face heel dynamic.
08:35Especially because MJF obviously took away Hangman's ability to challenge for the world title.
08:40And maybe that Hangman might be involved in that finish at Redemption.
08:44Perhaps.
08:45That could be his big comeback if it's MJF versus Kenny.
08:47Because it ties into a bunch of different things.
08:50But that's the most obvious one.
08:52In the MJF rivalry.
08:53But also his history of Kenny Omega is incredibly rich and complex as well.
08:57And there's a lot of interesting stuff you can do there.
08:59So what we're saying is there's really no good options.
09:01Sorry.
09:02No good options.
09:03Everything sucks.
09:04No, we're saying that there are no bad options here.
09:07It's all pretty good.
09:09In the grander scheme.
09:11And look, if he's not going to be in the main event at MJF, I would argue that he should.
09:15Because he's AEW's biggest draw at this stage.
09:18I would argue that he should be.
09:20If he's not, hey, this is not a bad other option, is it?
09:23Not a bad fallback, is it?
09:25It's not like he's out there wrestling a parking cone.
09:27Or a phone box or something.
09:30Yeah.
09:30Come on.
09:30Honestly, that all-in card, we might even be talking about it on a podcast we're going
09:34to be recording today.
09:35Look, all right.
09:35In the next few days.
09:37The potential, if you're fantasy booking that card, the big matches you could do on it.
09:42You know, you could have Mercedes winning her first world title on there as well.
09:45Brawling birds.
09:47Coronation.
09:48I'm excited, man.
09:49They should have a pub brawl or something.
09:50I'm waiting for it to be all.
09:51End of August, innit?
09:52End of August.
09:53In the words of...
09:54Who said that?
09:55No one's ever said it.
09:56We should do something.
09:57Maybe we should.
09:58Maybe we should.
09:59Anyway, let's move on.
10:01Let's talk about Ronda Rousey.
10:03She said...
10:03Somebody said, hey, do you want to go to AEW full-time?
10:06And she said, hell to the nah, to the nah, nah, nah.
10:08Remember that song?
10:09I knew this was going to happen.
10:10Hell nah.
10:10Have you heard that song before?
10:11Yeah.
10:12Was it Reverend...
10:13Yeah, I remember if it is.
10:14Something or other.
10:15Guy rules.
10:16Anyway, yeah, basically she said it wouldn't fit her lifestyle, basically.
10:21She was on the Up and Adams show.
10:23Good name for a show.
10:24Up and Ad-dem.
10:25You should have stole that at some point before the other Adam did.
10:29But she was asked about how realistic it would be for her to have a full run in AEW.
10:33She said, no.
10:35That life of being on the road is probably more time-consuming than doing training camp at home.
10:39I had a great time appearing at Revolution, but I just happened to be in town and my best friend
10:44was in there.
10:45So Marina Shafir, obviously.
10:47They did tease or something with Toni Storm because she came down to fight.
10:53Toni Storm is obviously out of action at the moment.
10:56So my thing with this was it was a really cool surprise because nobody saw it coming.
11:02And she got a big run.
11:03They got booed like hell.
11:04It was a good reception.
11:05She's the heel.
11:06She should get booed.
11:09Would I have done it if I wasn't going to build to something?
11:13No, personally.
11:13And everyone assumed off the back of it.
11:16But maybe they were going to build to Toni.
11:19Toni's obviously not around at the moment.
11:22And maybe the media narrative changes because of that.
11:26Maybe the answers are a bit different if Toni is still active.
11:30Maybe.
11:30And I do look at that and hope against hope that, well, the question was full-time.
11:37It doesn't mean she can't do a one-off thing if they're in her neck of the woods or whatever
11:42it might be.
11:42Would her and Marina not make a really badass challenger for the tag titles?
11:46He's going to say, yeah, as a tag team, she doesn't have to get back into the shape or the
11:52working routine that she was all those years ago when she was doing this full-time in the Fed.
11:59Yeah, I think a lot of people just assumed when she appeared, like, well, we're going to get in the
12:05Ronda's All Elite thing.
12:06And I think the rest of us went, I don't think she is.
12:10She's got quite a big payday for fighting Gina Carano to come that's probably slightly more important for her.
12:15Yeah, what was that last?
12:1614 seconds or something?
12:1817 seconds?
12:19Something like that?
12:19Pretty impressive.
12:20I wouldn't be surprised if they try and do another big fight for her.
12:23So that's probably...
12:24She made a mint off the back of that.
12:26Too milly, yeah.
12:27Too milly.
12:29But I wouldn't be surprised if, also, if Tony Khan decides they want to do a big show and not
12:34necessarily make her the front and center of it, but, yeah, like a tag match.
12:38Yeah, if she wants to do a match, I think it'd be cool.
12:40People have reasons for not liking Ronda Rousey, and I will not take that away from you.
12:44But, like, from a...
12:45She's more of a family person now, isn't she?
12:47The whole reason she left was to go and have a family.
12:49Exactly.
12:50So I respect that.
12:51And, like, if she does get into more MMA fights, that is a very involved training process of months and
12:56months of prep.
12:57And you're not...
12:58It's probably quite hard to fit wrestling matches around that, I'd imagine.
13:01Yeah.
13:01So, hey, cyborg match is still there.
13:05They're going to try and book that, aren't they?
13:07Yeah, they're going to.
13:08The cyborg still...
13:09I'm not the person who's duck fighting me.
13:11You're going to get...
13:11Will Ospreay and Chris Cyborg.
13:12You're going to get your ass beat by Will Ospreay and Chris Cyborg.
13:15A handicap match.
13:17Cyborg, you coming to London.
13:18You're in London.
13:19Max, help me.
13:20I'm not helping you.
13:21You're on your own there.
13:23There's not many people I would fight in the universe, and I would not fight either of them.
13:26It's actually the anniversary of Cyborg ducking me the other day, wasn't it?
13:30Was it?
13:31It was Double or Nothing.
13:31I was on my time hop.
13:32What's that?
13:33In the words of...
13:33Seven years she's been ducking me.
13:35She's going to...
13:36Is she going to eat you all?
13:37It's all Cleary and Phil's fault that, by the way.
13:39Yeah, yeah.
13:39Because she was in the...
13:40She was in the, like, What Went Down video.
13:42We shot outside the MGM Grand.
13:44Many...
13:442019 Double or Nothing.
13:46She pops in.
13:47It was the wildest thing ever.
13:48I just felt this arm on my shoulder, and I was like, it's bloody Chris Cyborg.
13:51Right, she pops in.
13:52I say, oh, did you have a good time at the show?
13:53She leaves.
13:54And then that video, thanks to everyone, did quite well, because we put Cyborg in the
13:58thumbnail, and she sort of...
14:00It was when Jericho was doing, like, his thank me gimmick, basically.
14:04Yeah.
14:04So she tweeted me, saying, you know, you and what coaches should thank me more.
14:08Like, eh.
14:09Yeah.
14:09I tweeted back on the encouragement of Phil and Cleary.
14:12Calm down, love.
14:12You're only in the video for 10 seconds.
14:14Who's the real star?
14:15And that's where it all started.
14:16Phil will get you in so much trouble.
14:18You don't know.
14:19You guys don't know about how much of a little stir that guy can be.
14:22He hears the little devil on your shoulder going, go on, do it.
14:25And then he disappears.
14:26He gives you a little laugh as well.
14:28But yeah, everyone can get it.
14:31Which MMA fighter would you least like to fight?
14:34Nganu.
14:35Nganu.
14:35Oh, God, yeah.
14:36I saw what he did to Overeem, and I thought, I never want to get hit by that man ever
14:42again.
14:43Yeah.
14:43Ever again, ever.
14:44And his fight on that MVP event the other week, it was just like, one punch, one punch, man.
14:50Like, and the other guy's going down.
14:53One big blow.
14:54Mark Hunt for me.
14:55Yeah, walk off KO.
15:00Probably one of my favorite MMA fighters of all time, Mark Hunt.
15:03And that era where he was just, he just casually goes boom and then walks away.
15:08Yeah.
15:08Like Stefan Struve, who's like seven feet tall.
15:11That was just like a comically skyscraper, wasn't it?
15:14He broke his jaw as well, didn't he?
15:15Yeah, that was a bad one.
15:16That's brutal.
15:17Who's tomorrow, Paul Harris as well?
15:18We'll invite him.
15:19Please let go.
15:20Paul Harris.
15:21Yeah.
15:22What about Pico Vanderlei Silva?
15:23That's pretty scary, too.
15:24He's pretty scary.
15:25Oh, what was the, oh no, that guy turned out to be a natural criminal.
15:29So I'll talk about that later.
15:30Not Left Lake Cemetery, Right Lake Hospital, whatever his name was.
15:33Not him.
15:34Who was that?
15:34Crocop.
15:35Crocop.
15:35Ah, Crocop, yeah.
15:37Yeah.
15:37See, we do like MMA.
15:39It's just MMA from about 20 years ago now.
15:40Yeah, me too.
15:41I like Bob Sapp.
15:43Yeah.
15:44Yeah.
15:45That's what I like.
15:46I like the Noguera brothers.
15:49Pereira.
15:50He's a scary dude.
15:51I'm not sure I know him.
15:52The one who fought Adesanya.
15:54I don't know him.
15:54He just comes out and goes.
15:57Shane Carwin.
15:58Shane Carwin was pretty scary.
15:59Just like a big badass engineer.
16:01I don't think I'd like to face any MMA fighters.
16:03Yeah, me neither.
16:03I wouldn't fight.
16:04Holly Holmes seems lovely, but I saw what you did to Ronda Rousey.
16:07I would fight no one.
16:08I'm not a fighter.
16:09I'm a lover.
16:09Yeah.
16:10If we have beef, just let's talk, man.
16:11Yeah.
16:12Let's talk.
16:12But finally, let's conclude talking about the buys for Double or Nothing, by the way.
16:16Wrestling Observer reporting this, saying that the buys seem to be 15% above Revolution.
16:22As you mentioned earlier, a real credit to the title versus hair stipulation.
16:26So, Revolution did 177,000 buys.
16:3015%.
16:30They worked out.
16:32I haven't.
16:32Around 204,000 buys.
16:34Jesus.
16:34So, over 200,000 buys for Double or Nothing.
16:37A brilliant show.
16:39So, only enhancing, hopefully, their reputation going forward.
16:42Big number.
16:42Yeah.
16:42Big number.
16:43The attendance was great.
16:4515K.
16:45That was.
16:46Yeah, it was a big number.
16:47It was a great venue.
16:48Yeah, a wonderful venue.
16:49I really love it when you get to, like, the week before the show and the company realizes
16:55they're, by phone, the company realizes they're selling loads of tickets, so they've turned
16:59the stage into the most minimal thing imaginable.
17:01Open seats up.
17:02WWE did that many times in 2023.
17:05I was looking at WrestleTix and going, oh, they haven't completely sold out.
17:09There's one ticket left.
17:10Yeah.
17:10That one was sitting there for a while.
17:11I almost bought it for the crack.
17:13I was like, I can't go, but maybe I'll buy it and give it away to someone.
17:17Yeah.
17:17But, yeah, really good.
17:19It's good for them, man.
17:20Like, an AEW pay-per-view is the surest bet in wrestling.
17:23It's going to be great.
17:24Yeah.
17:24It just, it simply is.
17:26It's like NXT TakeOver in, like, 2016 or whatever.
17:29You tune in, you know exactly what you get, and if it's what you want, yeah, and if it's
17:33what you want, it's going to be absolutely ripping.
17:35And there was not a foot, not a bad match on this show.
17:39The whole thing rocked.
17:40I was really happy with it when it came out.
17:43I think that it's worthy of the success, and it's another feather in the cap of MJF who
17:48continues to be the company's biggest needle mover.
17:51It's almost like he should be in the main event of Wembley.
17:53Yeah.
17:54For me, he should be.
17:55For me, he should be, too.
17:56Oh, we're going to get told off in the comments.
17:58Yeah, but that's fine.
17:59We can like different things, you know.
18:00We're all different people.
18:02Oh, yeah.
18:03Exactly.
18:03We're just trying to navigate the ocean of life.
18:05This crazy world we're living.
18:06Yeah.
18:07We're all just trying to, I'm just, I don't know.
18:11I don't know.
18:11What are we trying to do?
18:12What are we trying to do?
18:13Trying to get through a week, mostly.
18:14Hug my beer or something.
18:15Yeah, yeah.
18:16That's the one.
18:17Anyway, you want to see this morning's news?
18:19It's here.
18:20We'll be, no, we're not doing another news video for a week and a half.
18:26Jeezy peeps.
18:27Everyone's like, oh, thank God.
18:28Yeah.
18:29The idiots are out.
18:30Yeah.
18:30Other people are in.
18:31See you in Italy.
18:32See, I won't, but I'll see you on the internet.
18:35I'll see you not next Tuesday, next Wednesday.
18:37Go away.
18:38Bye.
18:38In the words of God smack, go away.
