AEW All Out 2025 Results, Winners, Live Grades, Reaction and Highlights from Toronto

Welcome to Bleacher Report's live coverage of AEW All Out 2025.

All Elite Wrestling took this year's show north of the border to Toronto, a city with a rich history in professional wrestling.

Over a dozen matches took place on Saturday, and with the show airing in the afternoon instead of the evening, it kept the event from ending in the wee hours of the morning.

Five championships were on the line, there were a few big stipulation matches, and we got the return of a wrestler who has been on the shelf for just over a year.

Let's take a look at everything that happened at this year's All Out PPV.

Zero Hour Tailgate

Samoa Joe and Powerhouse Hobbs vs. The Workhorsemen

Last Time in Action: Joe and Hobbs lost to Death Riders (Dynamite, Sept. 10), Workhorsemen lost six-team gauntlet (ROH, Sept. 6)

The Zero Hour pre-show began with Hobbs and Joe taking on Henry and Anthony. Hobbs was dishing out body slams left and right. Joe got the win for his team in a short but entertaining bout with the Coquina Clutch.

Result: Joe and Hobbs defeated Workhorsemen

Grade: C

Katsuyori Shibata vs. Daniel Garcia

Last time in action: Shibata defeated Matt Mako (ROH, Sept. 11), Garcia and Moxley defeated Paragon (Collision, Sept. 11)

Garcia came out with Marina Shafir by his side to take on Shibata in the rubber match in their feud. This was a fun, hard-hitting fight that would have been right at home on the main card. Garcia tapped but Shafir had the ref distracted. Garcia was able to get the win with a piledriver followed by a nasty Stomp to the head.

Result: Garcia defeated Shibata

Grade: B

Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong and Hologram vs. The Frat House

Last time in action: Paragon lost to Death Riders (Collision, Sept, 11), Hologram won the six-team tag match (ROH, Sept. 11) The Frat House lost to AR Fox and The Kingdom (ROH, August 30)

The Conglomeration and Paragon joined forces for this six-man tag match against The Frat House. This was a quick sprint that ended with Hologram getting the win for his team.

Result: Hologram, O'Reilly and Strong defeated The Frat House

Grade: C

Eight-Woman Tornado Tailgate Brawl

Last time in action: Bayne and Triangle of Madness defeated Nightingale, Statlander, Aminata and Cameron (Forbidden Door), Shirakawa defeated Lacey Lane (ROH, Sept. 11)

This huge feud has been building in the women's division for weeks, and it culminated in an eight-woman tornado tag match to close out the pre-show. As expected, this was chaotic and disorganized, but that didn't stop it from being enjoyable. Nightingale got the win for her team with a huge powerbomb to Ford.

Result: Nightingale, Aminata, Shirakawa and Cameron won

Grade: B

---

Notable Moments and Observations

• Hobbs slamming Henry and Drake over and over was fun. The crowd was eating it up.
• You could see a lot of empty seats early in the Zero Hour.
• Not having Garcia's entrance music anymore kind of sucks, but it makes sense for his character.
• Garcia dropkicking the steps into Shibata's head was a brutal spot.
• The show cut to a break right when Cameron grabbed a staplegun.
• The spot with the Weber grill did not go as planned.

Cage and Cope vs. FTR

Last time in action: FTR defeated Adam Priest and Tommy Billington (Collision, Sept. 11), Cage and Cope defeated Killswitch and Kip Sabian (Forbidden Door)

Cage and Cope were shown walking backstage and running into some familiar faces before they made their entrance for this grudge match against Wheeler and Harwood.

Dax the Ax and The Patriarch started with a standard collar and elbow tie-up. Harwood got the first takedown with a shoulder tackle, and then he added insult to injury by walking across Cage's back.

Cope and Wheeler tagged in, and Wheeler spat right at his former friend to get some heat. Both teams were taking their time and easing into this one. It took a couple of minutes before the pace started to quicken.

Cage spent some time taking damage due to FTR preventing him from tagging Copeland a few times. Once Cope got the hot tag, he took the fight to both members of FTR. He even did a Five-Knuckle Shuffle to pay John Cena back for his reference to his Spear.

Cage and Cope locked in simultaneous Sharpshooters at one point. Cash had to slap some sense into Dax to prevent him from tapping out.

This may not have been pedal-to-the-metal action, but it was a great example of how you can put on a great match without rushing from spot to spot. They took their time, sold the big moves, and picked up the pace when necessary.

Stokely Hathaway pulled the ref out of the ring to prevent a pin, which brought out Beth Phoenix to take him down with a Spear. While the ref was distracted, FTR used the ring bell on Copeland, but he still managed to kick out at two.

After surviving a Shatter Machine, Copeland was able to get the win with a Spear while Cage held Harwood back from breaking up the pin. Nick Wayne came out to provide a distraction so FTR and Sabian could attack Cope and Cage.

Copeland was cuffed to the ring ropes and had to watch FTR hit a spike piledriver to Cage. Rather than trying to run from FTR, Beth gave her husband a kiss before going after both men. They ended up piledriving her as Cope looked on helplessly.

The post-match angle is a clear indication that this feud is far from over. The crowd gave FTR tons of heat for attacking Beth.

Result: Cage and Cope defeated FTR

Grade: B+

---

Notable Moments and Observations

• The backstage stuff with Bubbles/Green Bastard was unnecessary but still funny.
• It's been 21 years since Cope and Cage teamed up in Toronto.
• Harwood had his nose taped up due to being broken by Cage.
• The commentators addressed the reference to Cena without saying his name, but the crowd chanted Cena's name a few times.
• Cash slapping Dax to keep him from tapping out was great.
• Phoenix got a great reaction when she came out. Since she had her own music and video, this may not be the last time we see her.

Eddie Kingston vs. Big Bill

Last time in action: Big Bill defeated Max Caster (Collision, Sept. 11), Kingston lost to Gabe Kidd (NJPW Strong Resurgence 2024)

Big Bill was out first to take on Kingston in what was his first match in over a year. The Toronto crowd gave The Mad King a warm welcome when he came to the ring.

Kingston got right in Bill's face and the match got started right away. He unloaded with chops on the big man, but one shot from Bill put him on the mat. Even though it took Kingston a little while to begin making a real comeback, he never stopped talking trash.

Most of the match was dominated by the seven-foot monster. Bryan Keith cheered him on as he kept finding ways to stall Kingston's momentum and beat him to the canvas.

Kingston hit one of his signature spinning backfists, but Big Bill got right back up and mocked him like it was nothing. The second one he hit put Bill down for the count, but he barely connected and even the announcers acknowledged that it looked like a miss.

This was entertaining, but nobody is going to call this a five-star match, especially with how it ended on a low note. Keith and Bill attacked Kingston until Hook came out to make the save. Ending with Hook and Eddie as a potential alliance was an interesting way to go.

Result: Kingston defeated Big Bill

Grade: C

---

Notable Moments and Observations

• Kingston did not waste any time getting to the ring and getting the fight going.
• A lot of people were throwing the F-word around. Kingston could be heard saying it several times.
• The second spinning slam from Big Bill looked much better than the first.
• Danielson was great on commentary for this match. His history with Kingston helped him add a lot.

MJF vs. Mark Briscoe (Takes and Tacks)

Last time in action: Mistico defeated MJF (CMLL 92 Anniversario), Takeshita defeated Briscoe (Collision, Sept. 6)

The former CMLL light-heavyweight world champion came out first for his Table and Tacks match against Briscoe. The ring had a bucket of tacks in each corner and several tables surrounding it.

The Chicken immediately poured a ton of tacks into the ring before he and MJF even made contact. MJF tried to leave, but Briscoe brought him back to the ring. Both men tried to slam each other onto the tacks, but they kept countering to avoid it.

MJF used the ref as a shield to sucker Briscoe in so he could slam him for the first time. He drove Mark's head into some tacks to add extra punishment and cause the first blood to spill.

MJF forced a bunch of tacks into Briscoe's mouth and then decked him in the face. When MJF was finally dropped on the tacks with a back body drop, the crowd and Danielson cheered.

This was designed to be a bloody fight, not a good wrestling match, so judging something like this is tricky. Was this good on a fundamental level? Sure, to some degree. Was it good as a series of violent spots designed to pop the crowd? Absolutely.

Nobody will call this the best match on the card, but it might be the most memorable for many people. Both men did a fantastic job using the stipulation to create big moments, which was exactly what this was designed to do.

MJF started looking desperate after a tombstone onto a tack-covered chair didn't put The Chicken away. Briscoe put MJF through a table with the Froggy Bow, and then he hit a second. He finally finished him off with a Jay Driller for the pin and the win.

Result: Briscoe defeated MJF

Grade: B+

Notable Moments and Observations

• MJF's choice of gear for this match was clearly designed to make any blood he shed show as much as possible. It was mostly white with a little black lettering on his shirt.
• The look on MJF's face when Briscoe was dumping out the tacks was perfect.
• MJF got some good heat by putting some tables away.
• The Sabu-style chair spot Briscoe did looked great.
• Shoutout to the ring crew who had to clean all of this up when it was over.

The Hurt Syndicate vs. the Demand

Last time in action: Lashley defeated Liona (Dynamite, Sept. 17), Ricochet defeated Benjamin (Dynamite, Sept. 10)

Ricochet and The Gates of Agony were out first to take on Lashley, Benjamin and MVP, who was having his first match since he defeated Al Snow at an indie event in May. This was his first AEW match since January.

MVP started for his team, but he wanted Ricochet instead of Kaun. Ricochet obliged for a moment but tagged out before anything could actually happen. Kaun and MVP grappled and traded some shots before Benjamin tagged in.

After Lashley tagged in, Ricochet came in and mocked him. He tried to unload on him with some body shots that appeared to have no effect. The All Mighty held him up for a vertical suplex for a long time.

The Hurt Syndicate had the upper hand until The Demand cornered MVP and kept him isolated for a while as they worked on his bad leg. Once Benjamin got the tag, he started suplexing and throwing all three opponents around the ring, sometimes two at the same time.

This was a solid competitive match. Even with the trios titles not being defended on the show by The Opps, it was nice to see the division get some attention with this bout. All six men worked hard to make sure this was exciting enough to follow the mayhem that came before it.

Ricochet ended up getting the win for his team by pinning MVP in a somewhat surprising outcome.

Result: The Demand defeated The Hurt Syndicate

Grade: B

---

Notable Moments and Observations

• Ricochet's new group is named The Demand. It took way too long to come up with a name for this trio. They have been together for several weeks.
• It's nice to see Benjamin being allowed to act like the veteran and legend he is. The way he no-sold some chops from Kaun was great.

Mercedes Moné vs. Riho

Last time in action: Riho defeated Robyn Renegade (Collision, Sept. 17), Mone and Emi Sakura lost to Riho and Alex Windsor (Dynamite, Sept. 10)

The TBS title was on the line when Riho challenged Moné in the next matchup. This is coming less than two weeks after Moné lost a tag match to Riho and Windsor, so she was looking to prove to the former women's world champion that it was a fluke.

They traded some rollups and attempted submissions right from the start, but neither woman could gain a clear advantage. The crowd chanted for both women as Moné grabbed the bottom rope to escape a half crab.

The pace slowed way down in the middle as The CEO was putting Riho through a lot of punishment. The crowd was still chanting and cheering, but you could tell people were kind of waiting for something big to happen.

This match had good moments, but as a whole, it fell short of what we know both women are capable of in the ring. If this had been a Dynamite main event, it might have felt like a bigger deal. It picked up a bit at the end, but not early enough.

The CEO retained the title after raking the eyes and then hitting her finisher for the pin.

Result: Moné defeated Riho

Grade: C+

---

Notable Moments and Observations

• Moné had a bunch of shirtless men wearing all of her titles except the TBS Championship during her entrance.
• Riho's size makes her one of the few people who can hit a 619 without it looking clunky.
• The double stomp Riho hit at ringside looked brutal. Even someone her size stomping on your stomach with both feet is going to hurt.
• The way Riho was trying to slam Moné's knee into the mat looked bad. Neither one of them was doing it right because they were off rhythm.

Kazuchika Okada vs. Konosuke Takeshita vs. Máscara Dorada

Last time in action: Okada defeated Michael Oku (Collision, Sept. 11), Takeshita defeated Anthony Bowens (Collision, Sept. 11), Dorada defeated The Beast Mortos (Dynamite, Sept. 17)

The match got started with all three men going after each other right away. Takeshita was sent out of the ring, so Dorada and Okada traded moves for a bit. Once Big Take was back in, Okada took a breather at ringside.

Even though both men are members of the Don Callis Family, it rarely felt like Okada and Takeshita were doing anything to help each other. It was pure competition, and it made for a more exciting match.

They kept a steady pace throughout the entire match. It never felt like there was a lull in the action unless someone had a submission hold locked in. It definitely felt like Dorada had the worst odds in this bout, but he was also the most exciting to watch.

It took a long time before Takeshita and Okada had a longer sequence together, but once they did, the crowd was loving it. The second half of the match was significantly more exciting than the first. They did a good job making us question who would win.

Dorada was the star of this match, which is saying a lot considering the caliber of the other competitors. All three men came close to winning a few times before it finally ended with Okada hitting the Rainmaker on Dorada for the pin and the win.

Result: Okada defeated Dorada and Takeshita

Grade: A-

---

Notable Moments and Observations

• Don Callis said "Sometimes 1 + 1=6," and Taz's no-selling the line was hilarious.
• Dorada is one of those guys who we all know is great at what he does, but he has yet to get a defining win in AEW.
• Takeshita's brainbuster on the ramp looked awesome.
• The back to back dives from Dorada was a fun moment.
• The best spot in the match was when Dorada hit a hurricanrana on both men simultaneously from the top rope.

Jon Moxley vs. Darby Allin

Last time in action: Moxley defeated Strong (Dynamite, Sept. 17), Allin defeated Claudio Castagnoli (Dynamite, August 17)

The fifth Coffin match in AEW history saw Allin, who has a perfect record with three wins with this stipulation, taking on Moxley, who has never competed in one in AEW before.

As Mox was making his way through the crowd, Allin appeared out of nowhere and attacked him to get the match started. The risk-taker immediately hit a big dive off the top of a doorway leading out of the arena.

They fought further up into the crowd before making their way back to the ringside area. Moxley started to bleed after Allin bit into his ear for several seconds.

The rest of the Death Riders came out and helped for a bit, but Moxley eventually sent everyone away. He brought one of the caskets in the ring and slammed it shut on Allin's hand. A few minutes later, Allin returned the favor and did it to both hands.

We all knew this would be a bloody and violent fight because both of these guys live for that kind of thing, but whether that is a good thing or not is up to you. The live crowd was definitely having a good time with it.

Danielson handed Allin a duffel bag that contained the same kind of plastic bag Danielson was suffocated with. Allin used it to cover Moxley's head and then hit a Code Red. Pac made a surprising return and ended up sending Allin over the top rope into one of the caskets with a powerbomb.

Pac put Allin in the casket and Moxley closed it to get the win. The ending of the match might not have been as exciting as the rest of it, but having Pac back is never a bad thing. For what this was, it was a good time.

Result: Moxley defeated Allin

Grade: B

---

Notable Moments and Observations

• Shafir accompanied Moxley for this match.
• Allin was chomping on Moxley's ear like he was Mike Tyson in 1997.
• Technically, this match had a casket, not a coffin, but most people probably don't know the difference. Coffins have six sides and caskets have three.
• Alling hit a dive that put both men in the casket.
• When The Death Riders tried to put the casket in the ring, they dropped it and the crowd laughed.

Toni Storm vs. Thekla vs. Jamie Hayter vs. Kris Statlander

Last time in action: Storm defeated Blue (Dynamite, Sept. 10), Thekla defeated Aminata (Dynamite, Sept. 17), Statlander and Hayter's team lost the $500K match (Collision, Sept. 11)

Thekla was out first for the Fatal 4-Way world title match with Storm, Hayter and Statlander. All four women had momentum coming into this match, but as usual, Storm got the loudest reaction.

Storm and Thekla paired up while Stat and Hayter fought, but those pairs didn't last long. It came down to Statlander and Hayter trading shots in the middle of the ring. All four women ended up fighting at ringside and everyone took some big risks and bumps.

This match had an unfortunate placement on the card. It came right after a brutal Coffin match and right before a four-way Ladder match. The crowd was into it, but had this match happened earlier in the night, it likely would have been received even better.

That being said, this was a good performance from all four competitors. They brought a lot of energy to the ring and made sure they kept the crowd's attention. Hayter and Storm have the most history between them, and they did a good job addressing that without it feeling like the others were left out.

What nobody expected was how this ended. Statlander ended up using the seatbelt pinning combination to pin Storm and become the new world champion. This was a great match, but the unpredictable ending was what made it stand out. Harley came out to celebrate with her friend.

Result: Statlander defeated Storm, Hayter and Thekla to win the world title

Grade: B+

---

Notable Moments and Observations

• The Conglomeration teased the return of Orange Cassidy in a backstage segment.
• The way Thekla countered Stat's suicide dive with a running kick was awesome.
• The lariat Hayter hit on Statlander looked stiff. It was great.
• Storm stomping on Thekla during her spider pose was funny.
• The "You deserve it" chants after Stat won was a great way to end it.

Brodido vs. Young Bucks vs. JetSpeed vs. Don Callis Family

Last time in action: Jetspeed defeated Killswitch and Sabian (Collision, Sept. 17), Brodido lost to Death Riders (Dynamite, Sept. 10), Young Bucks defeated Bang Bang Gang (Dynamite, Sept. 17), Callis Family defeated Top Flight (Collision, Sept. 17)

The tag titles were up for grabs in a four-way Ladder match with Brodido defending against the Bucks, JetSpeed and The Don Callis Family.

Alexander and Hechicero took control early, thanks to some solid teamwork. It didn't take them long to clear the ring, but JetSpeed cut off their momentum with some fast-paced offense.

Every team had moments when they were in the driver's seat during the first few minutes. For a match with so many participants, they ensured the action was easy to follow.

The Bucks and the Callis Family formed a temporary alliance that eventually fell apart when Nick and Matt tried to win behind their backs.

So many Ladder matches have occurred across multiple promotions that it's challenging to come up with anything new, but they managed to incorporate a few elements that felt unique to this bout. Everyone clearly put thought into setting up some innovative spots.

This was chaos in the best possible sense. Everyone took several big bumps, and it didn't feel like there was a single weak link. After several close calls, Brodido pulled down the titles to retain.

Jack Perry returned after the match and attacked The Young Bucks. We then saw a video of him being the one to wake up Luchasaurus, who was in the ring when the lights came back on.

He chokeslammed both Bucks before throwing away his Killswitch belt and hugging his former tag team partner. Tarzan Boy began playing in the arena as the crowd sang along with it.

Result: Brodido won

Grade: A-

---

Notable Moments and Observations

• King suplexing three men at once was a cool spot.
• The spot when King held the ladder with Bandido on it while Bailey hit a moonsault was creative. You could hear King urging Bandido to get up unsuccessfully, but he didn't want to drop it with his partner on it.
• Alexander took a tough bump onto a ladder at ringside.
• The moment when Bailey slid under a ladder at the same time that Knight jumped over it was great.
• Hechicero might have dislocated some fingers when they got caught in the ladder.
• Bandido doing a moonsault from the top rope to the floor while holding a ladder was nuts.

Adam Page vs. Kyle Fletcher

Last time in action: Page defeated Alexander (Dynamite, Sept. 10), Fletcher's team defeated Page's team (Dynamite, Sept. 3)

The main event of All Out saw Hangman defend the men's world title against The Protostar. There was a stipulation put in place that if Fletcher cheats or anyone interferes, he will be stripped of the TNT title.

The opponents came together in the middle of the ring and talked a little trash before going for the first lockup. The few matches before this were pure mayhem, so they set themselves apart by making this more of a traditional wrestling bout at first.

However, once they took the fight out of the ring, Fletcher used a chair to hit a big dive over the barricade to take Hangman down. It may have done more damage to him because Page was the first to his feet.

For the next several minutes, The Protostar seemed to have the upper hand more often than not. Hangman kept finding ways to get in bursts of offense, but it felt like Fletcher had control for longer periods of time.

They paced this match almost perfectly. They slowed down to sell, and they sped up to get the crowd excited again. The big spots felt like they meant something because they weren't just moving from one thing to the next.

Fletcher hit a brainbuster to put Page through the timekeeper's table, but both men were down for a long time afterwards. When they got back in the ring, Fletcher hit two running kicks followed by another brainbuster, but he couldn't get the pin.

A few moments later, Hangman put Fletcher through a different table with a Deadeye. The bump looked nasty for Fletcher, but he was able to continue. They continued to fight for several more minutes, trading several near-falls.

Hangman appeared to have nothing left as a confident Fletcher stood there and no-sold his strikes, but he was able to hit the Deadeye from the middle rope before nailing the Buckshot Lariat for the pin and the win.

Result: Page defeated Fletcher

Grade: A

---

Notable Moments and Observations

• Allin was shown busting out of the casket and attacking Moxley with a pipe before the main event took place. He put Mox in a body bag and lit it on fire. Members of the crew put it out fast and dragged Allin away.
• Fletcher debuted a new intro to his entrance music with his own voiceover.
• The lights being turned down in the arena helped set this match apart from the rest of the show.
• Fletcher running so fast to hit a kick that he sent himself into the timekeeper's area was funny.
• Fletcher used Will Ospreay's Hidden Blade at one point. Page followed up by using Swerve Strickland's Big Pressure.

The Final Word

AEW rarely fails to deliver with its PPVs, and this year's All Out was no exception. Every single match ranged from good to great, but it was the surprises that made it memorable.

Beth Phoenix's first in-ring appearance in AEW ended with her taking a piledriver from FTR, which was obviously designed to continue their feud with Copeland while Cage focused on the Wayne Family.

Statlander winning the women's world title was a genuinely shocking moment, but one that felt deserved after all of the work she has put in over the past couple of years. 

Pac's return to help Moxley win his Coffin match against Allin was a nice surprise, but it was even more shocking when Allin set Mox on fire later in the night. 

The return of Jungle Boy, his reunion with Luchasaurus, and the return of their Tarzan Boy theme were among the highlights of the night. 

The four-way tag title Ladder match and the Unified Championship triple threat were some of the best action we saw all night. This show will be defined by the violence and chaos that ensued, but it ended with a classic singles bout between two guys in their prime.

Fletcher and Hangman had a lot of pressure on them, and they delivered in a big way. They didn't need tons of shenanigans. It was just a good match between two guys who want nothing more than to put on a good show.

They didn't have Kenny Omega, Ospreay or Swerve, but AEW still managed to put on a great night of wrestling. Overall, this was an outstanding show.

Grade: A-
