Brian Cage vs. Darby Allin

[7.0] "A pretty fun opener that the crowd was really into from the beginning. I've felt as though Cage has gotten more spotlight on him since the merge between The Mogul and The Embassy, which I really like, even though it seems as though he's losing a bunch. Despite that, Allin winning here was the right call since he's challenging Luchasaurus for the AEW TNT Title at All Out."

[7.0] "The typical big man vs little man match. Allin and Cage have had some good matches in the past and this was another good one. Cage ragdolled Allin and Allin bumped like the madman he is. The winner was obvious as Allin is building to face Swerve and Fox not Cage but still a good show opener."

[9.0] "My favorite of the weekend block from AEW last week, these two always go together so wonderfully. Brian Cage is an amazing base for any crazy thing than Darby wants to try, he can always provide a steady platform or a nice cushion to land on. Meanwhile Darby will bump wildly with 110% for anything, and Cage is super capable of ragdolling him around. Just look at the way Darby flew away like a helicopter blade off that F5 man! This isn't even close to their best match together but it was a great little TV match and I think folks are sleeping on it."

[6.0] "Nice opener, some good moves for both Cage and Allin. I enjoy they chemistry a lot, they always delivers something when working together. Hope Cage will continue showing on AEW, with or without Swerve and the Embassy; wish he'll be at Wembley too. ***1/4."

[7.0] "Surprisingly low overall rating for this. I think Cage and Darby have great chemistry. Cage looks much better than usual any time he wrestles him. Darby's rag doll bumping makes Cage's power spots look great, and Cage is a lot better when he focuses on his strength rather than his often weak looking cruiserweight spots and strikes. Really fun opener."

[4.0] "It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't a good match either. Darby didn't do anything at all until the last couple of minutes of the match, Cage threw him around as he wanted, hit him as he wanted, and Allin just took it all in. And he won the match on two reversals. Who could be interested in such victories at all?"

[6.0] "I was getting into this one at the end, with the best thing here being that Cage didnt do a bunch of flying stuff. Instead, Cage stuck with his power game, which worked well against an opponent like Allin. A rather good opener here, as Allins battle against the Mogul Embassy continues."

[5.0] "The booking wasn't quite right for this one, there should have been the Mogul Embassy all over the place, instead Brian Cage largely dominated and Darby Allin found an opening to win. This emphasised the problem with having All In and All Out so close together, combining both of Allin's feuds with Luchasaurus getting involved afterwards."

[7.0] "Pretty strong way to kickoff the show, these two have good chemistry and proved it again tonight: Allin started off with a dropkick and a series of dives, trying to outwork Cage thanks to his speed but Cage quickly took the hupper hand and the two even went through a table. Cage looked dominant and Allin had a great comeback. The coffin drop on the apron it's always a nice spots to see. Good match. 7/10 - 3.5*/5*"
