10 Things You Didn't Know About ALL IN

9. Adam Cole Couldn’t Attend

Both Champion and Challenger for All In London's main event will be able to pull from wildly different personal recollections of the first edition of the show on the big night. More on MJF's shortly, but aside from toasting his headline spot, Adam Cole will presumably just be glad to get in the building this time.

Then one of NXT's biggest names, he was prohibited from attending the original back in 2018.

This is all per Britt Baker herself, who confirmed as much in a tweet following the news that the AEW World Heavyweight Championship match would indeed main event Wembley Stadium. As she put it;

I was crushed when @AdamColePro wasn’t allowed to come watch me wrestle on the first #ALLIN, the biggest show of my career at the time. Now he’s main eventing the second one. ❤️#AEWAllIn #AEW pic.twitter.com/edj71Cblbh

The nod on the night was well received all around, tethering the pair together for anybody unaware of their real life relationship and aiding 'D.M.D's presentation for anybody that might have been getting their first look at the future AEW Women's Champion and division's biggest star.
