This was a hard watch. 

You knew this list would get to All Out 2024 at some point, and what transpired after Danielson successfully retained the AEW World Championship against Jack Perry sent the IWC into a meltdown.

Moxley has been seen as someone what of an intruder in recent weeks, with him and the recently aligned Marina Shafir wreaking havoc backstage and sending ominous warnings to the entire locker room. So, when he headed to the ring with the rest of the Blackpool Combat Club, fans should have known something was amiss. But then, they all held up their hands and it just felt like a nice moment.

Then Mox gave Claudio the nod and they set the world on fire.

Castagnolli drilled Danielson with a European Uppercut, and the shock on Danielson's face, and the regret on Claudio's, was magic. But it got worse. Much worse. Moxley, with a look of complete disinterest, wrapped a plastic bag around the champ's head and began to suffocate the 'American Dragon' in the centre of the ring. Wheeler Yuta, held back masterfully by PAC, screamed in horror as his idol was taken to the brink of death.

It was brutal. It was a little excessive, and it's easy to understand some of the complaints. But what it has done is finally breath a little life into the BCC, and whatever comes next, has a hard act to follow.
