A fantastic presentation of Mogul Embassy as the muscle behind Swerve Strickland's mouth put the group over as the nastiest bunch of badasses on the entire roster, regardless of Jon Moxley's poetic asides on the Blackpool Combat Club.
The prior obsession to find the right heaters for Swerve looked set to undo his push entirely, but AEW have at long last found what fits in Prince Nana's group of monsters and AR Fox especially. Following last week's fabulous and brutal invasion of Nick Wayne's home training ring, the villains of the piece were brought face to face with the heroes. Strickland stared down the consequences of his actions in the form of Sting's bat up against his chin, and the All In comeuppance - a coffin match! - was confirmed.
