He had a Wrestlemania moment, and even gave his move. It's not bad to be pinned via a RKO outta nowhere.

This is true. He said as much afterwards. and HHH apparently told him backstage "you'll be back doing wrestlemanias again".
Love the story that the original plan was to have him debut on Raw and lose to the Miz and TNA said no (if true)

I still haven't come to grips with R Truth being released. It's just too far. I considered going to MITB this weekend just to hold up signs and chant for him, but my god the ticket prices are absolutely insane.
I hope he shows up at AEW looking for Cena. Or searching for his childhood hero darby allin.

That Ron Killings looks very familiar!

Oh boy did I scream
Revolution was a blast when we were at Staples in March but I honestly haven't been more excited for a PPV as I am for All In tomorrow. The build leading up to it has been top notch.
AEW Men's World Championship Texas Deathmatch
Jon Moxley (C) vs Hangman Adam Page
Hangman has to win this right? For months and months now, all the interference from the Deathriders and Elite, this has to end. The title has to be free from the briefcase. I'm expecting an insane amount of blood and an insane amount of interference. It also really depends on how the other matches go... But Hangman should have the help of The Opps, Ospreay, and when Swerve finally helps him (the chain will come into play), that pop is going to be insane. I'm also half expecting Bryan Danielson to return to help as well, since this all kind of started with the Deathriders taking him with a plastic bag.
AEW Unified Championship Match - Winner Take All
Kazuchika Okada (Continental Champion) vs Kenny Omega (International Champion)
I'm assuming this will be under Continental Classic rules (because Tony Khan has said the CC will continue and this belt is part of it), so that means no interference. I wonder if they can go 30-35 minutes here. I'm sure they can. Honestly, it doesn't matter to me who wins this one, either choice is a solid pick. But storyline wise, I'm expecting Omega to win. I do think that Okada will get the honor of kicking out of the One Winged Angel though!
AEW Women's World Championship
'Timeless' Toni Storm (C) vs Mercedes Mone
This match should be really good too as both of them can go. The story here is that Toni knows the World Title is the big one and that she doesn't need all the other belts like Mercedes. Meanwhile, Mercedes seem to have this ego where she assumes she can collect any belt she wants, because that's how good she is. I don't know who I want to win here. I'm not sure who else Toni can feud with at this point if she retains. Mina? Statlander? Megan Bayne (again?), Thekla?
Instead, let's have Mercedes win it. Her "downfall" when she eventually has to lose all the titles one by one could be a fun storyline.
TNT Championship Match
Adam Cole (C) vs Kyle Fletcher
I like Adam Cole but boy has his run as TNT Champ been stale or what? Kind of like Daniel Garcia. I don't know why.. it just didn't work. Adam barely defended the title and didn't really have many open challenges. It's like when Daniel Garcia was the Champ, he was still doing Trios Matches more than Singles matches. The time has come to put it on Kyle Fletcher. He deserves it.
Will Ospreay & Swerve Strickland vs The Young Bucks
If the Young Bucks lose, they aren't EVPs anymore. If Swerve and Ospreay lose, they can't challenge for the World Title for 1 year
I can't see Swerve and Ospreay losing here because if they do... do they still help Hangman in the main event? But I do like the potential story here if they do lose. Ospreay was the one that mentioned the stipulation so to have Swerve get really pissed off at Ospreay could be a great feud. Or they can both go on to win the Tag Titles first since they can't challenge for the main title. I'm glad they at least said 1 year though, unlike Cody when he stupidly said "forever".
And at the same time, even if The Young Bucks lose, nothing really happens anyway. So I'm going with Ospreay and Swerve here!
Men's Casino Gauntlet Match
Mark Briscoe #1 and MJF #2
These gauntlet matches are always fun since it's like a reverse Royal Rumble. I'm lowkey wishing for a 30 man gauntlet but that might be too insane. Who makes a surprise appearance for this? I really don't know. I hope Keith Lee shows up.. he's been out for far too long. Orange Cassidy? He had a torn pec so I don't know if he's ready. I have a feeling that we'll definitely see Darby Allin in this match too. My pick for the winner is MJF though since they kind of also foreshadowed him vs Hangman in the future.
Women's Casino Gauntlet Match
Kris Statlander #1 and Megan Bayne #2
I'm sure we can expect the usual suspects to be in this match. Willow, Anna Jay, Thekla, Mina, Thunder Rosa, Queen Aminata, Julia Hart, Skye Blue, Athena, etc. I think Athena has to win this one. My guess for a surprise appearance will be Dr. Britt Baker.
AEW World Trios Championship
The Opps (C) vs Deathriders
I really wish they'd feature the Trios Title more often. The Opps never seem to defend it either. Which makes it sad to say that it doesn't quite matter who wins here. I don't expect the Deathriders to win though, because if Mox loses the World Title, it'd be weird for them to have the titles while Mox lost his.
So yeah, thanks for reading.
Can't wait!

My picks in no particular order:
Hangman
Omega
Mone
Fletcher
Ospreay/Strickland
Fletcher
Hurt Syndicate
The Ops
Gauntlet I’m not sure so I’ll say Darby comes back and wins it
If Moxley and mone both win I’ll lose it but I can also see it happening (if Darby is the one to take title from Moxley, but it’s hangman’s time)
Hangman
