MJF & Adam Cole vs. Aussie Open set for AEW All In Zero Hour pre-show

Posted on by Josh Nason

Hours before they will take each other on for the AEW World title, MJF & Adam Cole will challenge Aussie Open for the Ring of Honor Tag Team titles as part of the AEW All In Zero Hour pre-show.

The pay-per-view event is set for London’s Wembley Stadium on Sunday, August 27th.

On this past Wednesday’s Dynamite, Cole said during a promo with MJF that he has never won the titles in his time there and suggested to him that they challenge for them ahead of their singles match against each other.

After a squash win on Friday’s Rampage, Aussie Open (Mark Davis & Kyle Fletcher) accepted the challenge after mocking MJF & Cole. The duo won the titles at July’s Death Before Dishonor and will be looking for their third title defense.

Former adversaries MJF & Cole were paired up in the recent Blind eliminator tag team tournament to earn an AEW Tag Team title shot. After winning it, they fell short in their challenge of reigning champions FTR.

Here’s the updated card:

  • AEW World Champion MJF defends against Adam Cole
  • AEW Tag Team Champions FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) defend against The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson)
  • AEW Women’s Champion Hikaru Shida defends against Toni Storm, Saraya and either Britt Baker or The Bunny
  • Sting & Darby Allin vs. Swerve Strickland & AR Fox in a coffin match
  • Zero Hour pre-show: ROH Tag Team Champions Aussie Open (Mark Davis & Kyle Fletcher) defend against MJF & Adam Cole

Ruby Soho suffers broken nose at AEW All Out Zero Hour

Posted on by Ethan Renner

AEW’s Ruby Soho suffered a broken nose in the opening match of Sunday’s All Out Zero Hour event. 

Soho’s injury came at the conclusion of the Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo vs. Ortiz and Soho AAA Mixed Tag Team title match as Soho took a Tay KO from Melo directly to the face. Soho immediately covered her face with her hands as Melo pinned her, then was checked on by referee Rick Knox. Soho continued to hold her hands over her face as she left the ringside area. 

Earlier in the contest, Soho took an awkward landing on her neck, and also landed awkwardly on a superplex to the floor spot, appearing to land with her tailbone directly on the floor. 

Melo and Guevara won the match to retain the AAA World Mixed Tag Team Championship, concluding the Guevara and Melo vs. Ortiz and Soho trilogy that began on the August 26 Rampage episode.

Eddie Kingston vs. Tomohiro Ishii set for AEW All Out Zero Hour pre-show

Posted on by Josh Nason

A rematch between Eddie Kingston vs. Tomohiro Ishii will be one of the featured matches on the renamed pre-show for Sunday’s AEW All Out.

In a nod to the Ring of Honor pay-per-view pre-shows, Sunday’s pre-show will be called Zero Hour. It’s unknown if the nomenclature will apply to future AEW PPVs.

AEW & ROH head Tony Khan announced the news and match on Tuesday, saying the free show would be “loaded” and start at 7 PM Eastern on YouTube and their other social channels.

The two first clashed at May’s NJPW Capital Collision with Ishii picking up the win in sixteen minutes.

Kingston was originally tabbed to face Sammy Guevara, but a backstage confrontation between the two resulted in a two-week suspension for Kingston and the match was scrapped.

Here’s the current card for Sunday’s event from Hoffman Estates, Illinois, with more matches to be announced this week:

  • Bryan Danielson vs. Chris Jericho
  • AEW World Trios Championship finals
  • AEW Interim Women’s World Championship: Toni Storm vs. Britt Baker vs. Jamie Hayter vs. Hikaru Shida
  • TBS Champion Jade Cargill defends against Athena
  • AEW Tag Team Champions Swerve In Our Glory defend against The Acclaimed
  • Jungle Boy vs. Christian Cage
  • FTR & Wardlow vs. Jay Lethal & Motor City Machine Guns
  • Casino Ladder Match
  • Ricky Starks vs. Powerhouse Hobbs
  • Pre-show: Eddie Kingston vs. Tomohiro Ishii
