A recent report has unveiled insights into the talent lineup initially considered for AEW All In 2023, which had to be reshuffled due to unforeseen injuries.
According to a report from Fightful Select, prior to sustaining an arm injury during the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door II pay-per-view event against Kazuchika Okada, Bryan Danielson was under consideration to face Kenny Omega in a potential showdown at the upcoming show. While the match was in the discussion stage and not definitively confirmed, it sheds light on the creative possibilities before the injury occurred. Sources from AEW indicated that alternative plans for Omega were also being explored, adding intrigue to the event’s potential lineup. Additionally, Kenny Omega is reportedly slated to team up with Hangman Page and Kota Ibushi, forming a formidable trio against Konosuke Takeshita and Bullet Club Gold.
The report further delves into the impact of injuries on the anticipated event. The company had initially harbored hopes for Jamie Hayter’s recovery from injury in time for the show, but the latest prognosis indicates she will remain sidelined for the entirety of the year. Finally, PAC, another promising contender, was originally slated to participate in the show, but his injury status has prompted changes to the event’s original lineup.
Marked on the calendar for August 27th, AEW All In 2023 is set to grace the iconic Wembley Stadium in London, promising an electrifying spectacle. The event will be broadcast live on pay-per-view.
