Texas, News On The Rehearsals
AEW reportedly kept the outcomes of several matches at AEW All In: Texas tightly under wraps ahead of the pay-per-view event.
According to a report from Fightful Select, the company was very secretive about the match finishes, with multiple bouts having alternate endings planned — many of which were crafted by the talent themselves. However, this did not include the Toni Storm vs. Mercedes Mone or Hangman Page vs. Jon Moxley matches, both of which were said to have been finalized well in advance. In fact, Storm vs. Mone was reportedly in the works for months.
Rehearsals for the pay-per-view event were held at a confidential location on Friday night.
