AEW All Out: Live results, highlights and grades
Joey Janela vs. Darby Allin vs. Jimmy Havoc
As the bell rang, Havoc went to the outside and immediately pulled out chairs and a table. Havoc also pulled out a staple gun. He stapled himself and said bring it. They ran at him and all three went to the outside. Allin and Janela taped Havoc to a chair, put thumbtacks in his mouth, and then taped his mouth shut. Wow. Allin hit a tope on Janela before hitting a flying armdrag and then a flipping stunner on Janela.
Allin climbed to the top rope and Havoc motioned to Allin to bring it. Allin hit a flip dive off the top rope onto Havoc, who crashed threw the chair. Allin went for the Coffin Drop on Janela, but Janela cut him off and hit the Emerald Flowsion right into the apron. Janela pulled a tennis racket out from under the ring before throwing it away. I wonder who that was a reference to? Janela setup a table on the floor. Havoc ripped off the tape from his face and spit the thumbtacks out into his hand and threw them at Janela!
Havoc took a chair, a staple gun, and a piece of paper into the ring. Havoc gave Janela a papercut between the index and middle finger. Havoc setup a chair in the corner, stapled Janela, and then did a monkey flip, but Janela held onto the chair and landed in a seated position! Havoc did a papercut on Janela’s mouth, but Janela got up and hit a brainbuster on the chair! Janela then hit a sunset flip off the apron through the table on Allin!
Janela got up and went for a moonsault to the floor on Havoc, but Havoc moved and Joey just splatted to the floor. That was horrifying, and easily the worst bump of the match. Havoc hit Janela with a tray full of biscuits and then rolled the barrel to ringside. You might say he rolled out the barrel. Havoc and Janela ended up back in the ring, but Allin came in with a skateboard with the bottom covered in thumbtacks. Allin jumped off the turnbuckle and landed with the skateboard on Janela’s back. He kicked out.
Allin put Havoc through a table, put Havoc on the steps, and grabbed a barrel. Havoc went for a Coffin Drop from the top rope with the barrel, but Havoc moved and Allin crashed through the barrel onto the steps. Janela hit a flying elbow drop on Havoc, but he kicked out. Allin brought a barrel into the ring and put Janela onto the chest of Havoc. Havoc got up and hit a suplex onto the barrel and then hit an Acid Rainmaker onto the barrel for the pinfall!
Result: Jimmy Havoc
Rating: ***½
Wow. Just wow. The worst bump of that match, by far, was the moonsault to the floor. That thud was horrifying. Everything else, despite being violent, was relatively safe.
