It’s main event time!

After we see quick “cinematic experience” footage of LFI violently beating down some wrestlers, we shoot back inside the arena where the theme for Samoa Joe hits. Out comes the reigning ROH TV Champion and “The King of Television.”

Samoa Joe grabs a mic as Jim Ross heads to the commentary desk ahead of tonight’s ALL IN All-Star 8-Man Tag-Team main event. Joe gets on the mic and informs us that he has been told if he interferes in tonight’s main event, he would jeopardize his ALL IN bout against CM Punk.

He wraps up his promo and his theme hits again as he leaves the ring and heads to join J.R., Kevin Kelly and Caprice Coleman on the call for tonight’s headline bout.

The first person to come out is apparently the mystery wrestler, as Action Bronson’s song hits as the theme for HOOK, who makes his way down to the ring.

Out next is Darby Allin and Sting, and then the familiar sounds of CM Punk’s theme hits. He makes his way out to a lot of boos, which are oddly left in on this taped show. He settles in the ring with his team and we head to a pre-match commercial break after Joe uses Terry Funk’s “egg-sucking dog” line as an homage on commentary.

When we return from the break, “Switchblade” Jay White comes out with his cardboard cut-out of himself and the rest of Bullet Club Gold by his side — The Gunns and Juice Robinson. All of them head to the ring together, even though Jay White is the only member of the group involved in this match.

Christian Cage’s countdown theme comes on next and the faux TNT Champion heads out with the real title-holder, his monster, Luchasaurus. The two head to the ring together.

Finally, The Mogul Embassy duo of Shane “Swerve” Strickland and “The Machine” Brian Cage come out accompanied by Prince Nana. All of the guys in this ALL IN All-Star 8-Man Tag-Team main event are now settled in the ring and ready to rock and roll.

The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with our final match of the evening here on the final show before Sunday’s ALL IN show. The AEW Collision: Fyter Fest 2023 main event kicks off with Punk and Swerve representing their teams coming out of the gate.

Punk and Swerve go at it for a few minutes and then we see Sting and Darby Allin end up in the ring double-teaming Luchasaurus. Punk tags back in and the fans boo. He goes for a splash on Luchasaurus in the corner but Luchasaurus catches him by the throat. Luchasaurus lays out Punk just as we head to a mid-match commercial break.

When we return from the break, we see Jay White working over CM Punk in the ring, as the heel team are still in a clear-cut offensive lead. HOOK eventually gets the hot tag and he begins shifting the momentum in his teams favor until a numbers disadvantage sees him beaten down on the floor outside of the ring.

Soon after this, we shift gears and head into our final mid-match commercial break of the evening as our ALL IN All-Star 8-Man Tag-Team main event continues here on the special ALL IN go-home, Fyter Fest edition of AEW Collision on TNT.

As we settle back in from our final advertising time-out of the show, we see HOOK is still being isolated in the ring, where he is currently being manhandled by “The Machine” Brian Cage. HOOK finally hits one spot that buys him some time. He goes for the tag but Cage stops him. HOOK suplexes him and then finally does make the tag.

Punk finally takes the hot tag and the crowd still boos loudly as he comes in like a man possessed, taking out everyone in sight en route to shifting the offensive momentum back into his team’s favor. Punk beats down Jay White, now the legal man, and he hits a top-rope flying elbow smash. He does a “Macho Man” Randy Savage type swirl and then calls for the GTS.

Everyone ends up filtering into the ring and hitting their key high spots and finishers. When Punk has Brian Cage hoisted up for the GTS, he stops and glares at Samoa Joe. He then glares at him after hitting it and slaps Joe’s own rear naked choke submission finisher on him for the win. After the match is over, Joe makes sure and then heads into the ring to beat up on Punk since the rule was only that he couldn’t interfere in the match.

Jack Perry runs down to ringside and he begins beating on HOOK on the floor. HOOK grabs a kendo stick and begins wearing it out on Perry’s back. Sting and Swerve are shown fighting. Sting holds him and Darby Allin blasts him with a chair. The camera pans over and shows Joe ramming Punk into the steel steps.

Jim Ross is still stuck in the old days by comparing this to a bar fight. A lot of people use kendo sticks and ring steps in bar fights these days, right? And title belts and steel folding chairs? Big suplexes on stairs in a crowd of thousands of people? Most bars are set up like that, yes? The brawling with all of the pairings for ALL IN continue and then the camera follows Joe to the back as he flattens Punk. That’s how the final show before ALL IN goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!

Winners: CM Punk, Darby Allin, Sting & HOOK
