AEW just rolled into Arena México in Mexico City, Mexico on August 5 for what they called Grand Slam: Mexico, and holy smokes, it was a jam-packed two-and-a-half hour event! This wasn’t some quiet night; the card was absolutely loaded with huge matchups, from championship defenses to grudge fights and massive multi-man brawls.
Championship Gold and Grudge Fights Went OFF!
Seriously, the titles were on the line big time. The Demand, the current World Trios Champions, had to defend their belts against the unexpected team of Hangman Adam Page and Brodido. You know that was going to be an insane showdown for the gold! Then, we saw Kyle Fletcher putting his International Championship on the line against “Speedball” Mike Bailey. Talk about a high-octane title defense, right? And don’t even get me started on the Mexico City Street Fight! Will Ospreay and Mark Davis went at it, no outside interference allowed, purely to finally settle their issues. You just know that one got intense.
Faction Warfare and a Shot at All In Glory!
The tag team and faction battles were absolutely next level. Mercedes Moné and Divine Dominion teamed up to clash with Willow Nightingale and The Brawling Birds. That’s a powerhouse combo right there! Then, The Don Callis Family, with Kazuchika Okada, Kevin Knight, and Hechicero, stepped into the ring to face off against Místico, Chris Jericho, and Darby Allin. What a main event caliber six-man tag! And it didn’t stop there. The Death Rider’s crew, featuring Jon Moxley, Pac, Daniel Garcia, and Wheeler Yuta, squared up against Christian Cage, Adam Copeland, and The Young Bucks in an eight-man tag that must have been pure chaos. Oh, and let’s not forget the triple threat for the #1 Spot in the Casino Gauntlet at All In, with Andrade El Ídolo, Tommaso Ciampa, and Komander all gunning for that huge opportunity.
