PAC is back in All Elite Wrestling, and his return completely upended the Coffin Match between Jon Moxley and Darby Allin at All Out, directly handing Moxley the victory. Emerging from within the coffin itself, “The Bastard” ambushed Allin in the match’s closing moments, cementing an apparent new allegiance with his former rival.
The bout was a violent, bloody brawl that spilled throughout the Toronto arena. While Moxley’s Death Riders stablemates made their presence felt early, Moxley eventually sent Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, and Daniel Garcia to the back, leaving him to fight Allin one-on-one.
A pivotal moment came from Bryan Danielson at the commentary desk. After trying to remain objective, Danielson declared his full support for Allin and slid a plastic bag into the ring. This was a direct callback to AEW WrestleDream 2024, the event where Moxley choked Danielson unconscious with a bag and kicked off the entire Death Riders storyline.
Allin used the weapon to gain control, suffocating Moxley before attempting to place him in a second coffin brought to ringside after the first was destroyed. But as Allin opened the lid, PAC emerged and immediately attacked him. PAC heaved Allin over the ropes and through a ringside table, then stuffed the battered challenger into a bodybag.
From there, Moxley simply had to kick the coffin lid shut to secure the win. The match concluded with the rest of the Death Riders returning to carry the coffin away.
The appearance marked PAC’s first time on AEW television since May, when he was sidelined by an ankle injury. He returned sporting a new, shorter hairstyle. For Darby Allin, the defeat was his second consecutive loss in a Coffin Match, bringing his record in the stipulation to one win and two losses.
