The much-anticipated Stadium Stampede match lineup at AEW All In 2023 was finalized during the latest episode of Dynamite, last night. As seen on the show, Jon Moxley defeated Rey Fenix in the opening match after which Blackpool Combat Club attacked Fenix. This led Eddie Kingston to come out with his buddies to make the save.
This also led to Santana and Ortiz making their return to AEW TV to take out Kingston. Meanwhile, Fenix was declared hurt and he was taken out of the arena on a stretcher. This was reportedly done to pull Fenix from AEW All In 2023, as he can’t travel to the United Kingdom due to visa issues.
Meanwhile, the full lineup for the Stadium Stampede matchup was declared for AEW All In 2023 where Santana and Ortiz will team up with the Blackpool Combat Club’s Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, and Claudio Castagnoli to face Best Friends – the team of Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta, Orange Cassidy, Penta El Zero Miedo, and Eddie Kingston. This will be the third Stadium Stampede match in AEW history, with the first two taking place at the 2021 and 2022 editions of Double or Nothing.

Also on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite: Fyter Fest Night Two, Swerve Strickland brought Prince Nana to fire AR Fox from the Mogul Affiliates after he was pinned in their tornado tag team match against Darby Allin and Nick Wayne. Brian Cage also appeared to launch an attack on Fox before punishing him with the Drill Claw.
Afterward, Allin, Wayne, and Sting appeared on Dynamite to question Strickland about Fox’s replacement in the already announced tag team coffin match at AEW All In 2023 against himself and Sting. Christian Cage and TNT Champion Luchasaurus then came out as Cage revealed blasted Wayne by taking a shot at his father, the late Buddy Wayne.
A few moments later, Darby Allin & Sting vs. Swerve Strickland & Christian Cage in a Coffin Match at AEW All In 2023 was made official. Fox was thereby replaced by Cage in the match as his latest stint with the AEW came to an end. He first joined the Mogul Embassy in late July after betraying Allin. Before that, he used to be in a tag team with Top Flight for some random matches on AEW TV.
Also on Dynamite, Billy Gunn returned and challenged the House of Black trio of Malakai Black, Brody King, and Buddy Matthews for the trios tag titles alongside The Acclaimed – Max Caster and Anthony Bowens. Gunn is thereby not retiring as this match was also officially announced for AEW All In 2023.
