All Elite Wrestling’s All In Pay-Per-View took place at Wembley Stadium on August 25th 2024. The second such event, it also proved to be a show that would break historical records.
At the PPV, seven wrestlers (counting the televised pre-show) were able to claim to have wrestled across four of the biggest wrestling venues across several continents.
These are Wembley Stadium in London, England, Madison Square Garden in New York, USA, the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan, and Arena Mexico in Mexico City, Mexico.
Prior to the 2024 event, only four men held this distinction. This diverse class comprises of Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley, Juice Robinson, and Earthquake.
One of the reasons this group is so limited is that there have only been three wrestling shows at Wembley Stadium.
At 2024’s event, these are the seven names who were able to drastically expand that list.
Bryan Danielson
At All In, Bryan Danielson main evented, defeating the AEW World Heavyweight champion Swerve Strickland in a match with Bryan’s career on the line. Having attended the show, I can say the match was a brilliant bout – not so much for the wrestling, per se, but the emotion, with 50,000 fans cheering on “The American Dragon”.
With Bryan submitting Strickland and the cathartic Final Countdown striking as confetti rained down, Danielson may have won but it was a fitting final high for a man who was so influenced by British wrestling.
Also in 2024, he was able to add both competing in the Tokyo Dome and Arena Mexico to his CV. In Japan, his most noteworthy outing was at Wrestle Kingdom 10 against Kazuchika Okada while in Mexico he fought two matches, one a singles victory over Blue Panther and the other as a part of the Blackpool Combat Club. He had previously worked six matches at Madison Square Garden from 2010-2015, his biggest match being the defense of his World Heavyweight title in 2012.
Kazuchika Okada
According to some of those in the business, Kazuchika Okada just may the best wrestling currently breathing. He should also be credited for the popularity of his Rainmaker finisher, managing to make a clothesline fashionable as a match-ender in the 21st century.
Some of Okada’s greatest moments occurred in the Tokyo Dome, including stunning bouts against Hiroshi Tanahashi, Tetsuya Naito, and Kota Ibushi. Of historical importance is 2017, where “The Rainmaker” had first first of his acclaimed series against Kenny Omega at Wrestle Kingdom 11.
He has also had four matches at Arena Mexico, though only one since his breakthrough, which took place in 2018. His Madison Square Garden match was on a New Japan Pro Wrestling and Ring of Honor supercard in 2019 in which he retained his IWGP World Heavyweight belt over Jay White.
At All In, Okada would be an unexpected entrant in the Casino Gauntlet match, arriving to a thunderous reception, though would fail to win the match.
Zack Sabre Jr.
British wrestling is filled with its fair share of grappling greats, from Billy Robinson to Johnny Saint to William Regal. Today, nobody is a greater technician than Zack Sabre Jr, a man who grapples like a product of the Snake Pit and strikes like the student of a Japanese dojo.
His painful and intense style has perhaps courted the most success in Japan, where he has become a fixture of the Tokyo Dome, winning the IWGP world title there in 2024 at Wrestle Kingdom 18. His most recent match at the Dome took place in January of this year (2025), retaining his IWGP belt over Ricochet.
He has also competed in Arena Mexico, including in the Torneo Cibernetico Internationacional won by Mistico (WWE’s Sin Cara). At the 2019 ROH/NJPW G1 supercard at MSG, he would defend and retain his RevPro world belt.
The British native would appear in the same Casino Gauntlet bout to a monster pop, tying up with everyone from Orange Cassidy to Jeff Jarrett.
Tomohiro Ishii
Tomohiro Ishii is a star wherever he goes. With an unrefined, hard-hitting style, distinctive look, and not adverse to staring at the lights, wherever Ishii goes, fans get unglued, knowing they are about to see something diabolical!
Ishii competed at All In’s Zero Hour pre-show in a mixed gender tag bout. He teamed with the popular female performer Willow Nightingale to fight Kris Statlander and her manager Stokely Hathaway. Ishii got the win for his team when he pinned the hapless manager with a powerbomb followed by a sliding lariat.
Ishii has wrestled at the Tokyo Dome a total of 24 times over a span of 20 years. In 2013, he had a few matches in Mexico, mostly as a part of the La Ola Amarilla tag team with partners Shigeo Okamura and Namajague. His only Madison Square Garden appearance was on the aforementioned cross-promotional event where he competed in the Honor Battle Royal won by Kenny King.
Jay Lethal
Most associated with the Ring of Honor brand, Lethal has also made appearances in Japan and Mexico with the promotion.
His MSG appearance saw him fail to capture the ROH world title in a three-way ladder match. In Japan, he fought the Canadian star Michael Elgin in a match where he successfully defended his ROH title championship during his dominant 427-day title reign. His Arena Mexico match took place back in 2008 as a part of a Super Friday show featuring both wrestlers from TNA and CMLL, the biggest promotion in Mexico (and the world’s oldest, still-running wrestling entity).
Like Ishii, Lethal also competed on the All In Zero Hour pre-show, being on the losing side of a 16-man tag team encounter.
Rocky Romero
On the other side of the 16-man tag match was veteran performer Rocky Romero, whose team won after Dante Martin pinned Daivari.
An accomplished global performer, Romero has wrestled a jaw-dropping 89 bouts at Arena Mexico. The most recent of which occurred in December 2024 when he lost to Flip Gordon in a match for the World Historic Middleweight title.
He has also competed at the Tokyo Dome 15 times since his first match there way back in 2002. His solitary MSG appearance saw him take part in the mass, 42-minute battle royal at the joint ROH and NJPW supershow.
Mark Briscoe
Perhaps the most surprising name on this list is Mark Briscoe. Whilst undoubtedly a credited tag team wrestler, his character of a simple and toothless hardcore backyard performer is far from the bright lights of New York or Tokyo. He is more the kind of performer to wrestle in a dimly-lit shed in Possumneck, Mississippi, Smuteye, Alabama, or Hog Liver, Georgia – all of which are real places.
His match at Madison Square Garden saw him and his brother, the late Jay Briscoe, unsuccessfully take on the Guerillas of Destiny for their ROH tag belts in a four-team match. In Japan, The Briscoes won the Six-Man tag belts at Wrestle Kingdom 10 when teaming with the acclaimed comedy performer Toru Yano. Additionally, the brothers competed at Arena Mexico on a few occasions, including emerging victorious as part of Team International over Team Mexico in an hour-long multi-man effort.
Mark Briscoe was perhaps the most forgotten face in the Casino Gauntlet match, though who could really stand out in a match starring the returning ‘hometown boy’ Nigel McGuinness, the debuting Ricochet, and some of the most standout performers on the globe?
To end on a tragic note, this meant that Jay was able to do something his brother Jay never could before his untimely death in a car crash at just 38 in 2023 – compete at Wembley Stadium.
Who Could Be Next To Break The Record?
Due to All In, the number of wrestlers to hold the distinction has nearly tripled, increasing 175%.
The event also means that a number of performers are closer, in fact just one match away, from obtaining the accolade.
For example, Will Ospreay, Christian Cage, and Jeff Jarrett just need to compete in the Arena Mexico while Pac and Matt Taven just need to wrestle at the Tokyo Dome. Oddly, Kamala (“The Mississippi Mauler” Jim Harris to UK fans) only missed out on performing at the Tokyo Dome too.
Others, such as Claudio Castagnoli, who wrestled in the Tokyo Dome in 2025, have accomplished this accolade since.
Nonetheless, it is a hell of a claim for any wrestler to have to show just how internationally revered they truly are as a performer.
