All Elite Wrestling held a new edition of WrestleDream tonight, an event that featured great matches and standout moments. In the main event, Jon Moxley and Darby Allin starred in an intense battle where, despite the Death Riders' traps, Darby Allin managed to defeat the group's leader with the surprising help of Sting.

The match started explosively when Darby Allin attacked Jon Moxley after he stomped on the AEW flag. Moxley responded brutally, introducing a chain and focusing his punishment on Allin's bleeding face and mouth, assisted by Marina Shafir at ringside. The torture escalated when Moxley used a wooden spike on Allin's nail, trying to force his opponent to submit.

The battle turned into a bloodbath of traps. Allin managed to fight back using pepper spray against Moxley and the Death Riders. However, Moxley escalated the violence by taking a taser from Darby's backpack and electrocuting him, before finishing him off with a Paradigm Shift onto a chair. The beating continued when Claudio Castagnoli and PAC teamed up to execute a Gorilla Press Slam by Claudio onto the commentary table and a Death Rider onto two tables at ringside.

Despite the extreme violence, Allin refused to surrender. When Moxley tried to drown Darby by submerging his head in a fish tank, the lights went out to make way for the surprising appearance of Sting. The legend cleaned house with his bat, smashed the fish tank, and took Marina Shafir away. Allin seized the chaos to strike Moxley with the bat and apply the Scorpion Deathdrop, followed by the Coffin Drop and a Scorpion Deathlock that ultimately forced Jon Moxley to submit.
