Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.

The 2023 All In, also promoted as All In London at Wembley Stadium or simply All In London, was the second All In professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event. It was the first edition of the event to be produced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW) after the inaugural All In was held independently in September 2018, which subsequently inspired the formation of AEW in January 2019. The event took place on August 27, 2023, at Wembley Stadium in London, England. This marked AEW's debut in the United Kingdom, their first PPV event held outside of North America, and the company's first event to be held in an association football stadium.
All In London marked the first professional wrestling event to be held at present day Wembley Stadium, with the stadium itself promoting it as part of the 100th anniversary of Wembley. AEW has subsequently promoted the event as the first professional wrestling event at the venue in over 30 years, after WWE's SummerSlam in 1992, which was held at the original Wembley Stadium. The event set AEW's new attendance and revenue record on the first day sales alone, breaking the 2021 Grand Slam's previous record of 20,177 fans and $1 million. Its final attendance figure of 81,035 broke the paid attendance record for a professional wrestling event, overtaking WrestleMania 32's record of 80,709. It is the third largest overall attendance in professional wrestling history behind days 1 and 2 of Collision in Korea, events co-promoted by New Japan Pro-Wrestling and World Championship Wrestling. The event generated an estimated live gate revenue of over $9 million, breaking Collision in Korea day 2's previous record of $8.5 million.
Eleven matches were contested at the event, including two on the Zero Hour pre-show. In the main event, MJF defeated Adam Cole to retain the AEW World Championship. In other prominent matches, Saraya defeated Hikaru Shida, Toni Storm, and Dr. Britt Baker, D. M. D. in a four-way match to win the AEW Women's World Championship, FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) defeated The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship, and in the opening bout, CM Punk defeated Samoa Joe to retain the "Real World Championship".
