On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, TNA World Champion Nic Nemeth expressed his support for Toni Storm vs. Mariah May as the potential main event for AEW All In 2024.
Nemeth said, “Toni has really found a way, no matter what, to always have some kind of sound clip. Whether it’s Comic Con, or this, ‘Are you prepared to die? Because I am.’ Even if they had no heat and nobody cared about that fight, that would be played all over the place. You could feel it in the crowd just hearing the clip, you could hear it. They were begging for Toni, their favorite all of a sudden, to get some retribution, and that match, I would love to see it main event. It probably won’t, man, but they have the fire behind it, and damn it, it’s fun to be watching this unfold.“
AEW All In 2024 takes place on August 25 at Wembley Stadium in London.
During the same podcast, ECW legend Tommy Dreamer discussed the brutal chair spot at AEW Blood & Guts 2024, which he saw as an homage to himself and Raven.
Team AEW defeated Team Elite in the Blood & Guts match last week on Dynamite.
During the match, Jack Perry was handcuffed to the cage and took an unprotected chair shot from Mark Briscoe.
Dreamer said, “I really enjoyed it. Mark, big ECW fan, him and his brother used to go to the arena. This business is all about, again, capturing moments. The other part is it’s either a homage or ‘man I saw this.’ Headshots in 2024 shouldn’t happen. That would be my bottom line. If there’s other ways around it, that’s the thing. Like, Raven, at times, has hit me with a chair and it felt like a fly landed on my head, never hurt. But it’s also the bump, it’s all the stuff when you are that prone and that … I call it execution style, when there’s no place you can go but take one on the dome.”
As we’ve been reporting here on eWn, a gimmick chair was used for the unprotected shot.
