AEW All In: Texas kicked off with a surprise before the first bell even rang. Former longtime TNA Wrestling figure Josh Matthews made a shocking appearance during the Zero Hour pre-show panel, catching fans off guard with his sudden arrival.
Matthews joined Renee Paquette and others on the pre-show desk, immediately generating buzz by confirming his presence in Arlington. Its great to be here in Texas for this pay-per-view, Matthews said, clearly excited to be part of the AEW broadcast.
When asked about the upcoming clash between Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada, Matthews didnt hold back. This match could absolutely shift the future of AEW, he said, noting the long-term stakes involved no matter who walks away the winner.
Matthews left TNA Wrestling in February 2025 after a decade-long run, stepping away from a key commentary and production role with the company. While its not yet clear what his long-term plans with AEW might be, his on-screen presence today sparked speculation that more appearances could be on the way.
