After a promo video telling the story of how All In came to be, Cody Rhodes, Benard The Business Bear walked out to start the show and the crowd got their “All In” chants out of the way.
Here are the bullet points from the intro:

- Names for Starrcast were listed
- It was mentioned that CM Punk will be at Pro Wrestling Tees doing an autograph signing the day before All In. Nothing else was mentioned about Punk.
- There are no corporate sponsors for the event
Cody Rhodes came out next:
- Cody said “All In isn’t about a bet, it’s about a feeling he has in common with The Young Bucks.”
- They want to break the status quo and give us elite wrestling
- A Flip Gordon chant breaks out, which Cody no-sold by saying, “thank you”
- Cody once again mentioned that CM Punk will be here signing at Pro Wrestling Tees before All In.
- Cody said he wanted to talk about another brand but and said he will let his next guest talk about it.
- Then Cody introduced Billy Corgan.
NWA Owner Billy Corgan got a little bit of a “Billy” chant before he started speaking:
- Corgan said that the NWA will be involved in All In and that the NWA World Heavyweight Championship will be defended at the event.
- Billy Corgan said he was told by Steve Austin that Chicago is one of the best wrestling cities on the planet.
- Cody announced that he will be the one challenging for the NWA Title.
The next person to come out is Tessa Blanchard. She spoke about her family name and how she has to take a minute sometimes to ask how they got there, and that All In is something special. Tessa says she’s proud to be a part of it. She continued to put over the event and the women that have already been announced for All In.
Hangman Adam Page and Marty Scurll came out next to a loud “whoop whoop” chant.
Marty then opened the floor for questions.
- One person just wanted to tell them that they looked handsome..
- They were asked if Joey Ryan would be at “All In” and some “kick his ass” chants started. Hangman asks for the next question which prompted some “violence” chants from the crowd after Scurll said that there would be no violence.
- Some guy from the Flat Earth Press asked about talking to Cody to book Flip Gordon at All In. Marty said that he doesn’t actually hate Flip but that there are only so many high spot high flyers they can book for the show. He adds that people don’t want to see Flip Gordon which started a “we want Flip” chant.
- Marty then asked the guy from the Flat Earth Press to walk up to the stage. He does and they take off his hat and reveal that it was Flip Gordon wearing a fake mustache.
- The crowd started chanting for Flip, and then he superkicks Marty Scurll before tearing off his shirt to reveal a “Book Flip” shirt underneath. Then Hangman Page puts Flip through one of the tables via a brutal spinebuster.
- Marty Scurll pulls Hangman Page off of Flip and they leave.
The press conference continues with Flip Gordon selling the table spot right next to Jenn Decker.
The Young Bucks come out next. They said that it’s awkward to see Flip on the ground next to them, so Benard The Business Bear comes out to take Flip away.
- The Young Bucks announce that Flip Gordon is still not booked for All In
- They said that the tickets are cheap because there is only one number that they care about, and that’s 10,000 because they want to fill the arena.
- They go on to put over their Hot Topic and Funko Pop deals, and claim they will fill the Sears Centre because of them.
- Then Nick Jackson tweets out the announcement that REY MYSTERIO IS ALL IN.
