Adam Page wins bloody Texas Death Match to win AEW World Championship over Jon Moxley at All In: Texas
Page needed to do anything and everything to defeat Jon Moxley for the title as the two competed in a Texas Death Match. He also had to hope that there were enough people on his side to help thwart any interference from Moxley's Death Riders faction.
Early in the match, violence was on the menu. Page busted Moxley open when he stabbed him in the head with a fork multiple times. But Moxley had a bucket of tricks of his own. He introduced glass in the ring and would drag Page's body through it at one point during the match.
Texas Death Match guaranteed that Page and Moxley's fight would be a bloody affair. The carnage that foreign objects could bring was only the tip of the iceberg. Moxley hit a piledriver on Page in the middle of the ring while Page returned the favor with a scary move of his own, powerbombing Moxley's spine onto two chairs.
The match took a twist when Marina Shafir got involved and tried to thwart Page's momentum. "Hangman" then put Shafir through a table. Gabe Kidd, Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta got involved in the match to try to help Moxley, but to no avail.
Page received some support from Will Ospreay, who team up with Swerve Strickland, to defeat the Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) and strip them of their executive vice president titles. Kidd, Castagnoli and Yuta took out Ospreay and then smashed his head in between a chair.
Back in the ring, Moxley took control. He hit Page with a Death Rider on a chair. But Moxley still couldn't keep Page down for the 10 count. As The Death Riders tried to get more involved, Page had another person in his corner – a returning Bryan Danielson.
Danielson came into the ring masked before he dropped Yuta. The Arlington, Texas, crowd went berserk. High above the stadium, Darby Allin dropped into the match and hit a Coffin Drop on The Death Riders and helped them flee the ring.
Page hit a Buckshot Lariat on Moxley but still couldn't get him down.
Cue up the Young Bucks. The Jacksons came into the ring and hit Page with a double superkick. Still, Page wasn't going to be counted out. On the outside of the ring, Strickland came down with a chain and knocked out Matthew and Nicholas Jackson.
Strickland then looked into the fiery eyes of Page. Out of all the two had been through in their intense rivalry over the years, would Strickland help out his nemesis?
Indeed, he would.
Strickland threw the chain into the ring for Page. "Hangman" then used it to attack Moxley.
Page then got Moxley onto the apron and tightened the chain around his neck. Moxley, with nowhere to go and no one to save him, had to tap out.
Page won the AEW World Championship for the second time in his career. He took the title out of the briefcase where Moxley had it since his victory over Danielson months ago.
It's unclear what will happen with Moxley and The Death Riders now. Page will get to embark on a new journey as champion.
But earlier in the day, a new contender emerged for the AEW World Championship.
Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) was told by his manager MVP to work smarter, not harder. He did just that at AEW All In: Texas and it turned out it was the strategy he needed all along.
MJF took himself out of most danger, bided his time and capitalized. Mark Briscoe thought he had put together the perfect move on Roderick Strong but as soon as he was going to go for the cover, MJF interfered and threw him out of the ring. MJF then pinned Strong to win.
Anthony Bowens, Bandido, Brody King, Josh Alexander, a returning Juice Robinson, Konosuke Takeshita, Kota Ibushi, Max Caster, Mistico, Ricochet and The Beast Mortos also competed in the match.
MJF has been an AEW world champion before.

Sean "Diddy" Combs wants to go back to Madison Square Garden, his attorney says
As Sean "Diddy" Combs awaits his sentencing, his lead attorney Marc Agnifilo sat down with CBS News' Jericka Duncan in his first network interview since the highly publicized trial in which a New York jury found Combs guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted him of more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. When discussing the hip-hop mogul's future goals, Agnifilo said Combs told him "he's going to be back at Madison Square Garden." Asked about what Combs wants the public to know, Agnifilo explained that Combs has been reflecting on "the blessings that he's been given, on the imperfections that I think he sees in himself." "I think he wants to get out of jail, reestablish a loving, present relationship with all of his seven children. He wants to take care of his mother," the defense attorney added. "I think he's someone who's always going to strive to do something, you know, exceptional and probably demanding and challenging," Agnifilo said about Combs' potential plans for the future. "But I think the most demanding and challenging thing in front of him right now is to get back with his kids and get back with his mother, and the people who love him and miss him."

Filmmakers, San Francisco Japantown museum reflect on 80-years since first atomic bomb
Inside a tiny museum in San Francisco's Japantown, there is a powerful message about the atrocities of the atomic bomb. "Americans see the bomb as a beautiful mushroom cloud, and the Japanese who were on the ground see it as ground zero, the devastation, the 70,000 people who lost their lives in an instant," said Rosalyn Tonai, Director of the National Japanese American Historical Society. This summer, the NJAHS resurrected an exhibit from 30 years ago to remember the victims of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs that the United States dropped on Japan on Aug. 6 and 9, 1945. The two bombings ended World War II, with the Japanese surrendering less than a week later, on Aug. 15. The exhibit also includes a single relic that serves as a haunting reminder, a doll that was recovered from the rubble in Nagasaki. "An American family brought it in and let us know that they had kept it all these years. It was given to them by a family that survived the atomic blast," said Tonai. The survivor stories are what Tonai wants people to experience and understand. The display also features firsthand accounts from those who survived the atomic blasts, including Jack Dairiki, who still lives in San Francisco. Dairiki was a Japanese American kid visiting family in Hiroshima who became stuck in Japan because of the war. On Aug. 6, 1945, he was outside a factory on the outskirts of the city when the first bomb dropped. "We saw three aircraft coming above us," said Dairiki, during a 2015 interview with KPIX. "At that time, the bomb exploded, all the factory windows went out, it flew over my head. I weighed 100 pounds and was floating in the air." And now a new documentary titled "Atomic Echoes" by filmmakers Victoria Kelly and Karin Tanabe is shedding even more light on the devastation. "Few Americans understand what happened under the mushroom cloud, "said Tanabe. "We all see the exact same image, which really covers up the atrocities, and then we stop there in the history books." Tanabe's great-great uncle was part of the rebuilding effort in Hiroshima. Kelly's grandfather was an American medic sent to Nagasaki, who witnessed the effects of peak radiation sickness. He suffered from PTSD and died at the age of 42. The filmmakers interviewed several other American medics who were sent to Japan 45 days after the bombings. "They were really torn, they were really proud of their service, and all of them said, you know, we were there, and we can't ever have these bombs happen again because they were the worst thing we've ever seen," said Kelly. For Tonai, she believes the topic is still relevant today and still important to talk about. "We are the cusps of a nuclear buildup, and this is really a call for world peace," she said. "So, we really need to take a pause and take a look at the human cost and consequences of a possible nuclear fallout. Her hope is that the history that happened even eight decades ago will never repeat itself.
