AEW presents its biggest shows of 2026 with AEW All In London 2026 taking place Sunday August 30, 2026 from the legendary Wembley Stadium in London, England. The show, third taking place at Wembley, is on pace to sell between 45,000-50,000 seats, bring in a $6 million dollar gate, and be one of the largest AEW PPVs purchased on HBO MAX.
All of this points to All In London 2026 being a pivotal show in AEW’s history. Last year’s show in Texas felt like the feeling had finally been restored, and this year it feels like the company is not just paying off a year of fairly strong television but positioning itself for the future. The potential passing of the guard from Omega to Ospreay, a slew of young talent being put in showcase matches, and the potential “new day” for incoming talent — this is a gigantic showcase for AEW talent and the direction of the next year.
There’s a lot to discuss with this one, so let’s get right to it. AEW All In London airs on HBO MAX, Prime Video, YouTube, PPV.com, and traditional PPV avenues. Click here for more info.
The Buy-in: The pre-show for All In London 2026 airs for free on both YouTube and HBO Max beginning at 11 a.m. EST. For the sake of transparency, this article was published on the afternoon of August 29, where only one match for the Buy-In has been announced. We will update the predictions as fast we can.
Now, if one to had guess what will show up on the Buy-In, it’s a lock that Big Boom AJ and family (and fingers crossed for The Rizzler) will be at the show as AJ’s already confirmed it on his socials. If we’re going to do a big ol’ send ’em home happy with a bit of silliness, this would somehow involve AJ, Big Justice, The Rizzler, Grado, Paul Wight, Jeff Jarrett and others standing tall over a host of baddies including members of the Don Callis Family. The Big Boom-iverse matches always deliver harmless, family fun wrestling and is a nice way to warm the crowd up.
Since the pre-show is two hours I’m going to make a couple wild calls for matches:
- Grizzled Young Veterans cut a heel promo leading to The Motor City Machine Guns coming up to win their first match in AEW.
- A multi-woman tag match involving Skye Blue, Julia Hart, Harley Cameron, Kris Statlander, Mina Shirakawa, Marina Shafir, and others.
- A segment honoring British wrestling royalty featuring some of the talent Will Ospreay mentioned – Doug Williams, Jody Fleisch, etc. giving Ospreay words of encouragement.
Trios Royale Roulette for the AEW World Trios Championship:
- The Good, The Bad & The Ugly (“Hangman” Adam Page, Bandido, Brody King) (c)
- Bang Bang Gang (Jay White, Austin Gunn, and Colten Gunn)
- The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, and Roderick Strong)
- Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli, Pac, and Wheeler Yuta)
- The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, and Toa Liona)
- The Dogs (David Finlay, Clark Connors, and Gabe Kidd)
- Wild Card team
Thoughts: The match that launched a million angry tweets. Why so many people in the match? If there’s new people debuting why put it on the pre-show? Oh how insufferable all of the concern for this is. First off, if you’ve ever watched a Buy-In over the past year, you know there’s a fantastic chance of this bleeding into the main show. And what better way to get last second buys than teasing a debut, and having it bleed into the main card so you have to buy the show? While, I would have gone a different route and potentially have the newcomers debut after The Young Bucks match, it makes a ton of sense to have Austin Creed and Kofi debut on the big show itself. And yes, it has to be them. While I thought it’d be a great heel move for Swerve (who’s going to captain the wild card team) to bring in The Hurt Syndicate instead of the former New Day, this gives both Swerve and Kofi and Creed an immediate rocket to the top of the card. This is going to be a wild, wooly, car crash match up, that should result in the following.
Prediction: AND NEW … The Wild Card Team of Swerve Strickland, Austin Creed and Kofi.
AEW All In London 2026 Main Card:
Three-way match for the AEW International Championship: “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher (c) vs. “The Alpha” Konosuke Takeshita vs. “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada
Thoughts: This match is going to absolutely rule. Takeshita and Fletcher have phenomenal, main event caliber chemistry that never gets old, like a new-age Flair/Steamboat pairing. However, that’s not the storyline here. However, that’s not the storyline here. The storyline is the tension in The Don Callis Family. Callis wants Kyle to “run the play” he designed for the match, which obviously means Okada gets the win. Now, it’s also very obvious that Kyle hates this plan. So this poses a very interesting question. Does Fletcher prevent Okada from winning by winning the match himself, or does he do something that allows Takeshita to get the W (e.g. puts Soup’s foot on the rope, breaks up a pinfall post-Rainmaker) … or a bit of both? Whatever the result, this is going to lead to Fletcher’s eventual expulsion from the DCF.
Prediction: “And Still” Kyle Fletcher
Falls Count Anywhere Match for the AEW TNT Championship: “The Jet” Kevin Knight (c) vs. Darby Allin
Thoughts: Shenanigans, run-ins, plunder … debuts. Let’s get the hot takes out of the way. Mara Sade is going to debut during this match to help real-life boyfriend Kevin Knight at some point. Steve Borden aka Baby Sting is going to get in this match. And folks, it is showtime, so I think STING himself gets involved in this match. He’s likely going to do something to Rocky Romero or Trent as obviously The Don Callis Family is getting involved in this match. Going to go a bit left of center with this prediction. Kevin Knight gets the win here (with help from Sade), because the payoff here is really Speedball Mike Bailey beating The Jet, and not Darby. Or, they could be doing something to put the rocket on Baby Sting by having The Jet beat his mentor, and he challenges for the title (and wins?). Or, they could be doing something to put the rocket on Baby Sting by having The Jet beat his mentor, and he challenges for the title (and wins)?
Winner: “And Still” Kevin Knight
AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship” Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) (c) vs. The Brawling Birds (Alex Windsor and Jamie Hayter)
Thoughts: The closest thing to a layup on this card. The Bird were put together, in this writer’s opinion, to get the hometown pop at Wembley. Hayter has never wrestled in Wembley, so this will be a sweet moment for her. Given their international renown, it’d be great to see The Birds have an international open challenge for the belts so teams from The Birds’ past from the UK and Japan could challenge them. It’s also going to be great when these two break up, and Hayter turns heel. As for Divine Dominion, it’s time these two take a break from tagging (but remaining a unit) and go after singles gold in AEW and ROH.
Winners: “And New” The Brawling Birds
Continental Challenge Cup Final for the Continental Championship: Jon Moxley (c) vs. Nigel McGuinness
Thoughts: On the No Gimmicks Podcast last week I predicted Nigel would get the win. However, the more time passes, this feels like a win for Moxley. Mox is likely going to be the prime contender for Ospreay if “The Aerial Assassin” can win the World Title. As for Nigel, losing at Wembley and calling it a career would be a beautiful moment. However, Nigel winning in the UK and having a run with the Continental Title (which Mox really doesn’t need) would also be great, but it’s hard to bet against Moxley who rarely takes an L on PPV.
Winner: “And Still” Jon Moxley
Men’s Casino Gauntlet for a Future AEW World Championship Title Shot:
Announced Participants:
- Andrade El Ídolo
- MJF
- Tommaso Ciampa
- Mark Davis
- Chris Jericho
Predicted Participants: We’re going to predict this match to have 21 entrants, although they never really do…
- “Jungle” Jack Perry
- Hechicero
- Daniel Garcia
- “Speedball” Mike Bailey
- Komander
- “The Prodigy” Nick Wayne
- Mark Briscoe
- Juice Robinson
- Zack Sabre Jr.
- Tomohiro Ishii
- Mistico
- Beast Mortos
- Shelton Benjamin
- Bobby Lashley
- Katsuyori Shibata
- Anthony Bowens
- Ilja Dragunov
Thoughts: Hot take — if The Hurt Syndicate are not on this show in some way, I think their AEW run is coming to end sooner rather than later. Not ruling out a return of Kota Ibushi but it is a stretch. In regards to free agents, do not rule out Sheamus. Also, don’t be stunned if people from the trios match are entrants in this match. But the big question is who will win this whole thing? MJF and Andrade are going to cancel each other out, because we need this singles match to happen and what better way for that to happen than one of them costing the other the gauntlet.
Winner: Speedball Mike Bailey – he needs a signature win AEW, and this is it.
AEW Men’s World Tag Team Championship: Cage and Cope (Christian Cage and Adam Copeland) (c) vs. The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) Tag team match for the
Thoughts: The only other layup of the night. The Bucks losing this match leaves them in a state of limbo, and the tag division (especially given all the free agent signings) needs to run through them. Cope and Christian can take some time away, and then ultimately figure out their end games with AEW. This match will be a sleeper. People are very down on C&C Nostalgia Factory, but there’s one thing you can never, ever disqualify from these two: they are always going to work as hard as humanly possible. This is going to be a ton of fun, but in the end The Bucks win the titles.
Winner: “And New” The Young Bucks.
Post-Match: Do not rule out the former New Day coming out for a staredown. Do not rule out FTR returning. Do not rule out The Motor City Machine Guns coming out.
Segment and Match Predictions: Tony Khan, on the media call for All In, stated there’d be more women’s matches added. Here’s what I’m predicting:
- Maya World vs. Persephone for the TBS Title with Persephone winning the title from “The It Girl” (more on that later).
- Thekla having a segment where she calls people dumb bitches and gripes about not being on the card. She runs down AEW and Stardom. They can cut to the Stardom president in the crowd again, as the promotion does not have any shows this weekend. She can attempt to assault him again, but then we get a debuting … KAIRI to come out and save the day.
AEW Women’s World Championship: “The Babe with the Power” Willow Nightingale (c) vs. “The CEO” Mercedes Moné
Thoughts: Willow Nightingale’s broken hand does change things about this match. It easily could’ve gone 30+, but with an injury like this that is probably not the best idea. This will still be an excellent match as these two do not miss when they’re in the ring together. There’s a sneaking feeling that, given their interactions last week, Maya World could cost Willow the title and then join Mercedes as part of a group, but that seems unlikely now. Mercedes deserves a run with the title as it opens up some fresh matches, and let’s not mince words: she’s one of the best in the world right now.
Prediction: “And new” Mercedes Mone
AEW Men’s World Championship: “The Cleaner, The Best Bout Machine” Kenny Omega (c) vs. “The Aerial Assassin” Will Ospreay
Thoughts: There was a last second wrinkle thrown into this one. Callum Newman, Ospreay’s United Empire frenemy, will be in The Aerial Assassin’s corner. Will AEW have Will lose in his home country to further a New Japan storyline? Let’s hope not! Newman can turn on Ospreay at some point causing a false finish, but let’s have that finish be decidedly false. The build to this one has been heavily criticized due to The Death Riders Point Break storyline with Will. However, when the bell rings, the stories are put to the side and we’re going to watch some magic happen. This is likely Kenny’s last big main event, so there’s no doubt he’s going to go to levels we haven’t seen in a minute. Ospreay will undoubtedly match this level. Wrestling fans are in for an absolute treat here.
Prediction: “And new” Will Ospreay
