Way Too Early Predictions for AEW All In London 2026

One of AEW’s strengths is multi-layered feuds woven into multi-man matches that weave clashing styles and characters into chaotic PWG-style hot messes. Plus, interlocking stories between factions and individuals.

What about a show opener pitting The Dogs against The Bang Bang Gang, The Rascalz and The Death Riders, with Marina Sharif joining Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli? Add a post-match return from Jay White, setting up a feud with former Bullet Club leaders to lead into All Out. Remember, the turnaround between All In and All Out is short. Some matches will need more connective tissue for All Out.

Stepping Stone Matches for AEW All Out

What about a three-way number one contender’s match for the AEW World Tag Team Championship? Classic rivals Jurassic Express against FTR clash with a third set of dance partners? A wildcard, hard-hitting team of Samoa Joe and Katsuyori Shibata—obstacles to add a new dynamic to a much-loved combination.

Secondly, a post-match angle could add further story to Jungle Jack Perry defending his AEW National Championship against Samoa Joe at All Out. Although this match could take place at All In, fans will chant “Cry Me A River” or “F### Punk” regardless. Plus, character-wise, Perry’s redemption started at All Out.

Elsewhere, what if Kyle Fletcher, paralleling best friend/enemy Will Ospreay, splits from the Don Callis Family? Siding with husband, Konosuke Takeshita, at All Out, Fletcher will take on Callis’ shinier new favourite boytoy, Andrade El Idolo. Yet, repeatedly attacked and outnumbered, help comes from a former rival. Mark Briscoe and The Conglomeration support The Protostar’s in a multi-man match, an 8 to 10-man tag match.

A lot of multiple-person matches, yes, but there will be plenty of big singles contests to come.

The Brits get Their Moments

AEW could learn from WWE’s failings and give the home country talent pride of place to make All In 2026 its greatest UK-based event. There are plenty of Brits on the roster who, keeping healthy, deserve their moment.

For the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships, The Brawling Birds either win or retain titles against a very credible team. Like, say, the current champions, The Divine Dominion. Jamie Hayter, especially given several significant injuries, deserves to bask in some in-ring glory.

However, elsewhere, it’s perhaps time for a legend to go out in a blaze of glory. Nigel McGuinness returned to wrestling at All In 2024’s Casino Gauntlet. Sporadic matches have been joyful and nostalgic. Yet the story’s remained the same. Best exemplified at Forbidden Door 2025, McGuinness cannot keep up.

Facing his Forbidden Door cornerman, Daniel Garcia, McGuiness could put over Red Death as the future of technical wrestling. In front of a potential record-breaking crowd, this full circle could be a tear-jerker.

Speaking of Casino Gauntlets, let’s have just the one—a men’s version. Save the women for All Out. At All In Texas, the long-term problem of making the event annual risks this incredible gimmick, suffering the same issues of tropes and stagnation as the Royal Rumble. Booked like the 2024 All In version with thriller over filler, The Bastard PAC wins a guaranteed world title shot.

Don’t panic about the women because…

The First Women’s Anarchy in the Arena Match

If there are two Anarchy in the Arena matches at Double or Nothing, you risk desensitization of the violence, the gimmick and similar issues of parity that impacted the build of the women’s Blood and Guts match. Plus, there is precedent for this match at Wembley. The first All In London featured an incredible sleeper of a layered AEW violent splendour brawl.

Saving the AEW Women’s World Championship match for All Out, The Triangle of Madness team with Athena and a heel Thunder Rosa fight The Babes of Wrath, Kris Statlander, a returning Hikaru Shida and Billie Starkz. Yes, ROH finally pulled the trigger in this fictional universe with Starkz dethroning Athena!

A blood-soaked, innovative and crazed brawl that allows the women to stand on their own without comparison could be more classic.

Huge Storyline-Driven Clashes  

The following matches are rematches. Yet, with clear character arcs, motivations and new storyline progression building on history, the outcomes would define the next months of AEW programming.

Jon Moxley finally loses the AEW Continental Championship, the title that has saved him, which will lead to his downfall. Succumbing to Swerve Strickland, in a battle of brutality and assertion, this grudge match is personal. Swerve wants Moxley’s title and scalp because, having beaten The Elite, Moxley is the last remaining reminder of the past in Swerve’s house.

Subsequently, this sets up All Out. For Moxley to be usurped by the Death Riders. Mirrors the trauma inflicted on Bryan Danielson.

Another paralleling major title match and character arc, AEW International champion Kenny Omega, takes on Hangman Adam Page. Page needs to beat Omega. It’s not directly about the championship. Page needs the win to stabilise himself symbolically. Emotion driven by whether/if Page will turn heel, the loss to Omega drives more conflict in the Cowboy.

Finally, Timeless Toni Storm faces Mercedes Mone, one year on. The winner becomes the number one contender for the AEW Women’s World Championship. However, there’s a character twist. With Ultimo Mone’s reign collapsing like falling dominoes, Mone returns to AEW focused, unable to plaster over her fracturing psyche.

Obsessed with the belt, Mone, like Storm as she became Timeless, faces her own mental breakdown. Only an ultra-modern version of the celebrity breakdown rather than retro, film-star-inspired madness.

Dream Contests

There must be some fresher dream match level contests.

It’s been teased for years. They’ve clashed in triple threats, tag team and multi-man matches, but finally, the singles match happens at All In. Kazuchika Okada takes on Konosuke Takeshita. No titles because the feud is about something deeper. It’s about Okada’s coasting and protecting finally crumbling in a way, The Rainmaker and Don Callis delayed at All In Texas. It’s about the undeniable rise of The Alpha.

Yet what about a match many fans never thought we would see? The AEW World Tag Team Championships: Adam Copeland and Christian Cage vs. The Young Bucks. A clash between generational tag teams and brothers (one real and one kayfabe).

Mixing nostalgia with the savvy and dark arts of Cage and Copeland (hopefully not too Brood-inspired), there’s an intergenerational story to be told. Plus, a potential follow-up at All Out or WrestleDream with AEW’s version of a TLC with FTR!

That leaves one big match… The main event… It’s time.

Main Event: New AEW World Champion, a New Era 

It seems like foreshadowing and serendipity that Will Ospreay returns to Dynamite ahead of Wembley tickets being available for general release. AEW has been patient with Ospreay. They have waited. Building the Aerial Assassin as a weekly TV character. AEW did not rush Ospreay into the role of AEW saviour over Swerve Strickland or Hangman Adam Page.

If there is ever a right now for Ospreay, it is Wembley. The story rights itself. Ospreay has returned from a double neck fusion. The third time for both Ospreay and the AEW World champion, MJF. Unlike their previous clash, AEW is in a different place. This isn’t about the US vs. UK. MJF’s character has regained what it lost during his first world title reign. It’s about The Feeling, and Ospreay is as he previously proclaimed, “The Feeling, Bruv”.
