AEW All In 2026 Predictions

AEW All In 2026 Predictions: Why MJF Cashes In on Will Ospreay

Wembley Stadium hosts AEW’s biggest show of the year this Sunday, and these AEW All In 2026 predictions come with one bold call nobody at the company has made before on a pay-per-view: give Will Ospreay his crowning moment as world champion, then take it away from him in the same night. Nine matches are officially set, down from the sprawling, overstuffed card that defined last year’s show, and the London crowd is getting a genuinely stacked lineup with Kenny Omega defending against Ospreay in the main event, a loaded Casino Gauntlet, and two English-flavoured title matches that will mean everything to the hometown crowd.

Here’s every match, the reasoning behind each pick, and the one call that could turn Wembley into an all-time moment or an all-time riot.

🎯 Key Takeaways

  • MJF cashes in on Ospreay: After winning the Casino Gauntlet early in the show, MJF interrupts Ospreay’s title celebration and steals the AEW World Championship in seconds.
  • Kyle Fletcher, Jon Moxley, and Kevin Knight all retain: The International, Continental, and TNT titles all stay with their current champions against Okada/Takeshita, Nigel McGuinness, and Darby Allin respectively.
  • Two English title changes: The Brawling Birds (Alex Windsor and Jamie Hayter) and Edge & Christian both win gold in front of their home or adopted crowd.
  • New Day debuts on the pre-show: Look for New Day, possibly alongside Swerve Strickland, to walk away with the AEW World Trios Championship in the Casino Trios Royale Roulette.

Main Event: Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay for the AEW World Championship

This is the match Wembley was built for. Will Ospreay, back from a serious neck injury, gets his crowning moment in his home country against the man who’s been holding the title. Omega is in top form after his outing against Kevin Knight at the last pay-per-view proved that — and the two know each other well enough from AEW and the New Japan years to tear the building down. Pick: Will Ospreay wins the AEW World Championship. He’s been building to this for years, and there’s no version of this show that doesn’t end with the hometown guy holding the title… at least for a few minutes.

“Ospreay’s been champion, but not really. And Wembley’s pissed. But they had their moment of jubilation.”

— Dave Simon, Wrestling Uncensored, previewing the MJF cash-in scenario

Why MJF Cashing In Is the Move

MJF has spent months calling himself the real AEW World Champion and dragging a replica title belt to ringside every week. AEW has never had a champion crowned and then dethroned within the same pay-per-view before, and this is the exact moment to finally do it. Have MJF win the Casino Gauntlet early, ahead of Andrade, Tommaso Ciampa, Mark Davis, and Chris Jericho, so the crowd mostly forgets about him by the time the main event rolls around four hours later.

Then, seconds after Ospreay’s title celebration begins, MJF’s music hits; he blindsides an exhausted Ospreay, hits him with the title belt, and pins him 1-2-3 to become AEW World Champion. Wembley gets to have its moment of pure joy, and then it gets taken away in real time; that’s a better story than a long-simmering title reign for Ospreay that just gets talked about for months without a payoff.

AEW TNT Championship (Falls Count Anywhere): Kevin Knight (c) vs. Darby AllinKevin Knight retainsHanding Darby a mid-card title this soon after his AEW World Championship run would read as a demotion.
AEW Women’s World Championship: Willow Nightingale (c) vs. Mercedes MonéWillow Nightingale retainsIt re-establishes Willow as the division’s clear number one rather than handing Mercedes a hot-potato title reign.

AEW World Tag Team Championship: Edge & Christian (c) vs. the Young BucksEdge & Christian retainThe Bucks don’t need another tag title reign; this match is the reward in itself.

The Pre-Show Trios Match Is the Wild Card

The Casino Trios Royale Roulette for the AEW World Trios Championship opens the pre-show with Hangman Page, Brodido (the current champions), the Bang Bang Gang, the Conglomeration, the Death Riders, the Demand, and the Dogs (David Finlay, Clark Connors, and Gabe Kidd) all involved. Swerve Strickland isn’t booked anywhere else on the card and has been teasing bringing friends along, which points squarely at a surprise New Day debut — possibly with Swerve completing the trio. Pick: New Day, alongside Swerve Strickland, wins the AEW World Trios Championship in the pre-show’s biggest moment.

Reality Check: This Card Actually Has Fewer Matches, and That’s a Good Thing

The Reality: Last year’s All In ran an exhausting eight hours across roughly 15 matches. This year’s nine-match card, even with a pre-show trios match added on, is a deliberate correction, and it should make for a tighter, more focused show. The one risk in these AEW All In 2026 predictions is Tony Khan’s own promise of a four-hour runtime — AEW has broken that promise before, and if the show creeps toward six hours again, even a great card starts to lose the live Wembley crowd the same way WWE’s four-hour SmackDown tapings have been losing crowds all summer.

This card is also the clearest sign yet of where several ongoing AEW stories are heading. We broke down the full card and the New Day question in more depth two weeks ago, and MJF’s road to this cash-in has been building since his Grand Slam Mexico ambush. Kyle Fletcher’s rise has been a running theme since his match with Bandido at Redemption, and now Wembley is where it all comes to a head.
