AEW’s All In is set to make its triumphant return to London, United Kingdom, for one of the company’s most prestigious events on the annual calendar. This year’s spectacular showcases an impressive 13 matches, with the headline bout featuring Kenny Omega defending the AEW World Championship against Will Ospreay in what promises to be an electrifying main event. The card features nine championship matches in total, including the latest chapter in the ongoing rivalry between Mercedes Mone and Willow Nightingale for the AEW Women’s Championship, Adam Copeland and Christian Cage defending the tag team titles against the Young Bucks, and Jon Moxley putting his Continental Championship on the line in the Continental Cup Finals against homegrown talent Nigel McGuinness.
Following SummerSlam, the prediction record stands at 68-24 (68-24; 74%). While the main event appears to be a near-certain outcome barring any dramatic twists or unforeseen circumstances, much of the card remains difficult to forecast with confidence. Several storyline threads remain unresolved, particularly in the tag team division, alongside multi-person matches that present numerous variables to consider when making predictions.
With that in mind, let us dive into the predictions.
Buy-In Quick Picks
- Boom & Doom + Hurt Syndicate vs. Shane Taylor Promotions: While Shane Taylor Promotions would be a worthy winner, betting against the Hurt Syndicate combined with Boom & Doom seems unwise. Big Boom AJ has remained undefeated in AEW since his 2024 debut, posting a perfect 7-0 record, and dropping a loss here seems unlikely. Winner: Boom & Doom + Hurt Syndicate
- Sisters of Sin vs. Harley Cameron and Kris Statlander: If Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor are expected to capture the tag team titles, heel opposition will be necessary. Julia Hart and Skye Blue would serve that role well. There is greater value in maintaining momentum for the established tag team rather than Cameron and Stat. Their recent Artist of Stardom Championship win suggests they are building something, and that trajectory should continue here. Winner: Sisters of Sin
- The Opps vs. Lio Rush and the Rascalz: This match is a complete toss-up. Neither team currently possesses significant momentum, though The Opps have shown slightly more presence and recent success. With the recent addition of Action Andretti, who also became the new ROH TV Champion, giving them the edge makes sense. Winner: The Opps
- TBS Championship – Maya World (c) vs. Persephone: A difficult prediction, but Maya World should retain here. Persephone deserves a more substantial role in AEW despite her dual contract situation and recent struggles. She possesses the charisma and abilities to thrive, and that breakthrough appears imminent. However, removing the title from Maya here would not be the right move. Winner: Maya World
Undercard
AEW Trios Championship – Roulette Royale
Rather than listing every participant multiple times, a general overview will suffice.
Presumably following a format similar to the Casino Gauntlet, the reigning champions Hangman Page, Bandido, and Brody King will need to defend against the Bang Bang Gang (Jay White and the Gunns), Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, and Kyle O’Reilly), Death Riders (Claudio, PAC, and Wheeler Yuta), The Demand, The Dogs, and presumably Swerve Strickland with his partners. The challengers will be seeking to usher in a new era for the division. Through process of elimination, The Dogs and Bang Bang Gang seem unlikely to win as they will likely eliminate each other. The Conglomeration appears to have the lowest probability of victory, and Page and Bandido may be dropping the titles. With only one defense during their 24-day reign, they would need chaos to prevail. The Death Riders, The Demand, and Swerve’s team present more viable options, with The Demand being the least likely among them. The Death Riders do not necessarily need the titles, leaving Swerve and his partners as the most likely candidates. Regardless of who his partners are, a built-in rivalry with Hangman exists, and if they are who anticipated, this would be a remarkable introduction to the AEW landscape. Winner: Swerve (Day?)
TNT Championship Match – Kevin Knight (c) vs. Darby Allin
These two competitors rank among the most accomplished TNT Champions, with Kevin Knight now holding the record for most title defenses, a record previously held by Darby Allin. Allin still maintains records for combined days as champion and the longest individual reign at 186 days. Knight trails closely at over 139 days and is approaching both Jack Perry and Miro/Rusev’s records. The narrative appears to position Knight toward history, allowing him to potentially surpass the single-reign record for longest days as champion before closing in on the total record, which could set up a future rematch. The outcome depends on AEW’s long-term plans for Knight. For this weekend, Knight should continue his dominant run through the mid and upper-midcard. Winner: Kevin Knight
Casino Gauntlet for Future AEW World Title Shot
Although these matches typically feature approximately 21 participants, as of Saturday, only Andrade, MJF, Tommaso Ciampa, Mark Davis, and Chris Jericho have been confirmed. Additional names may be added by the end of Collision, though many unknowns will likely remain heading into Sunday’s main show. If Ospreay becomes champion, Chris Jericho or Mark Davis would provide strong statement wins. Ciampa represents another excellent option for a statement victory and potentially the best matchup for a first title defense. Andrade and MJF have received substantial investment, suggesting one of two scenarios: either they are the final two with one winning, which would favor Andrade since MJF appears destined as the primary antagonist for the year’s end and could interfere with Andrade’s opportunity, or they eliminate each other and neither wins. MJF does not appear destined to win this particular match. Among the five confirmed participants, Ciampa presents the strongest case.
Realistically, with only 5 of 21 potential participants known, additional mid-card performers will likely be included to provide screen time on the major card, along with several new faces. Some may be returning from injuries, though identifying major additions who would simultaneously warrant a title shot proves challenging. Reports indicate Ilja Dragunov is available. Malakai Black/Tommy End could potentially return, though circumstances would need to align. Sheamus’ contract extends until October 1. From WWE releases potentially available by this point, former Santos Escobar (now performing as Romeo Malverde) and former Wyatt Sicks members represent possibilities, though none seem likely to prevail. Some participants from the trios gauntlet may also appear here. Without certainty regarding additions, two predictions will be offered. If no significant newcomers participate, Ciampa should win. Andrade serves as the secondary option with the caveat that MJF will likely prevent his fair opportunity. If a new participant enters, betting on Dragunov would be wise. Winner: Ciampa or Andrade; Darkhorse Entry: Ilja Dragunov
AEW International Championship – Triple Threat: Kyle Fletcher (c) vs. Kazuchika Okada vs. Konosuke Takeshita
Fletcher almost certainly will not leave the United Kingdom with the championship. Fletcher and Okada’s segment from this past Wednesday heavily suggests Okada is willing to betray Fletcher to capture the title. Okada emphasized the importance of “family” and that a Don Callis Family member must leave with the championship. Alternatively, they could cancel each other out—a recurring theme throughout this All In—allowing Takeshita to regain the championship after Fletcher and Okada interfere with each other. Fletcher retaining is not impossible, merely unlikely given the narratives working against him: the cunning heel Okada willing to do anything to win, and Takeshita seeking legitimate revenge for Fletcher’s betrayal. Okada regaining seems most probable because the effort to create discord within the DCF under the guise of competition appears deliberate. Takeshita serves as the secondary option, while Fletcher appears to be the odd man out. Not zero probability, but trusting Okada to be particularly ruthless here seems wise. Winner: Okada
AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships – Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross) (c) vs. The Brawling Birds (Jayme Hayter and Alex Windsor)
Concern exists that Tony Khan may default to the hometown narrative, which may not serve the titles optimally.
Divine Dominion has systematically defeated every challenger throughout their championship reign. With six successful defenses, they have overcome Sisters of Sin (Julia Hart and Skye Blue), Thunder Rosa and Olympia, TayJay, Shida and Statlander, Hyan and Maya World, and Babes of Wrath (Harley Cameron and Willow). Losing simply because the opponents are U.K.-based would not be strategically sound.
Maintaining their dominance here while perhaps using questionable tactics, followed by a rematch where Hayter and Windsor earn their victory later, appears preferable. Bayne and Kross have performed admirably in establishing the division and providing a team to build around. Babes of Wrath felt like an SCU-level victory—deserved and pleasant, but early champions like Omega and Page, the Young Bucks, and FTR set a different standard. Whether Windsor and Hayter can reach that level remains uncertain, and that pedigree must be earned. The match buildup has provided additional intrigue and arguably represents the strongest build since Kross and Bayne initially defeated Nightingale and Cameron and dominated the rematch.
Devil’s Advocate suggests Hayter and Windsor prevail, given Tony Khan’s history with hometown crowds. Without another legitimate team with staying power currently visible, AEW could do worse than positioning these two teams as 1A and 1B contenders until other options emerge. TayJay appears finished, Sisters of Sin have been marginalized after a prior loss and lack momentum, and Maya World currently focuses on the TBS title. Every other team has been assembled hastily. If a title change occurs, maintaining the rivalry would help establish the division beyond Bayne and Kross’s dominance. Accepting that “Goddess Killers” Windsor and Hayter become new champions, credit belongs to Bayne and Kross for providing the division with its dominant team, and hopefully they remain together to offer consistency and serve as the primary rival to the new champions. Alternatively, their singles careers may be ready to flourish. Winner: The Brawling Birds
Main Card
Continental Challenge Cup Final – Jon Moxley (c) vs. Nigel McGuinness
While opposing the hometown victory in the women’s tag team title match, this scenario almost demands it. The women’s title build follows a fairly standard formula, suggesting cheating them out of the win would galvanize support and make the eventual victory more meaningful. However, Nigel McGuinness’s injury-focused journey through the tournament carries greater significance in the broader wrestling context. Nigel’s story deserves a championship and tournament victory as its culmination because this narrative transcends hometown sentiment and represents a larger wrestling story that resonates with fans who have followed his career through retirement, comeback, and major match appearances over recent years. This represents years of payoff versus relatively recent developments positioning Hayter and Windsor for their own deserving conclusion. Despite this, that outcome appears less likely than the women’s tag match.
Nigel winning makes sense given he enters as the underdog against Moxley without the “injury” factor, but the added layer of emotion gives the finals additional intensity. Yes, the event occurs in the U.K., but the hometown tribute and return at major London shows have already occurred, presenting an opportunity to deliver a moment that feels genuinely earned rather than geographically convenient. While the probable result suggests otherwise, and though this differs from Saraya/Paige winning the AEW Women’s Championship—an outcome done purely for that reason and undeserved—this represents the benchmark for what to avoid and the pitfalls of defaulting to hometown victories. Khan gravitates toward this approach. However, while Moxley probably ultimately prevails, going against that inclination on this particular hill. Winner: Nigel McGuinness
AEW World Tag Team Championship – Adam Copeland and Christian Cage (c) vs. the Young Bucks
Initial instinct suggests the Bucks win, but this rivalry genuinely feels incomplete without FTR reentering the picture to create something potentially legendary involving all three teams. That appears to be the natural culmination and payoff for these three teams circling the titles throughout 2026. With other major shows like All Out, WrestleDream, and Full Gear scheduled over the next three months, AEW could present a series of statement matches in the tag division that cement all three teams in AEW tag team history. That element has been missing from what has otherwise been a cornerstone of AEW since its inception.
The prediction sits firmly at 50-50, though the idea of a triple threat stipulation—even a TLC variation—remains compelling and could become distinctly their own and AEW’s. A title change is not necessarily required, although Copeland and Cage have held the titles for three months. However, everything has been building toward another Bucks victory, with the timing being the unknown factor. The Jacksons could regain here, but numerous other significant shows require major matches. Cage and Cope likely retain, and FTR appearing to cost the Jacksons their opportunity to become four-time AEW Tag Team Champions would not be surprising. Winners: Adam Copeland and Christian Cage
AEW Women’s World Championship – Willow Nightingale (c) vs. Mercedes Mone
If Mercedes Mone was not already destined to capture the AEW Women’s Championship, Willow Nightingale has reportedly suffered a broken hand. She appears cleared to compete on Sunday, but retaining under these circumstances seems improbable. This can still enhance their overall narrative given their history and the injuries that have defined it, suggesting these two will meet again in the future.
For Sunday, all signs point to Mone finally being crowned AEW Women’s Champion, likely making her the most insufferable champion in memory. With her character defined by that unhinged, arrogant, entitled perspective stemming from self-perceived greatness, finally reaching the pinnacle in AEW will amplify those traits. For fans, this promises an entertaining reign. For others, apologies are in order. Winner: Mercedes Mone
AEW World Championship – Kenny Omega (c) vs. Will Ospreay
Now for the main event. Numerous scenarios exist, especially after Callum Newman’s announcement on Saturday that he will be in Ospreay’s corner, but keeping this analysis concise is the goal.
The perspective that MJF should be Ospreay’s opponent instead persists. Since it became clear this direction was likely, Ospreay in the challenger role seemed destined. The title change and Omega’s second reign were presumed to mask that eventuality, and overall, the build has probably exceeded what MJF’s involvement would have provided. That will become clearer should Ospreay prevail.
Omega’s demeanor over recent weeks deserves emphasis. He has decidedly embraced his “Cleaner” heel persona, creating the same broad-appeal dynamic that elevates an Ospreay victory from mere hometown celebration to something more significant. It clearly delineates who deserves cheering and who deserves jeering. Within their larger story, this represents the mountain Ospreay must climb, and MJF presents a better long-term antagonist than Omega would be.
Uncertainty existed when beginning this analysis, despite supporting Ospreay throughout most of 2026. The potential outcomes are visible. Either could win cleanly. Omega could cheat, or Omega could win through Newman’s interference given their tense relationship throughout 2026 during NJPW and AEW events. These elements represent important story beats that cannot be dismissed. Ospreay seems more likely to win here, but the possibility of Newman sabotaging him must be acknowledged. However, that scenario requires everyone to be completely informed about everything occurring during both NJPW shows AND AEW to appreciate the betrayal’s significance, which seems unrealistic.
Ospreay becoming AEW Champion and achieving the hometown victory triggers one of two likely outcomes, either at All In or during his reign. Both involve Newman turning on him, though timing differs: either immediately after the victory to generate instant heat, or costing him the championship later, likely against MJF. Ospreay will probably face the Death Riders to conclude that mid-summer storyline, especially should Moxley lose the Continental Championship.
Ospreay carrying the title into 2027 seems unlikely because the year-long inter-United Empire tension between Ospreay and Newman appears destined for a Wrestle Kingdom match in January. That encounter simply needs that final spark to ignite it. Therefore, while Omega potentially winning with Newman as the vehicle seems possible, the Ospreay coronation feels necessary. Winner: Will Ospreay
