AEW Redemption 2026 Results As The Young Bucks Beat A Bickering Ospreay And Moxley

The Young Bucks defeated Jon Moxley and Will Ospreay in a tag team match. The Death Riders’ diverse killing instincts, combined with a critical error, led to their loss.

One of the few clear storylines on AEW television saw reigning world champion Will Ospreay become a Death Rider under Jon Moxley, a no‑nonsense heel determined to draw out the best and worst in Ospreay. This mirrors Moxley’s tough‑love approach that culminated in Hangman Adam Page’s victory over Moxley at AEW All In 2025, and parallels Ospreay’s own ‘can they coexist’ rivalry with Kenny Omega. The bout featured a misstep when Ospreay unintentionally struck Moxley with a flying forearm.

The match’s narrative centered on Nick Jackson sustaining a (kayfabe) head injury early on, prompting Moxley to urge Ospreay to exploit his friend’s condition. Ultimately, Ospreay hesitated and failed to capitalize, costing his team the victory.

Young Bucks Triumph Over Moxley and Ospreay

• The Young Bucks opened the match with aggressive double‑team offense against Ospreay and Moxley. Nick Jackson delivered a catapult kick followed by a double‑stomp on Ospreay, earning a nearfall. Ospreay feigned a head injury by kneeling, while Nick also pretended to be injured on the outside, preventing a tag. While Matt inspected his brother, Ospreay seized the opportunity with an outside dive on both Young Bucks.
• Ospreay requested the referee’s clearance for Nick, but a furious Jon Moxley insisted that Ospreay return to the bout. Marina Shafir interfered, knocking Matt Jackson out on the outside as the crowd booed.
• Nick remained down, turning the contest into a handicap match. Moxley re‑entered and struck Matt with a series of forearm blows. Marina Shafir interfered once more, delivering a hard punch to Matt’s midsection. The heel Moxley then seized an ailing Nick and executed a piledriver on the outside.
• Matt was trapped in an armbar by Ospreay, but managed to escape. Ospreay kept control, slamming Matt into the corner before he launched a furious rally, shedding Ospreay and diving outside onto Moxley. Nick recovered sufficiently to request a tag, and after a hot tag to his brother, he attacked both Moxley and Ospreay with vigor.
• The Young Bucks delivered a double‑stomp into a sitout powerbomb on Ospreay, resulting in a nearfall. Moxley interjected with a TK Driver, and Ospreay responded with a simultaneous Styles Clash and piledriver, also earning a nearfall. The audience chanted, “This is awesome.”
• Ospreay launched a second‑rope move onto Matt Jackson, while Moxley struck Nick with a lariat. Ospreay then accidentally connected a Phenomenal Forearm with Moxley. The Young Bucks seized the momentum and gained control. Ospreay interrupted a “More Bang for Your Buck” attempt, but Nick still landed a 450 splash on Moxley. Ospreay equalized with his own 450 splash on Matt.
• The Young Bucks applied a BTE Trigger on Moxley, but Ospreay broke the pin with a Hidden Blade. Nick resumed selling a concussion on the outside while a conflicted Will Ospreay struck Nick repeatedly. Ospreay shoved referee Rick Knox and teased a Hidden Blade, though he could not follow through. Matt covered his brother and urged Ospreay to cease.
• Jon Moxley re‑tagged himself and delivered a stomp to Nick Jackson, earning a nearfall. He then transitioned into a Bulldog choke. Ospreay reacted wildly as Moxley unleashed a series of forearm strikes. Matt Jackson, running wild, unintentionally superkicked Marina Shafir on the outside.
• Moxley executed two Paradigm Shifts on Nick Jackson. He then attempted a Death Rider, opting instead for a steel chair. He shoved referee Rick Knox, who lacked the resolve to call for a disqualification.
• Will Ospreay prevented Moxley from using the steel chair, enabling a BTE Trigger on Moxley. Defiant Moxley flipped off both Young Bucks, prompting them to respond with a single‑person superkick barrage. Nick Jackson then pinned Moxley to secure the victory.
