Will Ospreay defends title against Jon Moxley at AEW All Out 2026

One of All Elite Wrestling’s original PPVs is back! All Out comes our way for the eighth year in a row, back in its usual Chicagoland environs. The 2026 edition will be in Hoffman Estates, Illinois’ NOW Arena, and it’s going down tonight (Sat., Sept. 26). After free streaming YouTube pre-show at 7 p.m. Eastern, the main card action starts an hour later. This year’s All Out will feature at least seven title matches, which include the new World champ vs. arguably the promotion’s biggest star, a Ladder Match with three all-time great tag teams, a Chicago Street Fight between last two women’s tag champs, a MYSTERY CHALLENGER and another women’s belt… plus two #1 contenders matches and more! It’s a lot to process — and that’s without even factoring in WWE’s CM Punk lucha show across town that most of us won’t see until next Wednesday at the earliest. So we’ve assembled our motley crew of pro wrestling blowhards to give thoughts & predictions on everything booked the show! Let’s get to it. Will Ospreay (c) vs. Jon Moxley for the AEW World championship Sean Rueter: Saw somewhere that Mox hasn’t lost a singles match all year… if that’s true, that’s a benefit to starting Bruv’s reign with his old Death Riders sensei. It doesn’t add more suspense to the outcome, though. Pick: Will Ospreay Claire Elizabeth: This is it, it’s graduation day at Death Rider University. For a year, Will Ospreay has climbed every summit put in front of him, and now he has to take the Ace out to cement his reign as AEW Men’s World Champion. And I think he’s gonna do it. Pick: Will Ospreay Cain A. Knight: It would be a hell of a swerve for Ospreay to lose the belt to Moxley in his very first title defense. I suppose MJF could show up to screw Will over, but I don’t think it’s the likely outcome. Pick: Will Ospreay Manolo H. Pizzazz: Moxley will be conflicted about letting other Death Riders pull the trigger on Ospreay, and that will be his downfall here. I think that Moxley deep down wants Ospreay to win to pass the torch to him. Bruv will have to earn it though. Pick: Will Ospreay Marcus Benjamin: This is a perfect first big defense for Bruv. Moxley fashioned him into the man capable of taking the title off Kenny Omega. Now, the student has to go through teacher. I expect a brutal and punishing match filled with enough pints of blood to make a vampire blush. Pick: Will Ospreay Kyle Decker: Will Ospreay is not losing the title a month after winning it at All In. Pick: Will Ospreay Jon Velez-Jackson: There will be blood, yes, but not a title change after all the build for Ospreay’s title win at All In. Pick: Will Ospreay Christian Cage & Adam Copeland (c) & vs. FTR vs. The Young Bucks in a Ladder Match for the AEW Tag Team titles Sean Rueter: While I continue to enjoy their bickering old married couple schtick, I’m not seeing the vision (lower case, no pun intended) for their reign yet. Maybe it’ll become clearer after they give the Top Guys and the Jackson boys this dream match. Pick: Cage & Cope Claire Elizabeth: On Dynamite this week, the Young Bucks said a thing I kept circling around without thinking out loud— the last time Adam Copeland jumped off a high thing, he crippled himself for a year. Now, that’s not to say I think the champs are gonna lose — triple threat math favors them for one, as does the fact that the Bucks and FTR are long-time rivals, and furthermore just the fact that Copeland and Cage are wily old coots who have shown an increasing willingness to cut corners. But I just keep thinking to myself… victory at what cost? Pick: Adam Copeland & Christian Cage Cain A. Knight: I think it’s a little strange that Bucks and FTR each lost their Dynamite matches during the build to this PPV title match. Maybe that’s because it’s time to hot potato the belts between all of AEW’s great tag teams for a while. Pick: Young Bucks Manolo H. Pizzazz: It should feel like a big deal if the Young Bucks or FTR wins. Heading into the match, it doesn’t feel that way to me. Their momentum has been derailed. That’s why I think the legends retain. Pick: Cope & Cage Marcus Benjamin: I can’t see the innovators losing the match they made famous. At least not yet. AEW’s tag team scene feels vibrant at the moment, with a lot of potential heirs to the throne. Let the current kings cook for a while until a truly worthy team becomes undeniable. This should be a lot of fun though. Pick: Cage & Cope Kyle Decker: Tough call here as I don’t have a true inkling. I think they’re already planting some seeds for C&C versus Darby Allin & Steven Borden, and I don’t see a reason to do the change just yet, so the team who helped pioneer this match will win it. Pick: Cage & Cope Jon Velez-Jackson: While I’d be all for Cage & Cope passing the torch to the very-deserving FTR, I can’t see Tony Khan booking the legendary duo to lose in a ladder match. Pick: Cage & Cope Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. Tommaso Ciampa for the AEW International championship Sean Rueter: It’s cool Ciampa’s getting another chance to show off on pretty big stages at this stage of his career. And sharing a ring with someone like New Japan’s most recent Ace after all the surgeries and rehabs has to feel good. Me, I’m just waiting for the International champ to shift his AEW run into a higher gear. Pick: Kazuchika Okada Claire Elizabeth: It’s not even that I don’t think Ciampa can get the win here, or that I think the Don Callis Family will muck it up for him, or any of that. It’s that I think his TNT Championship reign showed that at this point in his career, he’s good enough to take it, but not good enough to keep it, and I think that’s somewhere in the Sicilian Psychopath’s head, rattling around… Pick: Kazuchika Okada Cain A. Knight: Ciampa is a lot more interesting than Okada and could really use this kind of win, but The Rainmaker isn’t dropping the belt in his first title defense. Pick: Kazuchika Okada Manolo H. Pizzazz: Pfft. Pick: Rainmaker! Marcus Benjamin: I can’t curse. Oh, actually we can? Well, I’ll save that for later. Just know this was a one-word prediction with a four-letter word Okada loves, followed by “please.” Pick: Kazuchika Okada Kyle Decker: I don’t think Okada loses the title until he defends it against Kyle Fletcher… I assume. Fletcher could also be challenging Kevin Knight instead. Don Callis has some issues on his hand. Pick: Kazuchika Okada Jon Velez-Jackson: Let’s be realistic about this one. Tony Khan spent a lot of money signing Okada, and while Ciampa certainly has an impressive pedigree, he’s not going over on a Japanese legend. Pick: Kazuchika Okada Swerve & The New Level (c) vs. Hangman & Brodido for the AEW Trios championship Sean Rueter: It’s past time for Swerve to get back into the World title scene, but I think we’ll get this group vs. The Elite before they drop the belts (or maybe as their last program as a trio, at least for a while). Pick: Swerve & The New Level Claire Elizabeth: New Level have their eyes locked firmly on the prize and not on whatever… stuff… Swerve might deem necessary to win a match. What’s a little crime here and there between pals, eh? And in the end that all adds up to the trios belts staying firmly where they are for the time being. Pick: Shane “Swerve” Strickland & the New Level Cain A. Knight: This is the part where Hangman loses another title match and then has to figure out what his purpose is in AEW going forward. It’s also a good time for Swerve to resort to some underhanded tactics to win that might not be cool with Kofi and Creed. Pick: Swerve Strickland & New Level Manolo H. Pizzazz: I think Hangman & Brodido will dethrone the trios champs. It just won’t happen on this night. The scene on Dynamite opened a lot to explore among the characters. That story needs time to marinate. The titles changing hands muddies that water for now. Pick: Swerve & New Level Marcus Benjamin: The New Level and Swerve retain these titles until someone (Swerve) breaks them up. They’re already sowing seeds for discord down the line. Until then, let’s all bask in the newness. Pick: Swerve & The New Level Kyle Decker: I don’t think Swerve & the New Level lose the titles until they feel it’s time to break them apart. You could argue that could be any time, and I think the New Level should be part of the regular tag scene sooner or later, but it’s a bit soon for them to lose it. Pick: Swerve & The New Level Jon Velez-Jackson: Like others have said, the New Level won’t be losing the belts until Strickland turns on them, and it seems like that story needs more build first. Pick: Swerve & The New Level The Brawling Birds (c) vs. Divine Dominion for the AEW Women’s Tag titles Sean Rueter: This feels like a show full of new champs validating their reigns, and I’d be shocked if Megan Bayne & Lena Kross won back the belts here. Bayne seems like someone Mercedes can feud with for a PPV cycle while waiting for a Timeless return, so the tag act may be going on the back burner soon. Pick: The Brawling Birds Claire Elizabeth: It’s gonna be a slice of good friendly violent fun and the champs are gonna come out on top. Pick: Brawling Birds Cain A. Knight: Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor aren’t losing the belts in their first title defense. I forget how many times I’ve reiterated that idea throughout these predictions. It would come off like a burial of the babyface champs if they lose given how the heel challengers have kicked their asses in every segment on TV leading up to this title match. Pick: Brawling Birds Manolo H. Pizzazz: There are a lot of easy picks in title matches for this PPV, so I think this will be the upset, in a sense. Not that Megan Bayne and Lena Kross winning would be a surprise. More that Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor losing the titles so soon would be unexpected. This feud rages on for another round after All Out. Pick: Divine Dominion Marcus Benjamin: I’m going with my heart here, simple as that. Pick: The Brawling Birds Kyle Decker: May as well do a title change somewhere & I didn’t pick it anywhere else. Pick: Divine Dominion Jon Velez-Jackson: I don’t have a strong sense on this one, but I do feel Hayer and Windsor deserve a longer title reign. Pick: The Brawling Birds Willow Nightingale vs. Thekla in an AEW Women’s World Title Eliminator Sean Rueter: We don’t need another chapter of Nightingale/Moné yet. The Toxic Spider’s rivalry with Willow is worth slowly establishing in AEW too, so this outcome gives us the more interesting program now and a big name nemesis the Babe with the Powerbomb can pick up a win against when it comes time to book her back to another World title reign. Pick: Thekla Claire Elizabeth: Thekla is for the children, baby! Pick: Thekla Cain A. Knight: Any dumb bitch can see that Thekla vs. Mercedes is a fresh world title match that needs to happen ASAP. Pick: Thekla Manolo H. Pizzazz: We’ve seen Mercedes Moné versus Willow. We haven’t seen Mercedes versus Thekla yet. Fans are hot for the idea of that fresh matchup. Pick: Thekla Marcus Benjamin: As much as I love Willow, Thekla is too hot at the moment to not get this win. Pick: Thekla Kyle Decker: I wouldn’t go back to Mercedes/Willow this soon. They can use that hand injury to protect her and allow Thekla to get her shot against Mercedes, which is where it felt like they were going to begin with. Pick: Thekla Jon Velez-Jackson: Not only does Thekla deserve a marquee match against Mercedes Moné, but that’s where the money is right now. Plus, AEW fans will be treated to some fun Thekla promos along the way. Pick: Thekla Darby Allin & Steven Borden vs. Kyle Fletcher & Kevin Knight Sean Rueter: Starting El Hijo del Sting with a PPV loss just seems more interesting to me. Let’s see Allin actually coach up his partner in-story for a bit. As Cope said, the kid’s not ready for a title shot. Pick: Kevin Knight and Kyle Fletcher Claire Elizabeth: Fletcher and Knight are putting something together here, and that this mathc has obvious implications for the tag title scene means Don Callis is gonna want his boys to bring home a win more than if just Steve’s first loss was on the line. I think they find a way to exploit the rookie’s lack of experience (and maybe inherited familial naivety) and get the win here. Pick: Kevin Knight & Kyle Fletcher Cain A. Knight: Sting was undefeated throughout his entire AEW career, so Sting Jr. might as well follow in his footsteps and do the same damn thing. Pick: Darby Allin & Steven Borden Manolo H. Pizzazz: I think Borden’s first loss will come when challenging for the tag titles. That is full circle on the idea of Sting vacating the belts upon retirement. Sting Jr. will go for the gold that his father never lost. Pick: Darby Allin & Steven Borden Marcus Benjamin: Darby and Steve are quickly becoming huge fan favorites. There’s so much story between them and so many stories to tell with them as a team. When does Steve wear the face paint? Pick: Darby Allin & Steven Borden Kyle Decker: It sounds like this is at least an unofficial #1 contenders match (they may have made that official). Darby & Steven make the most sense for that. Fletcher & Knight barely get along. Pick: Allin & Sting Jr. Jon Velez-Jackson: Steven Borden’s rapid rise after his father’s retirement has been big news for AEW, and his push will likely continue here. Pick: Darby Allin & Steven Borden Andrade (c) vs. PAC for the National championship Sean Rueter: Dontuseorriffonhiscatchphrase, dontuseorriffonhiscatchphrase, dontuseorriffonhiscatchphrase, dontuseorriffonhiscatchphrase, dontuseorriffonhiscatchphrase, dontuseorriffonhiscatchphrase, dontuseorriffonhiscatchphrase… I’ll tell you how I know! Dangit, I said I wasn’t gonna do that. Anyway, not a good night to be a Death Rider. Pick: Andrade El Idolo Claire Elizabeth: They’re gonna beat the hell out of each other but it’ll all be over the second Andrade takes his pants off. Pick: Andrade el Idolo Cain A. Knight: This match only exists because Tony Khan needed to find a match for Andrade on the PPV. And Andrade is clearly not losing to a random (but excellent) Death Rider henchman on PPV, especially while he’s holding on to that contract for an AEW world title match. Pick: Andrade Manolo H. Pizzazz: How you know? El Idolo is not losing until he cashes in his world title shot. Pick: Andrade Marcus Benjamin: Andrade can’t lose this title because he’s the number contender for the big title. Easy pick. Pick: Andrade Kyle Decker: Andrade shouldn’t lose the National title as long as he’s holding that #1 contenders contract. Pick: Andrade Jon Velez-Jackson: Andrade will win, and AEW will push a video of him getting a ringside selfie on its social media accounts. Pick: Andrade Persephone vs. mystery opponent in open challenge for the TBS championship Sean Rueter: If it’s anyone other than Kairi Sane, and it doesn’t sound like it is… Pick: Persephone Claire Elizabeth: Perse and her trusty doctor/manager have this one in the bag, I reckon. Pick: Persephone Cain A. Knight: Let’s get strange and pick a mystery opponent who Persephone will never see coming. Pick: Britt Baker Manolo H. Pizzazz: Unless it is AJ Lee for a nuclear meltdown in Chicago, I don’t anticipate Persephone losing the title so soon into the relationship with Dr. Britt Baker DMD. I’m guessing that Mara Sade answers the call. Pick: Persephone Marcus Benjamin: Hmmmm. I mean, the mystery opponent could be a big name. Let’s roll the dice. Pick: Mystery Opponent Kyle Decker: There’s no reason to do a change here. Pick: Persephone Jon Velez-Jackson: If Mara Sade is the mystery opponent, I think Persephone retains. But what if it’s Kairi Sane? No disrespect to Sade and the work she put in at TNA, but Sane showing up —and winning her first AEW match — would dominate headlines in wrestling media. Pick: Kairi Sane (fingers crossed) The Bang Bang Gang (Jay White, Juice Robinson & the Gunns) vs. The Dogs’ Dave Finlay & Clark Connors and Death Riders Danny Garcia & Wheeler Yuta in a Tailgate Brawl Sean Rueter: Since TK’s said doing say increases buys, my main question is, “How this is going to bleed over into the pape”? I think they’ll start the show with the National title match, and that will somehow spill out of this. Oh, see my earlier “bad night for Death Riders”. Pick: The Bang Bang Gang Claire Elizabeth: Babyface preshow tag rule prevails over all other considerations. And have you noticed that Juice is a coach now? The deal is sealed, folks. Pick: Bang Bang Gang Cain A. Knight: Blood & Guts is coming up soon and I assume the Death Riders will be part of it. They should probably win this match, if that’s the case, but I feel strange picking that loser Daniel Garcia to actually win something. Pick: The Dogs & Death Riders Manolo H. Pizzazz: Juice Robinson will call the right plays for the Collision Cowboys to ride for victory. Pick: Bang Bang Gang Marcus Benjamin: I gotta go with the team with the theme I like more. Pick: The Bang Bang Gang Kyle Decker: I think if you’re putting the Death Rider’s C team in there, they’re going to be the ones taking the loss. Pick: The Bang Bang Gang Jon Velez-Jackson: This will be a mess of a match. Pick: Bang Bang Gang Jack Perry vs. Katsuyori Shibata Sean Rueter: Nope. Nothing against Dylan’s kid, but I will not pick him over The Wrestler, no matter what the obvious outcome. Pick: Katsuyori Shibata Claire Elizabeth: Jungle Man’s got a jungle plan to kick Shibata’s can. Pick: “Jungle Man” Jack Perry Cain A. Knight: There are too many matches on this card, and we haven’t even hit Khan’s preferred number of 13 or 14 yet. Perry’s tune-up match ahead of his eventual slaughter at the hands of Samoa Joe certainly doesn’t need to be here. Pick: “Jungle” Jack Perry Manolo H. Pizzazz: Jungle Man will trap a killer in his snare to get the bigger game. Pick: Jack Perry Marcus Benjamin: If this is all about Jack getting to hunt Samoa Joe, then it’s obvious how this works. Pick: Jack Perry Kyle Decker: This was set up as an obstacle Perry needs to clear before facing Samoa Joe. I assume he’ll make it to the final boss of this venture. Pick: Jack Perry Jon Velez-Jackson: Samoa Joe will show up and put the boots to Perry, though (I guess?) giving a loss to Shibata via DQ. Pick: Jack Perry That’s who we’ve got. Who are you taking, Cagesiders?

Will Ospreay feels like the f***ing champion. That was the money line to hype his world title defense against Jon Moxley for All Out. The go-home episode of Dynamite (Sep. 23, 2026) also featured Hangman Page picking at old scabs with Swerve Strickland, Adam Copeland delivering a conchairto, Darby Allin and Steven Borden high in the rafters, and more from Fishers Event Center in Indianapolis, Indiana. The f***ing champion Will Ospreay was in a good mood to open the show, and he offered Mike Bailey a spot in the United Empire. Speedball accepted with aplomb. New best bruvs! I like this fit from a personality perspective. Ospreay can be in his own head too much at times, and Bailey can be the calming presence to refocus the world champion. "Do you have anything in green?" AEW World Champion @WillOspreay and @SpeedballBailey are very, very aligned heading into their tag team match tonight! Watch #AEWDynamite LIVE on TBS & HBO Max pic.twitter.com/tuI5sMDxhm — All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) September 24, 2026 Next, Jon Moxley handled business in an AEW Continental Championship eliminator match against Dezmond Xavier. Moxley wrestled with aggression. Dez was no pushover, but I never got sucked into the action to believe in an upset. In the end, Dez connected on a running Meteora. The Rascal sat upright for the pin. Moxley snatched his neck and worked for a chokehold submission. Dez tapped out. That finish can be seen as Moxley peaking at the right time heading into the world title bout. .@JonMoxley grounds the high-flying @DezmondXavier ahead of Mox's AEW World Title Match against @WillOspreay at #AEWAllOut!

They also fit together in the ring with high-flying styles. The duo tagged against Claudio Castagnoli and Gabe Kidd. Moxley joined commentary, and he was on board with Ospreay’s choice to expand the United Empire. I chuckled at the coincidence of timing as Moxley said, “push,” in a different context, then Kidd pushed Bailey hard down to the floor. "Will taking a page out of our book, surrounding himself with great people."@JonMoxley is on commentary for this one, and he reacts to learning @SpeedballBailey is now part of AEW World Champion @WillOspreay's United Empire!

Claudio muscled up to powerbomb Bailey onto Ospreay to break both holds. Claudio continued his muscleman feats for the big swing on Ospreay. Ospreay blew my mind to counter Claudio into a DDT then followed up for the Styles Clash for victory. The transition into that move was damn impressive. Three cheers for restoring the Styles Clash as a maneuver that can actually win matches again. WHAT A COUNTER! AEW World Champion @WillOspreay gets the win for United Empire! Watch #AEWCollision LIVE on TBS & HBO Max pic.twitter.com/FGOPzA9UVL — All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) September 24, 2026 Ospreay had words for Moxley. He thanked his sensei for the tutelage turning him into the world champion. One thing led to another. Moxley stepped into the ring to ask if Ospreay feels like the world champion. Ospreay slyly dodged Kidd and struck with the Hidden Blade. He stepped to Moxley to proclaim, “Do I feel like the champion? You’re damn fucking right I feel like a champion.” Does AEW World Champion @WillOspreay FEEL like the champion, @JonMoxley? Without a doubt. Watch #AEWCollision LIVE on TBS & HBO Max pic.twitter.com/ekxsjsf23g — All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) September 24, 2026 I love the confidence from Ospreay feeling like a champion. His expletive hit harder when uncensored on myAEW. It was an exclamation point to this chapter as Moxley’s mind games failed. Let’s jam through the rest of Dynamite. Catch up on all the details with excellent play-by-play from Claire Elizabeth. AEW World Trios Championship: Swerve Strickland & New Level (c) defeated The Demand to retain the titles. The match was exciting. Even more interesting were the promos surrounding Swerve. The Demand said their piece about the champions not being a real team, then the promo train transitioned to Swerve, Kofi, and Austin Creed. It was funny how New Level questioned Swerve about his dangerous past in AEW as if they were just finding out about it. When asked if Swerve had any friends before them, Swerve was saved by the bell, or rather theme music. He went to the ring without answering. We're starting things off with the AEW World Trios Championship Match! But after The Demand make their intentions clear, Swerve and The New Level take a little stroll down memory lane … Watch #AEWDynamite LIVE on TBS & HBO Max pic.twitter.com/WnAIaAHr8C — All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) September 24, 2026 The match was as fun as expected. Toa Liona was great as a monster. There was plenty of high-flying. The broken pinfalls were doozies as well. For example, Ricochet landed a 450 splash to break the pile. In the end, Swerve and the New Level showed that they are indeed a team. Swerve helped Kofi hit his finisher on Liona by kick-starting with the House Call stepping off the back of Austin Creed. Honestly, it looked more like Liona hit a DDT than Kofi actually doing anything to him. The champs piled on top for the pin. I love the detail of the triple pin given that Liona was such a beast throughout the match. and the champs were urgent to make that moment matter for victory. #AndStill! Swerve and The New Level defend their AEW World Trios Championship in an INCREDIBLE match! Watch #AEWDynamite LIVE on TBS & HBO Max pic.twitter.com/oOjCaAqptv — All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) September 24, 2026 Business picked up after the match. The champs advance to All Out to face Hangman Page and Brodido. The challengers came to the ring for a promo battle. Things got interesting when Hangman bickered with Swerve. I didn’t think there was juice still left in that feud, and I’m glad to be wrong. The tension was ice cold, as in stone cold killers. Hangman hinted to New Level at Swerve’s scandalous nature, to which Swerve pointed the finger back at the cowboy. Those two men are no different from one another. I like the New Level standing up for their new partner. That hammers the idea that they really are a team. I also laughed at how Brody King mentioned it’s only been three weeks of trusting Swerve. Hangman and Brodido are here to congratulate their opponents at #AEWAllOut, Swerve and The New Level! But tensions start to simmer quickly … Watch #AEWDynamite LIVE on TBS & HBO Max pic.twitter.com/0DxRm7J3xt — All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) September 24, 2026 What I enjoyed most about this scene is that we finally get to see Swerve being Swerve again. It’s like his reputation was swept under the rug for the past month. Now we have the opportunity for character development. Does the New Level stick by Swerve through thick and thin? Do they turn heel if that’s what it takes? Does Swerve eventually turn on Kofi and Creed? There are a lot of interesting directions that can play out, and my curiosity is piqued. Tag team legends. Adam Copeland approached Darby Allin and Steven Borden with respect. However, he warned that they are coming for legends if they want to win the tag titles. Allin accepted that challenge, and Cope told him to be careful what they wish for. "You're reaching past the stars, and you're reaching for legends now. Maybe ask your dad what that means."@RatedRCope speaks clearly and directly to @DarbyAllin and @StevenBorden! And it's challenge accepted, according to Darby!

C&C were crotchety about being overlooked as legends. The Bucks and FTR both talk about becoming four-time champions. C&C will remain one-time champions. The Bucks shot back with a line about Cope breaking his body last time he jumped from heights. Zinger! That didn't take very long! Watch #AEWDynamite LIVE on TBS & HBO Max pic.twitter.com/DYjMKtkOnN — All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) September 24, 2026 That led to a melee with tables, ladder, and chairs. Recent losses from the Bucks and FTR have taken a bit of steam out of this GOATs match for me, so might as well use TLC objects to sell the stipulation instead. Cope hit a conchairto on the security guard. Copeland should be arrested. The AEW World Tag Team Champions send a message ahead of #AEWAllOut on Saturday! Watch #AEWDynamite LIVE on TBS & HBO Max pic.twitter.com/5k61b8lBFC — All Elite Wrestling (@AEW) September 24, 2026 If you are satisfied with mass carnage, then the conchairto would be a fun spot. I don’t think it meshed well with Cope’s current babyface character. It leaves me wondering if Cope is planting seeds to turn heel alongside Christian if they are challenged by Allin and Sting Jr. Then again, AEW often allows their security guards to be treated like garbage. Since this isn’t anything out of the ordinary, it’s hard to know if the conchairto had purpose or was madness for the sake of madness. Tommaso Ciampa defeated Jake Doyle. Don Callis had the plan for Doyle to inflict pain on Ciampa prior to challenging Okada at All Out. This was a raw-boned fight. Ciampa took his lumps, but he didn’t back down. He executed an avalanche Psycho Driller, but it wasn’t enough. Obligatory statement that the avalanche Psycho Driller is too cool to be a throwaway kick-out maneuver. It’s been kicked out so many times that the pin isn’t even dramatic at this point. Ciampa weathered the storm to slip out of Doyle’s finisher and blast a knee strike to the jaw. Ciampa closed with a running knee to win. Afterward, Ciampa called out Okada. In 2018, the world asked what if. Time to find out. Okada arrived on stage for a cheeky response. It will be the Rainmaker at All Out. Ciampa said he would expose Okada’s ass. I hope he didn’t mean that literally. "You are not on my level … bitch!"

Hyan packed a punch and almost won on a spear. Perse quickly regained her wits to block a sunset flip and sit down for a pin. The champ hugged the ropes for leverage out of the ref’s sight to win. Dr. Britt Baker DMD was on commentary to sass up the joint. Perse showed heel charisma in the ring. This was a strong showing for Hyan to elevate her as more than Maya World’s partner that eats the losses. Sure, Hyan lost again here, but she looked like someone to be taken seriously moving forward.

Chris Jericho and Nick Wayne engaged in another round of chatter. Wayne’s wit was sharp. Almost as sharp as the knives Jericho sticks in backs. Jericho regaled a tale about ignoring Nick Bockwinkel’s advice. Jericho sees that same youthful arrogance in Wayne. The Prodigy challenged Jericho for Grand Slam France in two weeks. This was a good setup to get that match on the books. Jericho’s been an egomaniac for most of his career, so he makes an apt teacher in this case. I like the idea of helping Wayne evolve on screen. He wore a suit, possibly for the first time. I’m curious to see what’s next. "See you in Paris, kid."@IAmJericho and @TheNickWayne are looking to meet one more time to settle things man-to-man!

Aminata won again in the CEO’s presence, so maybe she gets a lame duck title shot on TV when Moné is healthy. Blue snapped a wicked suplex off the stars down to the floor. Aminata rallied in the end with a headbutt and a running knee to Blue in the ropes. Triangle of Madness beat up Aminata and Mina Shirakawa, then Willow made the save. No remorse from @SkyeByee!

The crowd sounded tired. I was tired. To make matters more tiresome, there was no reason to care about this match this late into the night. PAC worked a slower pace, and Ace worked well for the fans to engage a little more. The crowd’s energy spiked up on this awesome springboard leg drop from Lord LargeQuad. .@The_Ace_Austin taking the fight to PAC! #AEWCollision pic.twitter.com/3yr51Utel4 — TDE Wrestling (@tde_gif) September 24, 2026 PAC closed hot with a belly-to-belly suplex into the corner followed by the sweet Black Arrow dive. All @BastardPAC needs is one opening to get the victory!

Of course, there needed to be a brawl between the Bang Bang Gang and the Death Riders & Dogs. The best part was Andrade coming out of the crowd to blindside PAC. Those two rambled through the crowd as the show went off the air. The consequences of @BastardPAC's continued attack on @The_Ace_Austin were immediate! A brawl erupts as no one is waiting for the #AEWTailgateBrawl and #AEWAllOut on Saturday!

She will be nice tonight, then she will be toxic against Willow Nightingale at All Out. "Inside everybody, there are two bitches." @Toxic_Thekla wonders if she has to explain to @WillowWrestles which one she is – because Saturday at #AEWAllOut, things are going to get TOXIC.

He agrees that Shibata is a killer, so he accepts that match for the All Out pre-show. "I said I wanted to walk among the killers. Well, there is no more of a killer anywhere in the world than Shibata."@Boy_Myth_Legend knows he'll have to survive @K_Shibata2022 at the #AEWTailgateBrawl THIS SATURDAY!

After trash talk, the Birds tossed tea in the challengers’ faces, and fisticuffs ensued. Divine Dominion stood tall with a double body slam on stage. "May the best team win." Brawling Birds were done with words, but Divine Dominion left the champions laying!

Match of the Night: Swerve Strickland & New Level vs. The Demand Sweet trios action. Grade: C+ The show was too long at close to three and a half hours, and the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze in this case. In terms of a go-home, AEW did a good job hyping the PPV matchups. They often fall a little flat on go-homes. Not so here. The action delivered as always. The matchmaking didn’t provide much mystery in the results for such a long episode.

Tonight’s (Sept. 23) episode of Dynamite featured AEW World Champion Will Ospreay teaming up with his new United Empire ally “Speedball” Mike Bailey to score a win over Death Riders Claudio Castagnoli and Gabe Kidd. The finish saw Ospreay pull off a nifty counter of Claudio’s popular Giant Swing. WHAT A COUNTER! AEW World Champion @WillOspreay gets the win for United Empire!

Mox was sitting on commentary for Ospreay’s tag match tonight, and Will sent him a message on the mic after the match was over. Ospreay thanked Mox for everything he’s done as The Ace of AEW since its inception in 2019, which includes breaking Will and forcing him to level up. With victory secured, AEW World Champion @WillOspreay takes the opportunity to address his opponent at #AEWAllOut, Jon Moxley, directly.

Mox responded by asking Ospreay if he really feels like the world champion in this scenario. Death Rider henchman Gabe Kidd attacked Will from behind at that point, only to get taken out quickly by the world champ. Ospreay got back on the mic and said, “You’re damn fucking right I feel like the champion!” Does AEW World Champion @WillOspreay FEEL like the champion, @JonMoxley? Without a doubt.

Do you agree that Jon Moxley has finally lost (or is about to lose) his long-running spot as the face of AEW? Let me know in the comments below, Cagesiders.
