Will Ospreay Retains AEW World Championship; Young Bucks Make Tag Team History

AEW All Out 2026 took place on September 26 at the Now Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, before approximately 10,000 fans. The event featured seven title matches across the card, with Will Ospreay successfully defending his AEW World Championship against Jon Moxley in the main event. The match was structured in distinct phases, beginning with technical grappling and submission work before escalating into high-impact offense and near-falls. Ospreay's victory cemented what observers described as the start of the "Ospreay era" in AEW.

The co-main event saw the Young Bucks defeat Cage and Cope and FTR in a three-way ladder match to become four-time AEW World Tag Team Champions—a first in AEW history. All three teams received praise for their performances, with commentators noting the match met high expectations set by previous TLC encounters. The Brawling Birds retained the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championships against Divine Dominion in a Chicago Street Fight that featured weapons including chairs, barbed wire, and thumbtacks.

Other title defenses included Kazuchika Okada retaining the AEW International Championship against Tommaso Ciampa in a 21-minute match, Andrade El Idolo retaining the AEW National Championship against PAC, Swerve Strickland and The New Level retaining the AEW Trios Championship against Adam Page and Brodido, and Persephone retaining the AEW TBS Championship against debuting Dani Luna (a former TNA performer). Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight earned a future tag team title shot by defeating Darby Allin and Steven Borden; however, that match ended prematurely when Borden was knocked unconscious during a collision with Knight. Borden was transported to hospital and was reported conscious and able to recall the match.

Thekla defeated Willow Nightingale to earn a future AEW Women's World Championship opportunity against Mercedes Moné at the upcoming WrestleDream event. The show was streamed on HBO Max, Prime Video, PPV.com, YouTube, and MyAEW (outside the United States and Canada). Overall reception noted strong individual matches, though some observers cited overbooking in the main event as a minor detraction from an otherwise well-regarded card.
