AEW All Out 2026 Full & Final Card
The eighth annual AEW All Out pay-per-view is upon us as the NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois is currently being descended upon by a sea of All Elite Wrestling fans. The show has been sold out for a number of weeks, and the company has rewarded the fans who got their tickets early with a total of 11 matches, with seven of them having championships on the line. It's going to be an eventful night, so let's see what we have in store with a breakdown of the full and final card for AEW All Out 2026.
In one of the most anticipated main events of the year, Will Ospreay will make his first defense of the AEW World Championship against the AEW Continental Champion, Jon Moxley. It was Moxley and the Death Riders who put Ospreay on the shelf last summer, but it was also Moxley and the Death Riders who helped Ospreay become the best version of himself. Now that Ospreay is the champion, will Moxley be able to defeat the weapon that he helped create in the first place?
For the AEW World Tag Team Championships, Adam Copeland and Christian Cage will look to roll back the years at All Out as they defend their titles against The Young Bucks and FTR in a three-way Ladder Match. It's been nearly 16 years since Copeland was in any sort of Ladder Match, but both he and Cage helped popularize the match in the 1990s and 2000s. Now they are met with two teams who have been to hell and back together, and want to cement their own legacies as the greatest duo in AEW history.
It was All Out 2024 in the NOW Arena where Hangman Page and Swerve Strickland nearly killed each other in a Lights Out Steel Cage match, but this year they will write a new chapter in their violent and complicated story. Page will team up with Brody King and Bandido to challenge Strickland and The New Level for the AEW World Trios Championships. Kofi and Austin Creed have a new lease on life in AEW and want to face the best the company has to offer, but even with Strickland by their sides and the belts around their waists, they don't come much better than the combination of Page, King, and the current ROH World Champion.
Gold Will Be On The Line
Four more titles will be on the line at AEW All Out 2026, including the AEW International Championship as Kazuchika Okada will defend his title against Tommaso Ciampa. The "Psycho Killer" has wanted to face Okada for many years, but he only wants to face the version of Okada he saw in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Ciampa wants "The Rainmaker" and that's exactly who he will get this Saturday.
As for Persephone, she won't actually know who she is facing at All Out until the day of the show. She issued an open challenge for her AEW TBS Championship this Saturday, but made it clear that three women aren't allowed to answer the challenge. Maya World, mainly because she hasn't been medically cleared, Hyan because Persephone beat her on the most recent episode of "AEW Dynamite," and Thunder Rosa because both Persephone and Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D think she's pathetic. Whoever does answer the challenge will have a real challenge knocking Persephone off her game.
In a rematch from AEW All In London 2026, The Brawling Birds will give Divine Dominion their rematch for the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championships, only this time the match will be a Chicago Street Fight. Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor got their feel-good moment at Wembley Stadium when they defeated Megan Bayne and Lena Kross, but the former champions were so dominant that they think their loss at Wembley was a fluke. Windsor and Hayter will get to prove that wasn't the case in violent fashion this weekend.
Rounding out the title matches is a bout five years in the making, at least when it comes to All Out as a pay-per-view as Andrade El Idolo will defend the AEW National Championship against PAC. These two men were supposed to face each other at AEW All Out 2021 but the match was postponed due to PAC being stuck in the United Kingdom due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. They would have a pair of matches on "AEW Rampage" later that same year with each man picking up a win each, but the rubber match never came to be. A lot has changed since 2021, and with gold on the line, both men will be looking to leave Chicago with the title in hand.
Title Implications And Tailgate Brawls
The final two matches on the main card might not have gold on the line, but they both have title implications. In the case of Thekla and Willow Nightingale, they will be wrestling for the right to face Mercedes Mone for the AEW Women's World Championship at AEW WrestleDream 2026 on October 17. Nightingale defeated Thekla at AEW Redemption 2026 to win the world title in the first place, but isn't coming into this bout at 100% due to her broken hand, and with Mone currently sidelined with a broken nose, "The Toxic Spider" feels it's only right that she get back to the top of the women's division.
While the AEW World Tag Team Championships literally hang in the balance in the Three-Way Ladder Match, the number one contenders will also be decided at All Out. Current AEW TNT Champion Darby Allin will team up with Steven Borden to take on Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight of The Don Callis Family in what will be Borden's third-ever televised match in AEW. He might not be anywhere near as experienced as his opponents, but Borden has a man who won gold with his dad Sting not too long ago, and after getting the better of Knight at Wembley Stadium, Darby will be looking to take Borden one step closer to his first piece of gold.
Before things get underway on the main card, the Tailgate Brawl will air at 7PM ET on TNT and HBO MAX. The show will feature two matches to get fans excited for the show, with Jack Perry going one-on-one with Katsuyori Shibata where if Perry wins, he will edge closer to the confrontation he really wants with Samoa Joe.
The other match will be an actual Tailgate Brawl as The Bang Bang Gang take on The Dogs and the Death Riders. Juice Robinson will be coaching Jay White, Ace Austin, and The Gunns from ringside, while their opponents will be without Claudio Castagnoli and Gabe Kidd as they are working for NJPW the day after. However, the team of Daniel Garcia, Wheeler Yuta, Clark Connors, and David Finlay will be hoping they can get their night off on the right foot.
