All Elite Wrestling delivered a high-stakes night of professional wrestling at the sold-out NOW Arena in Chicago, Illinois, hosting the All Out 2026 pay-per-view event on HBO Max according to All Elite Wrestling. Across nine matches featuring seven championships, the card reshaped the promotion’s upper echelon, highlighted by a brutal main event clash where Will Ospreay turned back the challenge of Jon Moxley.
Heading into the main event, Ospreay carried a career hurdle: he had never beaten Moxley in singles competition. With outside involvement from factions including the Death Riders, United Empire, and The Brawling Birds, Ospreay had to dig deep into his repertoire to overcome the AEW Continental Champion and retain the AEW World Championship.
Championship Shifts and Title Defenses
While Ospreay held firm at the top of the card, the rest of the championship roster experienced significant movement. In the chaotic ladder match for the AEW World Tag Team Titles, the Young Bucks outlasted Cope and Cage and FTR to capture the tag team gold for a record-setting fourth time reported by All Elite Wrestling.
Other notable matches on the card included a grueling AEW World Trios Championship encounter where Swerve Strickland and The New Level outlasted former champions Adam Page and Brodido. The match re-ignited personal tensions between Strickland and Page in the very arena where their rivalry nearly peaked two years prior.
Challengers Emerge for WrestleDream
The event also set the stage for AEW’s upcoming pay-per-view, WrestleDream. Thekla secured a title opportunity against AEW Women’s World Champion Mercedes Moné by defeating Willow Nightingale. Following the victory, Moné confronted her new challenger in the ring, establishing the immediate direction for the women’s division.
In other action, AEW National Champion Andrade El Ídolo notched his fifth successful defense by defeating PAC in the opening contest, while Kazuchika Okada successfully turned away Tommaso Ciampa to keep the AEW International Title secure.
