This past Sunday at AEW All In: London, not only did the pro wrestling organization rock Wembley Stadium with an electrifying card and show, they also did something that often times does not occur, they sent the audience in attendance and those watching on pay-per-view around the world, home happy!

The reason is simple. The home country’s own Will Ospreay won the main event and the AEW World Heavyweight Championship before his friends, rivals, family and more. Ospreay was finally crowned the kingpin of AEW by defeating Kenny Omega to close out the show.

With All In being AEW’s version of WWE WrestleMania. in that it’s the organizations biggest event of the year, this one did not disappoint. and even didn’t feel as long (even though it clocked in at roughly 4 hours 15 minutes) for the main show as per usual with Tony Khan pay-per-views, but that’s not including the matches in the buy-in.

AEW All In truly felt like the culmination of a year’s worth of story and build, plus brought stunning returns and debuts to bring fresh blood to the roster. Throughout the night: four new champions were crowned, we got the debut of the New Level (formerly WWE’s New Day) when Kofi and Austin Creed showed up with Swerve Strickland to win the AEW Trios Championship!

In addition, Britt Baker DMD, who had not been seen in over two years, finally returned during the buy-in aiding Persephone defeat Maya Ward for the TNT Women’s Championship.  Let’s take a look at the Top Five Takeaways from All In London, a pay-per-view that going into the fall is definitely the number #1 wrestling show so far in 2026.

WILL OSPREAY ENTRANCE WAS A FIVE-HANKIE MOMENT

The AEW segment producers out did themselves with a very emotional and creative video package proceeding Ospreay’s entrance for his title bout. The package was narrated by Ospreay’s mother. She tells the story complete with retro footage of how she never thought her son would make money as a wrestler, but encouraged him to continue his dream and how proud she was of the man he has becomes. The package was cut to The Who’s “Baba O’Riley” a perfect choice from one of the all-time greatest rock bands from the UK.

However, it was Ospreay taking the long walk backstage at Wembley Stadium through the curtain to the ring ramp, and to the ring, that provided the most emotional moment of the night.

As the “Aerial Assassin” does his final walk in preparation for battle, Will passes old rivals and friends including: Zack Sabre Jr., Ricochet, Kyle Fletcher, gets a kiss from his wife, one half of the new AEW Women’s Tag Champion, Alex Windsor, then passes Callum Newman and the United Empire, and finally, Jon Moxley, who meets him at the curtain and hands him the British flag. Then, once Ospreay’s own theme music plays and the chants of “Ospreay, Ospreay” fill Wembley Stadium, it was clear this had to be his night!

As for Omega, his entrance was done in Japanese paying homage to his historic past in all the top wrestling organizations throughout the world. It was also one of the best we have ever seen for an AEW main event. During the match, Omega became a violent heel, decimating and bloodying Ospreay early on, and doing anything he could to retain his title. Meanwhile, counters and near pins were the order of the day with Ospreay coming back and rising up from what appeared to be a 20-minute beatdown. Ospreay rallied with one final hidden blade on Omega after a second One Winged Angel and a Tiger Driver 91, and cried as he received the title belt, and had his hand raised in England to the roar of the crowd!

A BROKEN NOSE AND THE TITLE THAT ALLUDED THE CEO

The woman showed up big time in their title bout with the champion Willow Nightingale defending with a legitimate broken hand against what would become a legit broken nose for her challenger, Mercedes Moné. The AEW World Women’s Championship is something up till now that has alluded the multi-belts Moné.

This was another drama-filled match with plenty of back and forth. Things took a turn when after the referee Audrey Edwards was knocked out, and she missed the count where Willow had pinned Mercedes. Eventually, Moné applied the Statement Maker, and then had Willow so wrapped up with her arm around her own neck that the champion passed out.

Finally, Mercedes Mone won the only major singles title she’s never held in her three-year plus run in AEW.

THE MEN’S TAG TEAM DIVISION MAKES A STATEMENT

In a great tag team match, The Young Bucks continued to showcase just how incredible they are as a team. However in the end, the real-life brothers lost their chance at winning the AEW Tag Team titles from the crafty veterans Christian Cage and Adam Copeland. It was odd seeing Copeland also act the heel, while we could expect that from Cage.

Late in the match, Cage faked out the referee while grabbing a metal object into his wrist brace. He later used it on Matt Jackson. Next, Copeland delivered the spear for the win. But the celebration for Cage and “Cope” ended quickly when in succession, The Motor City Machine Guns, the returning FTR and New Level all came down to the ring staking their claim that they are coming after the tag title belts.

It’s rare you see such a showcase of talent in the ring at one time; a clever move to let the industry and the fans know that if you want tag team action, AEW will be the place to find it!

LIKE FATHER LIKE SON

Darby Allin and Kevin Knight met in a Falls Count Anywhere match, which would not be complete without Allin climbing the stage scaffolding and delivering one of the longest free-falling Coffin Drop’s we have ever seen on Knight, who later was on the receiving end of yet another Coffin Drop as he was being stretchered out of the match.

However, it was the moment that will now forever live in wrestling history that will be remembered from this match. When Don Callis Family members, Brian Cage and Jake Doyle, attacked Darby in the ring and taped his hands behind his back, it was none other than Sting’s son, Steven Borden who entered the fray to save Allin. However, Cage threw Borden into a table in the turnbuckle.

With things not looking so good, the lights went out in Wembley! Suddenly the icon, Sting, came down the ring ramp with his signature bat in hand to even the odds. Sting’s arrival garnered one of the biggest pops of the night.

Then, as Sting and his son each climbed up the ladder inside the ring, they met at the top, where the younger Borden told his dad, “I’ve got this.” Next thing you know, beating on his chest just like his legendary father, Borden flew from the ladder to hit the heels with a crossbody to the floor.

Steven Borden has such a bright future ahead of him now that he is in AEW, and we predict VERY big things for the young man. Just you wait and see!

CASINO GAUNTLET GONE WILD

If you thought MJF would secure the victory to become the number one contender for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship, after holding the belt for a good portion of the year, ya better think again.

Looks like AEW is banking on Andrade El Idolo, who is finally having a major run! In the Casino Gautlet, which also brought into the match the likes of Chris Jericho, and the the big blooper of the night. That occurred when ring announcer Justin Roberts mixed-up entering Luchadors: Komander as Mistico, and then a mere few minutes later the real Mistico appeared!

Andrade, who is already the AEW National Champion, was able to steal the Gautlet by pinning Nick Wayne, much to the chagrin of MJF. Something tells us that Andrade may have his title shot upended somehow by MJF, but we shall see.
