AEW All In 2026 Picks for Every Match

Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay Prediction: AEW World Championship Match

This has been building for months, with Ospreay winning the Owen Hart Cup to earn his shot at Omega and their relationship completely falling apart along the way. Ospreay has become increasingly frustrated with Omega, particularly with Kenny questioning whether he has what it takes to carry AEW as its World Champion. That has turned what was already a massive title match into something much more personal.

It’s also crazy to think this will be just Ospreay’s second shot at the AEW World Championship. His only previous opportunity came at Forbidden Door 2024, when he lost to Swerve Strickland. More than two years later, everything about this feels set up for Ospreay’s moment. He gets Omega at Wembley Stadium, in front of his home-country crowd, with the opportunity to beat one of the biggest names in AEW history and finally reach the top of the company.

At this point, I’d be much more surprised if Omega walked out still champion. All In feels like the night AEW finally pulls the trigger on Ospreay and gives him the World Championship.

Prediction: Will Ospreay wins the AEW World Championship.

Willow Nightingale vs. Mercedes Moné Prediction: AEW Women’s World Championship Match

There’s plenty of history between these two, and this will actually be their third singles match in AEW. They’ve split the first two meetings, with both coming with the TBS Championship on the line, so All In serves as the rubber match with an even bigger prize at stake.

It may feel like Mercedes always has a championship around her waist from somewhere, but she hasn’t actually held AEW gold since losing the TBS Championship on December 31, 2025. By the time All In arrives, that will be 242 days without an AEW title.

This will also be just Willow’s second defense of the AEW Women’s World Championship, and we now know she’ll enter Wembley dealing with a hand injury. That adds another obstacle against someone who already represents arguably the biggest threat to her title. With the series tied 1-1, Willow less than 100 percent and Mercedes having gone nearly eight months without AEW gold, everything is pointing me toward a title change.

Prediction: Mercedes Moné wins the AEW Women’s World Championship.

Kyle Fletcher vs. Konosuke Takeshita vs. Kazuchika Okada Prediction: AEW International Championship Match

There’s a lot of history packed into this match. Takeshita defeated Okada for the International Championship at Double or Nothing, only for the returning Fletcher to attack Takeshita immediately afterward and side with the Don Callis Family. Fletcher eventually took the title from Takeshita at Beach Break and now enters All In making his fourth defense.

Okada makes this even more interesting. Fletcher owns two straight Continental Classic victories over him, while Takeshita has largely been out of the AEW picture since losing the title. In fact, Takeshita has wrestled just once in AEW since Beach Break, defeating The Beast Mortos, before returning to go directly after Fletcher. There’s also obvious tension between Fletcher and Okada despite both being in the Don Callis Family.

This feels like the right time to put the title back on Takeshita. Fletcher doesn’t necessarily have to take the fall in a three-way, and Takeshita regaining the championship would give him some revenge for Fletcher’s betrayal while keeping plenty of story left between all three.

Prediction: Konosuke Takeshita wins the AEW International Championship.

Adam Copeland & Christian Cage vs. The Young Bucks Prediction: AEW World Tag Team Championship Match

For everything these four have accomplished in tag team wrestling, it’s pretty remarkable that this will be the first regular tag team match between Copeland and Christian Cage and The Young Bucks. The story has leaned into exactly that, with both teams making their case as one of the defining tag teams of their respective generations.

Things have gotten more heated in recent weeks, taking some of the respect out of this dream match. An accidental superkick from the Bucks to Christian created tension between the teams, and the go-home Dynamite ended with Christian taking a cheap shot at Matt Jackson, Nick superkicking Christian and Copeland responding with a spear to Nick.

Copeland and Cage enter All In with three successful title defenses, including wins over The Dogs and Death Riders. The Bucks, meanwhile, are looking to become four-time AEW World Tag Team Champions and regain the belts for the first time since October 2024. I think that drought ends at Wembley. Copeland and Christian getting a title run together was something AEW needed to do, but the Bucks winning here gives them another major accomplishment while potentially opening the door for whatever comes next with Copeland and Christian.

Prediction: The Young Bucks win the AEW World Tag Team Championship.

Kevin Knight vs. Darby Allin Prediction: TNT Championship Falls Count Anywhere Match

Knight has quietly put together one of the most impressive title runs in AEW. Since winning the TNT Championship at Dynasty, he’s made 12 successful defenses, including wins over MJF, Mike Bailey, Chris Jericho and HOOK. He’s also had Allin’s number more often than not. This will be their fourth singles match, with Knight holding a 2-1 advantage. Interestingly enough, Knight’s only loss to Allin came when Darby was AEW World Champion.

Allin already had an opportunity to take the TNT Championship from Knight in July on Dynamite and came up short. Since then, the issues between the two have only escalated, leading us to a Falls Count Anywhere match at All In, a stipulation that certainly plays into Allin’s willingness to do just about anything to win.

Knight has also received two AEW World Championship opportunities during his TNT title reign and lost both, but that doesn’t take away from what he’s done with this belt. Still, after 12 successful defenses, this feels like the right time to end the run. Giving Allin the championship back in a match tailor-made for him makes too much sense.

Prediction: Darby Allin wins the TNT Championship.

Jon Moxley vs. Nigel McGuinness Prediction: Continental Challenge Cup Final

The inaugural Continental Challenge Cup comes down to Moxley and McGuinness at All In. Moxley earned his way to the final with wins over Jack Perry, Jay White and even fellow Death Rider Claudio Castagnoli, while McGuinness advanced by defeating Katsuyori Shibata, Hechicero and Kyle O’Reilly.

The obvious wild card here is Wembley. McGuinness wrestling in his home country should make him a huge favorite with the crowd, and beating Moxley would certainly give them a memorable moment. Still, I have a hard time picking against Moxley in a tournament final like this. Nigel getting this far already gives him a significant role at All In, but I think Moxley ultimately spoils the hometown celebration and wins the Cup.

Prediction: Jon Moxley wins.

Divine Dominion vs. The Brawling Birds Prediction: AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship Match

I love that Megan Bayne has some AEW gold alongside Lena Kross, and Divine Dominion have been dominant since winning the titles at Revolution. Still, the Brawling Birds feel like the victors here. Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor getting the win together at Wembley in their home country feels like an easy All In moment to get behind.

Prediction: The Brawling Birds win the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship.

AEW All In Casino Gauntlet Prediction

Andrade and MJF will start the Casino Gauntlet, but with much of the field still unknown, there are simply too many possibilities to make a confident pick.

MJF is the obvious easy choice. There’s plenty of history between him and Ospreay, including MJF beating Ospreay for the International Championship in their nearly 60-minute match on Dynamite in 2024 before Ospreay won the title back from him at All In. With me picking Ospreay to win the AEW World Championship later in the night, an Ospreay vs. MJF title program feels inevitable at some point. I’m just not ready to say the Casino Gauntlet is definitely how AEW gets there.

Prediction: No pick.

Trios Championship Roulette Royale Prediction

We don’t know the entire field for this one, but most of the intrigue surrounds Swerve Strickland and who could potentially join him. The widespread speculation is that Kofi Kingston and Austin Creed could make their AEW debuts as Swerve’s partners, which would immediately become one of the biggest moments of All In.

If that ends up being the trio, I have a hard time seeing them losing. Putting Swerve together with Kofi and Creed at Wembley would be a huge debut on its own, and having them walk out with the Trios Championship would make an immediate statement.

Prediction: Swerve Strickland’s team wins the AEW World Trios Championship.
