AEW Clockwork Carnage Qualifiers for WrestleDream
Five Clockwork Carnage qualifying matches are scheduled for Wednesday’s three-hour Dynamite and Collision special in Cleveland. The winners will advance to the eight-man AEW World Championship match at WrestleDream on Saturday, October 17.
AEW World Champion Will Ospreay, Samoa Joe and Speedball Mike Bailey have already secured their spots in the match. Wednesday’s five qualifiers will complete the field.
- Kazuchika Okada vs. Myron Reed

How Does AEW Clockwork Carnage Work?
Clockwork Carnage begins with two randomly selected wrestlers, with another entering every three minutes until all eight have entered. During this opening stage, any wrestler pinned or submitted is eliminated from the match.
Once the final wrestler enters, the match transitions into a 15-minute scoring period. Every pinfall or submission counts as one fall, and the wrestler with the most falls when time expires wins the match and the AEW World Championship.
