Will Ospreay will defend the AEW World Championship against Jon Moxley at AEW All Out on Saturday, September 26, 2026, according to announcements made by All Elite Wrestling. The championship match was officially set during the closing moments of the September 2 episode of AEW Dynamite in Allen, Texas, after Moxley intervened in a post-match physical confrontation involving the champion.
AEW All Out 2026 Main Event Details
The title match announcement followed a six-man tag team main event on AEW Dynamite where Will Ospreay teamed with Andrade El Idolo and United Empire to defeat The Dogs and The Demand, according to WrestlingHeadlines.com. Following the bell, Gabe Kidd attacked Ospreay and Andrade, grabbing a steel chair before Jon Moxley ran down to the ring to stop the assault. Andrade then returned to spear Kidd, sending their brawl into the backstage area. Moxley remained in the ring, retrieved the AEW World Championship belt, and placed it across Ospreay’s shoulder.

Prior History Between Ospreay and Moxley
This upcoming pay-per-view encounter marks another chapter in the ongoing rivalry between the two top stars. At the same London event, Moxley successfully retained the AEW Continental Championship against Nigel McGuinness. The September clash will not be their first singles meeting of 2026; Moxley previously defeated Ospreay to retain the Continental Championship at AEW Dynasty in April, according to WrestlingHeadlines.com.
Added Championship Matches on the Card
In addition to the world title main event, AEW promoted a second major title bout earlier in the September 2 broadcast. Cope and Christian Cage will defend the AEW World Tag Team Championships against FTR and The Young Bucks in a three-way ladder match, according to WrestlingHeadlines.com. The stipulation arose after The Young Bucks confronted the champions regarding the finish of their match at All In, where Cope admitted he was unhappy with the victory because Cage utilized a wrench without his knowledge. FTR subsequently joined the segment, leading Cope to propose a match utilizing chairs, tables, and ladders.
