All Elite Wrestling is live from NOW Arena in Chicago, Illinois with one of their biggest shows of the year, AEW All Out 2026.
It all gets started with the ‘Tailgate Brawl’ pre-show, kicking off at 7/6c, leading into the AEW All Out main pay-per-view event at 8/7c.
AEW ALL OUT: TAILGATE BRAWL
Renee Paquette, Mick Foley, Jeff Jarrett and RJ City welcome us to The Buy-In to a AEW All Out. From there, they talk about the card as we hear Jack Perry’s music for his ring walk in the background, presumably from Tailgate Brawl. We’ll cover both as much as possible here.
We go to a video package for Jon Moxley vs. Will Ospreay, and then return to ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey joining the pre-show hosts for talk about the match as action continues in the arena in the background. The interview wraps up and we shoot to a video package for Divine Dominion and The Brawling Birds.
“Jungle” Jack Perry vs. Katsuyori Shibata
Shibata locked Perry in a headscissors early, but Perry escaped with a headstand. The two exchanged chops until Shibata dropped Perry with a hard strike. Another chop sent Perry from the turnbuckles to the floor, where Shibata continued the attack around ringside.
Back inside, Perry answered with an uppercut before driving Shibata head-and-neck-first into the middle turnbuckle. Perry followed with a running boot. On the apron, Perry appeared to be looking for a piledriver, but Shibata escaped and delivered a vertical suplex onto the apron before hitting another suplex to the floor.
Back in the ring, the two fought on the top turnbuckle. Perry attempted a sunset flip powerbomb, but Shibata countered into a hurricanrana attempt. Perry reversed that into the Snare Trap, forcing Shibata to reach the ropes.
Perry connected with a dropkick and a double-underhook Tiger Bomb for a two-count. Shibata responded with a running chop before going for a rear choke. After more chops in the corner and a snapmare, Shibata locked in the choke.
Perry managed to counter the submission attempt, rolling Shibata into a tight cover to score the three-count.
Winner: “Jungle” Jack Perry
Jack Perry Calls Out Samoa Joe
After the match, Perry called out Samoa Joe. HOOK, Anthony Bowens and Action Andretti came out before Joe’s music hit and he made his way to the ring.
Joe and Perry went face-to-face, with Perry extending his hand. Joe turned his back instead, prompting Perry to grab his shoulder and turn him around while demanding a handshake. Joe responded by dropping Perry with a headbutt, leaving Perry down in the ring.

Hart grabbed Mina’s boot as she hit the ropes, allowing Blue to capitalize with a knee strike and DDT for two. Hart followed with a corner clothesline on Aminata before Blue connected with a cartwheel forearm and snap suplex for another near fall.
Tags on both sides brought Mina and Hart back into the match. Mina connected with a headscissors and a top-rope shotgun dropkick for two. Blue was then caught by both opponents before Aminata came off the top with a diving double stomp.
The Sisters of Sin answered with thrust kicks before applying stereo modified octopus submissions. Mina and Aminata escaped and countered with simultaneous elevated reverse DDTs.
Aminata went for a swinging neckbreaker, but Blue escaped. Hart then prevented Aminata from connecting with Off With Her Head before Aminata caught Blue with a snap swinging neckbreaker.

AEW National Championship
Andrade El Idolo (c) vs. PAC
The AEW All Out pay-per-view is now underway, and first up is the battle for the AEW National Championship with Andrade El Idolo defending against PAC. As PAC makes his way to the ring, Renee Paquette delivers her Megan Olivi-style ringside entrance report.
The bell sounds after the entrances and PAC immediately dropped Andrade El Idolo with a German suplex for a two-count. The two exchanged hurricanranas and landed on their feet before taking each other down. Idolo offered a handshake, but PAC responded with a kick to the midsection.
Idolo came back with a shot to the face and a diving cross-body for two before PAC answered with a series of elbows. PAC hit the ropes, but Idolo caught him with a dropkick. PAC rolled to the floor and Idolo attempted to follow with a dive, but PAC cut him off with a kick to the midsection.
Marina Shafir then delivered elbows to Idolo and raked his eyes as PAC returned to the ring. PAC choked Idolo with his knee before Shafir again attacked Idolo from ringside. PAC sent Idolo into the barricade, but Idolo returned the favor. Shafir attempted to interfere again.
This time, however, Idolo sent her over the barricade before delivering several chops to PAC. Idolo brought PAC back into the ring and climbed to the top rope, but PAC cut him off. Idolo responded with a back elbow and followed with a standing moonsault for a two-count.
Idolo attempted the double knees in the corner, but PAC countered with an overhead throw that sent the champion into the turnbuckles. Back on their feet, Andrade El Idolo and PAC traded strikes before the champion took PAC down twice and built momentum.
Andrade returned to his feet and went to remove his pants, but PAC tried to catch him off guard. Andrade recovered and connected with the Three Amigos before sending PAC to the floor. Andrade then removed his pants before hitting the ropes and launching himself over the top with a tornillo onto PAC at ringside.
Andrade stopped to take a selfie with a fan in the front row, but Marina Shafir came from behind and put the fan in a chokehold, distracting the champion. PAC took advantage and blindsided Andrade before bringing him back into the ring.
PAC climbed to the top rope and initially appeared to be looking for the Black Arrow, but instead connected with a 450 splash for a close two-count. PAC caught Andrade in the corner with a running kick and climbed the ropes again, but Andrade cut him off.
The champion went up after PAC and hoisted him onto his shoulders, only for PAC to counter with a hurricanrana from the turnbuckles. Andrade quickly recovered and connected with another Dia de los Muertos, but PAC rolled out of the champion’s grasp and fell to the floor before Andrade could capitalize.
Andrade followed him outside, where PAC sent the champion into the barricade with a back body drop. Both men remained down as the referee began counting, with Andrade and PAC making it back into the ring at the count of nine. PAC intercepted Andrade and set up for the Black Arrow, but the champion managed to avoid the move.
Andrade looked to follow with Dia de los Muertos, but Shafir climbed onto the apron and provided another distraction. PAC capitalized with a reverse hurricanrana before hitting the ropes and connecting with a lariat.
Rather than make the cover, PAC turned Andrade over and locked in the Brutalizer. Andrade countered the submission by shifting his weight and rolling PAC onto his shoulders, keeping him down for the three-count to retain the title.

AEW Tag-Team Championship Eliminator
Darby Allin & Steven Borden vs. Kyle Fletcher & Kevin Knight
Andrade celebrated his successful title defense as AEW transitioned to a video package for the next match. Steven Borden will make his pay-per-view in-ring debut alongside Darby Allin against Don Callis Family members Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight. The winners earn a shot at tag-team gold.
Darby Allin and Kyle Fletcher initially started the match, but Steven Borden quickly tagged himself in to face Fletcher. Borden locked up with Fletcher, who backed him into the ropes and forced a break before the two continued their exchange.

Allin attempted a springboard arm drag on Fletcher, but Knight tripped him on the top rope and sent him crashing to the floor. Fletcher then moved the ring steps before Knight sent Allin toward them, but Allin managed to stop himself.

Fletcher tagged back in and sent Allin toward the corner, but Allin countered with a reverse DDT for two. Fletcher recovered and carried Allin toward his corner, where Allin managed to make a tag to Borden that the referee did not see.
The referee ordered Borden back to the apron as Fletcher sent Allin to the floor. Fletcher brought him back inside, but Allin finally created enough separation to make the tag to Borden, who entered and unloaded on both Fletcher and Knight.
Fletcher and Knight eventually regained control and brought Borden to the floor before sending him into the barricade. Allin came back into the action with a dive onto Fletcher, but Knight quickly took Allin down and brought him back into the ring.

AEW TBS Championship Open Challenge
Persephone (c) vs. Dani Luna
Persephone made her entrance alongside Dr. Britt Baker before waiting to find out who had accepted her open challenge. Dani Luna then made her way out as the surprise challenger for the TBS Championship. The two locked up and exchanged holds before transitioning into a series of strikes.
Persephone sent Luna into the ropes, but was unable to take her down with a shoulder tackle as the challenger stood her ground. They locked up again before Persephone took Luna down and picked up a near fall. The champion followed with a belly-to-belly suplex and a fireman’s carry.
This gets another two-count as she continued to control the early action. Luna responded with a right hand that dropped Persephone, but the champion quickly fought back. Luna regained control moments later and connected with a lariat, covering Persephone for a two-count.
Luna backed Persephone into the corner, but the champion reversed with a hammer throw. Luna blocked a monkey flip and connected with a high boot, but while the referee checked on Persephone, Britt Baker knocked Luna from the turnbuckles.

Luna hoisted Persephone up and used the ropes to deliver a modified Blue Thunder Bomb, but the champion kicked out. Baker attempted to interfere again from ringside, only for Luna to catch her with a kick and send her away from the apron.
Persephone then fought Luna off on the apron and connected with a German suplex that dropped the challenger onto the edge of the ring. The champion quickly brought Luna back inside and made another cover, but Luna kicked out at two.
Persephone took too much time setting up for a Lionsault, allowing Luna to knock the champion onto the apron. Luna then pulled Persephone up from the apron and delivered a release German suplex back into the ring, but the champion managed to kick out at two.
Luna kept the pressure on with another lariat before connecting with a fireman’s carry slam for another near fall. Baker then grabbed Luna by the hair from ringside while the referee was occupied, providing another opening for Persephone to recover.
Luna turned her attention to Baker and took her out at ringside with a tope, but the distraction allowed Persephone to respond with a tope of her own. Persephone briefly checked on Baker afterward before turning her attention back to the challenger.
Luna attempted another release German suplex from the apron, but Baker grabbed onto Persephone’s legs from the floor to prevent the move. The interference allowed Persephone to escape Luna’s grasp and make her way back inside the ring.
Persephone quickly capitalized on the opening, catching Luna with the Razor’s Edge and making the cover. Luna was unable to kick out this time, giving Persephone the three-count and another successful defense of the TBS Championship.

Ciampa returned the favor moments later and slapped Okada, who responded with a boot before taking the challenger down with a head-scissors. Ciampa escaped and applied a side headlock, maintaining his grip when Okada attempted to shove him away by grabbing the champion’s hair.
The two eventually reached a stalemate before Okada offered his hand, only to flip off Ciampa instead. That led to an exchange of strikes before Okada attempted the Rainmaker, but Ciampa escaped and looked for a knee strike. Okada avoided the attack as well and rolled to the floor, creating some separation from the challenger.
Okada eventually returned to the ring as Ciampa hit the ropes and connected with a knee strike that knocked the champion from the apron. Ciampa followed Okada to ringside and continued the attack as the referee began his count. Ciampa briefly rolled back into the ring to break the count before returning outside and bringing Okada back in.

The champion hooked the leg for the cover, but Ciampa kicked out at two to keep the International Championship match going.

Okada countered and connected with a bodyslam, but Ciampa escaped an attempted Rainmaker and answered with a Backstabber for a near fall. Ciampa brought Okada toward the corner, but the champion escaped and sent him to the canvas.
Callis left the commentary desk and argued with the referee, allowing Okada to grab a screwdriver while the official was distracted. Okada came off the turnbuckles with the weapon, but Ciampa intercepted him with a knee strike before the screwdriver could be used.
Ciampa went for another knee strike, but Okada countered with a German suplex. Ciampa avoided a Rainmaker before running into a dropkick, then ducked another Rainmaker attempt and connected with a running knee for a close two-count.

The champions continued their attack and sent Bayne out of the ring before turning their attention to Kross. Windsor hit the ropes, but Bayne struck her with a trashcan lid before returning to the ring and going after Hayter.
A gold chair was brought into play as Bayne drove it into Windsor’s face in the corner. Hayter attempted to suplex Kross from the apron, but Bayne caught Hayter with a boot that sent her into Kross on the floor.

Kross held Windsor by the arms over the top rope while Bayne repeatedly struck the champion across the back with a kendo stick. Hayter recovered and broke up the attack with a cross-body before taking possession of the kendo stick and using it on both challengers.
Windsor joined her partner as the champions used the stick to deliver a side legsweep to continue their comeback. Bayne returned to her feet with a barbed-wire chair, but Hayter dropkicked the chair directly into her face. Windsor then brought a trash can into the ring and placed it over Kross.
Hayter connected with a missile dropkick for a two-count. All four women returned to the fight and exchanged strikes until everyone eventually went down. They slowly recovered and each took a seat in a chair before trading strikes while seated, eventually getting back to their feet and continuing the exchange.

Thekla followed by coming off the turnbuckles with a double stomp directly onto Willow’s injured hand. Thekla went into her spider pose and charged with a spear, but Nightingale managed to bridge out of the ensuing pin attempt before the three-count.
Thekla taunted Willow with another spider pose, but Nightingale responded by setting up for a lariat off the ropes. Julia Hart then ran to ringside and distracted the referee, allowing Skye Blue to attack Willow’s injured hand with one of the STARDOM championships.
Blue then occupied the referee while Hart attempted to interfere, but Hart accidentally struck Thekla instead. Willow sent Hart out of the ring and covered Thekla, but the mistake was not enough to keep her down for the three-count.
Thekla recovered and immediately went back after Willow’s injured hand, continuing to target it before delivering two more stomps. The damage was enough for Thekla to make the cover and secure the victory.

AEW World Tag Team Championship – Three-Way Ladder Match
Adam Copeland & Christian Cage (c) vs. FTR vs. The Young Bucks
A video package aired to hype the three-way Ladder Match for the AEW World Tag Team Championship. Back at ringside, FTR made their entrance accompanied by Big Stoke before The Young Bucks headed to the ring.
The champions were out next, with Adam Copeland making his entrance first as the crowd reacted to the arrival of the defending AEW World Tag Team Champions.
The match immediately broke down into a six-man brawl, with Dax Harwood focusing his attack on Copeland. Cope narrowly avoided being hit with a ladder before getting back into the ring, where he and Cage combined to take down Matt Jackson.
The champions retrieved chairs from ringside, and Harwood attempted to intervene before being struck in the face with them. A near collision between Cope and Cage created an opening for The Young Bucks, who took control and attacked both the champions and FTR.
Cope and Cage recovered and sent FTR and Nick Jackson to the floor before dropping Matt onto the chairs. The champions attempted a Conchairto, but Matt escaped and Nick returned to take both men down before FTR tried to capitalize.
The champions quickly recovered and connected with dives that sent their opponents to the floor. They brought a ladder into the ring, but Nick stopped Cage and then prevented Copeland from climbing toward the championships before catching Cope with a dropkick.
FTR returned and battled The Young Bucks until the champions rejoined the fight and regained control. Cope and Cage positioned Matt and Nick in the corner and used the ladder against them, but FTR responded by sending both champions into the ladder.
The Bucks returned to the attack, but FTR initially took them down before Nick escaped to the corner and launched himself onto Copeland. Matt followed with a double bulldog on FTR before catching Cage with a monkey flip onto a ladder propped against the ropes.
Nick lifted the ladder as Matt climbed the turnbuckles, but Copeland returned to stop their attack and sent Nick to the floor. The champions took Matt out as well before Cope went to ringside and retrieved a taller ladder.
Cash Wheeler entered and pulled the ladder away before attempting to climb for the championships, but Copeland stopped him. Cope then positioned the taller ladder across the middle rope, creating a platform inside the ring.
Harwood returned and suplexed Copeland onto the ladder, sending both men crashing down. Cage and Wheeler followed with splashes onto their respective opponents before Cash recovered first and stood the ladder upright.
Wheeler began climbing before Cage followed from the opposite side, but The Young Bucks stopped both men. The Bucks moved the ladder into the corner and took out Wheeler before Nick connected with a Backstabber on Cage.

Cage battled Nick in the corner before delivering an avalanche Killswitch onto a ladder lying across the canvas. Copeland returned and directed Cage toward the ladder before grabbing a chair to keep FTR away as Christian began climbing.
Big Stoke entered the ring and caught Copeland with a low blow, forcing Cage to abandon his climb and go after him. Stoke stopped Cage before attempting to climb the ladder himself and reach the championships.
Copeland recovered and tipped over the ladder, sending Stoke over the top rope and through a table at ringside. Cope then started climbing, but FTR returned with chairs and stopped the champion before setting him up on the apron.
Harwood and Wheeler combined to deliver a stuffed piledriver to Copeland on the apron. The Young Bucks returned moments later, sending Wheeler to the floor before connecting with the TK Driver on Harwood.
The Bucks set up two tables at ringside, placing Harwood on one and Copeland on the other. Matt and Nick climbed a tall ladder on the floor before simultaneously coming off with a splash onto Harwood and an elbow drop onto Cope through the tables.
Cage eventually returned to his feet, but Wheeler launched himself through a ladder with a dive to take him down. Matt and Nick slowly recovered from their table dives, with Matt bleeding from the arm as another ladder was brought into the ring.
Harwood and Copeland returned with ladders of their own before Wheeler and Cage rejoined the action. Three ladders were eventually positioned in the middle of the ring as all six men began climbing toward the championships at the same time.
The six men exchanged strikes near the top of the ladders until Copeland delivered a spear that sent Nick crashing back to the canvas. FTR followed by connecting with the Shatter Machine on Cage, leaving the champions down.
FTR started climbing, but the champions recovered and stopped them before trapping Harwood’s head between the ladder rungs. Cope and Cage then delivered a Conchairto to Harwood while Wheeler continued trying to reach the titles.
The champions intercepted Wheeler, but Cash tipped one ladder over and sent Copeland crashing to the floor. Cage remained on his ladder and continued fighting Wheeler until The Young Bucks returned and sent Cash down, with his leg catching the top rope on the way.
Matt and Nick then grabbed Cage and connected with the BTE Trigger, sending Christian down into the corner. The Young Bucks climbed the ladder and pulled the championships from above the ring to win the match and the titles.

Will Ospreay (c) vs. Jon Moxley
It’s main event time!
A video package airs promoting the return of Wardlow before commentary turned its attention to the World Championship main event. A video package recapped the issues between Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley leading into their championship match.
Moxley made his entrance first through the crowd before entering the ring for the main event. A live violin performance then began for the arrival of Ospreay, developing into an orchestral presentation as a video inspired by the Assassin’s Creed video game series played on the screen ahead of the champion’s entrance.
The crowd was firmly behind Ospreay as the bell sounded and the two locked up, with Moxley gaining the early advantage before the champion broke free. They exchanged hammerlocks and other holds until Ospreay looked for Deathground, forcing Moxley to reach the ropes for a break.
They locked up again as Ospreay attempted to knock Moxley down, but the challenger took him to the canvas before Ospreay countered and brought the exchange to a stalemate. A test of strength ended with Moxley chopping Ospreay into the corner.
Ospreay responded with a chop of his own and escaped Moxley’s grasp before sending the challenger to the floor. The champion followed him outside with a springboard dive and continued the attack before bringing Moxley back into the ring.
The action moved to the corner and eventually onto the turnbuckles, where Moxley bit his way free from Ospreay before raking the champion’s back. Mox then grabbed a front facelock and delivered a DDT that drove Ospreay’s head into the turnbuckle.
Ospreay rolled to the floor as the referee began counting, but managed to return to the apron before reaching ten. Moxley immediately knocked him back down and followed outside, sending the champion into the ring steps before driving his face into them.
Moxley returned to the ring to break the count while Ospreay recovered at ringside before eventually making his way back inside. Mox immediately targeted the champion’s head and face until the referee intervened and forced him to break the attack.
Moxley followed with a neckbreaker for a one-count before turning his attention to Ospreay’s back and pulling him up by the hair. The challenger then attacked Ospreay’s fingers and stomped on his hand before the champion fought back with forearm strikes.
Mox stopped the comeback and took Ospreay back to the canvas, targeting his hand before shifting his attack to the head and neck. Mox then dragged the champion toward the center of the ring and set him up for a delayed piledriver.
Moxley held Ospreay in position before dropping him on his head with the piledriver and making the cover for a two-count. Ospreay fought back to his feet, but Mox continued striking him before attempting a Gotch-style piledriver.
Ospreay blocked the attempt and responded with chops before Mox sent him toward the ropes. The champion attempted a corkscrew kick, but Mox caught him and transitioned directly into an STF to keep Ospreay grounded.
Ospreay worked his way partially back to his feet as Mox continued targeting the neck, eventually countering into a straightjacket-style hold. Mox escaped, but Ospreay hit the ropes and finally connected with the corkscrew kick.
Both men returned to their feet and Ospreay connected with a series of strikes before Mox sent him toward the corner. Ospreay answered with a dropkick for a two-count as the champion began building momentum.
Ospreay continued unloading with strikes before connecting with a Skytwister Press. The champion hooked the leg, but Moxley kicked out at two as the AEW World Championship main event continued.
Ospreay broke free as Moxley headed toward the corner and charged with a lariat, but the champion ducked it. Mox quickly recovered and caught Ospreay with a sleeper suplex before following with a Gotch-style piledriver for a close two-count.
Mox taunted Ospreay as the champion struggled back to his feet before dropping him again with a forearm. Ospreay continued fighting through more strikes, but Mox eventually connected with a lariat and headed to the corner looking to finish him off.
Mox charged and attempted a stomp, but Ospreay prevented himself from being driven into the canvas and fought back to his feet. The champion unloaded with strikes before connecting with a powerbomb for two and immediately transitioning into a Styles Clash for another near fall.
Ospreay kept the pressure on and hit the ropes before connecting with the Oscutter, but Moxley again kicked out at two. The champion headed to the corner and removed his elbow pad as he prepared to deliver the Hidden Blade.
Marina Shafir climbed onto the apron to distract Ospreay as the Death Riders made their way toward ringside, but members of United Empire arrived to intervene. Ospreay inadvertently knocked the referee to the floor while continuing his fight with Moxley inside the ring.
The Death Riders attacked United Empire at ringside as Ospreay took Mox down and made a cover, but there was no referee available to count the pin. Daniel Garcia and Wheeler Yuta entered the fight before Francesco Akira and Mike Bailey engaged them.
Bailey sent Shafir to the floor, only for PAC to attack him with a briefcase. PAC entered the ring with the briefcase, but Andrade El Idolo pulled him back outside and connected with Dia de los Muertos before giving Ospreay the United Empire gesture.
Ospreay took advantage and connected with the Hidden Blade on Moxley before preparing to deliver another. Shafir intervened and struck Ospreay with the briefcase, then pulled the referee back into the ring as Mox made the cover.
The referee counted two before Ospreay kicked out to keep his championship reign alive. Shafir then entered the ring and attacked the referee as Moxley moved away, bringing more members of United Empire into the fight.
Alex Windsor and Jamie Hayter came down and took out Shafir before joining the United Empire side of the ringside brawl. Yuta attempted to intervene, but was sent outside as Windsor and Hayter continued fighting with Yuta and Shafir.
Back inside the ring, Moxley drove Ospreay to the canvas and considered using the briefcase himself. Mox eventually picked it up and struck the champion before throwing it aside and making the cover as another referee rushed down to count the fall.
Ospreay managed to kick out again before Moxley delivered a Paradigm Shift, followed by another and then a Death Rider DDT. Mox covered the champion once more, but Ospreay again got his shoulder off the canvas before the three-count.
Mox immediately transitioned into a bulldog choke as Ospreay began to fade, but the champion kept his arm up when the referee checked on him. Ospreay eventually bit Moxley’s arm to force his way out of the submission hold.
Ospreay capitalized on the opening by connecting with the Hidden Blade before following with the Storm Breaker. The champion wasn’t finished and returned to the corner as Moxley struggled to get back to his feet.
Ospreay called for Mox to turn around and connected with one final Hidden Blade. The champion made the cover and picked up the three-count to successfully retain the AEW World Championship.
Ospreay slowly returned to his feet and was presented with the AEW World Championship, raising the title as he stared down Moxley. After a replay of the finish, Mox took the championship away from Ospreay.
Moxley then presented the title himself to Ospreay before leaving the ring. Mox and Shafir made their way out through the crowd as Ospreay’s music played and the champion continued celebrating inside the ring.
Ospreay raised the AEW World Championship as the broadcast came to an end, bringing the 2026 AEW All Out pay-per-view from NOW Arena in Chicago, Illinois to a close. Thanks for joining us!
