All Elite Wrestling returns to London's Wembley Stadium for its biggest pay-per-view of the year, All In.

Sunday's card features some extraordinary matchups, headlined by Kenny Omega defending the AEW World Championship against Will Ospreay.

Who will emerge victorious from that match and the others on the packed card? Find out in this preview of the August 30 event.

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

Three former allies in The Don Callis Family will square off Sunday in a match with plenty of potential to be the best of this year's All In.

Fletcher is among the brightest young stars in professional wrestling and someone whose skills place him among the best in-ring performers of the last two years. The same could be said of Takeshita, who has been part of some of the best bouts AEW has produced in that same span.

Then, there is Okada, who has a long history of performing at his best in the biggest matches and moments.

Take all three, with a tangled web of a story and the unpredictable element of Callis, and there is plenty to keep an eye on in London.

Any of the three can leave with the gold, but this feels like Fletcher's match to win. The Protostar retains the gold and moves on from his former teammates and their long-running rivalry.

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

This might be the toughest match to predict on the entire All In card.

Common sense suggests Allin avenges the betrayal by Knight and stands tall at one of the company's signature events. While that may be the eventual outcome, it is one that does a disservice to The Jet.

First, Allin does not benefit in any measurable way from beating Knight, other than to pay off a storyline with the babyface going over. He is a former world champion, has already worn the TNT title twice, and has stood victoriously on the All In stage.

A win for Knight would not only further validate him as one of the future cornerstones of AEW, but also enhance his TNT Championship reign.

A loss, even to a top-tier star like Allin, would hurt his momentum after months of Tony Khan and AEW attempting to establish him as one of the promotion's next big things.

Knight wins here, undoubtedly via nefarious means, and retains his title in a match that should do plenty to protect Allin from a booking perspective.

AEW Women's Tag Team Championship: Brawling Birds vs. Divine Dominion

Divine Dominion's Lena Kross and Megan Bayne have dominated the competition since capturing the AEW Women's Tag Team Championship from Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron in March, but their five-month reign runs out Sunday.

The Brawling Birds' Alex Windsor and Jamie Hayter return home to England and do the unthinkable by defeating the seemingly insurmountable tandem to capture the gold in a defining moment in both women's careers.

Expect a hard-hitting war that ends with the challengers finally overcoming Bayne and Kross to take the titles in the first big, fan-service moment of what figures to be many.

Prediction: Brawling Birds win the titles

Casino Gauntlet Match to Determine No. 1 Contender to AEW World Championship

Announced in advance of Sunday's big multi-man match to determine the top challenger for the most coveted prize in the company are Andrade El Idolo and MJF, with strong indications that Tommaso Ciampa and Chris Jericho will also enter the contest.

The match has been the setting of more than one memorable AEW debut over the years and, while that may be the case again as the company pulls out all stops to make the London show feel like a spectacle, this one should center on El Idolo and The Salt of the Earth.

El Idolo and MJF have been entwined in an escalating rivalry for months, with the former's betrayal of the heel at Forbidden Door being the difference in the heel team's loss to Team Briscoe in the Death's Door steel cage match.

Their rivalry is at the center of the contest, and while El Idolo has become a legitimate success story in his second run with the company, this is MJF's match to win.

The story of the world title picture in AEW in 2026 has been all about MJF. Sure, Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay headline Sunday's show and Darby Allin had a stint as champion, but it is MJF who has best filled the role of Triple H circa 2000 as the centerpiece heel who always finds himself in the mix, regardless of which wrestler has his attention.

MJF wins here to earn a future title shot at the winner of Sunday's main event, and inevitably he ends the year holding the gold.

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

In a perfect world, McGuinness would pay off his run through the Continental Classic tournament with an inspiring victory in front of his friends and family in London.

That may still happen, especially at a show in which the company tends to deliver happy endings.

Unfortunately, it seems rather unlikely that McGuinness beats the company's measuring stick, Moxley, for the AEW Continental Championship.

Unless the goal is for McGuinness to lose it in short order in an attempt to put over a heel, it would seem like the most logical outcome is a match in which the Londoner shows the toughness that he has throughout his storied career before succumbing to the reigning champion.

A show of respect after the contest should ease the fans' dissatisfaction over the finish.

Prediction: Moxley wins the tournament, retains the title

AEW World Tag Team Championship: Adam Copeland and Christian Cage vs. Young Bucks

Two of the most influential teams of the last 25 years square off in London as Copeland and Cage defend the AEW World Tag Team Championship against The Young Bucks.

A dream match for fans of tag team wrestling, it should have a red-hot crowd behind it as the prospects of the two teams battling again are relatively low, with age and story dictating this could be their sole meeting.

Copeland and Cage captured the gold from FTR at Double or Nothing on May 24. The challengers earned this title opportunity by teaming with The Rated R Superstar to defeat The Don Callis Family.

Though the story could have been a bit better for a match of this magnitude, the athletes involved and their rich history in the industry sells itself.

The Bucks winning would be a big moment, especially on this stage, but it feels a bit early in the champions' reign to switch the titles, especially with another notable dream match potentially waiting.

AEW Women's Championship: Willow Nightingale vs. Mercedes Moné

Mercedes Moné won the 2026 Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament to earn a shot at the AEW Women's World Championship, setting up a showdown with old rival Willow Nightingale that has produced some of the best TV of this build to All In.

Nightingale proving to be the obstacle Moné cannot hurdle to win the title that has eluded her to this point in her AEW run would have been an intriguing story and one that the company easily could have told with a successful title defense by the babyface in London.

However, Tony Khan confirmed during a media call ahead of All In that Nightingale is suffering from a legitimately broken hand (h/t Fightful ). She still plans on competing but depending on how long the recovery time is, it would certainly appear as though that outcome is no longer on the table.

It may never have been, either, with Moné's comeback and victory in the aforementioned tournament seemingly pointing toward the triumphant moment at AEW's signature event.

Participants: Hangman Adam Page and Brodido (champions), The Death Riders, The Dogs, The Bang Bang Gang, The Demand, and a Mystery Team

AEW World Trios champions "Hangman" Adam Page, Bandido and Brody King will defend their titles in a Trios Roulette Royale match, with some incredibly tough competition.

There is a mystery team yet to be revealed and, considering Swerve Strickland's confrontation with the champions in Las Vegas on Dynamite, one would have to assume he would be part of that threesome. Who would be his partners, though?

Who? Could it be a New Day in AEW? Perhaps.

If it is and the duo of Austin Creed and Kofi Kingston make their debuts alongside Swerve Strickland, they are the obvious winners. If not, a successful title defense is in order.

AEW World Championship: Will Ospreay vs. Kenny Omega

The build to Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay for the AEW World Championship has been lacking, but there is more than enough established history between the two to get fans excited about the rare matchup.

Omega holds two victories over Ospreay in their three contests, with the lone loss coming after The Aerial Assassin, then a heel with The Don Callis Family, used a screwdriver on his forehead and finished him with a career-threatening Tiger Driver 91.

The champion has claimed that victory is without merit thanks to the circumstances, setting Ospreay up to prove he can beat The Best Bout Machine in his hometown of London and with the top prize in the company on the line.

It is a big-money matchup between two wrestlers synonymous with "best in the business" conversations over the last decade and a contest befitting the moment.

While there is a possibility that AEW and Tony Khan could swerve the wrestling world with a stunning outcome, this feels like the biggest foregone conclusion of any on the card.

Ospreay heads to the top of the company in a career-defining moment.
