Tonight is the first bit of AEW programming since All In 2026, definitely one of AEW’s best PPVs, in no small part because it was headlined by possibly the best match they’ve ever had? Every championship except the Continental and Men’s Tag Team have changed hands, Will Ospreay has ascended to godhood, and AEW is on a… New Level! A rolling stone gathers no moss, though, as the Trios Championships will be on the line tonight!
Dynamite opens with a recap of All In, then Will Ospreay hits the ring. He apologizes for his rough state, says he’s been on a bender since Sunday, and thanks his fans old and new. He gives Kenny Omega his props and says that Kenny is still the best wrestler in the world, he just wasn’t on that night. He points out that they’re 2 and 2, and says he’d be satisfied with that, but if Kenny isn’t, he’s game. He talks about how the list of former AEW World Champions are his heroes, but now he’s among them. He says he has trouble acknowledging that he’s the guy, but it’s undeniable now. He thanks the United Empire for always having his back, and announces plans to start a branch of the faction in AEW.
The Demand then cut him off. Ricochet talks about how their careers are intertwined, and gives Ospreay his props for the match he and Kenny had on Sunday. He says Ospreay wouldn’t be where he is without Ricochet, and demands a shot.
Gabe Kidd then interrupts and says Will Ospreay took away his chance to be the first British IWGP Champion, the first British AEW World Champion, and the first Brit to win a world title in England. He swears revenge. Ricochet says that’s fine as long as his right to get the first title shot is respected. Kidd says he doesn’t want to take the title yet, so Ricochet can have the first shot, but first they should beat up Ospreay all together. They head toward the ring, but Callum Newman, Henare, and Francesco Akira make the save. Ospreay then makes the challenge for a multi-man tag.

Winners and STILL Trios Champions: The New Level and Swerve Strickland
As the champs are celebrating up the ramp, The Young Bucks come out and stare down New Level.
Matt says he won’t complain about Christian’s mild cheating because the Bucks have done much worse, but it does feel like a bit of a letdown from a fan perspective, and he wonders if the champs feel the same way. He asks for the champs, but FTR come out instead. Stoke says FTR are the only ones who matter, and accuses the Bucks of begging for another shot. Dax says it’s their turn. Nick says they’ve traded wins, but only FTR have said I Quit.
The champs come out, and Cage says the manner of victory doesn’t matter, just who wins. He says they’re supposed to be the old guys, but they won the last time they were in the ring with either team out there. Cage says they’d be better off taking a 50% pay cut and going somewhere else. Copeland says he now realizes his job is to be the voice of reason, and admits he wasn’t entirely happy with the manner of victory. He makes a challenge for a three-way match at All Out, which he says “may just involve chairs, may just involve chairs, and that match will damn sure have ladders!”
Backstage, Newman and Ospreay bicker a bit about who the leader of Empire is, before Lexy Nair asks if they have a fifth partner for tonight. Newman suggests someone who’s already in AEW and already in Empire: Andrade. Oh shit, right, Andrade is in United Empire.

They show a clip of MJF after All In, saying he didn’t even have to be in the Casino Gauntlet because he’s already the real champ, but he just had to prove himself. He blames Will Ospreay for screwing him out of the championship, says no one wants to deal with how great MJF is, and promises payback, but refuses to say when.

Wayne walks in and says that’s selling him short, and he’s the one who took Jericho out. Jericho says Wayne is better than Jericho was at 21, but he still doesn’t know how much he has left to learn. He insults Wayne’s necklace, sparking a brawl, before Wayne boots Jericho in the nards.
Mercedes Mone hits the ring. She thanks the crowd, says she hasn’t stopped smiling since All In, and says she’s finally realized the vision she had when she arrived. She says she’s now become the first person, male or female, to win a world championship in four major companies. That’s debatable. She says the one thing she needed to leave behind was Willow Nightingale. She reveals a pair of black eyes and some nose damage, but claims ultimate victory. She says she didn’t come this far just to come this far, and what she has planned doesn’t even exist yet.

Kidd tosses Andrade over the announce table where he hits Excalibur, Will Ospreay takes up for Andrade against Kidd and almost hits the Tiger Driver before Kidd hits him low, grabs a chair, the Death Riders come out. Kidd grins, but Mox pulls the chair out of his hands and they have words. Kidd picks up the chair again but Mox gets between him and Ospreay. Andrade then tackles Kidd and they brawl to the back. Mox crouches behind Ospreay, but then hands him the championship. He puts his hand on Ospreay’s shoulder as Ospreay looks on apprehensively.
