Pre-sale tickets for AEW All In London 2026 are already on sale. General admission opens on Friday, 20th March. Like many Brit AEW fans, I am excited to make the pilgrimage again to Wembley. To experience the euphoria and connection that’s made this yearly August bank holiday trip a yearly highlight. Although months away, it’s easy to get a fantastic booking!
Compared to AEW’s previous two trips to Wembley Stadium, I don’t think it’s hyperbolic to say that, creatively, AEW is in its strongest position: no identity crisis or difficulties created by disenfranchised talent.
If AEW can maintain the momentum, consistency and clear sense of their own identity, history will not just be made. More than a victory for AEW in the larger Battle for Britain between themselves and WWE, we could see perception again shifting in the alternative’s favour.
At its best, AEW encourages you to do fantasy booking. To consider the possibilities and combinations. To think next week, week-to-week and months ahead. When I write “what-if” articles, I know I don’t care about getting things right/wrong. Rather, exploring the possibilities by considering a promotion’s current creative strengths, weaknesses and potential.
Here is a look at how the current storylines and seeds planted might come to bloom this August. Let’s speculate!
Faction Warfare
The AEW World Trios Championships were introduced after the first peak of three-man units and factions. A potential second wave could rise. From newly formed groups like the current champions to established, seasoned acts, AEW could do a lot with their six-man belts.
One of AEW’s strengths is multi-layered feuds woven into multi-man matches that weave clashing styles and characters into chaotic PWG-style hot messes. Plus, interlocking stories between factions and individuals.
What about a show opener pitting The Dogs against The Bang Bang Gang, The Rascalz and The Death Riders, with Marina Sharif joining Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli? Add a post-match return from Jay White, setting up a feud with former Bullet Club leaders to lead into All Out. Remember, the turnaround between All In and All Out is short. Some matches will need more connective tissue for All Out.
Stepping Stone Matches for AEW All Out
What about a three-way number one contender’s match for the AEW World Tag Team Championship? Classic rivals Jurassic Express against FTR clash with a third set of dance partners? A wildcard, hard-hitting team of Samoa Joe and Katsuyori Shibata—obstacles to add a new dynamic to a much-loved combination.
Secondly, a post-match angle could add further story to Jungle Jack Perry defending his AEW National Championship against Samoa Joe at All Out. Although this match could take place at All In, fans will chant “Cry Me A River” or “F### Punk” regardless. Plus, character-wise, Perry’s redemption started at All Out.
Elsewhere, what if Kyle Fletcher, paralleling best friend/enemy Will Ospreay, splits from the Don Callis Family? Siding with husband, Konosuke Takeshita, at All Out, Fletcher will take on Callis’ shinier new favourite boytoy, Andrade El Idolo. Yet, repeatedly attacked and outnumbered, help comes from a former rival. Mark Briscoe and The Conglomeration support The Protostar’s in a multi-man match, an 8 to 10-man tag match.
A lot of multiple-person matches, yes, but there will be plenty of big singles contests to come.
