MJF, Will Ospreay, Real Winners and Losers of AEW All In 2026 Match Card

AEW's biggest show of the year was once again one of their best of 2026 so far as All In delivered in spades from Wembley Stadium in London.

Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay's highly-anticipated main event was the focal point of the pay-per-view, but the rest of the card featured its fair share of marquee matches with multiple title changes and memorable moments.

The event also effectively set the stage for the months to come with Andrade El Idolo earning an opportunity at the AEW World Championship and The New Level making their heavily-rumored debuts in the tag team ranks.

Names who played a pivotal role in previous installments of All In either fell under the radar this year or emerged as afterthoughts. Some outcomes were predictable yet satisfactory, while others were surprising and questionable.

These are the real winners and losers of AEW All In 2026.

Winner: Britt Baker

The star of an otherwise uneventful All In pre-show was the returning Britt Baker, who had not been seen on AEW TV in nearly two years.

Her last major match came at All In 2024 in a loss to then-AEW TBS champion Mercedes Moné. She resurfaced once again getting involved in TBS title business, targeting Maya World following her loss of the prestigious prize to Persephone.

Just as it looked like Baker was on her way out of the company and potentially headed to WWE, Baker made her presence felt in AEW and instantly reestablished herself as a player in the division. She automatically adds interest to the title picture and gives World a notable name to work with now that she's no longer champ.

Although it occurred on the pre-show, Baker's return was well executed and served as a nice surprise. Now the key is ensuring she can regain the relevance she once had.

Loser: Adam Page

The same man who not only headlined but won last year's All In main event for the AEW World Championship wound up opening this year's installment in a bloated AEW World Trios Championship gauntlet-style match.

Adam Page won the Trios titles only earlier this month with Brodido after being away for the better part of four months. His inability to fight for the company's top title forced him into a rather random spot that seemed like an excuse to get him (and other equally-directionless stars) on the card.

There were glimmers of greatness during the bout, but Page hardly stood out and ultimately lost the gold to the newly-formed trio of Swerve Strickland and The New Level. He has no obvious path forward outside of seeking a rematch for the belts, but the Trios title division isn't where he belongs long-term.

Page is among AEW's most popular performers and should be treated like an important attraction. Relegating him to the trios tag team division does very little to maximize his star power or lend any credibility to the titles if they're constantly changing hands.

Winner: Swerve Strickland and The New Level

All signs pointed to Swerve Strickland recruiting the former New Day in his pursuit of the AEW World Trios Championship, and sure enough, they walked away with the gold in their grasp.

Kofi and Austin Creed were languishing in WWE's tag team scene for the last year and wisely requested their release in May. AEW was the obvious landing spot for them, though the pairing with Strickland seems to benefit Strickland in the interim more than it does them.

Regardless, it was a simple use of all three men and already they have quality chemistry together. Although they're bigger than competing for the Trios titles, this win does put them in a prominent position to shine coming out of the event and they can continue to build on it going forward.

After spending so much time in WWE, The New Level are a breath of fresh air in AEW and came across as total stars in their two appearances at All In.

Loser: Kyle Fletcher

Kyle Fletcher saw his momentum cut short when he had to vacate the AEW TNT Championship earlier in the year due to an injury. However, he was able to pick up right where he left off by betraying Konosuke Takeshita upon his return and eventually unseating him for the AEW International Championship.

The build for the three-way between Fletcher, Takeshita and Kazuchika Okada heading into All In was well done with the three past and present members of The Don Callis Family members teasing tension. The match was entertaining as expected, but the outcome left a lot to be desired.

Okada regaining the gold was the least interesting outcome AEW could have gone with, as Takeshita ended his historic run at Double or Nothing. That should have led to Okada moving on up to the main event scene instead of continuing to tread water in the International title mix.

More importantly, Fletcher losing puts him right back to where he was: behind Okada in The Don Callis Family. A win would have been huge for him and defined what was shaping up to be a strong title run, but though he could still rebound if he too breaks away from the faction and embraces being a babyface.

Loser: MJF

MJF won the first-ever AEW All In main event three years, successfully defending the AEW World Championship against Adam Cole. He was involved in another marquee match the subsequent year with Will Ospreay and won last year's men's Casino Gauntlet match.

MJF is fresh off competing in the Casino Gauntlet for the second straight year, with the biggest difference this time being that he didn't emerge victorious. He had a strong showing by starting out with his rival Andrade El Idolo, but it largely felt like a waste of the three-time AEW World champion after dominating the AEW landscape prior to dropping the strap in early July.

Of course, he's still carrying around his custom title belt claiming that he's the uncrowned world champ, so it's more a matter of when than if he'll set his sights back on the gold. However, a one-on-one outing with Andrade at All In would have been a better use of both men and effectively furthered their feud.

The rest of the combatants were fine but overshadowed the more appealing story at hand with MJF and his appalling absence from the world championship conversation right now.

Winner: Men's Tag Team Division

The Young Bucks' clash with Cope & Cage over the AEW World Tag Team Championship lived up to its dream match billing, but more shockingly, Cage & Cope managed to keep their title reign intact.

AEW has added so much depth to its tag team division in the last few months alone that keeping the belts on Cage & Cope was the right call so they can face a few more fresh teams before finally being beaten.

That alone was an exciting twist, but the visual of so many top tandems facing off afterward emphasized just how stacked the scene is at the moment. Cage & Cope, Young Bucks, FTR, The Motor City Machine Guns and The New Level are an incredible core to build around.

The many match possibilities can carry the tag title picture through the next six months at least and put more eyes on the twin titles than ever before. The division largely lost its luster a few years back but has been rejuvenated in a massive way coming out of All In.

Tag team wrestling is alive and well in AEW.

Loser: AEW Women's World Championship Picture

Whenever Willow Nighingale has ever won the big one, it hasn't been long after that she's lost it, and All In was unfortunately no exception.

It was only a month ago at Redemption that she dethroned Thekla for the AEW Women's World Championship, leaving Thekla without anything substantial to do at All In. On paper, Nightingale defending against women's Owen Hart Cup winner Mercedes Moné was the bigger match, but Thekla deserved to be involved in some capacity after carrying the division all 2026 long.

Instead, Thekla had to resort to sitting in the crowd watching Moné prematurely end Nightingale's championship reign. The matchup itself was largely great, but it ended the same way as Nightingale's Double or Nothing 2024 encounter with Moné over the TBS title.

Although Moné is more natural as a heel, her facing Thekla for the AEW Women's World Championship would have been the fresher match. It also would have made Moné's title win that much more monumental following Thekla's lengthy run as champ.

Nightingale returns to chase mode, Moné is finally where she should have been long ago, and Thekla is the odd woman out despite the hot momentum she had as recently as July.

Winner: Will Ospreay

It was an emotional homecoming for Will Ospreay in England as The Aerial Assassin came out on top in his epic battle with Kenny Omega as the new AEW World champion in front of his family and friends at All In.

The entrance alone cemented his status as the face of the franchise, and the match was nothing short of spectacular from both an in-ring and storytelling standpoint. Both men were exceptional, but Ospreay in particular proved why he's AEW's anointed one with how he persevered through the punishment and had an answer for everything Omega pulled out of his arsenal.

The moment had been a long time coming for Ospreay, who put pen to paper with the promotion almost three years ago but had never captured AEW World title until now. His victory was clean as it should have been and the interference from outside forces was thankfully kept to a minimum.

Ospreay leaving All In with the world title always appeared to be the endgame dating back to the beginning of the year, so how AEW decides to follow up will be crucial. This shouldn't be the peak of Ospreay's push but rather the beginning of what has the potential to be a thrilling run for him on top.
