AEW All In 2026 took place at London’s Wembley Stadium on August 30, 2026, but the event faced criticism for its slow ticket sales, with only about 44,000 tickets distributed out of a 90,000-seat capacity. This marked a significant drop compared to AEW's previous Wembley debut, which sold 72,265 tickets, reflecting a downward trend in attendance. Despite this, the event featured high-profile matches such as Mercedes Mone defending the AEW Women’s World Title against Willow Nightingale, and the advertised main event of Kenny Omega versus Will Ospreay for the AEW World Heavyweight Title, set against the backdrop of wrestling's New Japan connections and Tony Khan’s booking decisions.

The event also featured surprise appearances including the anticipated AEW debuts of WWE veterans Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods, collectively known as the New Day. Britt Baker made her AEW return on the Buy In pre-show, aiding Persephone to capture the TBS Championship. The card was stacked with title matches and notable bout outcomes: Jon Moxley retained the AEW Continental Title against Nigel McGuinness, Kazuchika Okada kept the AEW International Title in a triple threat, and Andrade El Idolo won the Men’s Casino Gauntlet, becoming the number one contender for the AEW World Championship.

Mercedes Mone’s Women’s World Title defense was a highlight, receiving considerable fan engagement despite not headlining, continuing AEW’s streak of 51 pay-per-views without a female main event. Ospreay’s victory over Omega in the final match of the evening came after a contentious battle that extended beyond the venue’s curfew, drawing both cheers and boos. The match's storytelling and Ospreay’s hometown support added emotional depth, further cementing the unsettled dynamic between these two former New Japan stars now headlining AEW’s marquee event.

Television ratings for AEW Dynamite showed fluctuations leading into the event, with viewership numbers bouncing between roughly 587,000 and 792,000. Commentary around AEW’s ticket sales and attendance also highlighted comparisons to WWE’s practices, particularly surrounding “papered” seats, though AEW’s situation received less critical media attention. Overall, All In 2026 was filled with dramatic moments, surprise returns, and compelling title changes, even as the promotion faces challenges in maximizing spectator numbers and spotlighting its women's division in main event slots.
