Top 5 Matches That Would Make AEW All In 2026 Unforgettable
AEW All In requires a card that delivers on spectacle, high stakes, and dream matches. I have an exclusive, high-concept pitch for the 2026 Wembley Stadium event, and if this lineup comes to fruition, it would be one of the most memorable nights in professional wrestling history.
From a "last chance" title bout to a brutal grudge match, here are the Top 5 matches needed for AEW All In, plus my new YouTube video is below for much more.
Top 5 Matches Needed for AEW All In 2026
AEW TNT Championship: Kevin Knight (c) vs. Swerve Strickland
This is a classic clash of generations and fighting styles. Imagine the scene at Wembley: The "Prince of the Sky," Kevin Knight, is the reigning, athletic TNT Champion. He stands across the ring from the man who carried AEW through a pivotal era, "The Real" Swerve Strickland.
For this match, we fantasy-book Strickland as the undisputed babyface of the company, chasing the title to prove he is still the top dog. This would be a fast-paced, high-impact classic, ending with a deafening pop as Swerve hits the JML Driver to capture the gold.
AEW TBS Championship: Maya World (c) vs. Deonna Purrazzo
The stakes are personal and professional. This match is built around the narrative that it is Deonna Purrazzo's absolute last chance to win the TBS Championship before her AEW contract expires. A desperate and vicious "Virtuosa" targets the rising star and current champion, Maya World.
This would be a technical masterclass, with Purrazzo throwing everything she has at World, even resorting to bending the rules. Will Maya World solidify her main-event status by ending Purrazzo's AEW career, or will Deonna pull off the miracle one last time?
"The Destroyer" vs. "The Alpha": Konosuke Takeshita vs. Samoa Joe
This is a pure, unadulterated hoss fight. You have the legendary "Samoan Submission Machine," Samoa Joe, looking to re-establish dominance. He needs a "worthy opponent," and he finds it in the absolute beast of The Don Callis Family, Konosuke Takeshita.
These two men don't just wrestle; they go to war. Expect stiff strikes, brutal power moves, and a level of intensity that will have the entire Wembley crowd on their feet in respect.
Last Man Standing Match: Jack Perry vs. Nick Wayne
This rivalry has been simmering for years, and it needs to end at Wembley. "The Scapegoat" Jack Perry has been a thorn in the side of the young prodigy, Nick Wayne. The bad blood has boiled over, and there is only one way to settle it: The Last Man Standing Match.
This stipulation allows for the kind of plunder, high spots, and brutality required to cap off a blood feud. This isn't about titles; this is about ending a rivalry once and for all on the biggest stage possible.
International Dream Match: Mistico vs. Johnny TV
It’s "The King of Kings" vs. "The Ace." AEW All In is the perfect platform for massive, never-before-seen crossover bouts. We need the legendary Mexican icon, Mistico, making a special appearance to face the athletic and charismatic Johnny TV (who would be making his highly anticipated AEW debut).
This match guarantees a spectacle, featuring incredible lucha libre acrobatics and the kind of high-flying charisma that translates perfectly to a stadium crowd.
