As this month draws to a close, AEW is set to make its return to London for its signature annual pay-per-view event, All In. Key figures from Tony Khan’s organization, namely Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks, are slated for title matches at this much-anticipated Wembley Stadium event. Kenny Omega, known as The Cleaner, is defending his All Elite Wrestling Men’s World Championship against Will Ospreay, the winner of the Owen Hart Cup. Meanwhile, Matt and Nick Jackson will challenge Adam Copeland and Christian Cage for the World Tag Team Title.
The final PPV leading up to All In 2026, Redemption last month, brought significant developments for The Elite. After being saved by Ospreay from a brutal Death Riders assault following his title defense in the main event, Omega unexpectedly turned against the Aerial Assassin, delivering a One-Winged Angel. The Bucks were visibly uncertain about Omega’s actions, particularly since Will had stopped Jon Moxley from attacking Nick Jackson during their tag match against Mox and the “Billy Goat”.
The Jackson Brothers chose not to discuss Omega’s attack on Will during AEW Dynamite after Redemption, appearing only in a sit-down interview with Cage and Cope. Conversely, Omega defended his actions against Ospreay during their subsequent encounter on the show, showing little regret in his reasoning. The Best Bout Machine even engaged physically with The Commonwealth Kingpin, retreating from the ring after Ospreay landed just one hit.
Although Omega and The Bucks have not officially turned heel, recent AEW broadcasts suggest they might be considering it. Below are three subtle indications that The Elite may be poised for a turn at All In: London.
Kenny Omega’s betrayal of Will Ospreay
In the first half of 2026, Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay were seen pushing each other toward the shared ambition of becoming the World Champion of All Elite Wrestling. However, Omega was uneasy about Ospreay’s collaboration with the Death Riders, advising him to stay cautious of the group’s aggressive nature after Double or Nothing 2026.
Despite Omega’s concerns, Ospreay’s alliance with Jon Moxley and his crew proved beneficial, as he advanced from a 2026 Owen Hart Cup quarterfinal victory over Samoa Joe to triumphs against Mark Davis in the semis and Swerve Strickland in the final at Forbidden Door 2026. After winning the Owen and being inducted into the Death Riders by Mox, Ospreay received congratulations from Omega. Ospreay, however, reassured Kenny not to worry about his new training partners, saying:
“But just because you’ve given up on yourself, doesn’t mean I’ve given up on myself.”
During Redemption 2026, Omega, as the reigning AEW Men’s World Champion, defended his title against Kevin Knight in the main event, only to be attacked by the Death Riders afterward. Ospreay intervened to help Omega and even turned away Moxley and his team by refusing to suffocate him. In a shocking twist, Omega responded by hitting Ospreay with a One-Winged Angel, closing the pay-per-view with a dramatic twist.
On AEW Dynamite days later, Omega confronted Ospreay to explain his actions at Redemption. He expressed frustration over Will’s trust in the Death Riders over him and accused Ospreay of being complicit in Mox’s plan to choke him out before All In: London. Omega admitted feeling deeply hurt by Ospreay’s comment about him supposedly giving up on himself.
Having reclaimed the AEW World Title recently, Omega is more determined than ever to retain the title at Wembley Stadium. Many fans vocalize their desire for this to be more than just a transitional reign for Kenny. A loss at Wembley would significantly impact the “Billy Goat” and his storyline with The Death Riders, particularly regarding character development.
AEW might choose to have Omega retain his Men’s World Title against Ospreay at All In 2026, employing heel tactics reminiscent of his 2020 victory over Moxley for the belt—a narrative element frequently referenced by the company.
The Young Bucks are keen to dethrone Cage and Cope to cement their AEW tag team legacy
The Young Bucks have maintained a friendly rapport with Adam Copeland and Christian Cage. The two teams collaborated with Orange Cassidy earlier in May to defeat FTR, The Dogs, and Tommaso Ciampa. When they met backstage, the Rated-R Superstar was polite to Matt and Nick Jackson, while The Patriarch displayed his typical passive-aggressive demeanor towards the former EVPs.
At Redemption 2026, The Bucks achieved a significant tag team victory over Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley, the Death Riders leader. Meanwhile, Cage and Cope defended their AEW World Tag Team Championship against Mox’s allies, Claudio Castagnoli and PAC. Following their victory, the Jackson Brothers approached them, revealing that the two teams would face off in a championship match at All In: London.
In a recent sit-down interview on AEW Dynamite, The Bucks expressed their determination to dethrone Cage and Cope to solidify their legacy as AEW’s most successful tag team. The Ultimate Opportunist and The Instant Classic, in turn, voiced their aim to showcase their worth as a legendary tag team and silence critics.
The matchup between Cage and Cope vs. The Young Bucks at AEW All In could be a babyface vs. babyface generational clash. However, it might be more compelling if Edge and Christian had to overcome villainous opponents willing to do anything to win, especially if the former TNT Champions are set to lose their tag titles at Wembley.
The Bucks have excelled as heels in All Elite Wrestling, making it plausible for them to turn against Cage and Cope, either leading up to All In: London or during the PPV match itself. This could allow them to dethrone the iconic duo through any means necessary, achieving their goal of becoming four-time AEW Tag Team Champions.
Kofi and Austin Creed (fka The New Day) might debut at AEW All In to confront the villainous Elite
This past May, the wrestling community was taken aback when Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston decided to part ways with WWE, having declined TKO’s restructured contract offers. Following the news, reports emerged that individuals within All Elite Wrestling were advocating for the company to recruit the former multi-time WWE Tag Team Champions.
Last month, Woods discussed his WWE departure with Kenny Omega in a Giant Bomb article, where they reviewed video games together. This interaction fueled speculation about The New Day’s possible imminent arrival in AEW, further stoked by an animated video, Daybreak, seemingly related to their exit from the Triple H-led company.
Approximately eight years ago, at E3 2018, The New Day and The Elite faced off in a Street Fighter V game, sparking fans’ interest in a wrestling showdown between the two teams. This long-awaited clash could soon become a reality, with Woods and Kingston potentially confronting Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks in an AEW ring at All In: London.
If the former WWE Superstars are indeed headed to All Elite Wrestling, the company could plan their debut at Wembley. In this case, The New Day members would likely enter as fan favorites. Their arrival as babyfaces could be even more captivating if Austin Creed and Kofi confront The Elite at All In: London, with Omega and The Bucks acting as heel adversaries.
Should The God of Pro-Wrestling and his longtime partners turn heel to secure their title wins, their triumph could be interrupted by Kofi and Creed stepping up to challenge them.
