Kenny Omega retains AEW World Championship at Redemption in Montreal
All Elite Wrestling’s inaugural Redemption pay‑per‑view took place on July 26, 2026 at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada. In the main event, Kenny Omega defeated Kevin Knight to retain the AEW World Championship. In the women’s division, Willow Nightingale overcame Thekla to capture the AEW Women’s World Championship. Kyle Fletcher held onto the AEW International Championship by beating Bandido, while Maya World defeated Hikaru Shida to win the AEW TBS Championship. Andrade El Idolo toppled Mark Davis to claim the AEW National Championship. Adam Copeland and Christian Cage retained the AEW World Tag Team Championship against Claudio Castagnoli and PAC. The pre‑show Buy‑In featured The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, Kyle O’Reilly) defending the AEW World Trios Championship against The Lethal Twist, with the champions emerging victorious.
These outcomes set the stage for upcoming events, including All In: London, where several of the winning teams and champions have already been slated for future title defenses.
