AEW prepares for All In: London at Wembley Stadium
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is preparing for its flagship event, All In: London, scheduled for August 30 at Wembley Stadium. The event is expected to be a major financial success, with President Tony Khan noting the gate is approaching $6 million.
The match card features several high-profile championship bouts. AEW World Champion Kenny Omega is set to defend his title against Will Ospreay. Other scheduled matches include Willow Nightingale vs. Mercedes Moné for the AEW Women’s World Championship, and Cage & Cope vs. The Young Bucks for the AEW Men’s World Tag Team Championships. Additionally, Jon Moxley will face Nigel McGuinness in the final of the Continental Challenge Cup.
A Trios Roulette Royale match has been announced for the Buy-In pre-show, featuring the AEW World Trios Champions, Hangman Page, Brody King, and Bandido against five other teams and a surprise sixth team. The event follows a recent Dynamite episode in Glasgow, where Jon Moxley defeated Claudio Castagnoli and Nigel McGuinness defeated Kyle O’Reilly to secure their places in the tournament final.
