The AEW WrestleDream 2026 event, held at the Addition Financial Arena in Orlando, Florida, served as a sold-out tribute to wrestling legend Antonio Inoki. A central attraction was the inaugural ‘Clockwork Carnage’ match for the AEW World Championship. In this unique two-stage contest, Will Ospreay defended his title against seven challengers: Samoa Joe, ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey, Adam Copeland, Konosuke Takeshita, Kazuchika Okada, Ricochet, and Darby Allin. Following an elimination phase, the match transitioned into a 15-minute scoring period. Ospreay secured the victory with three points, narrowly defeating Copeland, Joe, and Allin, who each finished with two points. Other major championship results included Mercedes Moné defending the AEW Women’s World Championship against Thekla, and The Young Bucks retaining the AEW World Tag Team Championship against Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight.
