After the very well received All In London 2026 pay-per-view this past Sunday, AEW will now be turning their attention towards All Out on September 26.

The show will have high expectations given All In London’s quality, but that doesn’t mean AEW should save all their big surprises until the Chicago event.

Here are three title changes we could see before AEW All Out 2026.

Andrade El Idolo Drops AEW National Championship To Nick Wayne

Nick Wayne was one of the key figures in the Casino Gauntlet match at AEW All In London, with the former ROH World Television Champion entering at number three and being the one to ultimately take the pinfall from eventual winner Andrade El Idolo.

Wayne also formed a short-lived alliance with MJF, and while the former AEW World Champion proved he can’t be trusted, perhaps this union could be revisited in the near future.

MJF is likely not done with Andrade and will want to screw him over at every possible opportunity – especially given that he has a guaranteed AEW World Title shot in tow.

Given he has the contract for a shot at Will Ospreay, Andrade really doesn’t need that National Title and him dropping it to Nick Wayne – thanks to MJF interference – would be a great way to elevate a young star and further a main event level storyline.

Cope & Cage Lose AEW World Tag Team Titles To The Young Bucks

One of only two titles that didn’t change hands at AEW All In London was Adam Copeland and Christian Cage’s AEW World Tag Team Titles.

With thanks to a wrench, Christian Cage ensured the champs retained in their dream match against the Young Bucks, but the chicanery of the finish means Matt and Nick Jackson will feel justified in demanding a rematch.

As seen by the post match scene afterwards however, the Young Bucks have no shortage of competition for the next title shot, as FTR, Motor City Machine Guns and The New Level all also had their eyes on Cope & Cage.

A big multi-tag affair could be in the works for AEW All Out, but en route to that event the Young Bucks could very well get their win back on ‘The Rated R Superstar’ and ‘Captain Charisma.’

Darby Allin Loses AEW TNT Championship Back To Kevin Knight

At AEW All In London, Darby Allin captured another piece of silverware when he defeated Kevin Knight for the TNT Championship.

Becoming the fourth three-time TNT Champion after Wardlow, Sammy Guevara and Cody Rhodes, Darby will be hoping that he keeps the title longer than his AEW World Championship run, which ended after just 39 days.

While Allin didn’t last long at the top of AEW, his run packed an incredible eight title defenses in that time; which is a massive contributing factor in why it only lasted just over a month.

It’s difficult to imagine Darby having much of a different approach with this TNT Championship reign, despite evidence suggesting he should take it easier. While it could be anyone who takes advantage, Kevin Knight may be the most motivated to reclaim his title after his loss in London.
