Surprises At AEW All In London 2026

AEW

AEW’s biggest event of the year is set to take place tomorrow night, when All In London takes place at Wembley Stadium for the third time.

After taking place in Texas last year, AEW will likely want to make sure tomorrow’s show is as big as possible upon the company’s return to Wembley Stadium.

As such, there are a number of big surprises we could see take place on the show.

Here are some potential surprises we could see at AEW All In London 2026.

The New Day Debut

While it would technically still be a surprise, many have expected that All In will be the event where Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods make their AEW debut.

After leaving WWE back in April, the former New Day members are now officially free agents and able to sign wherever they want, with the belief being that they will end up in AEW.

Swerve Strickland has teased potentially going after the AEW Trios Championship on the show with two partners, and with a Wild Card entrant confirmed for the AEW Trios Championship Royale Roulette, that spot will almost certainly go to Swerve and his partners.

Those partners will likely be Kofi and Austin Creed.

Ilja Dragunov Appears In Casino Gauntlet

The New Day aren’t the only former WWE stars that we will likely see at All In, as it was recently revealed that Ilja Dragunov had departed WWE.

Ilja’s contract with WWE had expired after he rejected the company’s offer for an extension after a very bad 2026 for his booking.

With Ilja not bound by a non-compete clause due to his contract expiring rather than him being released, he could realistically show up anywhere at any time.

That where will likely be Wembley Stadium, and the time tomorrow night.

Sting Appears During Darby Allin vs. Kevin Knight

The last two times AEW held All In at Wembley Stadium, the Icon Sting would make an appearance.

In 2023, he teamed with Darby Allin against Christian Cage and Swerve Strickland, while in 2024 he made the save for Darby during his match with Jack Perry.

Darby is set to face Kevin Knight in a Falls Count Anywhere match tomorrow night, which will likely see the fight spill all around Wembley Stadium, as well as a lot of interference from members of the Don Callis Family.

Who better to even the odds than the Stinger?

Jon Moxley Wins Casino Gauntlet

AEW is once again set to host a Casino Gauntlet match for the men at this year’s All In pay-per-view, with the winner getting a future shot at the AEW World Championship.

For a long portion of the build to the event, Jon Moxley played a key role in the rivalry between Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay, which we could see be picked up after the show.

Moxley himself is set to face off against Nigel McGuinness in the finals of the Continental Challenge Cup on the show, which could make for a good way to subvert expectations for the Gauntlet.

Despite being the obvious first challenger, Moxley appearing and winning the Gauntlet would now be a surprise for the fans in London.

Kota Ibushi Corners Kenny Omega For Main Event

At tonight’s RevPro event ahead of All In, Will Ospreay made a surprise appearance, with him teaming with his Callum Newman and his CPF stablemates in the opening match.

After the match, Ospreay offered Newman the chance to be in his corner at All In when he challenges Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship tomorrow night.

If Ospreay is going to call upon the help of Newman to be in his corner, it only makes sense for Omega himself to have someone in his corner.

An unannounced Kota Ibushi appearance to be in Omega’s corner for the All In main event would be a great moment.

Callum Newman Costs Will Ospreay Against Kenny Omega

When Will Ospreay invited Callum Newman to be in his corner, the entire wrestling world was immediately less certain of Ospreay’s Wembley victory.

Newman has taken control of the United Empire in New Japan Pro Wrestling in Ospreay’s absence, and while things may be good between them now, it seems inevitable that Newman will lower the boom on Ospreay sooner rather than later.

Coming out of this year’s Wrestle Kingdom and New Year’s Dash events, where Ospreay made an appearance, fans have speculated that one of next Wrestle Kingdom’s marquee matches could be Ospreay and Newman one on one.

What better place to kick off that angle than in the main event of AEW’s biggest show of the year.
