What happened
In the lead-up to the AEW All In event, which is set to take place in London on August 30, 2026, Will Ospreay opened the Wednesday edition of AEW's "Dynamite" with an emotional promo regarding his upcoming world championship match against Kenny Omega. Ospreay called out Omega, seeking a confrontation, but instead, Don Callis responded, reminding Ospreay of the damage his group had inflicted on Omega. This led to an attack on Ospreay by members of the Don Callis Family, prompting Omega to intervene and fend off the attackers. Afterward, Omega addressed Ospreay, expressing concern over his emotional approach and warning him about the influence of Don Callis, stating that it has made Ospreay 'sloppy.' Omega extended a hand to help Ospreay, but Ospreay declined, asserting that he did not ask for help. The tension between the two wrestlers highlights the stakes of their upcoming title match, where Omega will defend the AEW World Championship, which he won from MJF in July. The event is anticipated to be a significant moment in AEW's calendar, showcasing not only the championship clash but also other high-profile matches, including Willow Nightingale defending the AEW Women’s World Championship against Mercedes Moné and a triple-threat match for the AEW International Championship featuring Kyle Fletcher, Konosuke Takeshita, and Kazuchika Okada.
