This is the first year that AEW Redemption is taking place. This is a part of the expansion plan that Tony Khan has envisioned for AEW. This will be a show that will build towards All In. This show will take place on 26th July 2026.
Let’s look at the Match Card for AEW Redemption 2026
1. Thekla vs Willow Nightingale for AEW Women’s Championship
This will be one of the biggest matches at this show. Thekla has been a dominant women’s champion, and she has defended the title against all opponents. Willow Nightingale is one of the original female stars of AEW. She is one of the most beloved wrestlers in the world. This will be a very good match, as both women are strong, and they will dominate each other. Thekla will want to win this match and then face Mercedes Mone at All In.
2. Kenny Omega vs Kevin Knight for AEW World Championship
This match will be the main event of the show. Kenny Omega won the AEW World Championship against MJF in an incredible match that was one of the best of the year. Kenny Omega will defend his newly won world title against one of the brightest young stars in the company. This is the biggest match in the career of Kevin Knight. Kenny Omega will have the best match in the young career of Kevin Knight. This match will then lead to Kenny Omega vs. Will Ospreay at All In.
3. Hikaru Shida vs Maya World for AEW TBS Championship
The second women’s title match taking place at this show will be the match for the AEW TBS Championship. It was looking like AEW had forgotten about this title, so it is good to see it return to action. Hikaru Shida will defend her title against one of the breakout stars of the women’s division. Maya World had the best women’s match of the year against Mercedes Mone in the Owen Hart Cup Final. She will look to win her first singles title in AEW. This will be a very good match.
4. Mark Davis vs Andrade El Idolo for AEW National Championship
The AEW National Championship is the newest title that has been introduced in the company. Mark Davis is the champion, and he will defend the title against one of his former mates from the Don Callis Family. Andrade El Idolo has turned babyface, and he will look to win the title and have a long run with the title. This match could steal the show. AEW Redemption was made for superstars like these.
5. Kyle Fletcher vs Bandido for AEW International Championship
The AEW International Championship is one of the midcard titles that are there for the wrestlers to win. It has been present for a number of years. Kyle Fletcher is the champion, and he is one of the top 5 wrestlers in the world. He is a member of the Don Callis Family. Bandido is one of the most dependable wrestlers, and therefore this match will be a classic.
6. Adam Copeland and Christian Cage vs The Death Riders for AEW Tag Team Championship
The tag team titles will be on the line when Adam Copeland and Christian Cage will defend the titles against a team that was dominant in AEW till last year. The Death Riders are making a comeback, and they will be represented by Claudio Castagnoli and PAC. This match will be one of the hardest defenses for Adam Copeland and Christian Cage because other members of The Death Riders will try to help their teammates. This should be a barn burner.
