The championship landscape in All Elite Wrestling has undergone a massive transformation.
AEW All In: London on August 30, 2026, completely reshaped the company’s hierarchy. Will Ospreay finally reached the top of AEW by defeating Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship, while Mercedes Moné captured the AEW Women’s World Championship from Willow Nightingale.
Those were only two of seven championship changes at Wembley Stadium.
Kazuchika Okada regained the International Championship, Darby Allin became TNT Champion for the third time, Persephone won the TBS Championship, the Brawling Birds captured the Women’s World Tag Team Championship, and Swerve Strickland teamed with AEW newcomers Austin Creed and Kofi to win the World Trios Championship.
Meanwhile, Jon Moxley, Cage & Cope and Andrade El Ídolo survived the turbulent summer with their championships intact.
For new AEW fans—or longtime viewers trying to keep track of one of the promotion’s most chaotic championship periods—here is the updated breakdown of AEW’s 10 major championships.
Current Champion: Will Ospreay Won Championship: August 30, 2026 Defeated: Kenny Omega Previous Champion: Kenny Omega
The AEW World Championship remains the ultimate prize in All Elite Wrestling, and it now belongs to Will Ospreay.
Ospreay defeated Kenny Omega in the main event of All In: London at Wembley Stadium, finally capturing his first AEW World Championship. After an exhausting and violent battle between two of the generation’s most accomplished wrestlers, Ospreay connected with the Hidden Blade to defeat Omega.
Omega’s second reign lasted 53 days after he defeated MJF at Dynamite: Beach Break on July 8.
For Ospreay, the victory represents the culmination of his climb through AEW. He had already established himself as one of the promotion’s premier wrestlers, but winning the company’s top championship in his home country elevated him to the unquestioned top of the roster.
Ospreay will not lack challengers.
Andrade El Ídolo won the Men’s Casino Gauntlet at All In, earning a future AEW World Championship opportunity. That immediately gives the new champion a dangerous challenger waiting in the wings.
Current Champion: Jon Moxley Won Championship: December 27, 2025 Defeated: Kazuchika Okada Previous Champion: Kazuchika Okada
While most of AEW’s championship landscape has changed, Jon Moxley continues to provide stability.
Moxley captured the Continental Championship by defeating Kazuchika Okada in the final of the 2025 Continental Classic at Worlds End. As of September 2, his reign has lasted more than eight months.
His latest major test came at All In: London, where he defeated Nigel McGuinness in the final of the Continental Challenge Cup while retaining the championship.
Moxley’s reign has reinforced the Continental Championship’s reputation as AEW’s pure competition title—one built around endurance, tournament wrestling and the ability to survive elite opponents.
While Ospreay now stands at the top of AEW, Moxley remains one of the most established and difficult champions to defeat.
Current Champions: Cage & Cope — Christian Cage and Adam Copeland Won Championship: May 24, 2026 Defeated: FTR Previous Champions: FTR
Christian Cage and Adam Copeland remain AEW World Tag Team Champions after surviving one of their biggest tests.
The longtime friends defeated FTR in a New York Street Fight “I Quit” Match at Double or Nothing to capture the championships.
At All In: London, Cage & Cope successfully defended the titles against the Young Bucks, defeating Matt and Nick Jackson in one of the biggest generational tag-team matches AEW could present.
Their problems are far from over.
Following the match, several elite teams made their presence felt, including FTR, the Motor City Machine Guns and The New Level.
AEW has always emphasized tag-team wrestling, and Cage & Cope now sit at the center of perhaps the deepest championship chase in the company.
Current Champion: Kazuchika Okada Won Championship: August 30, 2026 Defeated: Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita Previous Champion: Kyle Fletcher
“The Rainmaker” is once again an International Champion.
Kazuchika Okada defeated Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita in a three-way match at All In: London to capture the International Championship.
The finish came when Okada hit Fletcher with the Rainmaker and pinned the defending champion, keeping the title within the Don Callis Family while adding even more tension to an already unstable group.
Fletcher had held the championship since defeating Takeshita at Beach Break on July 8.
Okada’s victory immediately increases the prestige surrounding the International Championship. Few wrestlers in the world possess his résumé, and the championship’s identity as AEW’s internationally focused singles title makes him a natural fit.
The bigger question may be whether Fletcher and Takeshita accept Okada standing above them.
Current Champion: Darby Allin Won Championship: August 30, 2026 Defeated: Kevin Knight Previous Champion: Kevin Knight
Darby Allin is TNT Champion for the third time.
Allin defeated “The Jet” Kevin Knight in a Falls Count Anywhere Match at All In: London, ending Knight’s impressive 140-day reign.
The match featured the chaotic and dangerous environment associated with Allin’s career, with Sting and Steven Borden becoming involved before Darby ultimately captured the championship.
Knight’s reign had transformed him from a promising young wrestler into a legitimate main-event threat. His loss does not erase that progress.
For Allin, however, regaining the TNT Championship brings him back to the title that originally helped establish him as one of AEW’s biggest homegrown stars.
His willingness to wrestle virtually anyone and take extreme risks makes him perfectly suited for the championship’s original workhorse identity.
Current Champions: Swerve Strickland and The New Level — Austin Creed and Kofi Won Championship: August 30, 2026 Previous Champions: “Hangman” Adam Page, Bandido and Brody King
Few championships changed as dramatically as the AEW World Trios Championship.
The title changed hands three times between July 29 and August 30.
The Demand defeated The Conglomeration on July 29. “Hangman” Adam Page, Bandido and Brody King then defeated The Demand at Grand Slam: Mexico on August 5.
At All In, the championship changed hands again.
Swerve Strickland entered the Trios Roulette Royale with surprise AEW newcomers Austin Creed and Kofi—collectively known as The New Level—and the trio immediately won the championships.
The victory instantly made Creed and Kofi major players in AEW and placed Swerve back into a championship position.
Their first challenge is already here: Swerve and The New Level are scheduled to defend the World Trios Championship against The Rascalz on the September 2 edition of Dynamite.
Current Champion: Andrade El Ídolo Won Championship: July 26, 2026 Defeated: Mark Davis Previous Champion: Mark Davis
Andrade El Ídolo remains AEW National Champion—and he may soon have an opportunity to become a double champion.
Andrade defeated Mark Davis at Redemption on July 26 to capture the championship. Three days later, he successfully defended it against Jack Perry and Nick Wayne in a three-way match on Dynamite.
His momentum continued at Grand Slam: Mexico, where he secured the No. 1 entry position for the Men’s Casino Gauntlet.
Then came All In.
Andrade survived the Casino Gauntlet at Wembley Stadium, earning a future AEW World Championship opportunity.
That creates one of the most interesting situations in AEW. Andrade already holds one championship, but he now has a path toward Will Ospreay and the AEW World Championship.
The National Championship could therefore become a launching pad toward the biggest match of Andrade’s AEW career.
Current Champion: Mercedes Moné Won Championship: August 30, 2026 Defeated: Willow Nightingale Previous Champion: Willow Nightingale
Mercedes Moné finally possesses the championship that had eluded her in AEW.
Moné defeated Willow Nightingale at All In: London to capture the AEW Women’s World Championship.
The rivalry became even more personal when Moné injured Nightingale’s hand shortly before Wembley. During the championship match, Moné repeatedly targeted that injury before trapping Willow in the Statement Maker. Nightingale eventually passed out, forcing the referee to stop the match.
The victory ended Nightingale’s reign only 35 days after she defeated Thekla at Redemption.
For Moné, however, winning AEW’s top women’s championship represents another major addition to an already remarkable collection of accomplishments.
Her championship celebration is scheduled for the September 2 edition of Dynamite, where AEW could begin revealing who will become her first major challenger.
Former champion Thekla also returned at All In and made it clear that she remains interested in the championship picture.
The women’s division may now revolve around one question:
Who can stop “The CEO”?
Current Champion: Persephone Won Championship: August 30, 2026 Defeated: Maya World Previous Champion: Maya World
Persephone is the new TBS Champion.
She defeated Maya World during the All In: London Buy-In, ending World’s first championship reign after 35 days.
The result came with significant controversy.
A hooded figure interfered and pushed World from the ropes, allowing Persephone to capitalize and win the championship. The mystery woman then revealed herself as returning former AEW Women’s World Champion Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D.
Persephone now holds both the TBS Championship and the CMLL Women’s World Championship, giving her an increasingly important position across AEW’s international partnerships.
Her victory also appears to have created a new alliance with Baker, potentially giving the new champion one of the most influential women in AEW history in her corner.
Current Champions: The Brawling Birds — Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor Won Championship: August 30, 2026 Defeated: Divine Dominion Previous Champions: Divine Dominion — Megan Bayne and Lena Kross
The Brawling Birds delivered one of All In’s biggest home-country victories.
Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor defeated Megan Bayne and Lena Kross at Wembley Stadium to capture the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship.
Divine Dominion had held the championships for 168 days after defeating inaugural champions Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron at Revolution.
Their combination of size and power had made Bayne and Kross one of the division’s most intimidating teams.
Hayter and Windsor finally ended that dominance in London.
The victory places two established British wrestlers at the center of AEW’s expanding women’s tag-team division and gives the relatively young championship another recognizable team capable of helping establish its identity.
AEW’s championship landscape looks almost completely different following All In: London.
Will Ospreay has finally reached the top of AEW by defeating Kenny Omega. Mercedes Moné has captured the AEW Women’s World Championship. Kazuchika Okada has reclaimed international gold, while Darby Allin has returned to familiar territory as TNT Champion.
Swerve Strickland has formed one of AEW’s most unexpected championship combinations with Austin Creed and Kofi. Persephone has emerged as a double champion, and Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor have brought the Women’s World Tag Team Championship home from Wembley.
Through all the chaos, Jon Moxley remains Continental Champion, Christian Cage and Adam Copeland remain World Tag Team Champions, and Andrade El Ídolo remains National Champion.
AEW’s current champions as of September 2, 2026 are:
After seven championships changed hands at All In, AEW has effectively entered a new era.
Ospreay and Moné now stand at the top of their respective divisions, but several challengers are already positioning themselves for opportunities. Andrade has earned a World Championship match, Thekla has returned to the women’s title picture, and AEW’s tag and trios divisions are overflowing with contenders.
All In: London did not simply conclude AEW’s summer championship stories.
It started an entirely new collection of them.
