By AEW’s biggest night of October is finally here. AEW WrestleDream 2026 goes down tonight, October 17, from the Addition Financial Arena in Orlando, FL, with the main show starting at 8 p.m. ET on HBO Max, pay-per-view, and MyAEW.

Clockwork Carnage: Eight Men, One World Title
Will Ospreay defends the AEW World Championship against seven challengers in the Clockwork Carnage match: Samoa Joe, “Speedball” Mike Bailey, Adam Copeland, Konosuke Takeshita, Kazuchika Okada, Ricochet, and Darby Allin. With this much star power crammed into one bout, surprises are basically guaranteed.
The championship picture doesn’t stop there. Mercedes Moné defends the AEW Women’s World Championship against Thekla, while The Young Bucks put the World Tag Team Titles on the line against Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight.
A Loaded Undercard
The World Trios Championships get a two-out-of-three falls stipulation, with Swerve Strickland, Kofi Kingston, and Austin Creed defending against “Hangman” Adam Page, Bandido, and Brody King. Elsewhere, Jon Moxley faces Mark Davis for the Continental Title, and Andrade El Ídolo defends the National Championship against Tommaso Ciampa.
The women’s divisions are equally loaded: The Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) defend the Women’s Tag Titles against Wrathlander (Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron), and Persephone puts the TBS Championship up against Dani Luna, Hyan, and Queen Aminata in a four-way.
With eight championships on the line, WrestleDream could easily be AEW’s best show of the year. Don’t miss it.
