Tonight's AEW Redemption pay-per-view comes to us live from the Bell Centre in Montreal, QC, Canada.

Redemption is the final pay-per-view on the road to All In: London next month. What goes down on tonight's show will go a long way in shaping AEW's biggest event of the year when they return to Wembley Stadium on August 30.

Tonight's main event will see Kenny Omega defend the AEW World Title against TNT Champion Kevin Knight. This is Omega's first title defense since winning the title from MJF at Beach Break earlier this month. While many expect this to be an excellent matchup, the odds that Omega won't leave Montreal with the championship are incredibly low. The main selling point to this match will be the reaction of The Don Callis Family to Knight's failure to bring the gold to the faction.

On the flip side of things, the AEW Women's World Championship is very much in jeopardy as Thekla defends against Willow Nightingale. The winner moves on to All In: London to face Mercedes Moné. This match could easily go either way, as both matchups are worthy of AEW's biggest event of the year.

The 2026 Men's Owen Hart Cup winner, Will Ospreay, will also be in action as he teams up with Jon Moxley to face the Young Bucks. Will the Aerial Assassin continue down this dark path on the road to All In? Or will the Young Bucks return the favor that Ospreay did for them last year and help him see the light ahead of the biggest match of his career? We'll find out soon enough.

AEW Redemption results:

With only one match set for the Buy In, it doesn't appear that there will be a lot of updates coming out of the first hour. AEW is running video packages for tonight's card while Renee Paquette and Mick Foley break everything down.

"Daddy Magic" Matt Menard comes to the ring to host the tribute to the Rogueaus. Most of this was spoken in French, so I can't really cover what was said. The tribute is eventually interrupted by Rocky Romero of the Don Callis Family. Menard helped the Rogueaus take Romero down.

The Young Bucks vs. Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley. Nick Jackson and Will Ospreay start the matchup with a high-octane pace. Matt and Moxley would quickly get involved, but the Young Bucks remained in control of the match early on. Nick and Will would accidentally knock their heads together, which slowed the pace in a big way.

The Conglomeration defeated The Lethal Twist to retain the AEW World Trios Championship. The Demand joined the broadcast booth for this matchup. Things were back-and-forth early on, with The Lethal Twist keeping things rather competitive with the champions. The Lethal Twist were in control for a bit until Kyle O'Reilly made the hot tag and began to clean house.

Later on, The Lethal Twist would try to cheat, utilizing the Trios Titles, but Roderick Strong broke up the pinfall on Orange Cassidy. The finish of the match saw Strong hit End of Heartache on Lethal before tossing Cassidy on top to score the pinfall victory for his team.

The pay-per-view kicks off with a huge six-way ladder match

Speedball Mike Bailey defeated Jungle Jack Perry, El Clon, The Beast Mortos, Nick Wayne, and Komander in a six-way Ladder match to become the #1 contender for the International Championship. The entrances for this ladder match took place during the Buy In. Early on, The Beast Mortos attempted to climb the ladder to get the contract but was stopped by Speedball and Komander, who tried to climb instead.

Based on the crowd's reaction alone, it's very clear that Montreal wants to see their hometown hero Speedball leave tonight with the contract. The match would eventually make its way to the stage where Speedball delivered a moonsault from the top of a giant ladder onto a majority of his opponents. Jack Perry would follow things up by hitting a moonsault of his own off the ladder as well.

Perry would get the ladder to the ring but would be stopped during his climb by The Beast Mortos. Once Mortos began the climb himself, he was stopped by Komander. Eventually, three ladders would get involved as all six men attempted to climb to retrieve the contract at the same time. That strategy didn't work well for anyone, so tables were brought out from under the ring instead to cause even more damage. Mortos, El Clon, and Wayne would all go through tables in quick fashion.

Wayne would put El Clon through another table with a Phoenix Splash off the ladder, but ended up eating a Canadian Destroyer off the ladder through another by Perry. The finish of the match saw Speedball take care of Mortos before climbing the ladder to retrieve the contract.

Can the Young Bucks take down the Death Rider version of Will Ospreay?

The Young Bucks defeated Will Ospreay and Jon Moxley (w/ Marina Shafir). Nick Jackson and Will Ospreay start the matchup with a high-octane pace. Matt and Moxley would quickly get involved, but the Young Bucks remained in control of the match early on. Nick and Will would accidentally knock their heads together, which slowed the pace in a big way.

It's uncertain if this was a planned spot or accidental, but Nick is selling the collision on the floor at ringside while Matt goes at it alone with Mox and Ospreay. Nick would eventually find his way back on the ring apron later on. Moxley would deliver a piledriver to Nick at ringside, which certainly now makes you believe that earlier spot was intentional. Later on, Nick would demand the hot tag and take it to both Ospreay and Moxley.

The match would eventually return to the high-paced tempo seen at the beginning, as fans witnessed multiple close pinfall attempts from both teams. They would continue to sell at points where Nick was out on his feet from what had taken place earlier in the match, as Ospreay showed concern for his well-being. Moxley and Ospreay would argue about going for the kill as Matt tried to shield his brother. Moxley would tag himself in and hit Nick with the Paradigm Shift, but Nick kicked out at two.

Mox would follow things up with a bulldog choke, and Matt would have seen enough superkicking Moxley, Shafir, and Ospreay. This led to Moxley hitting Nick with three Paradigm Shifts before going out and grabbing a steel chair. Referee Rick Knox would try to stop him, but Mox shoved him off. Ospreay would take the chair from Moxley and eat a superkick from Matt for his troubles. The Bucks deliver a BTE Trigger and multiple superkicks on Mox as Nick collapses on him to get the pinfall win.

The Protostar versus the Most Wanted

Kyle Fletcher defeated Bandido to retain the AEW International Championship. The match began relatively even, with the exception of Bandido getting a quick two-count on Fletcher, which rattled the champion early on. Fletcher would slow the match down, and the crowd didn't appreciate it, showering him with "f--k you, Fletcher" chants in response. Kyle would take things outside the ring and powerbomb Bandido on the ring apron, which made the crowd hate him even more.

After several minutes of a slow pace, Bandido would fire up and fight back, much to the delight of the crowd in Montreal. Bandido hits a Frog Splash, but Fletcher kicks out at two. The fight would eventually end up on the ring apron, and Fletcher would nail Bandido with a vicious sheer drop brainbuster on the apron. Fletcher would attempt to win the match by countout, but Bandido made it back in at the count of nine.

After taking more punishment from Fletcher, Bandido would pull out a beautiful Dragon 21Plex for a count of two. Bandido would go for another 21Plex, but Fletcher reversed it and once again attempted another sheer drop brainbuster on the apron. This time, Bandido would get out of it and would answer with a powerbomb to Fletcher on the floor. Bandido followed things up by ascending the turnbuckles and Frog Splashing down on Fletcher on the floor.

Bandido takes the match back in the ring and hits a Shooting Star Press on Fletcher, but the champion kicked out at two. The two men would slow things down by nailing each other with a bunch of nasty-looking headbutts. Bandido would nail Fletcher with a perfect 21Plex, but Fletcher kicked out at two once again, much to the crowd's chagrin.

Fletcher would respond with a sheer drop brainbuster, but Bandido kicks out at two as well. The finish saw Fletcher hit Bandido with a turnbuckle brainbuster to retain his title.

Break out the chains

Double Chain Match: The Dogs defeated Jay White and Juice Robinson. This match featured two referees, and they were still utterly useless when it came to getting the chains on all four men before the match got underway. The Dogs got an early advantage on White and Robinson before eventually getting chained up to officially start the match. Despite the early advantage, the Bang Bang Gang quickly took control of the match and punished Connors and Finlay with the chains at ringside.

The Bang Bang Gang's advantage didn't last long as the Dogs took control, utilizing the corner posts and the steel steps to shift things in their favor. Finlay and Connors would take things back into the ring and continue to pummel White and Robinson, and the crowd isn't happy. Eventually things would shift back in favor of the Bang Bang Gang, who make the first pinfall of the contest but only get a two.

Connors would utilize his chain to choke Robinson while Finlay used his chain and the ropes to keep White at a distance. White managed to use Finlay's leverage against him and tossed him out of the ring before saving Juice from Connors. There was a very scary moment when Finlay accidentally dropped White on his head with a Dominator, but it appears he's okay. Juice yanked Connors out of the ring by the chain to give them a man advantage on Finlay.

White and Robinson would whip Finlay with the chains until Wheeler Yuta and Daniel Garcia hit the ringside area to get involved. This brought out the rest of the Bang Bang Gang to event the odds. The finish saw Marina Shafir hand Finlay the shillelagh, and he nailed Robinson with it to score the pinfall victory for his team.

An ominous warning from Jon Moxley

Renee Paquette speaks to Will Ospreay backstage. Ospreay talks about Nick Jackson's history of head trauma and how he didn't wish to take advantage of that and injure someone. Jon Moxley comes in and rants about Ospreay being a nice guy and warns him that if he won't pull the trigger, he will.

Maya World defeated Hikaru Shida to win the TBS Championship. Shida took an early advantage in the match outside of the ring before taking the match back in the ring. The champion kept the pace of the match slow to prevent the challenger from getting into any type of rhythm. Shida focused on World's knee to keep her grounded as the crowd tried to will her back into the matchup.

Every big offensive move from Maya resulted in her clutching her knee, so the damage from Shida has been done. Shida puts World in a single-leg crab, but she manages to get to the ropes to break the hold. Hikaru and Maya would find themselves in a series of two-count rollups with neither woman managing to escape with the victory.

Shida would grab her kendo stick at ringside and attempt to bring it into the ring but the referee stopped her. World used this opportunity to dive on Shida to the outside and control the action for a brief time before Shida regained control back in the ring. The champion would nail a cutthroat Tombstone Piledriver, but Maya still managed to kick out at two.

Shida would lock Maya in the TBS Lock, and it looked like she was about to tap out, but Shida stopped her to deliver more punishment instead. The champion would hit her challenger with multiple knees followed by a Falcon Arrow, but Maya grabbed the rope at two. Shida argued with the referee, allowing Maya to nail Shida with a bridging fallaway slam to score the pinfall victory.

A challenge laid out for Dynamite

We hear from The Demand backstage, who challenge The Conglomeration for the AEW World Trios Championship this Wednesday on Dynamite.

Adam Copeland and Christian Cage defeated Claudio Castagnoli and PAC to retain the AEW World Tag Team Titles. Castagnoli and PAC attacked Copeland before Christian Cage could even make his entrance, putting things in favor of the Death Riders early on. PAC and Castagnoli would beat down Cage and keep him off the apron as they proceeded to double-team Cope. Everything was very one-sided until Cage made it onto the apron and got a hot tag to flip the tables on the Death Riders.

The numbers game would eventually catch up to Cage, allowing Castagnoli and PAC to regain control of the matchup. Castagnoli would take Copeland into the crowd and lay him out so they could focus on double-teaming Cage now. Copeland would return to ringside, and Castagnoli would try to target him again but got thrown into the crowd for his troubles. Cope returns to the apron and gets the tag from Cage and immediately fires up and takes down PAC and Claudio.

Later in the match, PAC would attempted to pin Copeland with his feet on the ropes, but the referee catches him. Claudio and PAC would hit Copeland with a double team Neutralizer, but Cage breaks up the count at two.

The finish saw Cage hit Castagnoli with a spear, and Copeland hit PAC with a launching pop-up spear assist from Cage to score the pinfall victory for his team.

A dream match is set for AEW All In: London

After the match, the Young Bucks come to the ring and it's announced that Matt and Nick Jackson will face Adam Copeland and Christian Cage for the titles next month at All In: London.

No Holds Barred: "Painmaker" Chris Jericho defeated Tommaso Ciampa. Jericho starts the match with a barbed wire baseball bat, and Ciampa starts with a steel chair. Neither gets any good shots in, but Jericho hits Ciampa with a Code Breaker before pulling out a bag and throwing a handful of sand in Ciampa's face to give himself the advantage.

Outside of the ring, Jericho goes for another weapon and gives Ciampa time to set up a table. Jericho returns with a fire extinguisher and shoots it in Ciampa's face before hitting him with it. Ciampa is able to regain advantage by driving Jericho off the apron and through the table he set up a few minutes ago.

Ciampa brings a trash can and a hockey stick into the ring to attack Jericho, which the crowd absolutely loves. Tommaso puts on a Bruins jersey and attacks the Montreal Canadiens stuffed mascot to make the crowd hate him again. Jericho saves the stuffed mascot and brings out hockey pucks with thumbtacks on them, tossing Ciampa onto them before carving his face up with sandpaper.

The Painmaker goes outside and pulls out a table covered in barbed wire, which gives Ciampa enough time to recover as he attacks Jericho with the trash can when he reenters the ring. After some brutal interactions in the ring, Jericho hits Ciampa with a Death Valley Driver off the apron onto the barbed wire table. Jericho would bring a mirror into the match and set it up on two chairs, but Ciampa hits Jericho with a low blow and puts him through the mirror with an air raid crash instead.

A power drill!?

Ciampa would get a power drill, but Jericho hits him in the face with mist and a Judas Effect, but Ciampa kicks out at two. Jericho brings out another mirror, this one covered in barbed wire, as he slams it on Ciampa's back multiple times.

The Painmaker hits Ciampa with a Judas Effect while wearing a thumbtack-covered elbow pad, but only gets a two-count. Jericho tries to use the power drill on Ciampa's head, but he taps out and makes a break for it.

That was... something?

We get a awkward backstage interview between Mick Foley and Divine Dominion that tease a future match between the champions and the Brawling Birds. This will likely be the match at All In: London next month.

Andrade El Idolo defeated Mark Davis to win the AEW National Championship. Andrade hits Dia de los Muertos on Davis immediately but only gets a two-count. The match slows down dramatically after this, and the two men take turns with the advantage. El Idolo gains control before doing his mandatory ringside selfie, giving Davis time to recover and get back into the match.

Davis would utilize his power game for a bit, but El Idolo climbed back in it, taking control of the match and hitting the Three Amigos on Davis to get a count of two. Andrade hits the knees in the corner for another two-count. Davis would attempt a piledriver on the ring apron, but Andrade reverses it, tossing him to the floor before connecting with a top rope moonsault to the outside.

The finish of the match saw Andrade hit another Dia de los Muertos on Davis, followed by the DM to score the pinfall victory.

Speedball Mike Bailey calls his shot

Lexy Nair interviews Speedball Mike Bailey backstage. Bailey said he's cashing in his International Title shot against Kyle Fletcher at Grand Slam Mexico on August 5.

Willow Nightingale defeated Thekla to win the AEW Women's World Championship. Mercedes Moné watches the match from a luxury box in the arena. The match spills to ringside early on; Nightingale had a decided advantage before crashing into the steel steps when Thekla dived out of the way. Willow's ear injury from Dynamite is busted open and causes her to bleed.

Thekla would target the ear for a while, but that's not really a body part that's going to win you the match. Nightingale fights back as the champion and challenger keep things close. Thekla and Nightingale both score some two counts as the match is very much a back-and-forth affair with neither woman being able to take control of the matchup.

Thekla would try to pin Nightingale utilizing the ropes but is caught by the referee. Nightingale goes for a top rope moonsault, but Thekla moves out of the way. Thekla tries to hit the spear but Nightingale reverses it into a gutwrench powerbomb. Nightingale goes for the cover but Skye Blue comes out and puts Thekla's foot on the ropes.

Willow goes outside and attacks Blue and gets back in the ring and gets hit by a spear. Nightingale kicks out at two. The finish saw Nightingale catch Thekla with a backslide to win the title.

After the match, The Conglomeration come to the ring and celebrate with Willow Nightingale and present her with a backpack to hold her title in.

Kenny Omega defends against Kevin Knight in the main event of AEW Redemption

Kenny Omega defeated Kevin Knight to retain the AEW World Championship. Before the bell even rings, Knight hits Omega from behind with the title and chokes him with his wrist tape. Once the match officially begins, Omega fires up and brings the offense to Knight. The Jet would regain the advantage and take it to Omega in and out of the ring. Once the match returned to the ring, Omega regained control.

Knight would use underhanded tactics like raking the eyes to take control of the match and ground Omega on the mat. Omega would regain firm control with a pair of Snap Dragon suplexes—one in the ring and one on the ring apron. Kenny followed that up with a third Snap Dragon suplex on top of the commentator's table, which didn't break.

Despite everything, Knight continues to fight back, and Omega seems quite happy about it. Omega would nail Knight with a piledriver, but Knight kicks out at two. Kenny nails The Jet with a V-Trigger, but he kicks out at two again. Knight would regain control on a top rope encounter, allowing him to hit the Coast to Coast on Omega for the two count.

Knight hits Omega with the TNT Championship, but Omega kicks out at two again. The Jet goes for the UFO Splash, but Omega gets his knees up. Omega hits Knight with the One Winged Angel to score the pinfall victory.

Ospreay has a choice to make... and so does Omega

After the match, the Death Riders attack Kenny Omega. The Young Bucks hit the ring but are overwhelmed by the numbers game. Moxley places the steel chair on Omega's head, bringing out Will Ospreay, who tries to stop it. Castagnoli tries to do it anyway, and Ospreay lays him out, grabs the steel chair, and swings it at the Death Riders.

Moxley enters the ring and tries to talk down Ospreay. Mox convinces Ospreay to hand him the chair and brings out the plastic bag, handing it to Ospreay, who thinks about it before tearing the bag and decking Moxley. All the Death Riders rush in and Ospreay outmaneuvers all of them. Ospreay takes off the Death Riders part of his gear and tosses it out of the ring.

Will Ospreay picks up the AEW World Championship and hands it to Omega. The two men shake hands and pose on the turnbuckles as AEW Redemption goes off the air -- or not! Omega grabs Ospreay and nails him with the One Winged Angel. The Young Bucks question Omega, but they all pose and leave as the pay-per-view finally goes off the air.
