How to Watch AEW WrestleDream 2026: Date, Start Time, Match Card & Live Stream

Orlando, Florida, is closing in on hosting the fourth annual AEW WrestleDream pay-per-view, and history will be made that Saturday night as Will Ospreay defends his AEW Men's World Championship in the very first Clockwork Carnage Match.

A brain child of the Aerial Assassin himself, Clockwork Carnage will feature eight different men vying for the top prize in the company.

The match will take place in two stages. Two wrestlers will start, with a new competitor entering the fray every three minutes. If a wrestler is pinned or they submit during this stage, then they are eliminated from the match.

Once all eight competitors have been introduced, Clockwork Carnage will move into a 15-minute scoring period. Whoever has the most pinfall or submission victories by the time the clock strikes zero will be crowned the AEW Men's World Champion.

Will Ospreay and Samoa Joe both punched their tickets to Orlando at AEW Grand Slam France, with more qualifying matches set to take place in the coming days.

The AEW Women's World Championship will also be on the line at WrestleDream as Mercedes Moné takes on the former champion Thekla, who earned this opportunity by defeating Willow Nightingale in a No. 1 Contender's Match last month at All Out.

There are four other title matches on the card as well, as Jon Moxley, The Young Bucks, The Brawling Birds and Swerve Strickland & The New Level will all defend their respective championships in the Theme Park Capital of the World.
