AEW All In Pre-Show
London, England, at Wembley Stadium
Streamed live August 30, 2026, on social media
-Renee Paquette, Mick Foley, Jeff Jarrett, and Paul Wight hosted the pre-show from a desk elevated off the main floor.
-Ring announcer Arkady Aura delivered the introductions while the wrestlers in the opening match made their entrances. The Opps debuted new entrance music.
1. “The Opps” Hook, Katsuyori Shibata, Anthony Bowens, and Action Andretti vs. Lio Rush and “The Rascalz” Dezmond Xavier, Zachary Wentz, and Myron Reed. Excalibur, Taz, and Tony Schiavone were on commentary. Reed jumped over the top rope and pulled Andretti off the apron with a cutter on the floor. Ouch. Later, Rush springboarded into a Stunner on Bowens. Rush followed up with a top rope splash before pinning Bowens.
“The Opps” Hook, Katsuyori Shibata, Anthony Bowens, and Action Andretti defeated Lio Rush and “The Rascalz” Dezmond Xavier, Zachary Wentz, and Myron Reed in 9:10.
Powell’s POV: The guys in this match now know what it’s like for bands that open concert festivals. The floor opposite the hard camera is nearly full, but there are a lot of open seats throughout the stadium with fans still arriving. Hell, some fans probably haven’t even left their homes or hotels if they don’t care about the pre-show. The match was fine, but I vote for a Satnam Singh Memorial Battle Royal (he’s very much alive) to get everyone on the show.
-The Demand and The Dogs spoke backstage about the Trios Roulette Royale.
2. Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron vs. Julia Hart and Skye Blue. The heel duo isolated Cameron. Statlander took a hot tag and had Hart set up for her finisher when Blue ran in and superkicked her. Hart applied a submission hold that Cameron broke with a kick. Cameron tagged in. Blue put Cameron down with a neckbreaker. Hart tagged in and joined Blue in double superkicking Cameron before covering her for a near fall. Cameron came back with a crucifix bomb on Blue. Statlander hit a discus lariat on Hart, but Blue put her down with a knee strike. A short time later, Statlander hit Hart with Sunday Night Fever and then covered her for the three count…
Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron beat Julia Hart and Skye Blue in 9:55.
Powell’s POV: This was, well, fine, much like the opening match. It’s unclear whether Statlander and Cameron are going to be a regular team.
-A Grand Slam Paris video package aired for Tuesday, October 6 at Adidas Arena.
3. Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, QT Marshall, and Big Boom AJ (w/Big Justice) vs. Shane Taylor, Lee Moriarty, Shawn Dean, and Carlie Bravo (Trish Adora, Christyan XO). MVP was not with The Hurt Syndicate duo. Before the match, Big Justice gave Lashley and Benjamin an envelope filled with cash.
