Will Ospreay retained the AEW World Championship with a victory over Jon Moxley at AEW All Out 2026, according to the sports news article. The match opened with both competitors trading strikes and grappling holds, each seeking an early advantage. Moxley sent Ospreay to the floor after a DDT on the ropes, then bounced the champion off the steel steps and opened a cut on his forehead. He followed with a piledriver and attempted a second, but Ospreay avoided it. The bout continued with a series of counters; Moxley searched for a Fujiwara armbar while Ospreay worked his way out of a triangle hold and attempted a Styles Clash. Moxley responded with a rear‑naked choke, then hit a sleeper suplex and a Gotch‑style piledriver before trying to stomp on Ospreay’s neck. Ospreay eventually regained momentum, delivering a powerbomb that transitioned into a Styles Clash. He looked for his signature Hidden Blade, but Marina Shafir grabbed his boot, prompting interference from Mike Bailey and Francesco Akira of United Empire, who prevented the Death Riders from interfering. After a referee bump, the factions began to brawl at ringside. Pac appeared with the briefcase Moxley had used when he previously held the title, but Andrade El Idolo removed him from the scene. Moxley hit a Paradigm Shift, and Ospreay countered with a Hidden Blade while the referee remained down. Shafir struck Ospreay with the briefcase, but she was taken out by Alex Windsor and Jamie Hayter, who then performed the United Empire taunt and cleared Wheeler Yuta and the remaining Death Riders. Ospreay absorbed a stomp on the briefcase, two additional Paradigm Shifts and a Death Roller, yet he stayed upright. In the closing moments, Ospreay connected with the Hidden Blade for the pinfall, securing his first defense of the AEW World Championship. The article notes that the contest featured numerous near‑falls and interference from both sides, contributing to a hard‑fought encounter that ended with Ospreay retaining his title.
