AEW is setting the stage for a massive showdown at All In, and the company finally pulled the trigger on it during this week’s Dynamite.

After Swerve Strickland successfully defended the AEW World Title, he was ambushed by The Young Bucks. Just when things looked grim, Will Ospreay stormed the ring to save his friend—but instead got dropped by a brutal double superkick.

According to Fightful Select, that post-match chaos wasn’t random. It confirmed AEW’s plan to book a marquee tag match at All In: The Young Bucks vs. Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay.

Sources inside AEW revealed this has been in the works for a while. “Discussions about a Young Bucks vs. Swerve Strickland match had been ongoing behind the scenes for some time,” one noted.

However, Ospreay’s involvement was kept quiet until after Double or Nothing. That’s when plans shifted to include him in the program—moving away from the previously teased direction involving Hangman Page.

As of now, there’s no word on whether any titles or stipulations will be added to the match—but AEW seems ready to go all-in on this tag team clash at Wembley.
