AEW All In 2026 is officially LIVE from Wembley Stadium, and the pre-show panel is already setting the stage for what looks like a wild night in London. Renee Paquette is holding down the fort, joined by legends Mick Foley, Paul Wight, and Jeff Jarrett. It’s a huge stage for the biggest event, but even the biggest stages can have their quirks.

Pre-Show Hiccups and London Flair

The broadcast kicked off, but it wasn’t perfectly smooth sailing for everyone on the panel. Paul Wight had some mic issues during his intro, which is just classic, right? You gotta love the live show unpredictability! Meanwhile, Double J, Jeff Jarrett, was absolutely embracing the London vibe, rocking a Union Jack jacket like he owned the place. The panel ran through the whole card, reminding us there are five pre-show matches coming at us over the next two hours before the main event even hits. That’s a lot of action packed into the early part of the day.

First Bell, Instant Mayhem

Right after the panel wrapped up the rundown, we jumped straight into the ring for the first match, and boy, did it get intense fast. We’ve got The Opps squaring off against Lio Rush and The Rascalz. Lio Rush, ever the showman, made his entrance with a massive umbrella, which is just fantastic. But then, it seemed like the technical gremlins weren’t done messing around, as Excalibur was having audio issues during the entrances. You could barely hear him or the other announcers, which is a bummer when you’re trying to catch every detail of the chaos.

As soon as that bell rang, it was an all-out brawl! All eight men just went at it. No waiting around, no feeling each other out. Rush and Action Andretti were the first official competitors, and AA wasted no time, hitting a sweet Spanish Fly for a quick two-count. Then things got seriously wild when Katsuyori Shibata tagged in. The dude tried to shake Lio’s hand, a sign of respect, maybe? Lio bit him instead! Can you believe it? Shibata, still trying to keep it fair, offered his hand *again*. Rush actually shook it this time, and what happens? Shibata kicks him square in the gut! That’s just stone-cold, and you gotta respect it. Dezmond Xavier tagged in next, followed by Anthony Bowens, and they had a solid exchange. Then Hook and Zachary Wentz jumped into the fray, keeping the action non-stop.

This is just the *start* of the pre-show! With five matches slated before the main card, and the kind of wild, unpredictable action we’ve already seen, you know Wembley is gonna be buzzing. We’re getting right into it, and this energy is exactly what All In is all about. Keep watching, because this is only going to get crazier!
