Dave Meltzer Breaks Down Ticket Sales, Predicts Main Event For AEW All In 2026

As we all know, if AEW hits on a hot angle or books a must-see match, those ticket sales will likely be a lot higher than what Meltzer is predicting. That then leads to the big question of what match will main event the show? Now that he’s back in action, all signs point to Will Ospreay not only being in the main event, but also challenging for the AEW Men’s World Championship. As for who Ospreay could face, two names are currently leading the race.

MJF will defend the AEW Men’s World Championship against Kenny Omega at Dynasty on April 12, with the winner of that match looking to be the man who will main event Wembley Stadium. Picking between MJF and Omega is interesting for Meltzer because they both have pros and cons. Meltzer mentioned that a lot of the core AEW fanbase are leaning more towards Ospreay facing Omega, with the two men already having two matches under their belt in recent years, and a trilogy match taking place on AEW’s biggest stage makes a lot of sense. Plus, the matches at Wrestle Kingdom and Forbidden Door 2023 are considered to be two of the best matches of the 21st century by those fans.

On the other hand, Meltzer feels like AEW’s business is improving so much that it almost feels too early to take the title away from MJF at this point, and perhaps shifting the title away from MJF in the summer might create more excitement if that’s the direction AEW want to go in. Ospreay and MJF did face each other at Wembley Stadium in 2024, albeit with MJF’s AEW American/International Championship on the line, so the idea of running it back for the top prize in the company is one that could make more sense business wise.

Overall, Meltzer understands that AEW will go with whatever the company believes will shift more tickets and tell a better story. Omega has not wrestled a major singles match at Wembley while MJF has main evented the show before, and with Omega’s life-threatening battle with diverticulitis still not fully explored, all eyes will be on the main event of Dynasty to see what happens next.
