Check out the complete AEW Redemption preview under to learn how we obtained right here earlier than all of it goes down tonight in Montreal!

Kenny Omega made probably the most of a cope with The Devil at Dynamite Beach Break – and when he beat MJF to win the AEW World Championship for the second time, he completed a race he’d been operating for years. Now, Omega takes on a unique function. He is the hunted, however not like his first reign, he’ll stand alone, with out the help of Don Callis. 

The hatred between Callis and Omega is as robust as ever, particularly since Knight aligned himself with the Don Callis Family. Omega needs to break the maintain that Callis has over the younger star and provides Knight the possibility to show he can stand on his personal. Knight, nonetheless, has made clear he is not focused on being saved and that no goodness stays in his coronary heart, solely greatness. That greatness was on show when Knight beat Darby Allin this previous Wednesday on Dynamite with out the Callis Family, though he used the TNT Title to get the job finished. He used that very same belt later within the evening to bloody Omega. 

Knight wished to show he may win with out the assistance of the Callis Family, and he did. Now, Omega needs Knight by himself in Montréal – however when Callis is concerned, all bets are off. Can Knight turn into Jet2Belts as the primary AEW World and TNT Champion? Or will Omega deal with all the pieces Knight throws at him and march on to All In: London in opposition to Will Ospreay?

This is the story of Redemption in its purest type. Willow Nightingale returned from harm at Dynamite Beach Break as a shock entrant within the Casino Gauntlet. And she did not simply return; she received, incomes the AEW Women’s World Title shot in opposition to Thekla at Redemption. It was a pivot from her unique plan of successful the Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament to get to the AEW Women’s World Title match at All In: London. Now, to make that dream a actuality, she’ll have to beat Thekla tonight and stroll into Wembley Stadium as champion. 

Thekla lives for spoiling goals like this. It’s been a trademark of her complete AEW Women’s World Championship reign over the previous five-plus months. Yet these ladies have already come to blows. After a heated face-to-face in entrance of Mick Foley on Dynamite, Thekla whipped Willow along with her belt, just for Willow to come again and pounce Thekla filter of the ring. Last evening on Collision, it was Thekla and TBS Champion Hikaru Shida defeating Willow and Maya World to take the momentum into Redemption when Thekla pinned World after she was hit by a kendo stick. 

If Willow needs to battle for the AEW Women’s World Championship at All In: London, she’ll have to depart Montreal with the gold tonight, whereas The Toxic Spider needs to preserve weaving her net en route to London. Which one among these two warriors would possibly stand throughout the ring from Mercedes Moné at All In: London because the defending AEW Women’s World Champion?

Kyle Fletcher walked into Dynamite Beach Break as a challenger and walked out because the AEW International Champion, dethroning “The Alpha” Konosuke Takeshita, a match that got here to be after Fletcher and the Don Callis Family turned on Takeshita at Double or Nothing following Takeshita’s championship victory over Kazuchika Okada. And it’s honest to say Takeshita not directly arrange this Redemption title protection for Fletcher. Bandido made his AEW International Title intentions identified to Fletcher earlier than he turned away Komander two weeks in the past on Dynamite. After the match, Takeshita got here out for revenge on Fletcher however was rapidly double-teamed by Fletcher and Okada – that’s, till Bandido and Brody King arrived and took them each out to stand tall with Takeshita. 

Fletcher made the problem to Bandido for this first-time matchup, and this previous week on Dynamite, he made it clear that he didn’t need any of the Don Callis Family at ringside, to present he may beat Bandido on his personal. Can “The Most Wanted” turn into a double champion in Montreal? Or will Fletcher’s AEW International Championship reign notch a second profitable protection?

The Young Bucks issued the problem to Moxley and Ospreay for Redemption, and it was accepted with out hesitation. Four of probably the most achieved wrestlers in AEW historical past will share a hoop in Montreal, and there is not any scarcity of historical past between them. The Bucks know Moxley properly; they’ve teamed with him they usually’ve confronted him, so, in their very own phrases, they know not to belief him. And in fact, Ospreay is aware of all about going through the Young Bucks as a result of it was he and Swerve Strickland who beat them final yr at All In: Texas to take away their EVP standing. 

This match is just not about championships or job titles. With All In: London 35 days away, Ospreay awaits his AEW World Championship date with future in opposition to Kenny Omega or Kevin Knight, and there’s no denying how vital Moxley’s been as a guiding mild alongside the best way. The pressure is at all times excessive this time of yr, however there’s an additional layer within the sophisticated historical past between these 4 males. Who will win this star-studded and deeply sophisticated tag staff affair?

Cage and Cope are finished watching the Death Riders stick their noses of their enterprise. After a number of assaults by the Death Riders and The Dogs, the AEW World Tag Team Champions laid out the problem themselves, so tonight, PAC and Claudio Castagnoli get their shot on the AEW World Tag Team Titles.

 As Copeland and Cage discovered as soon as once more after a savage backstage assault on Dynamite, PAC and Castagnoli are two of probably the most harmful people in AEW. Can the champions retain of their house nation, or do the Death Riders add extra championship {hardware} to their assortment?

After dramatically slicing ties with the Don Callis Family at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door in Death’s Door, Andrade has been on a warpath to take all of the gold from the Family, particularly following months of damaged championship guarantees by Callis. A win over Jake Doyle two weeks in the past on Dynamite earned him his shot tonight in opposition to AEW National Champion Mark Davis. Davis choked Andrade out final week on Collision, however Andrade returned on Dynamite prepared to battle. 

Andrade needs revenge by way of a championship. Davis needs to show the Family’s dominance extends past the person who left. Who walks out with the AEW National Title? 

Last week on Collision, Shida’s post-match assault on Queen Aminata after their TBS Title match was stopped chilly by Maya World, who made certain to take Shida’s kendo stick for good measure (though it was a kendo stick shot that allowed Thekla to pin World final evening in a champions vs. challengers match on Collision). As a end result, World has an opportunity to add a golden chapter to her inspirational story in Montreal as she faces Shida for the TBS Title tonight. 

World has been on some of the exceptional runs in current AEW historical past: a last-minute Owen Cup entry, a victory over her mentor, ROH Women’s World Champion Athena, within the semifinals, and an unforgettable match with eventual winner Mercedes Moné at Forbidden Door. Shida has dismissed World and her accomplishments, however she’ll have to again that speak along with her title on the road tonight. 

Can Shida maintain off an opponent who has already confirmed she belongs at this stage and as soon as once more present why TBS stands for “The Best is Shida,” or is World prepared to be the brand new face of TBS?

Ever since Ciampa’s violent actions at Beach Break to beat Jericho and the post-match assault that noticed Ciampa produce an influence drill, one thing in Jericho has been woke up that hasn’t been seen in a very long time. Indeed, the Painmaker is again – however Ciampa hasn’t backed down, even elevating the stakes final week when he delivered a no-holds-barred problem to Jericho by way of a tense dialog with Paul Wight on commentary. 

Ciampa did not ask for this stipulation as a result of he was nervous about going through the Painmaker. He requested as a result of he is satisfied this atmosphere is his. Meanwhile, Jericho is embracing and welcoming the ache, and if how we’ve seen the Painmaker dish out punishment up to now is any indication, maybe Ciampa has bitten off greater than he can chew. 

This match received’t be fairly, however neither man needs it that method. The Painmaker vs. Psycho Killer in Montreal with no holds barred. Violence is just not non-obligatory.

A future AEW International Title shot hangs above the ring tonight, and 6 males will do no matter it takes to climb the ladder and declare it. Perry, Bailey, Komander and Beast Mortos had been randomly chosen for the primary 4 spots within the match. Just final evening, Nick Wayne punched his ticket with a qualifier win over long-time rival AR Fox, and El Clon earned the ultimate spot in his return to AEW by beating ROH World TV Champion “Blackheart” Lio Rush. 

The AEW International Championship is a title none of those males have held. In reality, solely Wayne, Bailey and Komander have fought for the title, with Komander taking “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher to the restrict two weeks in the past on Dynamite. Bailey, in the meantime, would possibly are available in with the most important benefit of anybody, as he’s combating in entrance of his hometown crowd in one of many greatest matches of his profession. With Fletcher additionally defending in opposition to ROH World Champion Bandido tonight, who can be ready for the AEW International Champion out of those six males?

Ever since Jay White returned to AEW to rejoin Bang Bang Gang, he’s had The Dogs in his crosshairs – particularly his former buddy, David Finlay. Finlay’s been in a position to assault White together with his shillelagh on a number of events, together with this previous week on Dynamite when White beat Connors and Finlay got here out for a hit-and-run earlier than Robinson and the remainder of Bang Bang Gang hit the scene. Soon after, an incensed Robinson issued the problem for a Double Chain Match, which eliminates any risk of escape, with each groups linked to their opponents by chains. 

Bang Bang Gang has taken issues up a notch since White’s return, and Robinson is made for this sort of match. And The Dogs could like to hit and run, however after they hit, they hit laborious. These two models will attempt to settle their points tethered to one another by inescapable metal. The victors would possibly simply be those to survive the longest.

For the second straight evening, the AEW World Trios Titles can be on the road! After The Conglomeration defeated ROH World Six-Man Champions Dalton Castle and The Outrunners on Collision final evening, The Lethal Twist and The Conglomeration attacked the 2 teams of champions. It’s the second time during the last month The Demand and The Lethal Twist have labored collectively to goal The Conglomeration. After Lethal, Johnson and Christian beat SkyFlight final evening, they’ll take that momentum into The Buy-In tonight and take a look at to be the primary staff to the undefeated trios squad of Cassidy, O’Reilly and Strong!
