AEW Grand Slam: Mexico Tonight in Mexico City

Mexico City Street Fight (No Outside Interference): Will Ospreay vs. Mark Davis

Will Ospreay has the match of his life coming up with AEW World Champion Kenny Omega at All In: London. But before he can make any attempt to realize a childhood dream, he needs to settle a personal grudge with his former friend and now bitter enemy, Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family. After losing the AEW National Championship to Andrade El Ídolo at AEW Redemption, Davis was angry and called out Ospreay last week on Dynamite, reminding everyone that the two are 1-1 recently – and insisting Ospreay's win came with a giant asterisk thanks to the Death Riders' interference in the Semifinals of the 2026 Owen Cup. Davis beat Ospreay via doctor stoppage back in April, which was the night the Death Riders saved Ospreay from further injury and offered him the chance to train with them. 

Davis attempted to strike a big blow against Ospreay on Collision after The Aerial Assassin beat Daniel Garcia in the main event by attacking from the crowd with RPG Vice, only for Ospreay to fight them off and make the Mexico City Street Fight challenge. Ospreay is going it alone on his journey to Wembley Stadium, and Davis promised to leave the Don Callis Family in the back and settle it one-on-one. With so much to fight for later this month, how will Ospreay navigate such a dangerous opponent who already put him on the shelf once?

AEW World Trios Championship Match: The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona) (c) vs. “Hangman” Adam Page, ROH World Champion Bandido & Brody King

The Demand became AEW World Trios Champions for the first time after claiming the titles from The Conglomeration on Dynamite last week with a major assist from The Lethal Twist's Blake Christian. When Ricochet, Kaun and Liona and The Lethal Twist kept the beatdown going after the bell, Brody King tried to make the save, but he was quickly taken down – so "Hangman" Adam Page stormed in with a barbed-wire wrapped chair to clear the ring!

On Collision, King and Bandido thanked Page, who responded by suggesting a challenge for the AEW World Trios Titles. The Demand wasted no time accepting the fight! Bandido dubbed their team The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, so they have a fun nickname. But will their lack of experience as a team be an issue against The Demand's undeniable chemistry?

AEW International Championship Match: “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher (c) vs. "Speedball" Mike Bailey

With his victory in the ladder match in his hometown of Montreal at AEW Redemption, "Speedball" Mike Bailey earned a shot at the AEW International Title, and later that night, he made a challenge to Kyle Fletcher for Mexico City. Last week on Dynamite, Bailey pinned Jake Doyle to earn the win for his team with Brodido against Doyle, Fletcher and Brian Cage of the Don Callis Family. Speedball and Fletcher came face-to-face the next night on Collision, and after an initial attack by Fletcher backstage, they fought into the arena with Bailey turning the tables to take Fletcher down and hold up the AEW International Championship. 

The pair are 1-1 against each other in AEW, with Bailey beating Fletcher in last year’s Continental Classic and Fletcher defending the TNT Title in a win over Bailey back in March. Can Fletcher make his third defense since winning the AEW International Title last month at Beach Break, or does Bailey take the rubber match and his first AEW singles gold?

AEW Women’s World Champion Willow Nightingale & Brawling Birds (Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor) vs. Mercedes Moné & AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions Divine Dominion (“Megasus” Megan Bayne and “Colossal” Lena Kross)

Last week, AEW Women's World Champion Willow Nightingale's emotional celebration on Dynamite was crashed by Mercedes Moné, who forced Nightingale to sign their All In: London contract on the spot, then had Divine Dominion help her lay out the champion. The Brawling Birds ran in to make the save, but the next night on Collision, Divine Dominion jumped Jamie Hayter and Alex Windsor after their trios win with HAZUKI. The Brawling Birds want their shot at the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Titles, so tonight could go a long way in making that a reality. And for Nightingale, this is a chance to get some retribution on Moné and regain the momentum heading into their All In: London showdown. Who will take this star-studded trios match?

CMLL World Women’s Champion Persephone vs. Kris Statlander

Persephone came up short in her TBS Championship match with Maya World on Dynamite last week, after Kris Statlander pulled a kendo stick away from her at a crucial moment late in the match. That made these two even after Persephone first cost Statlander the TBS Title in Survival of the Fittest last month. Statlander challenged Persephone to a match in Mexico City to settle this back-and-forth, so they’ll go one-on-one tonight for the first time.

Jericho, Darby Allin & Místico vs. Don Callis Family (TNT Champion “The Jet” Kevin Knight, “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada and CMLL World Heavyweight Champion Hechicero)

TNT Champion "The Jet" Kevin Knight called out any world champions, past or present willing to step up to Knight, “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada and CMLL World Heavyweight Champion Hechicero at Grand Slam: Mexico. Jericho, Darby Allin and Místico answered the call, as they take on Knight, Okada and Hechicero tonight in Mexico City!

AEW World Tag Team Champions Christian Cage & Adam Copeland & Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) vs. Death Riders (AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia, PAC and Wheeler Yuta)

Their AEW World Tag Team Championship match at All In: London is official, but before Christian Cage, Adam Copeland and the Young Bucks share a ring as opponents at Wembley Stadium, they’ll be on the same side of this huge eight-man tag with the Death Riders in Mexico City. The champions and challengers had a tense sit-down with Renee Paquette on Dynamite last week, but they’ll have to put those feelings aside to handle Moxley, Garcia, PAC and Wheeler Yuta.

As Moxley prepares to put his AEW Continental Championship on the line in the AEW Continental Challenge Cup, which begins this Saturday on Collision, he’ll take this fight as a way to continue to sharpen his skills before facing “Jungle” Jack Perry in an opening round matchup next week on Dynamite. While both sides have plenty on their plates heading into the next few weeks, they’ll have to focus up for what should be a chaotic eight-man tag team match tonight in Arena México.

For the #1 Spot in the All In: London Casino Gauntlet: “Psycho Killer” Tommaso Ciampa vs. AEW National Champion Andrade El Ídolo vs. Komander

We learned last week that a Men's Casino Gauntlet will take place at All In: London, but who will enter with the coveted #1 spot? Andrade El Ídolo and Tommaso Ciampa both threw their hats into the ring for the match to determine that first entrant, and after his impressive win over Jay Lethal on Collision, Komander rounds out this 3-Way tonight in Mexico City. Who claims the No. 1 spot and biggest head start for the Men’s Casino Gauntlet at All In: London?
