AEW WrestleDream 2026 heads to Orlando on Oct. 17 with Ospreay defending in Clockwork Carnage

AEW will stage WrestleDream 2026 in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday, October 17 at the Addition Financial Arena, with Ospreay set to defend the AEW World Championship in an eight-man Clockwork Carnage match.

WrestleDream is billed as the annual event held in honour of Japanese wrestling legend Antonio Inoki and will be staged in Florida for the first time; the card is expected to include several championship matches across AEW's roster.

The Clockwork Carnage encounter is an eight-man contest that names Samoa Joe and Speedball Mike Bailey among the participants, alongside five other wrestlers.

Mercedes Moné is scheduled to defend the AEW Women’s World Championship against Thekla.

The Young Bucks, Jon Moxley, Andrade El Idolo and the current champions of trios are also slated to take part in title fights on the WrestleDream card.

Several rivalries are reported to be at a crossroads heading into the event, and organisers say WrestleDream may have an impact on the fate of AEW in 2026.
