Sunday night’s AEW Redemption 2026 main event ended when Matt Jackson pinned Jon Moxley. The Young Bucks defeated Moxley and Will Ospreay in a chaotic match at the Bell Centre in Montreal. And the loss completely shattered the alliance between the two partners.
Moxley spent recent weeks trying to mold Ospreay into a ruthless competitor under the Death Riders banner. But that forced partnership collapsed during the pay-per-view. Ospreay refused to cross a specific line with a weapon—a hesitation that directly cost his team the match.
Internal Conflict Ruins the Death Riders
It didn’t take long for trouble to start when Nick Jackson suffered a kayfabe injury. After a headbutt with Ospreay, he collapsed outside the ring. Moxley immediately ordered his partner to exploit the vulnerable state. But Ospreay hesitated. He didn’t have the killer instinct Moxley was looking for.
Ringside chaos quickly took over the match. Behind the referee’s back, Marina Shafir interfered to attack Nick. Matt Jackson later dropped her accidentally with an errant superkick. Back inside the ropes, a severe miscommunication wrecked the Death Riders—Ospreay accidentally struck Moxley with a flying forearm. The Bucks capitalized with a BTE Trigger on Moxley. Ospreay then broke up the pinfall attempt with a Hidden Blade.
Moxley seemingly had the match won moments later. He delivered two Paradigm Shifts and a Death Rider to Nick Jackson. Rather than attempt a pin, Moxley knocked down the referee and grabbed a steel chair. So Ospreay intervened. He snatched the weapon away and refused to let Moxley use it. The resulting distraction secured the Young Bucks’ victory.
Nick Jackson recovered just enough to hit Ospreay with a superkick. Once they isolated Moxley, the Young Bucks hit him with another BTE Trigger. Moxley popped up to give his opponents a middle finger. The Bucks responded with a barrage of superkicks to the face. Matt Jackson finally collapsed onto Moxley for the three-count.
Championship Implications for All In
Sunday’s implosion carries title implications. Ospreay currently holds the 2026 Owen Cup winner status. He’s already guaranteed a World Championship match against Kenny Omega at the upcoming All In event. Honestly, his refusal to embrace Moxley’s violent tactics mirrors his tag-team trust issues with Omega.
Earlier in the Montreal broadcast, The Conglomeration retained the AEW Trios Titles. The team of Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, and Kyle O’Reilly defeated The Lethal Twist trio of Jay Lethal, Blake Christian, and Lee Johnson in a 12-minute bout.
Speedball Mike Bailey secured an International Championship opportunity to open the main card. He received a hometown ovation and won a Six-Way Ladder match. To claim the contract, he climbed past Jungle Jack Perry, El Clon, The Beast Mortos, Nick Wayne, and Komander.
