AEW makes its Montreal pay-per-view debut tonight as the inaugural Redemption event takes over the Bell Centre. Six championship belts are up for grabs. At the top of the card, an updated card from Forbes confirms Kenny Omega puts his AEW World Championship on the line against TNT Champion “The Jet” Kevin Knight.
Ahead of the broadcast, the promotion unexpectedly shifted the schedule. You need to tune in earlier than usual to catch the opening bell. According to Heavy Sports coverage verifying the modified start time, the event now kicks off at 7 PM EST on HBO Max to prevent the show from running past 1 AM EST.
Setting the Stage for Wembley
Breaking from traditional pacing, this card directly bridges the gap to the upcoming All In stadium show. That Wembley event sits just one month away. Because of that tight timeline, tonight’s clashes set up those specific storylines.
Omega isn’t just focused on Knight. Looking past tonight’s defense, he is already building toward a London singles match against Will Ospreay. Both men have heavy momentum on the line. Ospreay steps into the ring tonight for a tag-team collision of his own.
Teaming up with Jon Moxley as the Death Riders, the duo will face off against The Young Bucks. Meanwhile, the women’s division brings another title bout to the Montreal crowd. Thekla defends her AEW Women’s World Championship against Willow Nightingale.
