The Devil vs The Assassin vs God: 3 reasons why All In AEW World Title Match needs to be a three-way

× At Dynamite: Beach Break, MJF defended his AEW Men's World Championship against Kenny Omega under the stipulation that if he managed to retain against his challenger once more, Omega would never be allowed to compete for the belt ever again. The Devil tried his hardest to overcome his opponent, deploying every unsavory trick in his book, but thanks to Will Ospreay's timely intervention, it was The God of Professional Wrestling who captured the win and the World Championship for the second time. Ad As things stand, the tentative main event of AEW All In: London next month is going to be Omega defending his World Title against Ospreay in their long-awaited rematch.

However, many viewers have shared the opinion lately that MJF deserves to play a part in the World Championship scene heading into the blockbuster stadium show, especially considering his excellent work with the "Triple B" across both his reigns with the belt this year. Ad Trending The debate has birthed conjecture that AEW may insert The Salt of The Earth in Omega's World Title defense against Ospreay, modifying it into a three-way match. While such a booking choice may face opposition from viewers who want a straightforward one-on-one showdown between The Best Bout Machine and The Aerial Assassin, a case can indeed be made for Tony Khan including Friedman in the main event of All In 2026.

Let us explore three reasons why this is so. Ad #1. MJF has a point to prove against Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay Fans have for some time caught on to the fact that MJF's on-screen character is very much driven by his insecurities, which is what they believe drives The Wolf of Wrestling into making the choices he makes and crossing the kinds of lines he crosses.

His need for validation and his need to have his superiority complex justified were huge elements in his 2024 rivalry with Will Ospreay, evidenced in Friedman lashing out at the former International Champion because audiences at the time were more enamored with him than they were with Max. Ad MJF utilized his Dynamite Diamond Ring to steal the International Title from Ospreay on the 250th episode of AEW Dynamite, but the latter won the belt back from the self-proclaimed "generational talent" at All In: London 2024. Friedman has, in all likelihood, not forgotten the sting of that loss and has been desperate to avenge it, which is probably why he was so keen about facing The Sky King at Wembley.

Ad However, Kenny Omega beating him for the World Title at Dynamite: Beach Break has thrown a monkey wrench in Big Hebrew's plans for All In 2026, ignoring the effects such a setback may have had on his confidence. MJF has every incentive to cash in his rematch clause and try to insert himself into The Cleaner's AEW Men's World Championship defense against Ospreay. He could do so to silence naysayers who believe Ospreay and Omega are on a higher level as performers compared to him by winning the title against both of them.

It’s MJF.” - MJF ( @JustinBarrasso ) Ad Furthermore, as someone who did win a World Championship four-way match to capture the belt at Worlds End 2025, Friedman would arguably have a slight advantage in the bout, the outcome of which will be all the more uncertain with his addition. #2.

Three-Way main event could justify The Death Riders' interference Since April, Will Ospreay has been training with The Death Riders to get in the best shape possible heading into the 2026 Owen Hart Foundation Cup. Jon Moxley and his crew worked with and supported The Aerial Assassin as he made his way in the tournament first through Samoa Joe and then through Mark Davis, finally beating Swerve Strickland in the finals at AEW Forbidden Door 2026 as The One True King and his stable surrounded the ring and cheered him on. Ad After Forbidden Door, Mox officially invited Ospreay to join the ranks of The Death Riders.

The Englishman has since been donning a Death Riders patch on his gear, and his first two matches since the Owen Cup finals have been tag bouts in which he successfully teamed with Moxley. He seems to be getting increasingly comfortable with his relationship with the violent group, and has even been arguing with his protege and United Empire stablemate Callum Newman after the latter called him out for breaking his word to him on social media.

If MJF is added to his AEW World Title defense against Kenny Omega at All In: London, the bout will turn into a no disqualification match. Such a development would justify Mox and his soldiers interfering in the World Championship three-way match to help The Commonwealth Kingpin get the win, like the stable had done during Moxley's reign numerous times. Ad Such interference would arguably feel much less necessary if Omega
