On the Buy-In, Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, and Roderick Strong retained the AEW World Trios Titles over Jay Lethal, Blake Christian, and Lee Johnson, with Strong’s backbreaker setting up Cassidy’s pin, per Bleacher Report.
In the six-way ladder match for an International Title shot, Speedball Mike Bailey outlasted Jungle Jack Perry, Komander, The Beast Mortos, Nick Wayne, and El Clon. Yahoo Sports UK reported the Montreal crowd erupted as Bailey retrieved the contract, earning a future shot at either Fletcher or Bandido.

Why did AEW Redemption matter heading into All In?
AEW framed Redemption as a make-or-break night for wrestlers eyeing All In: London. Will Ospreay, winner of the 2026 Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament, is already locked into a World Title match in his hometown. Mercedes Moné awaits the Women’s World Champion after winning the Owen Hart Women’s Tournament.
Bailey’s ladder win adds another high-stakes International Title challenger into that same stretch, keeping AEW Redemption results relevant well beyond Montreal.
