Speculation about what will end up being the main event for AEW Redemption in Montreal

As seen during the July 8th 2026 edition of AEW Dynamite, Kenny Omega defeated MJF to win the AEW World Championship. According to Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com, the original plan was for the match to take place at the AEW Redemption PPV in Montreal. The match was set to include a major stipulation: if Omega lost, he would never again be able to challenge for the AEW World Championship.

Meltzer noted that the match was instead moved to the July 8th episode of AEW Dynamite, a decision he believes was pushed by MJF, although he was not given a reason for the change. He added that regardless of where the idea originated, AEW President Tony Khan ultimately approved it, suggesting he believes Redemption will still have a PPV-caliber main event.

Meltzer speculated on what the main event might end up being…

“Will Ospreay and MJF did a big pull-apart and if there is anything that people seemed interested in, that would be it, but putting the title shot at stake could slow Wembley ticket sales, which are also not knocking them dead at all.

Omega as champion could face MJF in a rematch. Perhaps that could involve Omega asking for Adam Page’s restrictions to be dropped and it could set up a Page vs. MJF match at Wembley which has always felt like the right match for that show.”
