New AEW pay-per-view reportedly set for 2026, name revealed
AEW may have a new pay-per-view coming in 2026 and it already has a name, according to Andrew Zarian.
The Sunday Wrestling Observer Live host said on Friday’s Mat Men Podcast that the recently trademarked AEW Redemption would be the name.
Where it goes is still unknown, but there is a front runner based on the calendar.
As of now, AEW has announced dates for May’s Double or Nothing, June’s Forbidden Door and August’s All In, leaving July wide open for that slot to be filled. For the past two years, AEW has not done either a June or July PPV.
It remains a possibility that AEW renames an existing show (September’s All Out, October’s WrestleDream, November’s Full Gear or December’s Worlds End), but that remains very unlikely.
Redemption would bring AEW to ten yearly PPVs for the first time in their history.
They started out with three in 2019, four in both 2020 and 2021, five in 2022, eight in 2023, and nine in both 2024 and 2025. With the exception of 2020’s Revolution, they have always skipped both January and February.
