Robbed of his “Wembley moment,” PAC will cash in on his AEW International/American title shot at September’s All Out, taking on the winner of the MJF vs. Will Ospreay rematch at this month’s All In.

PAC appeared on Dynamite in a backstage promo to air his displeasure about how Ospreay went about getting his rematch, robbing PAC of the moment of appearing in his home country at London, England’s Wembley Stadium.

PAC earned the shot on the July 10th Dynamite by winning a four-way over Claudio Castagnoli, Tomohiro Ishii and Kyle Fletcher but the date was never announced as when he could have it.

PAC has never faced MJF while he went one-on-one with Ospreay in February 2019 for RevPro.

PAC won the inaugural All-Atlantic title in June 2022, later changed to the International title in March 2023 and then changed to the American title after MJF won it at last month’s 250th Dynamite. PAC initially held the title for 108 days and defended it seven times, losing it to Orange Cassidy on an October edition of Dynamite.

It’s the first match officially announced for the Saturday, September 7th pay-per-view from Chicago, Illinois.

A rematch of one of the best bouts of the year is officially set for next month’s AEW All In from London’s Wembley Stadium as MJF will defend his newly-renamed AEW American Championship against Will Ospreay.

The rematch was put into motion during the opening segment on Wednesday’s Dynamite. MJF kicked off the show by proclaiming that he decided to rename the International title to the American title, complete with a new belt he unveiled Wednesday (seen above).

Ospreay interrupted the proceedings and after calling out MJF for cheating, he said he had a meeting with Tony Khan and the rematch was on for Wembley. Ospreay then recovered the International title from a trash can MJF tossed the belt into.

In previous weeks, MJF had offered Daniel Garcia a match for the August pay-per-view, but then attacked him after Ospreay’s title defense over Garcia. laying him out. Garcia has yet to return, selling storyline injuries.

Ospreay and MJF competed against each other for the first time ever on last week’s 250th Dynamite that went nearly an hour, ending when MJF punched Ospreay with his Dynamite diamond ring which led to him getting the win and the title.

Here’s the current official card for the Sunday, August 25th event:

  • AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland defends against Bryan Danielson
  • AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm defends against Mariah May
  • AEW American/International Champion MJF defends against Will Ospreay
