Will Ospreay defends the AEW World Championship against seven challengers in the first Clockwork Carnage match at AEW WrestleDream 2026 on Saturday, October 17, at the Addition Financial Arena in Orlando, Florida.
Two wrestlers start Clockwork Carnage, with another entering every three minutes. Anyone pinned or submitted before the eighth entrant comes in is eliminated. Once all eight are in, a 15-minute scoring period begins, and the wrestler with the most pinfalls and submissions when time runs out leaves as AEW World Champion.
The Saturday Tailgate Brawl pre-show starts at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on TNT and HBO Max. The main card starts at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on HBO Max pay-per-view, with Prime Video, YouTube and MyAEW among the other options listed by AEW.
