Overview
- The event ran at Addition Financial Arena in Orlando with the Clockwork Carnage main event headlining a full WrestleDream card on Saturday, Oct. 17.
- Clockwork Carnage begins with an entry phase where a new wrestler joins every three minutes and eliminations occur by pin or submission, then moves to a 15‑minute scoring phase where pins and submissions decide the champion.
- Will Ospreay defended the AEW World Championship in the eight‑person match against Samoa Joe, Mike Bailey, Adam Copeland, Konosuke Takeshita, Kazuchika Okada, Ricochet and Darby Allin.
- Mercedes Moné defended the AEW Women’s World title against Thekla and AEW supported the show with two pre‑shows (Tailgate Brawl and The Buy In) and wide streaming on HBO Max, TNT, YouTube, PPV.com, DAZN and other partners.
- AEW positioned the match as both a continuity play from recent All Out storylines and an experiment from Ospreay that could change how the promotion books world‑title matches while drawing on a deep international roster and multi‑platform reach.
