Young Bucks Call Out Moxley and Ospreay, and Redemption Just Became a Must-Watch Card
AEW's brand new Redemption pay-per-view already had six matches booked for Montreal, but a fresh grudge between the Young Bucks and the Moxley-Ospreay pairing might steal the whole show on July 26.
Key takeaways
- Matt and Nick Jackson challenged Jon Moxley and Will Ospreay to a tag match during a Collision taping, and Moxley accepted on air.
- AEW Redemption lands Sunday, July 26 at Centre Bell in Montreal as the promotion's first ever event under that name.
- The card has grown to seven announced matches, including five title defenses and the new Young Bucks tag grudge.
- For Vegas fans, the drama is a reminder that the best storylines start with a callout, the same way local indie cards build their own rivalries.
AEW Redemption is a brand new event on the calendar, and it already has a stacked lineup heading into Montreal on July 26.
The Bucks Throw Down the Gauntlet
During a Collision taping this past week, Matt and Nick Jackson stopped pretending everything was fine between them and Will Ospreay. The Bucks have watched Ospreay drift closer to Jon Moxley and the Death Riders crew for weeks now, and they finally said what everybody was thinking out loud in front of the crowd. They pointed straight at the moment Ospreay told them to clear out of his ring, and they made it clear that debt was coming due.
Moxley didn't duck the challenge. He grabbed a mic and basically admitted that his history with the Elite has always been complicated, calling it a dance he and the Bucks have been doing for years, sometimes as rivals and sometimes as allies. That kind of honesty is exactly why this feud has legs. Nobody is pretending the alliance between Ospreay and the Death Riders is a clean fit, and the Bucks are betting they can expose the cracks in Montreal.
Redemption's Card Just Got Loaded
This tag match lands on a Redemption card that was already stacked before the Bucks opened their mouths. Adam Copeland and Christian Cage will defend the AEW World Tag Team Championship against the Death Riders duo of Claudio Castagnoli and PAC, a match that came together after the champs got jumped on Dynamite and Copeland fired back with a callout of his own.
A grudge singles match between Chris Jericho and Tommaso Ciampa rounded out the announced card as its sixth confirmed bout, before the Bucks callout made it seven. Add in the world title picture and a handful of other grudges, and this first ever Redemption event is shaping up to be a genuinely stacked night in Montreal rather than a placeholder show between the bigger summer dates.
Why This One Feels Different
What makes the Bucks versus Moxley and Ospreay pairing interesting is that none of the four guys involved really trust each other. Ospreay spent a chunk of this year at odds with Moxley before the two started running together, and the Bucks have their own tangled history with both men going back years. That kind of messy alliance is where the best wrestling stories usually come from, because everybody in the match has a reason to turn on somebody else before the bell even rings.
It also sets up Redemption as more than a title-defense showcase. A tag match built on genuine bad blood, sitting on a card already loaded with six matches, gives fans a reason to care about every segment instead of just the marquee title bouts.
The Vegas Angle: Grudges Build the Best Shows
Every great callout on national TV started the same way a lot of our local cards start here in Vegas: two people who genuinely do not like each other, saying so out loud, and letting the crowd pick a side. That's the fun of this business whether it's a sold out arena in Montreal or a packed community hall on the Strip.
If storylines like the Bucks going after Moxley and Ospreay get you fired up, that same energy is alive and well at local indie shows every month, and in the training rooms where the next generation of talent is learning how to build a program just like this one.
