On February 14, 2026, AEW Grand Slam Australia took place at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, featuring top wrestling talent in a highly anticipated event broadcast instead of the usual AEW Collision episode. The event included intense matches and moments focused on the Brody King AEW Grand Slam showdown, along with several key title defenses and surprising outcomes.
Anticipation Builds Around Key Matches and Unique Stipulations
The Grand Slam Australia card contained several compelling matches, including a mixed tornado tag team match where the loser would have their head shaved. Orange Cassidy and Toni Storm teamed up against The Death Riders, Wheeler Yuta and Marina Shafir, with speculation suggesting Marina Shafir might be the one to lose her hair. Other predictions favored Jon Moxley defending his AEW Continental Championship against Konosuke Takeshita, although interference from The Don Callis Family posed a potential obstacle.
Heading into the world title clash, most expected MJF to retain against Brody King, while the TNT Championship ladder match between Kyle Fletcher and Mark Briscoe was seen as a potential show-stealer. The women’s tag team titles between The Babes of Wrath and MegaBad also created buzz, with some considering a title change likely to allow Willow Nightingale to shift focus to defending the TBS Championship.
