AEW returns to the Blood & Guts structure on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, when Dynamite airs live from VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida. The men’s Blood & Guts match features Will Ospreay, Adam Copeland, Darby Allin and Steven Borden teaming together, with The Young Bucks, Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson, on the opposing side, according to Fightful and Ringside News. The show is slated to begin at 8 p.m. ET and will broadcast on TBS and stream on Max.
Blood & Guts is AEW’s signature structure match, combining elements of a steel cage and a War Games-style environment, and the promotion has historically used it to settle long-running feuds with high stakes and minimal interference. This edition arrives as part of AEW’s build toward the Full Gear pay-per-view, with Ringside News reporting that the November 4 Dynamite is specifically positioned to advance storylines heading into that event.
The grouping of Ospreay, Copeland, Allin and Borden against The Young Bucks places two of AEW’s most prominent singles stars, Ospreay and Copeland, alongside Allin and Borden in a five-man unit that will need to work in concert inside the Blood & Guts cage. On the other side, Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson anchor a trio that has long been associated with high-risk, high-spot wrestling, a style that typically intensifies inside the Blood & Guts format given its emphasis on physical escalation across multiple rings and cage levels.
The Jacksonville date also carries significance beyond AEW’s own card. The same night, WWE NXT presents its own major matchup, with Grayson Waller defending the NXT Championship against CM Punk, according to Ringside News, in a match built on the fallout from NXT’s Halloween Havoc premium live event. While that match is a separate WWE property and not part of AEW’s Blood & Guts show, the overlapping Wednesday night schedule gives wrestling fans a notable choice between two high-profile matches airing at the same time.
AEW has not publicly detailed further stipulations for the Blood & Guts bout beyond the confirmed team alignment, and no additional context on the origins of the feud between the two sides was included in the available previews. Viewers can expect the full Dynamite card, including any additional Full Gear build matches, to be detailed further as AEW’s official go-home coverage for the pay-per-view continues.
