In the night’s main event, Samoa Joe will defend the AEW World Championship against Hangman Adam Page, Swerve Strickland, and MJF. The match was originally scheduled as a three-way contest, but MJF was added to the bout at Holiday Bash after cashing in his Casino Gauntlet contract. Joe, who defeated MJF for the title at Worlds End 2023, faces a field of former champions.
Continental Classic Conclusion
The Continental Classic tournament will conclude tonight with both the semifinal and final rounds taking place. In the first semifinal, Unified Champion Kazuchika Okada will face IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Konosuke Takeshita. The second semifinal sees Kyle Fletcher take on Jon Moxley. The winners of these two matches will compete later in the evening to determine the 2025 Continental Classic winner.
Championship Matches
Kris Statlander is set to defend the AEW Women’s World Championship against Jamie Hayter. This marks Hayter’s first one-on-one world title opportunity since losing the belt in 2023.
The AEW World Tag Team Championships will be on the line in a Chicago Street Fight as FTR defends against the Bang Bang Gang. Additionally, the Babes of Wrath (Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron) will defend the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships against the team of Mercedes Moné and Athena.
