AEW Worlds End 2025 goes down tonight as the final pay-per-view of the year from All Elite Wrestling.
Kicking off at 7/6c with the 'Zero Hour' pre-show, the AEW Worlds End 2025 pay-per-view itself starts at 8/7c from NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.
The following are complete AEW Worlds End results from Wednesday, December 27, 2025. The report was written by Rajah.com reporter Matt Boone (@MattBoone0709) as the show aired from 7-12:30am EST.
Renee Paquette welcomes us to the Zero Hour pre-show from the entrance ramp inside NOW Arena. She is joined by RJ City, who jokes about still having a job in AEW, as well as Lexy Nair and Jeff Jarrett.
After their brief introductions and rundown of the lineup for tonight, they send things over to Adam Cole. Cole appears via Zoom from home to hype up the AEW Continental Classic wrapping up tonight.
He predicts Konosuke Takeshita will beat Kazuchika Okada, and that Jon Moxley will beat Kyle Fletcher. He then predicts Takeshita will win in the finals with a victory over Moxley. He says fans may see more of him in 2026.
Hyan and Maya World make their respective ring entrances, as we are sent down to ringside where Excalibur and Nigel McGuinness check-in on commentary. The duo settles in the ring and their music dies down. Their opponents, the Sisters of Sin duo of Julia Hart and Skye Blue make their way out.
The bell sounds and we're officially off-and-running with our first pre-show match of the evening. Hart and World kick things off for their respective teams. We see Hyan and Maya utilize frequent tags to settle into an early offensive lead.
Unfortunately for them, however, things don't continue this way for long. Blue tags in and shifts the offensive momentum into her favor. She settles into a comfortable lead and brings in Julia, who adds to it, before the two ultimately finish things off with a quick victory.
Winners: Sisters Of Sin
After a quick video package airs to promote the four-way world title main event for the pay-per-view card later this evening, we return inside NOW Arena. The Grizzled Young Veterans theme hits and out comes James Drake and Zack Gibson.
Gibson tries cutting a promo as he walks to the ring, boasting about being Liverpool's finest, but as he settles in the ring and tries to get to his point, he is cut off by the familiar sounds of Eddie Kingston's theme. "The Mad King" beelines towards the ring as the crowd roars.
Kingston hits the ring and begins beating down Drake and Gibson by himself. The bell sounds and he goes to work on his advertised opponent, Gibson, as Excalibur and McGuinness remind us on commentary that Kingston beat Drake recently in singles competition.
After a strong start from Kingston, we see Gibson hit a big dive from the ring to "The Mad King" on the floor as Kingston was distracted by Drake. Gibson settles into a comfortable offensive lead back in the ring, raking at the eyes of Kingston in the ropes.
Kingston and Gibson break out in a good-old-fashioned slugfest in the middle of the ring. Kingston gets the better of the exchange, before backing Gibson into the corner for some machinegun-style rapid-fire chops. Drake gets on the apron and hits Kingston with a cheap shot behind the referee's back.
Gibson capitalizes with a big knee off the middle rope. Kingston gets up on his knees and Gibson blasts him with a shot. He yells in his face to stay down. He blasts him again. He slaps Kingston and Kingston loses it and goes buck-wild on him, culminating with a DDT for the win.
Drake chokes Kingston out with the scarf afterwards. While Drake holds the scarf choke, Gibson gears up for the coast-to-coast kick in the grill. Before he can execute it, however, Ortiz runs out to make the save for his longtime friend, running off the Grizzled Young Vets.
Winner: Eddie Kingston
A video package airs to promote the semifinal matches in the AEW Continental Classic taking place later during the pay-per-view portion of tonight's event. Excalibur informs us that Konosuke Takeshita vs. Kazuchika Okada and Jon Moxley vs. Kyle Fletcher will kick off the pay-per-view broadcast.
Inside the arena once again, the ring entrances for our next Zero Hour pre-show match begins. Out first comes RPG Vice from The Don Callis Family. Mark Davis and Rocky Romero make their way out and head to the ring. They settle inside and their music dies down.
Now the entrance tune for their opponents begins, with Mascara Dorada and Bandido coming out back-to-back. The ROH World Champion gets the fire pyro for his entrance, and a big pop from the Chicago-based crowd. The commentators remind us Bandido won the Dynamite Diamond Ring.
The bell sounds and we're officially off-and-running with this one. Kicking things off for their respective teams at the onset are Davis and Dorada. Davis starts off strong. Bandido tags in. Davis handles him with ease, over-powering him early on as well.
We see the action spill out to the floor where some cool spots go down, including modern day Ole Anderson, aka Mark Davis, hitting a running splash onto a seated Bandido on a chair. Back in the ring, Bandido and Dorada speed things up and finish this one out with an impressive victory.
Winners: Mascara Dorada & Bandido
An El Clon is coming to Collision in 2026 vignette airs. Excalibur apologizes for those technical difficulties. A video package airs promoting Jamie Hayter vs. Kris Statlander for the AEW Women's World Championship later in the pay-per-view portion of the show.
Back inside the arena, a split-screen promo from Don Callis airs as entrances for our next match begin. Out comes Jurassic Express, only to be attacked from behind by The Demand trio of Ricochet and The Gates of Agony, and their partner Josh Alexander.
We see a member of the opposition carried off to the back. JetSpeed make their way out as Jack Perry and Luchasaurus' partners. They are doing way too much, too fast, to try and keep up with considering how many names are involved and others being shown all in a span of about 10 seconds.
Anyways, the match gets underway and now we see Ricochet taking it to Bailey. After some more back-and-forth action things begin to pick up with just a few minutes remaining on the pre-show. We see Perry low-bridged Liona to the outside and laid out Ricochet with a bounce back lariat, as a leaping DDT spiked Alexander for a near fall.
The Demand triple teamed Perry, with Ricochet hitting his running Shooting Star for two. G.O.A. went after JetSpeed, who used their quickness to send Kaun & Liona packing. Perry got a few near falls, but Ricochet responded with the visually impressive powerbomb into Death Valley Driver for a close two.
Loading up The Spirit Gun, Ricochet went for the home-run shot until Luchasaurus came out with his shoulder bandaged up and took out Kaun & Alexander with clotheslines. Perry made the hot tag to a one-armed Luchasaurus, as JetSpeed took out Kaun & Alexander with double moonsaults. Perry tags in and hits Sacrifice Knee for 1-2-3.
Winners: JetSpeed & Jurassic Express
The Zero Hour pre-show wraps up and we shift gears and make our transition into the main pay-per-view portion of tonight's event. An excellent opening video package airs to get us started, focusing on the final matches in the 2025 AEW Continental Classic tournament.
Inside the arena, we head down to ringside for our PPV opener. In the first of two semifinal matches in the C2, we will see last year's tournament winner and the self-proclaimed greatest tournament wrestler of all-time, Kazuchika Okada, going one-on-one against "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita.
The two make their respective ring entrances and then the bell sounds to get this one officially off-and-running. We hear some loud "Holy sh*t!" chants before anything even happens. Okada extends a hand to the Alpha, who slaps it in a slight show of sportsmanship despite their differences.
From there, things get started as they lock up. Okada wrings the arm of Takeshita. Takeshita reverses it, putting the pressure on Okada. The two end up in the ring ropes, where the referee jumps in and calls for a break. The action continues.
Okada takes the Alpha to the mat for a toe hold. Konosuke starts to fight back, leading to a side headlock from Okada. Takeshita fights to his feet before being brought to the ropes by Okada, who obliges with a break before booting Takeshita in the gut. Takeshita narrowly dodges a Rainmaker lariat for a flying clothesline of his own.
Takeshita gets a head-scissor on Okada while going after the arm, but Okada manages to break free to get to the outside. Konosuke follows him, but gets sent to the barricade for his efforts before Okada catches him with a drop toe hold, sending the Alpha face first into a chair.
He follows with a suplex sending Takeshita to the floor, and then sending him into the barricade before bringing the fight back into the ring. Okada goes for a cover, but only gets a near-fall before Takeshita gets back to his feet. Okada mocks him, offering a free shot that Takeshita takes, before Okada hits a DDT for a two-count.
With both men back up, they start going at it once more before Takeshita drops Okada with a brain-buster. He brings Okada back up to send to the ropes, and despite Okada ducking a clothesline he ends up taking a hurricanrana that sends him to the outside.
Takeshita gets the drop on him with a dive. He quickly brings the Rainmaker back into the ring to stop the refâs count. Takeshita charges from the corner, taking Okada out with a boot followed by an exploder suplex sending him to the canvas. He goes to work on the neck of Okada, but the Rainmaker goes after his face to force a break.
Okada in the corner, and he catches Takeshita with what I can best describe as a backpack neck-breaker before setting up for an elbow drop from the top rope, and flipping off both the crowd and Takeshita. Konosuke wonât take that lying down, however, and he gets to his feet to land some hard strikes on Okada.
They go back and forth until Okada gets rocked, dropping to a knee. Okada is back up and they go back and forth once again, until Okada sends Takeshita to his knees with an uppercut. He looks for a tombstone piledriver, but Takeshita counters and that gets countered. Takeshita finally lands a modified tombstone.
He follows that up with a wheelbarrow suplex. He brings Okada to his feet, but gets caught by the RainmakerâŠonly to counter the lariat into a Blue Thunder Bomb, which gets the Alpha a close near-fall. Takeshita gets to the corner for a Power Drive Knee, but Okada blocks it before landing a Rainmaker lariat.
'The Alpha' simply absorbs it, seemingly unfazed. He lands a couple forearms but takes a Rainmaker lariat dropping him to the mat. Okada holds onto the wrist for a second one, bringing Takeshita to this feet, but the Alpha counters with a headbutt.
Okada manages to fight back with a German suplex, looking for another Rainmaker lariat before Takeshita counters for a roll up and a two count. Okada is back on his feet and answers with a pair of dropkicks, but a Rainmaker lariat gets blocked again as Takeshita lands the Power Drive Knee for the cover.
Okada kicks out just in time. Takeshita is back up, but gets knocked away as Okada heads to the corner, where he pulls out a screwdriver from underneath the turnbuckle pad. Takeshita catches him with a knee to the back, looking for a Rainmaker, but Okada ducks it, uses and hides the screwdriver and hits a Rainmaker for the win.

Now it's time to find out who Kazuchika Okada will be meeting in the finals, as the other semifinal match in the 2025 AEW Continental Classic tournament is up next. It will be Jon Moxley of The Death Riders squaring off against Kyle Fletcher of The Don Callis Family.
We get a lock-up to start things off. Fletcher backs Mox to the corner leading to a call for a break. Another lock up ends with Fletcher going after the hand of the former World Champion, who breaks free to land a hard chop. Kyle leaves the ring for a quick breather. He rolls back in to break the count and rolls back out.
Mox follows him to the outside, the two going at it before Kyle gets sent into the announce table, and then back in the ringâŠwhere he responds by slamming Mox hard to the mat. Mox uses the ropes to stand up, and Fletcher sets him up for a chop there and then in the corner.
Mox gets sent to the opposite corner, but he lands some hard forearm strikes on Fletcher who then gets sent back to the outside. Mox follows him again, this time sending Fletcher into the barricade before setting him up on a chair for a big boot. He breaks the refâs count before going back to work on Fletcher, who manages to turn it around.
He sends Mox to the floor. He pulls the ring steps away from the post until Mox intervenes, and this just allows Kyle to prop the steps against his leg, driving it in until the ref calls him off. Fletcher sees his opportunity and runs in with a kick to put on some more damage, eventually bringing Mox back into the ring.
He goes to work on the leg before driving it back. He brings a now busted-open Mox to the corner to go after the leg some more, the ref intervening with a count as Kyle tells him he has until five. He brings Mox to the middle for a leglock, but Mox manages to break free.
Fletcher leaves the ring as heâs dealing with a tooth issue, and this gives Mox an opening for a dive, though he gets caught up in the ropes, so he nearly takes as much damage. Mox sends Fletcher into the ring but is dealing with the painâŠand this allows Mox to catch him for a near-fall.
Mox is back up as he looks for a clothesline, but Fletcher is barely fazed as he mocks Moxley. Jon responds with another clothesline before hitting the ropes for a third one that sends the former TNT Champion to the mat, except that heâs twisted his ankle, leading to him favoring it on the mat himself. Both men exchange strikes.
Mox sends Fletcher toward the corner, where he sets up for some mounted punches until Fletcher drops him to the outside. Kyle looking for a kick from the apron butâs blocked, only for the Protostar to land a thrust kick when Mox steps onto the apron, setting up for a brain-buster onto the hardest part of the ring.
Mox is dazed on the floor as Fletcher slowly makes his way up to get back into the ring, demanding the ref to begin the count. We reach a count of nine before Mox narrowly gets back into the ring, running right into a Liger Bomb by Fletcher for a two count. Fletcher immediately changes into a single leg crab.
He keeps Mox trapped in the middle of the ring before focusing on the ankle. He extends it back, too far back, as Mox catches him for a bulldog choke. Now itâs Fletcher whoâs trapped, but he manages to finally break free and he goes for an ankle lock.
He settles in for a grapevine hold as well and Mox is wriggling and inching his way to the ropes, finally getting the bottom rope for the break. âMoxleyâ chants spread as Mox starts to fight back. Fletcher sends him to the corner, but Jon bites his way loose. Mox hits the ropes for a curb stomp.
Mox has a hard time but manages to get a cover on Fletcher, who counters with a crucifix for a two of his own. They go back and forth and Fletcher drops Mox, but only gets a one count. Mox is firing himself up as Fletcher heads to the corner, catching Mox with a sheer drop brain-buster for a two-count.
Mox with a Bulldog Choke for the win. Fletcher chop-blocks Moxley's knee from behind after the match, sending Mox into the finals against fellow member of The Don Callis Family, Kazuchika Okada, at less than one-hundred percent. The finals take place later tonight.
