AEW is going all-in on the final Dynamite of 2025, and despite airing on New Years Eve, the company wants fans to know this episode is anything but filler.
According to Fightful Select, AEW has made it clear that tonights New Years Smash special is being treated as a major episode, even if it falls on December 31.
That backstage note comes as no surprise, given how stacked the lineup is coming off the fallout of Worlds End. With championship matches, a huge eliminator bout, and the return of AEW World Champion MJF, tonights show is shaping up to be a must-see close to 2025.
Heres what fans can expect:
- AEW World Champion MJF appears live after regaining the title in a huge four-way at Worlds End.
- TBS Championship Match: Mercedes Mon defends against Willow Nightingale in a grudge rematch.
- AEW National Championship: Ricochet puts the title on the line against Jack Perry.
- AEW Continental Eliminator Match: Jon Moxley faces Josh Alexander, where a 20-minute time-limit draw or a win gets Alexander a future title shot.
AEW clearly isnt phoning it in just because the calendars turning. Instead, theyre giving fans one more loaded card before heading into 2026.
AEW Dynamite airs at 8 PM ET on TBS and streams on MAX. The event takes place live from Liberty First Credit Union Arena in Omaha, Nebraska.
