AEW World’s End Live Results & Updates – 12/27/2025
The final AEW pay-per-view emanates live from the Now Arena near Chicago, Illinois, as the All Elite promotion gears up for an incredible night of action.
The show has some amazing matches on the card, with several of the company’s championships up for grabs tonight. The AEW World Championship will be defended in a four-way match.
Samoa Joe will defend his title against former champions Hangman Page, Swerve Stirckland, and MJF, who inserted himself in the match after cashing in the World Championship opportunity he earned by winning the Casino Gauntlet match at All In: Texas.
Meanwhile, the Continental Classic tournament will reach its conclusion tonight as well. Keeping in line with the previous year’s editions, both the semi-finals and the final of the tournament will take place tonight.
The current AEW Continental and Unified Champion, Kazuchika Okada, is still alive in the tournament and will lose the titles if he loses to Konosuke Takeshita in the semi-final tonight.
The winner of that bout will face either Jon Moxley or the third Don Callis Family member alive in the tournament, Kyle Fletcher. Many more such matches will be on offer tonight, so join in for the show!

Konosuke Takeshita vs Kazuchika Okada open the show!
The first of the two Continental Classic semi-finals scheduled for the night gets us underway in Chicago, Illinois. The two star members of the Don Callis Family, Konosuke Takeshita and Kazuchika Okada, go head-to-head against one another.
Both of these wrestlers have seen tension develop between them over the past few weeks, and they took this opportunity to address those issues. They are both wrestling a very personal and intense match till now, with both Okada and Takeshita taking the fight to each other.
Okada and Takeshita exchanged blows in the middle of the ring before Takeshita and Okada started to hit each other with their signature moves. Okada was about to go for a Raimaker before Takeshita reversed it into a blue thunder bomb.

The Alpha always seemed to have the Rainmaker scouted, as every time Okada tried the move, he would reverse it with a big move of his own. However, Okada ultimately emerged victorious but did so with the help of a foreign object.
The Rainmaker used a screwdriver to get his win as he hit the Alpha in the head with the weapon, behind the referee’s back, as he smashed the screwdriver to his head while running at him, and then went for the pin to head into the finals.
Winner: Kazuchika Okada
Jon Moxley and Kyle Fletcher fight it out in the second semifinal
The second match of the final AEW show of the year will see Jon Moxley and Kyle Fletcher fight against each other to join Kazuchika Okada in the finals of the Continental Classic 2025.
Fletcher started the match on the frontfoot but chose to slow the pace down, and that proved to be the turning point in the match. Moxley took control on the outside and dominated Fletcher in the ring side area.
Fletcher, however, showed that he can meet Moxley’s hardcore nature of wrestling. He trapped Mox’s leg between the steel steps and the ring post and proceeded to attack the steps with a running dropkick.

He then continued assaulting Mox’s left leg while inside the ring as he looked to put the former World Champion away. Fletcher hit the Michunoku Driver on Moxley for another two-count as the Death Riders’ leader showed incredible resilience.
He followed that up with a heavy clothesline to the Protostar as both men struggled to get back to their feet. They continued their brawl on the apron, where Fletcher hit Mox with a brainbuster on the apron. He narrowly avoided the 10 count and was met with a Liger bomb as soon as he entered the ring.
However, Mox kicked out of the move as well, and Fletcher then locked in the single leg crab and the ankle lock on Mox, but he got out of both submission holds. Moxley then hit Fletcher with the cut throat suplex from the top rope, which saw Fletcher land awkwardly on his neck.
He further dealt damage to his neck as he hit the Protostar with the Stomp. Fletcher recovered to hit Mox with another Brainbuster, this time in the middle of the ring, but Mox kicked out once again.
It was Fletcher’s turn to frustrate Mox as he kicked out of the Paradigm Shift once before kicking out of the Death Rider. Moxley then proceeded to choke Fletcher out with the sleeper hold and held on till the Protostar passed out in the ring, and Mox was declared the winner.
Winner: Jon Moxley
