The challenge was made on Dynamite and now AEW has confirmed Anarchy In The Arena is returning at Double Or Nothing.

At Double Or Nothing in 2024, Anarchy In The Arena saw Bryan Danielson, Darby Allin, and FTR fall at the hands of The Elite despite Allin sending Jack Perry up in flames.

It looked like the wild match is set to return in 2025 after all hell broke loose at the end of Dynamite Beach Break in Chicago.

Jon Moxley put his AEW World Title on the line against Samoa Joe in a Steel Cage match. Moxley retained his title thanks to help from former NJPW star Gabe Kidd, while Powerhouse Hobbs, Willow Nightingale, Claudio Castagnoli, Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, Kazuchika Okada, and Speedball Mike Bailey were all involved in the post-match carnage.

Eventually, Joe and Omega found themselves trapped in the cage with the Death Riders and The Bucks, who laid the pair out. That then brought out Swerve Strickland, who scaled the cage and wiped out everyone still standing. The Young Bucks and the Death Riders cleared the ring before Strickland laid down the challenge for Anarchy In The Arena. Now the match has been made official.

Jon Moxley accepted Strickland’s challenge, and AEW on social media has confirmed the wild match is on.
