What the preshow usually includes

AEW preshows are typically built around preview coverage, storyline catch ups, and match hype, with talent and hosts breaking down what is coming on the main card. Depending on the event, you may also get bonus content like interviews or additional segments.

Quick troubleshooting if the stream is not playing

  • Make sure you are signed in and your app is updated.
  • Try switching from Wi Fi to mobile data (or vice versa).
  • Refresh the streams page and look for a second listing if AEW posts an updated link.

Two title matches official for AEW Worlds End

The AEW World and Women’s titles will be on the line later this month.

It was confirmed on Saturday that Samoa Joe will defend the AEW World title in a three-way match, pitting himself against Swerve Strickland and Hangman Page. During Dynamite, Page made clear that whoever walked out of the show the AEW World Champion, they would be meeting him next. On Collision, Strickland defeated Josh Alexander and revealed after the match that he was also setting his sights on the AEW World Championship.

Both men are targeting Joe following the events of Full Gear, when the leader of the Opps won the title thanks to help from Hook, who attacked Page. The end of the pay-per-view saw Swerve make his return, with Joe guiding him to attack longtime rival Page. However, Swerve instead chose to go after The Opps, closing the show by standing strong against them.

During Collision, it was also announced that Kris Statlander would defend the AEW Women’s Championship against Jamie Hayter on December 27. The two were successful on Saturday, defeating The Sisters of Sin. Backstage after the match, Hayter issued the challenge for Worlds End. Statlander accepted, but the two started to argue right after.

AEW Worlds End (December 27)

  • AEW World Championship: Samoa Joe defends against Hangman Page and Swerve Strickland
  • Continental Classic finals
  • Continental Classic semifinals
  • AEW Women’s Championship: Kris Statlander defends against Jamie Hayter

Report: Absent AEW star factored into Worlds End plans

MJF could be heading back to AEW sooner than you think.

According to WrestleVotes Live on Fightful Select, MJF is factored into plans for the December 27 World’s End event in Chicago as of Thanksgiving week. He’s been gone from AEW since All Out when he lost to Mark Briscoe in a thumbtacks and tables match.

The report comes as AEW has plans to determine the next Dynamite Diamond Ring winner in a matter of weeks, an accomplishment that MJF has won every year since 2019. Next week’s Dynamite will have the Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royal in Manchester, England. The final two participants will then move on to the Dynamite Diamond Ring Final the following week. Whoever wins there will also get an AEW World Championship match on the January 14 edition of Dynamite.

Before he went to film his role in Violent Night 2, MJF cut a promo saying he was still coming after Hangman Adam Page, as he still has his World Championship contract match that he won back at All In this summer. Page, however, went on to lose the title to Samoa Joe at last month’s Full Gear.
