All Elite Wrestling (AEW) rings in the new year with the highly anticipated AEW Dynamite New Year’s Smash event, scheduled for December 31, 2025. The show will begin at 8 p.m. ET and will air live on TBS, with streaming available on HBO Max. This event comes on the heels of the AEW Worlds End pay-per-view, where MJF captured the AEW World Championship.

A New AEW Champion and Major Matches Announced

At Worlds End, MJF became the new AEW World Champion by defeating Samoa Joe, “Hangman” Adam Page, and Swerve Strickland in a thrilling four-way match. The wrestling community eagerly awaits MJF’s first comments since regaining the title in Omaha.

TBS Championship Match: Mercedes Moné vs. Willow Nightingale

The TBS Championship will be defended in a match featuring the reigning champion, Mercedes Moné, against Willow Nightingale, who recently pinned Moné at Worlds End. This match marks a significant opportunity for Nightingale to reclaim the title she lost to Moné at last year’s Double or Nothing event.

Continental Championship Eliminator: Jon Moxley vs. Josh Alexander

In another highly anticipated match, Jon Moxley, the new AEW Continental Champion, will take on Josh Alexander. Moxley earned his title at Worlds End after defeating Kyle Fletcher and Kazuchika Okada back-to-back. In this eliminator match, if Alexander can either win or endure the time limit, he will earn a future shot at the Continental Championship.

AEW National Championship Match: Ricochet vs. Jack Perry

The AEW National Championship will also be contested, as champion Ricochet faces Jack Perry. Perry comes into the match with momentum after recently pinning Ricochet during an 8-man tag match at Worlds End. The stakes are high as both competitors vie for the title.
