Lights Out Match: Adam Page & Swerve Strickland vs. The Opps
The uneasy alliance between "Hangman" Adam Page and Swerve Strickland faces its ultimate test tonight. Once bitter rivals whose feud involved arson, home invasions, and Texas Death Matches, they are now united by a common enemy: The Opps (Powerhouse Hobbs & HOOK).
This is not a sanctioned wrestling match. The "Lights Out" stipulation implies that AEW cannot be held liable for the violence that ensues. While Page and Swerve banded together out of necessity to combat Samoa Joe's forces, tonight's no-rules environment plays to the violent strengths of both teams.
- The Stakes: Survival. A loss here likely shatters the Page/Swerve alliance before it can truly begin.
- Prediction: Expect weapons, blood, and absolute chaos. If Page and Swerve can avoid fighting each other, their combined violence should overcome the raw power of Hobbs.
Continental Title Eliminator: Jon Moxley (c) vs. Shelton Benjamin
Jon Moxley enters 2026 reborn as the AEW Continental Champion following his tournament run at Worlds End. Tonight, he faces Shelton Benjamin of the Hurt Syndicate in a Championship Eliminator match.
While Moxley is the brawler, Benjamin brings world-class amateur wrestling pedigree and raw power. The Hurt Syndicate (MVP and Bobby Lashley) will likely be lurking at ringside, potentially setting up a collision between the Death Riders and MVP's faction.
- The Hook: If Benjamin wins, he earns a future title shot.
- Key Stat: Moxley is 14-0 in 2025/26 when competing in opening matches.
ROH World Championship: Bandido (c) vs. Sammy Guevara
With a title defense against AEW World Champion MJF looming at Maximum Carnage next week, Bandido cannot afford to look past Sammy Guevara. The "Spanish God" is an AEW original who knows MJF better than almost anyone and is looking to spoil Bandido's momentum.
Expect a high-flying "Lucha Libre" style showcase. Guevara has been rebuilding his momentum since his return, and a win over the ROH Champion would catapult him back into the title picture.
- The Narrative: Is Bandido's focus split between Guevara tonight and MJF next week?
TBS Champion Celebration & Other Action
- Willow's Moment: New TBS Champion Willow Nightingale will address the fans following her historic victory over Mercedes Moné at New Year's Smash. This win ended the longest TBS title reign in history (585 days). Nightingale is now the first two-time champion, but with Mercedes likely invoking a rematch clause, the celebration may be short-lived.
- Toni Storm vs. Marina Shafir: A grudge match stemming from Blood & Guts. Storm looks to settle the score after Shafir targeted her team during the cage match.
- Jack Perry & JetSpeed vs. The Demand: "The Scapegoat" Jack Perry teams with the high-flying duo of Kevin Knight and Mike Bailey to take on the powerhouse trio of Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, and Toa Liona.
