Kazuchika Okada has won the AEW Continental Classic 2024 tournament after a hellacious match against Will Ospreay. The two men managed to get to the final of the tournament by beating Kyle Fletcher and Ricochet respectively, before meeting in the penultimate match of the Worlds End PPV event.
Ospreay came into the bout bleeding heavily from his first match Fletcher, whereas Okada was the fresher man. After a fantastic back and forth match, Okada managed to win the match and retain his Continental Championship in the process.
Braun Strowman shared a special moment with the sons of Brodie Lee and Bray Wyatt after this week’s episode of SmackDown went off air.
December 26 was the 4th anniversary of the former Luke Haprer’s untimely passing. WWE had invited Amanda Huber & their kids as well as Jojo Offerman & her son to the latest WWE TV event.
Throughout the night many WWE stars greeted both the families during their segments. This included Natalya and Cody Rhodes who gave a shoutout to Brodie Jr. as his friend during his promo at the end of SmackDown.
Strowman and Jey Uso came out after the show to save Sami Zayn from a beatdown from the New Bloodline. After taking out Solo and his cousins, the Monster Among Men invited both Brodie and Bray’s kids into the ring for a heart-touching moment:
Before this, the main event segment of SmackDown saw The American Nightmare confronting his former friend Kevin Owens after the latter brutally attacked him at the end of Saturday Night’s Main Event and stole the Winged Eagle title belt.
Kevin was demanding a rematch for the Undisputed title where a referee couldn’t screw him over. After an exchange of words, Rhodes proposed a ladder match which Nick Aldis made official for Royal Rumble.
As AEW Worlds End 2024 continues, speculation has been rampant about the potential debut of Shane McMahon in All Elite Wrestling. However, a recent report from Fightful on Patreon has shed new light on the situation, indicating that Shane McMahon is not backstage at the event tonight.
Shane McMahon’s AEW Connections
Rumors of Shane McMahon’s involvement with AEW have been circulating for months, fueled by a viral photo of McMahon meeting with AEW owner Tony Khan. This encounter sparked widespread discussion about the possibility of the former WWE executive making a shocking appearance in the rival promotion.
Adding to the intrigue, McMahon has been spotted with other AEW personalities, including the Young Bucks and Mercedes Mone, although these encounters were reportedly chance meetings at airports. Despite these connections, concrete evidence of McMahon’s imminent debut has remained elusive.
AEW Worlds End Speculation
Many fans and industry insiders had speculated that AEW Worlds End would be the perfect stage for Shane McMahon’s debut. The event, marking the final show of 2024, seemed like an opportune moment for such a high-profile addition to the roster.
Some predictions even suggested that McMahon could appear during the AEW World Championship match, potentially aligning himself with Jon Moxley in a shocking twist. However, the latest report casts doubt on these scenarios.
A top AEW faction has reformed at the Worlds End PPV event tonight from Orlando, Florida. Following the match between MJF and Adam Cole, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong and The Kingdom all joined Cole in the ring.
O’Reilly has had issues with Cole for the past few months, with the two former Undisputed Era stablemates being at odds with how to deal with Maxwell and his attack on Roderick Strong. Well, it now appears as if they’ve put that behind them and will be aligned going forward, with O’Reilly even doing his trademark air guitar from his NXT days.
Post-match chaos sees Kyle O'Reilly coming to Adam Cole’s rescue!
All five men were in the ring together, but it remains to be seen whether or not The Kingdom will stay with the ‘OG’ group or even if Bobby Fish makes an unlikely return.
What we also do not know is if this is finally the blow off to the Cole and MJF feud. At one point this feud was white hot, but injuries and inconsistent booking meant it lost a ton of lustre and has seemingly now whimpered out.
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is set to host its highly anticipated Worlds End 2024 pay-per-view event on December 28, 2024, at the Addition Financial Arena in Orlando, Florida.
Following the event, fans can look forward to the post-show media scrum, where AEW President Tony Khan and various wrestlers will share insights and reactions from the night’s matches.
The AEW Worlds End Media Scrum video stream is embedded at the top of this article. You can watch it right here at SEScoops. Fans have several other options for live streaming:

Social Media Platforms: AEW often streams events on their official Facebook and Twitter accounts, making it accessible for fans across different platforms.
What to Expect from the Media Scrum
During the media scrum, viewers can anticipate:
Insights from Tony Khan: The AEW CEO usually discusses key highlights from the event, future plans, and answers pressing questions regarding the company’s direction.
Wrestler Appearances: Key performers from the event will likely participate, sharing their thoughts on matches and ongoing storylines.
Breaking News: Important announcements about future events or roster changes often occur during these scrums, making it a must-watch for dedicated fans.
AEW Women’s Champion Mariah May successfully retained her title at the Worlds End 2024 PPV event tonight after hitting a piledriver through a table to Thunder Rosa.
It was a brawl between May and Rosa in the Tijuana Street Fight, but the Storm Zero Piledriver through a table on the outside managed to get the job done for May, who goes into 2025 at the top of the pile when it comes to the Women’s division.
Mariah May hits Toni Storm’s Finisher at Worlds End
May and Toni Storm were feuding up to All In earlier this year before Storm disappeared and only recently showed her face again on AEW programming.
The short Piledriver from May to Rosa through the table was quite clearly a modified version of Storm’s finisher, so it looks like they’re going to continue teasing this storyline in the coming months before the expected rematch at All In Texas in 2025.
A “first-time-ever” Dream Match has been set up for the first AEW Collision on MAX/TNT simulcast on January 4th. Although…it’s worth noting that the quotation marks are doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
Toni Storm made her “AEW PPV debut” at Worlds End by defeating Leila Grey in the opening match of the Zero Hour pre-show. Later in the pre-show, Storm was being interviewed backstage by Lexy Nair when Deonna Purrazzo appeared and challenged Toni to a match on Collision.
AEW Collision Toni Storm vs Deonna Purrazzo
Purrazzo was playing along with the idea that Toni is a “rookie” and that this would be a first-time-ever match. Obviously that isn’t the case, but it looks like the Storm storyline will be continuing for at least another week as she navigates her way through the All Elite Women’s roster before getting her inevitable rematch with Mariah May.
After Toni Storm's victory at #AEWWorldsEnd Zero Hour, Deonna Purrazzo has the offer of a lifetime for the "newcomer"!
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is set to kick off 2025 with its highly anticipated pay-per-view event, AEW Revolution. Scheduled for Sunday, March 9, this flagship event will take place at the iconic Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California.
Marking its sixth annual installment, AEW Revolution has become synonymous with showcasing some of the most memorable matches in AEW history. Fans can expect the tradition to continue as the event promises another unforgettable night of top-tier professional wrestling action.
This Los Angeles debut adds to the excitement, with the Crypto.com Arena providing the perfect stage for AEW’s dynamic talent roster and thrilling storytelling. Stay tuned as AEW builds momentum toward what is sure to be a spectacular event.
Since its inception in 2020, AEW Revolution has been hosted in several cities across the United States. Here’s a chronological list of the cities that have hosted AEW Revolution:
Chicago, Illinois (2020): The inaugural AEW Revolution took place on February 29, 2020, at the Wintrust Arena.
Jacksonville, Florida (2021): While not explicitly mentioned in the search results, it’s important to note that most AEW events in 2021 were held at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Orlando, Florida (2022): The 2022 edition of Revolution was held on March 6 at the Addition Financial Arena.
San Francisco, California (2023): AEW Revolution took place on March 5, 2023, at the Chase Center.
Greensboro, North Carolina (2024): The most recent Revolution event was held at the Greensboro Coliseum.
AEW Worlds End 2024 is now underway from the Prudential Center, and there is a new report from Fightful that indicates a potential spoiler for the show. Former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana are reportedly in Orlando for the event, even though Strickland is not booked for a match at this time.
“Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana are in Orlando for the show, and are planned for the event, but aren’t scheduled for a match”
It is not currently known exactly what Swerve and Nana will be doing on the show, but it does look like they will be involved in some capacity.
Fans of AEW are buzzing after Tony Khan discussed the potential for a Women’s Continental Classic tournament. Speaking during a media call ahead of tonight’s Worlds EndPPV, Khan expressed interest in expanding the Continental Classic concept to include AEW’s women’s division, citing the talent and strength of the roster as key factors.
Tony Khan’s Vision for the Women’s Continental Classic
The Continental Classic, which debuted in 2023, has been a platform for high-stakes, round-robin competition. When asked about creating a women’s iteration of the tournament, Khan responded positively, acknowledging the growing momentum in AEW’s women’s division.
“I think the [women’s] division is very strong. This year, we’ve had some of the best matches in the history of AEW women’s wrestling. A Women’s Continental Classic could be very exciting if we keep everyone healthy.”
While acknowledging the challenges posed by injuries and the grueling nature of the tournament, Khan emphasized his enthusiasm for AEW’s current crop of female wrestlers and their recent performances.
Building Toward the Future
The prospect of a Women’s Continental Classic is a natural progression for AEW’s expanding focus on its women’s division. The tournament could provide a fresh platform for stars like Toni Storm, Hikaru Shida, and others to shine while enhancing rivalries and fan engagement week to week on Dynamite and Collision.
CM Punk is set to compete for the WWE World Heavyweight Title in a highly anticipated dream match against GUNTHER. The match is scheduled for the December 29th WWE house show at the Allstate Arena in Chicago.
Punk remains a major draw in the Chicago market, owing to his deep connection with the city. Notably, he captured the WWE Championship at the Allstate Arena during the iconic Money in the Bank pay-per-view in 2011.
In 2024, Punk’s return to prominence has been marked by memorable feuds with Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins. Meanwhile, GUNTHER has established himself as a dominant force in WWE this year as World Heavyweight Champion, with high-profile victories over stars like Damian Priest and Randy Orton, since winning the title at SummerSlam.
Initially, the December 29th main event was set to feature GUNTHER vs. Damian Priest. However, the lineup has since shifted to include Punk in what promises to be a marquee matchup.
Other highlights of the event include Sami Zayn challenging Bron Breakker for the Intercontinental Title. Seth Rollins, who has been facing Dominik Mysterio at recent house shows, is also expected to appear. Additionally, Rey Mysterio, Wyatt Sicks, Women’s World Champion Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez, and more are advertised for the show.
All Elite Wrestling (AEW) star Max Caster recently voiced his frustration with AEW’s decision to heavily edit his entrance rap during the recent episode of AEW Rampage.
The rapper and wrestler called the move disrespectful to both his artistry and hip-hop culture.
What Happened on AEW Rampage?
During the match where Anthony Bowens faced Chris Jericho, fans noticed that Caster’s trademark rap introduction was unusually brief. This raised eyebrows, leading to speculation that the segment had been altered. Caster later confirmed on social media that the rap had indeed been cut, describing the move as an affront to his craft.
In a fiery Instagram post, later shared on X (formerly Twitter), Caster revealed the full lyrics of the edited rap. The original lines contained witty jabs at Jericho and references to Luigi Mangione.
Caster did not hold back, accusing AEW of lacking respect for his creative contributions and the broader hip-hop culture. His lyrics, as posted online, carried his usual sharp humor and biting commentary, which has become a hallmark of The Acclaimed’s appeal.
He wrote: “Since they cut my rap again, here’s what I said. Whoever decided to chop it up is a huge p**y and has no respect for what I do and no respect for hip-hop.”*
AEW recently uploaded a video to X/Twitter showing how excited Toni Storm is for her “first” All Elite Wrestling PPV appearance tonight at Worlds End. Storm is technically not even going to be on the PPV as she is facing Leila Grey on the Zero Hour Pre-Show.
This is of course all part of her ongoing storyline where she either appears to have amnesia or is playing mindgames with Mariah May. Storm has been indicating that she is completely unaware of her previous exploits in AEW, constantly saying that she is a “rookie” in the promotion and has to earn her way up to the upper end of the card (despite her being a big star and former Women’s Champion).
Toni Storm is excited for her match up TONIGHT on #AEWWorldsEnd Zero Hour!
Why is Toni Storm wrestling on the Worlds End Pre-Show?
Toni Storm isn’t wrestling in a high-profile match at Worlds End because she is a “rookie.” At least, that’s what she either believes in storyline or she is playing some mind games with her rival Mariah May, who defeated her back at All In London.
Having Storm now working her way back up the roster whilst seemingly having no idea what is going on has added a fantastic dynamic to the Mariah/Toni feud. There’s no indication as to when this will play off, but it’s going to be fun seeing it play off.
NJPW and AEW are set to run their first Wrestle Dynasty show on Sunday, January 5th, a day after the iconic Tokyo Dome Wrestle Kingdom show on January 4th. There are already some pretty big matches confirmed for that show, but it appears as though New Japan actually wanted more talent from All Elite that they couldn’t get a hold of.
According to a new report from Fightful Select, NJPW wanted to bring more talent in for the event, but due to Collision taking place on the Saturday night, the talent wouldn’t be able to appear at both:
“There were a number of talent that NJPW wanted for Wrestle Dynasty, but were already planned for Collision the same day.”
Fightful Select
We do not currently know how the talents are, but there will probably be some more indication when Collision takes place on January 4th when the show goes live.
Wrestle Dynasty Card

Kenny Omega vs. Gabe Kidd
Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Ricochet

A new report from Fightful Select has revealed that Bryan Danielson is backstage at AEW Worlds End 2024. This appearance is fueling speculation about his role in the event and the broader trajectory of his AEW career.
Fans last saw Bryan Danielson actively involved with AEW during the AEW All In Dallas ticketing event, where he played a role in promoting upcoming events.
Despite his ‘forced retirement’ earlier this year, Danielson remains committed to AEW, contributing in various capacities even when not actively wrestling.
What Could Bryan Danielson’s Role Be at Worlds End?
Given his immense influence in AEW both in and out of the ring, speculation abounds about Bryan Danielson’s potential involvement at Worlds End 2024.
While his physical condition might limit in-ring action, and he very likely will not be appearing on-camera, his creative input and on-screen charisma COULD set the stage for major storylines as AEW gears up for the new year.
We do not expect Danielson to appear on the show tonight, but it’s interesting that he is still at some of these bigger events backstage.
Kenny Omega’s anticipated return to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has been a hot topic among wrestling fans. With the Worlds End 2024 pay-per-view scheduled for tonight (December 28), speculation is rampant about whether Omega will make his comeback at this significant event.
Omega has been sidelined for most of 2024 due to a severe case of diverticulitis, which required extensive recovery and rehabilitation. His last appearance in the ring was over a year ago, and since then, he has been focused on healing and training for a return to action.
Recently, he made headlines by announcing a match against Gabe Kidd at New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s Wrestle Dynasty on January 5, 2025, signaling his readiness to compete again.
Hints of a Return at Worlds End
Reports indicate that Omega’s return to AEW might coincide with the Worlds End event. A vignette promoting his comeback aired during the December 18 episode of AEW Dynamite, hinting at his imminent return.
According to sources speaking to Fightful Select, there is an “active plan” for Omega to appear at Worlds End, although the specifics of his role remain unclear. This has led fans to wonder if he will participate in a match or perhaps kick off a new storyline.
The Importance of Omega’s Return
Kenny Omega is considered one of the top stars in AEW, and his return could significantly impact the promotion as it wraps up the year. His presence is expected to generate excitement and potentially shift the dynamics within various ongoing storylines. Notably, the event will also feature high-stakes matches, including a four-way contest for the AEW World Championship in the main event slot, making it an ideal time for Omega to re-enter the fray.
As fans eagerly await confirmation of Omega’s participation at Worlds End 2024, his return promises to be a pivotal moment for AEW, setting the stage for an exciting new chapter as the company heads into 2025.
Mariah May will be defending her AEW Women’s World Championship at the AEW Worlds End 2024 PPV event tonight. May will be putting her belt on the line against former champion Thunder Rosa in a Tijuana Street Fight, and both women have traded shots online ahead of the contest.
A Tijuana Street Fight is a type of match characterized by its chaotic and extreme nature. This match format often includes the use of weapons, no disqualifications, and a general lack of rules, allowing for a more brutal and unpredictable contest.
Key Features of a Tijuana Street Fight
No Disqualifications: Wrestlers can use weapons and engage in any form of combat without the risk of disqualification.
Weapons Allowed: Common items used in these matches may include chairs, tables, and other objects that can enhance the physicality of the fight.
Brawling Style: The match typically emphasizes brawling over technical wrestling, leading to a more intense atmosphere.
Cultural Reference: The name “Tijuana” suggests a connection to the vibrant and sometimes chaotic wrestling culture found in Tijuana, Mexico, known for its Lucha Libre style.
Check out the back and forth between both women below:

AEW Worlds End 2024 Potential Debuts: The Latest RumorsAs AEW prepares for its final pay-per-view event of the year, Worlds End 2024, set to take place on December 28th in Orlando, Florida, the wrestling world is abuzz with speculation about potential debuts and surprises.
With the event marking the end of AEW’s current streaming partnership before moving to MAX in January 2025, fans are expecting some major shakeups and new faces to appear.
Several former WWE talents are rumored to be making their AEW debuts at Worlds End 2024. Among the most talked-about potential arrivals are:
Raj Deshi (formerly Jinder Mahal), Veer Mahan, and Sanga: This trio of former WWE superstars could potentially form a new faction in AEW, bringing a fresh dynamic to the men’s roster.
Baron Corbin: Released by WWE in November 2024, Corbin’s strengths and potential make him a strong candidate for an AEW debut.
Shane McMahon: Long-standing rumors suggest Shane McMahon might finally make his AEW debut, potentially joining Jon Moxley’s Death Riders faction or taking on a creative role within the company.
Potential Impact on AEW World Championship Picture
The AEW World Championship scene could see some significant changes at Worlds End 2024. Jon Moxley is set to defend his title in a four-way match against Orange Cassidy, Hangman Adam Page, and Jay White.
However, there are whispers of a possible debut that could threaten Moxley and the Death Riders’ dominance.
Surprise Female Talent Debut
While much of the focus has been on male wrestlers, there’s also speculation about potential female talent debuts.
One intriguing rumor involves former WWE alum Samantha Irvin possibly making a shocking appearance at Worlds End.
All Elite Wrestling’s weekly TV series, AEW Rampage, aired its final episode on Friday, December 27, 2024, marking the end of an era for the promotion. The show, which debuted on August 13, 2021, ran for over three years and produced a total of 177 episodes. Its conclusion comes as part of AEW’s new media rights deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, which aims to reorganize the company’s programming lineup.
Rampage began as a one-hour supplementary show to Dynamite, showcasing AEW’s roster and delivering memorable moments in its late-night Friday slot. While it primarily highlighted younger talent and midcard feuds, it occasionally became the stage for monumental events.
The debut episode set the tone for its legacy with Christian Cage defeating Kenny Omega to win the Impact World Championship. Another milestone followed on August 20, 2021, when CM Punk made his long-awaited return to wrestling after a seven-year hiatus, delivering an unforgettable moment that reverberated through the industry.
Unforgettable Matches
Throughout its run, Rampage delivered numerous standout matches that earned acclaim from fans and critics alike. Some of the best include:
Kenny Omega vs. Christian Cage (August 13, 2021) – Christian Cage captures the Impact World title from Omega in a classic AEW battle.
Andrade El Idolo vs. PAC (September 10, 2021) – A high-octane bout that showcased elite athleticism and storytelling.
The Young Bucks vs. Lucha Brothers (March 18, 2022) – A tag team spectacle full of breathtaking spots.
Jon Moxley vs. Darby Allin (June 16, 2023) – A hard-hitting clash that highlighted the intense chemistry between the two fan favorites.
While Rampage never matched the ratings of its predecessor, Dynamite, it succeeded in carving out a niche as a platform for bold matchups and historic moments.
The Future of AEW Programming
With Rampage now retired, AEW is reportedly focusing on bolstering its flagship programming and expanding into new formats under its partnership with WBD.
Starting in January 2025 here’s what AEW fans can expect:
AEW Dynamite: Will air live on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on both TBS and Max.
AEW Collision: Will air live on Saturdays at 8 p.m. ET on both TNT and Max.
AEW PPV Events will be distributed on Max later in 2025, with pricing and additional details to be announced in the coming months
Over 700 hours of AEW content, including past episodes and pay-per-views, will be available on Max, with regular updates throughout 2025.
AEW Rampage was the setting for classic matches and iconic moments throughout its run. Its legacy lives on as a chapter of AEW’s early years and evolution.
Oba Femi says he appreciated his experience working with Otis.
The longest reigning NXT North American Champion of all time recently spoke to Adam Barnard of The Takedown. He discussed things such as NXT’s partnership with TNA, his feud with Tony D’Angelo and more.
He was also asked about working with Otis during his championship reign and what it was like being on the receiving end of the Caterpillar. Responding to it, Oba Femi claimed that the Caterpillar is a memory his brain had buried deep into his mind:
“That is a lot of human being. You don’t know what you just did there. You just unlocked a hidden something my brain tried to bury and you just excavated it from the ground. That’s a lot of man coming down on you. Pause. But yeah, he’s a big man.
I enjoyed working with Otis. He’s a very entertaining fellow. I like how he makes the smallest of things mean the most. He’s a star definitely so. [He] definitely pushed me into my limits as well. Just moving him around was difficult and when something is difficult, I embrace the challenge. So I appreciated my experience working with Otis.”
Unfortunately for the 26-year-old, the match for New Year’s Evil on January 7 has been converted into a triple threat after Eddy Thorpe also laid claim on a title rematch following a chaotic end to his last fight with Williams.

Nick Gage says he is not sure where his relationship with GCW stands.
The Hardcore star was once the center figure of the indie promotion. Till date, he remains the only person the company ever signed to a contract. Gage however has not made an appearance for the New Jersey based promotion in a while.
He last wrestled for the promotion at the August 2, 2024, GCW Now And Forever show. Nick Gage was then pulled from the announced August 24 Homecoming event and he has not been booked for any appearances ever since. In the meantime, the 44-year-old confirmed that he checked himself in rehab but did not provide any further details.
Gage was recently interviewed by MuscleManMalcolm while he was visiting an Arrival Wrestling show. When asked about his relationship with the company that he once had such close ties with, Nick noted that he still exchanges texts with the promoter Brett Lauderdale but that’s the extent of it:
“My current relationship with GCW is…I don’t know man. You know, I really don’t know Malcolm. I text, I get answers. We hit a little bit back and forth but that’s it. Am I sorting out to please and begging and all? None of that and vice versa from him. None of that coming my way.
I feel like in time, it will heal wounds and we’ll get back on track. The way we’re supposed to be, the right way. I just think it will happen organically and natural, to where the time would be right and me and him would be fucking cool as we should be and probably have a sit down to dinner and discuss what it is. Who knows when it’s going to happen.”
Nick Gage also praised Lauderdale for helping him out during his jail term and revealed that Brett made the mugshot shirt for him during the time so he could earn money while serving his sentence.
Gage had taken a break from wrestling in August and he recently returned to the ring for a BCW event in the 2300 Arena. The December 14 show saw him fighting Drake Younger for the Philadelphia Street Fight Title.
