With AEW speeding towards the last pay-per-view of the calendar year, Worlds End on Saturday, December 27 — there have already been changes to the card.
From a top name returning to potential swerves yet to be revealed, there will definitely be some changes ahead of showtime at the end of the month.
Here are 5 changes that could still be coming to AEW Worlds End 2025.
5. AEW World Championship Four-Way
While the feuds leading up to the upcoming AEW Worlds End seemed to be headed in one direction, by the time AEW Dynamite wrapped on December 17 — there was an intriguing development.
During a contract signing segment on Dynamite, MJF returned to reveal his intention to use his Casino Gauntlet winning contract to add himself to the upcoming bout.
The AEW World Heavyweight Championship is now set to be defended by Samoa Joe against Hangman Adam Page, Swerve Strickland and MJF at the Worlds End event.
Opening up a brand new set of possibilities for storylines moving forward to drive AEW in 2026 — there could be moves at the top of the AEW card soon.

4. Women’s Tag Team Championship On The Line
The inaugural winners of the AEW Women’s Tag Team Championship, The babes of Wrath (Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron) are set to put their titles on the line at AEW Worlds End.
Mercedes Moné and Athena would end up challenging the champs after both teams took part in an eight-woman match on Dynamite.
Now that the first title defense for the Babes of Wrath has been confirmed, it will be interesting to see if the titles change hands straight away.
With Mercedes Moné and Athena being formidable foes, there could be a title change on the horizon for Worlds End.

3. The Opps Defend Trios Championship Without Samoa Joe
A potential title bout that could go down on the Zero Hour of the broadcast set for Saturday, December 27 is an AEW World Trios Title match.
While Samoa Joe reigns as the AEW World Champion, The Opps also hold the AEW Trios Championship.
With the trio of Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Katsuyori Shibata holding the titles, the addition of HOOK could see them defending the trios titles but without the champ having to do double duty on the night.
Potentially a loss for The Opps early in the show could spell an ominous warning about what could be ahead for Joe in the main event.

2. Kazuchika Okada Fails To Make Continental Classic Finals
While Kazuchika Okada is the current AEW Continental Champion, it isn’t a mathematical certainty that he will make the finals of this year’s tournament.
With Worlds End set to host the Blue League winner vs. Gold League runner-up and Gold League winner vs. Blue League runner-up in the semi-finals at Worlds End as well as the two winners going on to face off in the finals later that night — there are a lot of moveable pieces left before the end.
However with others already out to a strong showing in the tournament, it could be possible that Okada ends up missing the final entirely.
With the Continental Championship on the line in a bout where he isn’t defending, there could be an interesting first-time story to be told through the annual AEW tournament.

1. AEW Women’s Championship Match Becomes Triple Threat
However with plenty of other top names in the women’s division still without a bout at AEW Worlds End, perhaps we could see the title match add a third.
Since Kris Statlander has recently teamed with Jamie Hayter against the Sisters of Sin (Julia Hart and Skye Blue) there could be a reason to see a four-way come to the AEW Women’s Championship as well.
If not Hart & Blue, certainly others like Megan Bayne, Marina Shafir or even a returning Britt Baker or Hikaru Shida could be make for intriguing surprise additions to the match.
With the men’s championship set to to see a four-way match for the title, perhaps in the end the AEW Women’s Championship bout is still set to expand ahead of Worlds End.
