All Elite Wrestling is set to host the World’s End 2025 pay-per-view event on December 27th in Chicago, Illinois. Being the final major show of the year, it promises to feature several significant moments. Many key wrestlers, including those returning from extended absences or injuries, could make their comeback, potentially reshaping the future direction of the promotion. Here are eight possible returns to watch for at AEW World’s End 2025.
8. MJF
Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF), who lost to Mark Brisco in a Tables-n-Taxes match at AEW All Out 2025, has been off-screen due to filming commitments. As a former AEW World Champion and recent winner of the Texas Men’s Casino Gauntlet at AEW All In, he is poised for a major comeback. With the Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royal scheduled for AEW Dynamite’s Holiday Bash on December 17th, MJF might return earlier, but he could also be saving his reappearance for the World’s End event, where he may cash in his contract and transform the tentpole three-way main event into a four-way clash.
Fan Take: MJF’s potential return adds a huge layer of excitement and unpredictability heading into World’s End 2025. His reappearance could spark fresh storylines and elevate AEW’s main event scene, making this one of the most anticipated moments for wrestling fans this year.
