All Elite Wrestling is set to host its AEW World’s End 2025 pay-per-view event on Saturday, December 27th. This event will feature the championship matches and the finals of the Continental Classic tournament, promising plenty of unexpected moments that could surprise fans. With potential title changes and new storyline developments, the event in Chicago is shaping up to be thrilling.
One major shock could be Kazuchika Okada failing to reach the Continental Classic finals. Okada, who won the Continental Classic tournament and defended the AEW Continental Championship against Will Ospreay at AEW World’s End 2024, was widely expected to make it back to the finals. However, he may not make it this year after losing to fellow Don Callis Family member Kyle Fletcher in his opening Gold League match. Other strong contenders for the tournament such as Fletcher, Konosuke Takeshita, Jon Moxley, and Mike Bailey might advance, potentially leaving Okada out of the semifinals and finals entirely.
Fan Take: This development could signal a significant shift in AEW’s competitive landscape, keeping fans on the edge of their seats. Okada missing the finals would open doors for fresh rivalries and storylines, injecting new energy into the sport and elevating other rising stars.
