UPDATE: AEW Dynamite just delivered a thrilling three-hour special on December 17, 2025, featuring major surprises, intense matches, and the shocking return of MJF. The action-packed episode saw Jon Moxley eliminate Roderick Strong from the Continental Classic, while MJF made an unexpected move that has set the stage for the upcoming AEW Worlds End pay-per-view.
The night kicked off with a must-see match between Moxley and Strong. Both competitors showcased their technical prowess, but Moxley’s victory not only secured him three crucial points in the tournament but also marked Strong’s exit from contention. Moxley’s win underscores his determination to reclaim his status as a top contender, especially after struggling in previous matches.
In a highly anticipated showdown, the reunion of The Elite took center stage in a $1,000,000 match against The Don Callis Family. Fans erupted as Kenny Omega, despite his recent injury, proved he still has the skills to shine. The Elite’s victory hinted at brewing rivalries, especially with Okada and Takeshita continuing to build tension.
However, the most jaw-dropping moment came when MJF crashed the ring during a contract signing involving Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland, and Hangman Page. MJF officially cashed in his title shot, reminding everyone that he seeks revenge against Joe, who defeated him for the championship two years ago at Worlds End. This shocking move has raised the stakes dramatically for the upcoming championship match, leaving fans eagerly speculating about the potential outcomes.
Another highlight of the evening was the All-Star Women’s Tag Match, featuring prominent names like Mercedes Mone, Athena, and the AEW Women’s Tag Team Champions Harley Cameron and Willow Nightingale. This match served as a critical indicator for future championship challenges, with Mone and Athena’s escalating tensions hinting at deeper storylines to come.
Additionally, PAC faced off against Kyle Fletcher, further complicating the standings in the Blue League as PAC secured a win, bringing his points total to six. Fletcher, once a rising star, finds himself needing to regroup after consecutive losses.
The night closed with a dramatic Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royal, where Bandido and Ricochet emerged as victors, setting the stage for a one-on-one clash next week. With MJF having dominated previous Diamond Ring competitions, fans are abuzz with anticipation about his potential strategies moving forward.
As AEW Collision approaches, fans can look forward to more intense action, including Orange Cassidy‘s match against Mascara Dorada and FTR‘s Tag Team Championship defense against Juice Robinson and Austin Gunn.
This dynamic episode of AEW Dynamite has left fans electrified, eager for what’s next in this unfolding saga. Stay tuned for more updates as AEW continues to build momentum toward Worlds End!
