Saturday, live from Chicago, is the AEW end-of-the-year tradition, AEW World’s End. It’s available on PPV, HBO Max, and Prime Video. Are you ready for a few predictions? Let’s roll.

Continental Classic Semifinal: Kazuchika Okada vs. Konosuke Takeshita.

Okada is the defending Continental Champion, so if he loses this match, the belt willbe stripped. At least I think that’s the stipulation. It doesn’t matter. There will be a new Continental Champion at the end of the night.
Okada won’t be hurt by a loss here. I’ve going with Takeshita for the win.

Winner: Konosuke Takeshita.

Continental Classic Semifinal: Kyle Fletcher vs. Jon Moxley.

Moxley is so same-old, same-old, these days, I think we need to go with Fletcher for this one. Fletcher is the rising star and it makes more sense for him to get the win here.

Winner: Kyle Fletcher.

AEW Women’s World Championship: Kris Statlander (c) vs. Jamie Hayter.

Kris just won the title last month. It’s too soon to lose.

Winner and STILL AEW Women’s Champion: Kris Statlander.

Chicago Street Fight for AEW Men’s World Tag Team Championships: FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) (c) vs. Bang Bang Gang (Juice Robinson & Austin Gunn).

A street fight means that anything goes, and to expect outside interference. Where is Colton Gunn? Where is Jay White? I know that both are out injured, but it’s time for one or the other to make a return, right? And what better time than this match? Look for Colton to return and help his team win the belts.

Winners and NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions: The Bang Bang Gang.

Darby Allin vs. Gabe Kidd.

The plunder and flames match of the night, where every bit of common sense is left in the dressing room. I truly doubt that Darby is 100%, solet’s go with Kidd for this one.

Winner: Gabe Kidd.

AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship: Babes of Wrath (Willow Nightingale & Harley Cameron) (c) vs. Mercedes Moné and Athena.

Mercedes has lost two titles over the past few weeks, so she needs to stock back up. But, will it be here with the tag belts, or will she make a U-turn and go after Athena? I like that idea better than getting new champs.

Winners and STILL AEW Women’s Tag Team Champions: The Babes of Wrath.

Continental Classic Final: Kazuchika Okada/Konosuke Takeshita winner vs. Kyle Fletcher/Jon Moxley winner.

Based on my earlier predictions, this should be Takeshita versus Fletcher. And if that’s the case, look for Fletcher to be the winner of the Continental Classic 2025.

Winner: Kyle Fletcher.

AEW Men’s World Championship: Samoa Joe (c) vs. “Hangman” Adam Page vs. Swerve Strickland vs. MJF.

All signs point to MJF winning here, but I’m not reading the signs. I think we’ll see Joe retain, and a good feud for a few months before we get the title switch.

Winner and STILL AEW World Champion: Samoa Joe.

And there you go. No matches have been announced as of yet for the kick-off show, but it’s still early, only 9:00 pm on the night before, so I’m sure plenty of matches will be added. We’ll see. But those are my predictions for now. What do you think? Let me know. And with that, I’m out of here. Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you at the matches.
