AEW Worlds End is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Established in 2023, it is held annually in late December on the weekend of or before New Year's Eve. The event also hosts the finals of the annual Continental Classic (C2) tournament; the inaugural C2 coincided with the inaugural Worlds End.

History

On October 25, 2023, it was reported that the American professional wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) had filed to trademark the name "Worlds End".[1] Later that same night on Dynamite, AEW announced that it would hold a pay-per-view (PPV) event titled Worlds End on Saturday, December 30, 2023, at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York on Long Island, marking the company's first PPV to be held in the state of New York. The event hosted the finals of the inaugural Continental Classic tournament.[2] On April 11, 2024, AEW announced that the second Worlds End event would take place on December 28, 2024, at the Addition Financial Arena near Orlando, Florida, thus establishing Worlds End as an annual PPV and host for the annual Continental Classic.[3][4]

Continental Classic

Main article: Continental Classic

The Continental Classic (C2) is an annual tournament that starts after AEW's Full Gear PPV event in mid-November and ends at Worlds End at the end of December. The tournament takes place in a round-robin format, with two blocks of six wrestlers – titled the Blue and Gold Leagues – wrestling each other across AEW's television shows, Dynamite, Rampage, and Collision. The tournament prize is the AEW Continental Championship. The incumbent Continental Champion automatically qualifies for the tournament,[a] with the other 11 participants announced shortly prior to the beginning of the tournament. Matches are held under "Continental Rules": each match has a 20-minute time limit, no other wrestlers are allowed at ringside, and outside interference is strictly prohibited under threat of penalties.[5]
