Saturday, December 28 closed the book on AEW’s final pay-per-view entry for 2025 with Worlds End.

There is plenty more…

2025 was another interesting year for the world of professional wrestling, with no shortage of high quality shows produced amidst tougher economic times for consumers. WWE may encapsulate this best as business hit record highs on the back of John Cena’s retirement tour, despite growing criticism for WWE’s creative direction and warning signs of inflated…

So let’s get this out of the way off the top – Final Battle was another strong outing for Ring of Honor’s pay-per-view-level shows under Tony Khan’s ownership.

AEW and WWE both already have massive rosters, and with the amount of talent to choose from globally, someone could easily build a third nationally televised company and there still be a surplus of talent to pick from.

Shape-shifting dragons, skeleton ninjas, masked bikers, and perhaps a living incarnation of Death.

It seems as though every few years, one promotion in particular emerges to become the hotbed of indie wrestling during that period of time. This list includes early Ring of Honor, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, and Game-Changer Wrestling, among others. In the year of 2025, though, one indie promotion has arguably stood heads and shoulders over…

AEW took to pay-per-view once again on Oct. 18, 2025, for WrestleDream live from the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, Missouri. Coming less than a month after All Out, some fans wouldn’t be wrong for feeling WrestleDream was thrown together in fairly short order. That being said, it is still AEW on pay-per-view and no…

In the roughly six years of All Elite Wrestling’s existence, the wrestling industry has been through a lot as a whole. AEW was no exception with plenty of highs and lows in the company’s young history, but one thing remained constant – great in-ring action.
