29 December 2025 Wrestling Events

Historic Victory Marks Major Milestone

Professional wrestling witnessed a significant moment on December 27, 2025, as Jon Moxley walked out of AEW Worlds End as the winner of the Continental Classic and the AEW Continental Championship. The pay-per-view event, held at the Now Arena in Chicago, Illinois in front of a sold-out crowd, delivered one of the year’s most compelling wrestling performances.

The Road to Victory

Moxley’s path to championship glory required competing in two gruelling matches in a single night. Kyle Fletcher battled Jon Moxley in a late Match of the Year contender, with the match perfectly blending in-ring skills with storytelling, ranging from Moxley’s leg being worked over to the veteran pushing a rising star to his limits. Despite sustaining a significant injury during the bout, Moxley lost a tooth whilst defeating Fletcher in the semifinals.

Continental Classic Finals

The finals pitted Moxley against the winner of the 2024 tournament and the reigning defending AEW Continental Champion, “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada. In a dramatic conclusion, Moxley hit Okada with the Curb Stomp and the Paradigm Shift to clinch the win and become the new AEW Continental Champion. This victory ended Okada’s 647-day reign as Continental Champion and was Moxley’s first ever C2 tournament win.

Significance and Future Implications

Following his victory, Moxley cut a promo where he said that the AEW Continental Championship doesn’t belong to him, it belongs to everyone in the Continental Classic, his teammates, the fans, and everyone who gives everything they have to make AEW the best wrestling promotion in the world. Moxley has fully gotten over as a babyface again, without ever having one specific turn moment, marking a remarkable shift in fan perception. This triumph at AEW Worlds End 2025 cements Moxley’s legacy as one of professional wrestling’s most resilient competitors and sets the stage for an intriguing 2026 championship landscape.
