Tony Khan Makes AEW Backstage Change

:aew:

AEW President Tony Khan officially announced today that Worlds End will take place at the NOW Arena in Chicago on December 27, 2025, providing fans with another major pay-per-view destination for the holiday season.

The announcement completes nearly the entire AEW pay-per-view schedule for 2025, with only Full Gear in November remaining without a confirmed venue. The complete lineup now includes:

• August 24 – Forbidden Door – London, England
• September 20 – All Out – Toronto, Canada
• October 18 – WrestleDream – St. Louis, Missouri
• December 27 – Worlds End – Chicago, Illinois

Chicago represents a significant market for AEW, with the NOW Arena providing an intimate venue for the year-end spectacular. The December 27 date positions Worlds End as a major holiday week attraction for wrestling fans.

With this announcement, AEW continues building momentum for its 2025 pay-per-view schedule, featuring a mix of international and domestic venues. Full Gear remains the only event without a confirmed location, leaving fans to speculate about November’s destination.
