The 2024 Worlds End is an upcoming professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). It will be the second annual Worlds End and will take place on December 28, 2024, at the Addition Financial Arena in Orlando, Florida.[a] The event will host the final of the 2024 Continental Classic tournament.

Production

Background

The event will be held at the Addition Financial Arena in Orlando, Florida.

In December 2023, the American professional wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) held a pay-per-view (PPV) event titled Worlds End, which hosted the finals of the first-ever Continental Classic tournament.[1] On April 11, 2024, AEW announced that the second Worlds End event would take place on December 28, 2024, at the Addition Financial Arena in Orlando, Florida, located on the campus of the University of Central Florida, thus establishing Worlds End as an annual PPV.[2][3]

Storylines

Worlds End will feature professional wrestling matches that are the result of pre-existing feuds and storylines, with results being predetermined by AEW's writers. Storylines are produced on AEW's weekly television programs, Dynamite, Collision, and Rampage.[4]

Due to being the reigning AEW Continental Champion, Kazuchika Okada was the first to be entered into the Continental Classic.[5] On November 24, the rest of the 12-man field was announced, with the wrestlers evenly divided between the Blue League and Gold League. The winners of each league advance to the final at Worlds End with the winner becoming Continental Champion.

Throughout 2023, Adam Cole befriended reigning AEW World Champion MJF, becoming a team called Better Than You Bay Bay, and they eventually won the ROH World Tag Team Championship. Also during this time, MJF became the target of an individual wearing a devil's mask, the same mask MJF had wore prior to becoming AEW World Champion as he had called himself the devil. Cole, however, got injured, leaving MJF to defend the ROH Tag Titles on his own, which he eventually lost to a team referred to as The Devil's Masked Men. At the 2023 Worlds End, MJF lost the AEW World Championship and after the match, he was attacked by The Devil's Masked Men with Cole revealed to be the "devil" that had been targeting MJF, with The Devil's Masked Men revealed to be Cole's Undisputed Kingdom stablemates, Matt Taven and Mike Bennett, turning Cole heel. MJF then took time off due to an injury, but returned a few months later as a heel again. After being cleared himself, a now face Cole eventually reignited his feud with MJF and tried to earn a match against him at Full Gear, but came up short. The AEW Dynamite Dozen Battle Royale then occurred during the December 4 episode of Dynamite. Cole entered and he and Kyle O'Reilly co-won the match. It was then announced that they would face each other at Dynamite: Winter Is Coming the following week with the winner facing MJF for the AEW Dynamite Diamond Ring at Worlds End—MJF being a five-time ring holder, having won it every year since it was established in 2019.[6] Cole defeated O'Reilly to finally face MJF at Worlds End.[7]
