AEW Worlds End PPV Results (12/27/2025): Live Match Updates and Highlights

AEW Worlds End opens up with some pyro shooting off the stage and we get a video package centered around the rising tensions between Konosuke Takeshita and Kazuchika Okada.

Konosuke Takeshita then makes his way down to the ring for the first match of the PPV and Kazuchika Okada follows.

Continental Classic Semifinal Match: Don Callis Family’s AEW Unified Champion and AEW Continental Champion “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada vs. Don Callis Family’s IWGP World Heavyweight Champion “The Alpha” Konosuke Takeshita

The match starts off with both men staring each other down and we get a “holy s–t” and AEW chant from the crowd. Okada then extends a hand to Takeshita, but Takeshita slaps it in a slight show of sportsmanship despite their differences. Both men then lock up and Okada wrings the arm of Takeshita. Takeshita then reverses it, putting the pressure on Okada. The exchange then brings them to the ropes, which forces a break from the referee. Both men then oblige, coming back to the middle of the ring for another exchange. This then ends with Okada taking Takeshita to the mat for a toe hold. Takeshita then starts to fight back, leading to a side headlock from Okada. Takeshita then fights to his feet before being brought to the ropes by Okada, who obliges with a break before booting Takeshita in the gut.

Back in the middle we go as both men pick up the pace, with Takeshita narrowly dodging a Rainmaker lariat for a flying clothesline off the ropes to take Okada to the canvas. He then gets a headscissor on Okada while going after the arm, but Okada manages to break free to get to the outside. Takeshita then follows him, but gets sent to the barricade for his efforts before Okada catches him with a drop toe hold, sending Takeshita face first into a chair. He then follows it up with a suplex sending Takeshita to the floor and he sends him into the barricade before bringing the fight back into the ring. Okada then goes for a cover, but only gets a near fall before Takeshita gets back to his feet. Okada then mocks him, offering a free shot that Takeshita takes before Okada drops him to the mat with a DDT.

Okada then goes for a cover, but he only gets a two count. With both men back up, they start going at it once more before Takeshita drops Okada with a brainbuster. He then brings Okada back up to send to the ropes and despite Okada ducking a clothesline he ends up taking a hurricanrana that sends him to the outside. Takeshita then gets the drop on him with a dive. He then quickly brings Okada back into the ring to stop the referee’s count.

Takeshita then charges from the corner, taking Okada out with a boot followed by an exploder suplex sending him to the canvas. He then goes to work on the neck of Okada, but Okada goes after Takeshita’s face to force a break. Okada is in the corner and he hits Takeshita with a backpack neckbreaker before setting up for an elbow drop from the top rope. He then flips off both the crowd and Takeshita. Takeshita then gets to his feet to hit some hard strikes on Okada. Both men then go back and forth until Okada gets rocked, dropping to a knee. Okada is back up and both men go back and forth once again until Okada sends Takeshita to his knees with an uppercut. He then looks for a tombstone piledriver, but Takeshita counters and hits a modified tombstone followed by a wheelbarrow suplex. He then brings Okada to his feet, but gets caught by the Rainmaker only to counter the lariat into a Blue Thunder Bomb, which gets him a near fall.

Takeshita then gets to the corner for a Power Drive Knee, but Okada blocks it before hitting a Rainmaker lariat that Takeshita just absorbs, seemingly unfazed as he doesn’t drop down. He then hits a couple of forearms but takes a Rainmaker lariat dropping him to the mat. Okada then holds on to the wrist for a second one, bringing Takeshita to this feet but Takeshita counters with a headbutt. Okada then manages to fight back with a German suplex, looking for another Rainmaker lariat before Takeshita counters for a roll up and a two count.

Okada is back on his feet and answers with a pair of dropkicks, but a Rainmaker lariat gets blocked again as Takeshita hits the Power Drive Knee for the cover and Okada kicks out. Takeshita is back up, but gets knocked away as Okada heads to the corner where he pulls out a screwdriver from underneath the turnbuckle pad. Takeshita then hits him with a knee to the back, looking for a Rainmaker lariat of his own but Okada ducks it, hiding the screwdriver just out of the referee’s sight when he hits a Rainmaker lariat on Takeshita for the win.

The winner of the Continental Classic Semifinal Match, Don Callis Family’s AEW Unified Champion and AEW Continental Champion “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada!

After the match, Okada celebrates his win with Callis up on the ramp.

We then get a video package hyping up the other semifinal match as Jon Moxley faces Kyle Fletcher to see who faces Okada in the finals of the Continental Classic.

Kyle Fletcher then makes his way down to the ring for the next match of the PPV and Jon Moxley follows.

Continental Classic Semifinal Match: Don Callis Family’s “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher vs. The Death Riders’ Jon Moxley

The match starts off with both men taking a moment before locking up. Fletcher then forces Moxley to the corner leading to a call for a break. Another lock up then ends with Fletcher going after the hand of Moxley, who breaks free to hit a hard chop. Fletcher then leaves the ring for a quick breather, returning just to break the referee’s count before leaving once again.
