Professional wrestling collides with festive cheer as All Elite Wrestling presents a massive 3-hour Holiday Bash combining both Dynamite and Collision into one spectacular evening.
The action broadcasts live from Co-op Live in Manchester, England, starting at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT on TBS and streaming simultaneously on HBO Max.
With championship contracts getting signed, a million dollars up for grabs, and the Continental Classic tournament reaching its critical stretch, December 17, 2025 promises unforgettable moments.
Here’s everything fans need to know about tonight’s stacked card.
Million-Dollar Showdown Tops Massive Card
The Elite—Kenny Omega alongside Matt and Nick Jackson—face their biggest challenge yet against the Don Callis Family in a winner-takes-all trios match worth $1 million (€750,000 in local currency).
This match stems from Don Callis’s failed recruitment of the Young Bucks. After the Bucks and Josh Alexander defeated Omega and Jurassic Express at Full Gear to claim the million-dollar prize, Matt and Nick walked away from the cash to reunite with their former partner instead.
Callis responded by challenging them to find a partner and face his stable of champions: AEW Unified Champion Kazuchika Okada, IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Konosuke Takeshita, and Hechicero. Omega accepted without hesitation, declaring he’d fight the Family for free.
The reunion raises compelling questions. Can The Elite recapture their championship-caliber chemistry? Will existing tensions between Okada and Takeshita create cracks in Callis’s operation?
World Championship Contract Signing Sets Stage for Worlds End
AEW World Champion Samoa Joe meets his challengers face-to-face tonight when he, “Hangman” Adam Page, and Swerve Strickland sign the contract for their three-way match at Worlds End on December 27.
Contract signings in professional wrestling rarely go smoothly. With ten days until they collide for wrestling’s most prestigious prize, expect fireworks when these three volatile competitors share the ring in Manchester.
Dynamite Diamond Battle Royale Returns With High Stakes
The annual Dynamite Diamond Battle Royale tradition continues with a unique twist—the final two competitors advance to next week’s Dynamite on 34th Street for a one-on-one match.
That winner claims the coveted Dynamite Diamond Ring plus a guaranteed AEW World Championship opportunity on January 14 at Dynamite: Maximum Carnage in Phoenix.
Confirmed participants include:
- AEW National Champion Ricochet
- Brody King
- Mark Davis
- Shelton Benjamin
- Max Caster
- Anthony Bowens
Continental Classic Tournament Reaches Critical Junction
Gold League: Kyle Fletcher vs. PAC
“The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher enters with six points but suffered his first tournament loss last week against “Speedball” Mike Bailey. PAC sits at three points following his defeat to Okada two weeks ago.
Both competitors belong to rival factions—Fletcher with the Don Callis Family and PAC with the Death Riders—who’ve maintained an uneasy truce until now. That unspoken agreement evaporates tonight.
Fletcher needs victory to regain sole possession of first place. PAC, wrestling in his home country, seeks momentum to create a logjam at the top of the standings.
Blue League: Jon Moxley vs. Roderick Strong
Both men arrive desperate, each suffering back-to-back losses—an unfamiliar position for competitors of their caliber. Moxley holds three points while Strong remains winless with zero.
They’ve split their two previous singles encounters, with Strong’s most recent victory coming via count-out to secure the Blood & Guts advantage last month. Desperation breeds violence, and tonight’s clash promises brutality.
Blue League: Orange Cassidy vs. Máscara Dorada
Both competitors earned their first tournament wins last week and stand tied at three points. Tonight’s victor moves within striking distance of Blue League leaders Claudio Castagnoli and Konosuke Takeshita, who each hold seven points.
Cassidy and Dorada teamed successfully alongside Roderick Strong on AEW Dark: Stocking Stuffer, but tonight marks their first singles encounter with massive tournament implications.
Tag Team Gold On The Line
FTR—Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler—defend their AEW World Tag Team Championship against Bang Bang Gang’s Juice Robinson and Austin Gunn in a rivalry that’s been intensifying for weeks.
Since FTR captured the titles for a record-tying third time, Robinson and Gunn have aggressively pursued their opportunity. They already defeated FTR in a non-title match earlier in November on Collision, proving they belong in this conversation.
Can Bang Bang Gang replicate that success with championship gold hanging in the balance? Or will the winningest team in AEW history remind everyone why they’re called the Top Guys?
Eight Champions Collide In Women’s Tag Spectacle
History will be present when eight of AEW’s best women’s wrestlers—including four championship titleholders—clash in an explosive tag team encounter.
The inaugural AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions, the Babes of Wrath (Harley Cameron and Willow Nightingale), made history last week by defeating Timeless Love Bombs (Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa). Their championship celebration turned into a potential rematch discussion before TBS Champion Mercedes Moné interrupted to disparage all four women.
They challenged Moné to back up her words in Manchester. She assembled a formidable team including ROH Women’s World Champion Athena and the physically dominant MegaProblems (Megan Bayne and Marina Shafir).
The result? An 8-woman spectacular dripping with championship prestige and personal animosity.
Hayter Builds Momentum Before Title Shot
Former AEW Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter faces rising star Isla Dawn in front of her home country crowd. Hayter challenges Kris Statlander for the championship in ten days at Worlds End, making tonight’s match crucial for building momentum.
Wrestling in England provides Hayter with passionate fan support, but Dawn represents a dangerous opponent capable of derailing championship aspirations. Victory tonight strengthens Hayter’s confidence heading into her title opportunity next weekend.
How To Watch Holiday Bash
AEW Dynamite and Collision Holiday Bash airs live on TBS starting at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT. Fans can also stream the entire 3-hour spectacular on HBO Max simultaneously.
With championships defended, tournament standings altered, and a million dollars claimed, tonight’s combined show from Manchester promises unforgettable holiday entertainment for wrestling fans worldwide.
