It's the end of the world as we know it, and surprisingly, we feel more than fine about it.

AEW Worlds End was live from the NOW Arena in suburban Chicago. Major highlights from the show include MJF winning his second AEW World Championship in a massive 4-Way Match, defeating Samoa Joe, "Hangman" Adam Page, and Swerve Strickland.

Jon Moxley defeated Kazuchika Okada in the Continental Championship match after winning their respective Continental Classic semifinal matches versus Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita. Also, Kris Statlander retained the AEW Women's World Championship against Jamie Hayter.

The Takedown on SI will have all your live coverage, results and highlights starting at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT), and we won't stop until the final bell of the night.

- Worlds End is kicking off with Kazuchika Okada, runner-up of the Gold League vs. Konosuke Takeshita, leader of the Blue League in one of two Continental Classic semifinals. This is arguably one of AEW's most highly anticipated matches of the year.

- Okada attempted to start the match with a handshake, but Takeshita declined.

- Bryan Danielson pointed out on commentary that Okada is the defending Continental Classic winner going up against Takeshita, the defending G1 Climax winner.

- Both men have struggled to gain and keep the upper hand since they're so evenly matched. They began a back-and-forth strike exchange, but Takeshita refused to go down. Okada is trying to find a spot to hit the Rainmaker, but has been unable to so far.

- After Takeshita almost ended Okada with a thunderous knee strike, the Rainmaker got creative and pulled a screwdriver out of the turnbuckle where it was hidden to hit Takeshita with. Takeshita ducked out of it once but wasn't able to a second time.

Kazuchika Okada defeated Konosuke Takeshita to advance to the Continental Classic Ffinal. He cheerfully walked away with Don Callis, who notably didn't stop to check on Takeshita.

- Up next is the second Continental Classic semifinal. Kyle Fletcher and Jon Moxley are facing each other one-on-one for the first time ever.

- Fletcher and Moxley have had a very physical match from the start. Mox seems to have broken a tooth, and he's hobbling on his left knee.

- Kyle Fletcher hit Mox with a brutal brainbuster on the apron. Mox barely made it back in the ring before the 10-count ended.

- In a clear break from his recent history, Moxley refused to tap out to Fletcher's Boston Crab despite being trapped for several minutes.

- Kyle Fletcher survived bumping directly on the top of his head, kicked out of a curb stomp, and kicked out of the Death Rider. He checked the turnbuckles for a hidden screwdriver and couldn't find one. Okada used it in the previous match, and the commentary team mentioned that Kyle Fletcher intentionally didn't watch the other semifinal.

- By the end of the match, the Chicago crowd was full-on cheering for Moxley. He locked Fletcher in a choke and held on for dear life until Fletcher's face turned purple and he was no longer responsive. The referee stopped the match via knockout.

- Jon Moxley defeated Kyle Fletcher to advance to the Continental Classic final and face Kazuchika Okada. Fletcher was frustrated after the match and attacked Moxley before angrily leaving the ring.

- Up next: FTR (c) vs. Bang Bang Gang in a Chicago Street Fight for the AEW World Tag Team Championship

- Dax Harwood pinned Austin Gunn to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships for FTR. The crowd struggled to get into it at points, but there were several wild spots, including Stoke flying through the ropes and missing the table on the outside, and Juice Robinson catching Harwood off guard with a fire extinguisher.

- Up next: Babes of Wrath (c) vs. Mercedes Moné & Athena for the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championship

- Mercedes Moné went after Harley Cameron right away. Perhaps it's Mini Moné's fault.

-Willow Nightingale hit Moné with a Death Valley Driver. She didn't get a pinfall from it, but she did manage to sit up fast enough to miss an incoming splash from Athena off the top turnbuckle. Athena's partner ended up paying the price.

- Willow Nightingale attempted to hit Moné with the Doctor Bomb, but the CEO wriggled out of it in an attempt to convert to the Moné Maker. Nightingale took advantage and rolled up Moné for the win.

- Babes of Wrath defeated Mercedes Moné & Athena to retain the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championships in a fantastic tag match. Needless to say, Athena is not happy with Mercedes Moné for getting pinned.

- Up next: Gabe Kidd vs. Darby Allin

- The meeting between two of wrestling's most unhinged personalities certainly lived up to expectations. From the beginning, both men were bleeding buckets and brawling all over the ring, even flying through the timekeeper's table at one point.

- Darby Allin defeated Gabe Kidd via rollup.

- Up next: Marina Shafir, Daniel Garcia, Wheeler Yuta, & Claudio Castagnoli vs. "Timeless" Toni Storm, Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, & TNT Champion Mark Briscoe in a Mixed Nuts Mayhem Four-Way Match

- Toni Storm was a popular target at the beginning of the match, but her teammates, specifically Mark Briscoe and Orange Cassidy, managed to intervene.

- Mixed Nuts Mayhem is tornado style with all competitors in the ring at the same time.

- The Death Riders took turns battering Toni Storm and Orange Cassidy against the corner turnbuckles.

- Roderick Strong and Marina Shafir didn't hold back against each other despite their "special" connection.

- Orange Cassidy, Toni Storm, and Mark Briscoe collaborated (or conglomerated) to give Briscoe the opening to hit the Jay Driller on Wheeler Yuta to win the match.

- Timeless Toni Storm, Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, & TNT Champion Mark Briscoe defeated Marina Shafir, Daniel Garcia, Wheeler Yuta, & Claudio Castagnoli in a Mixed Nuts Mayhem Four-Way Match

- After the match, Babes of Wrath and Mina Shirakawa came to the ring to celebrate. It seems like we haven't seen the last of Storm, Shirakawa, and Orange Cassidy together.

- Lexy Nair attempted to talk to Mercedes Moné following her loss to Babes of Wrath, and the CEO was not happy. She trashed her locker room before stepping out to announce a challenge to Nightingale for New Years Smash on Wednesday.

- Up next: Kris Statlander (c) vs. Jamie Hayter for AEW Women's World Championship

- This one is as evenly matched as it gets. Statlander and Hayter are two of the best powerhouses in AEW, and are hitting each other blow-for-blow without being able to get the better of their opponent.

- Statlander showed a bit of a mean streak and spat in Hayter's face. She then executed an incredibly stiff version of the Hayterade, and Hayter returned the favor with Staturday Night Fever.

- After a highly physical bout, Statlander managed to hit Staturday Night Fever to pin the former champion and win the match.

- Kris Statlander defeated Jamie Hayter to retain the AEW Women's World Championship.

- Up next: Kazuchika Okada vs. Jon Moxley in the Continental Classic Championship Match

- Much like Takeshita earlier in the night, Jon Moxley also refused to shake Okada's hand.

- Jon Moxley has the most physical damage from his previous match, and Kazuchika Okada is exploiting those weaknesses at every turn, constantly attacking Mox's ailing left knee.

- Okada attempted to cheat and use the Continental title as a weapon, but was stopped by the referee. While the referee was putting the belt back ringside, Mox hit Okada with a low blow.

- Jon Moxley pulled a last surge of energy out of nowhere and hit Kazuchika Okada with the Death Rider to win the Continental Classic and the Continental Championship, ending Okada's 647-day reign as champion.

- Jon Moxley defeated Kazuchika Okada to win the 2025 Continental Classic Tournament.

- After the match, the Death Riders came to the ring to celebrate with Moxley. Mox then proceeded to give a passionate promo to the audience about the Continental Classic and AEW.

Up next: Samoa Joe (c) vs. Hangman Adam Page vs. Swerve Strickland vs. MJF for the AEW World Championship

- Swerve Strickland and MJF went after each other to begin the match. MJF even mocked Strickland's Griddy dance.

- After weeks of being allies, "Hangman" Adam Page and Swerve Strickland faced off to the delight of the fans. Both men know each other so well, and they constantly changed momentum back and forth before Page leveled him with the Buckshot Lariat. He almost got the victory before Samoa Joe broke up the pin attempt.

- The Opps came out to assist Joe but were ousted from ringside by Swerve Strickland.

- "Hangman" Adam Page hit Samoa Joe with multiple Buckshot Lariats and was on the cusp of winning his third AEW World Championship before MJF shoved him out of the way and leveled Joe with a Heatseeker to claim victory and his second world title.

- MJF defeated Samoa Joe, "Hangman" Adam Page, and Swerve Strickland to win the AEW World Championship
