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

AEW Worlds End is live tonight from the NOW Arena in suburban Chicago, and the AEW Men's World Championship is on the line in a massive 4-Way Match. Samoa Joe will defend his title against three former champions in their own right, "Hangman" Adam Page, Swerve Strickland and Maxwell Jacob Friedman.

The AEW Women's World Title will also be defended as Kris Statlander steps into the ring with former champion Jamie Hayter in a respectful, but prideful battle to prove once and for all who is the better woman.

The field of 12 competitors has now been narrowed to the final four in this year's Continental Classic, with the semifinal and championship matches taking place later tonight.

Will reigning Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada go back-to-back or will a new man step up to claim the title? The Rainmaker will first need to get past fellow Don Callis Family member and IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Konosuke Takeshita in order to make it to the finals, where either Kyle Fletcher or Jon Moxley will be waiting for him.

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 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.
