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
[edit]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 Monday November 24, the rest of the 12 man field was announced, with the wrestlers evenly divided between the Blue League and Gold League. The wrestlers who win their leagues will advance to the final at Worlds End and the winner will become Continental Champion.
