As 2024 draws to a close, the AEW World Championship picture is heating up with several top stars targeting Jon Moxley. AEW’s next pay-per-view, Worlds End, is scheduled for December 28, and it appears a multi-man match for the title is in the works. On “Wrestling Observer Radio,” Bryan Alvarez revealed that the main event will likely see Moxley defend his crown in a four-way match.
“I believe that it is a four-way — in fact I was flat out told it will be a four-way, but I was not told who the four were,” Alvarez said. “I think [Hangman] Page, Jay [White] and Moxley are three of them, but I am also not sure Christian [Cage] is going to be the fourth guy, but if he’s not, I don’t know who the fourth guy is going to be.”
Christian Cage secured a guaranteed shot at the AEW World Championship by winning the Casino Gauntlet match at All In 2024. Meanwhile, Hangman Page and Jay White have been feuding since October after White’s return from injury.
Beyond Page, Cage, and White, Moxley and his Death Riders stable have been feuding with the likes of Orange Cassidy and Darby Allin, who are trying to prevent the faction from reshaping AEW in their image. Moxley defeated Cassidy at AEW Full Gear to retain his title, while Allin is currently competing in the Continental Classic tournament, where he is in the same block as the Death Riders’ Claudio Castagnoli. If Allin finishes in the top two of his league, he won’t be in the Worlds End main event, as the Continental Classic finals will take place at the same show.
