Tonight in Atlanta, Georgia, we bring you AEW Dynamite Winter is Coming LIVE at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT on TBS and streaming on HBO Max! Two championships will be up for grabs, and the AEW Continental Classic moves into its third week of action!

Samoa Joe will defend the AEW World Championship for the first time in his second reign against a motivated and focused Eddie Kingston. Can Kingston finally cross the finish line and win professional wrestling’s richest prize? 

The first AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions will be crowned in the tournament final, as the Babes of Wrath, Harley Cameron and Willow Nightingale, face Timeless Love Bombs, “Timeless” Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa. One of these beloved teams will make history tonight!

The Continental Classic continues with a pair of first-time AEW matchups in the Gold League. Defending Continental Classic tournament winner “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada takes on “Jungle” Jack Perry, who replaces the injured Darby Allin for the rest of the tournament. Meanwhile, the leader of the Gold League, “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher, will try to add to his six points when he battles the scoreless “Speedball” Mike Bailey in their first singles meeting in AEW.

Plus, Swerve Strickland said he’ll stand beside “Hangman” Adam Page for one night only to team up against Powerhouse Hobbs and Katsuyori Shibata of The Opps in a tornado tag match!

All that and much more goes down tonight on Winter is Coming in Atlanta! Here’s your complete AEW Dynamite preview for December 10, 2025.

AEW Dynamite Matches, Preview for Wednesday, December 10

AEW World Championship: Samoa Joe (c) vs. Eddie Kingston

Eddie Kingston spent 18 months away from AEW due to a broken leg, but tonight, nearly three months since returning to action, Kingston will vie for his ultimate goal, the AEW World Championship. He’ll try to take it from a champion in Samoa Joe, who has proven he’ll do whatever is necessary to keep a stranglehold on the AEW World Title. Kingston has been incensed by how the Samoa Joe he once respected as perhaps the greatest ROH World Champion ever could turn into someone who sold out so hard. 

Tonight will be Kingston’s third chance at the AEW World Title and his first shot since November 2020. It’s also the first time Joe and Kingston will meet one-on-one in AEW, with Joe holding a broader 2-0 advantage dating back to their only pair of matches on the independents in 2007. 

Will Kingston show everyone that caring too much can in fact bring you to the mountaintop? Or will Joe’s latest reign begin with a successful defense to remain the only double-world champion in AEW?

Continental Classic Gold League: AEW Unified Champion “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada (3 points) vs. “Jungle” Jack Perry (0 points)

Unfortunately, Darby Allin was medically disqualified from the rest of the Continental Classic, as we found out this past weekend on AEW Collision, so “Jungle” Jack Perry will take his place, beginning tonight in a first-time matchup with ”The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada. 

Last week on Dynamite, it was Perry who bit Okada’s finger during a brawl that featured the Young Bucks, the Don Callis Family, Jurassic Express and eventually, Kenny Omega. Little did Perry and Okada know that they’d get to continue their hostilities a week later with such high stakes!

This is Perry’s first Continental Classic, and while he and Okada have never met one-on-one, they are undoubtedly familiar with each other as former members of The Elite for the majority of 2024. Can Okada build on the first three points he scored against PAC last week? Or will Perry make a massive statement against the defending Continental Champion?

Continental Classic Gold League: “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher (6 points) vs. “Speedball” Mike Bailey (0 points)

Last week, “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher kept his standing atop of the Gold League by defeating “The Jet” Kevin Knight in a battle of the then-unbeatens. Tonight, Fletcher will go for the JetSpeed sweep against “Speedball” Mike Bailey. Bailey was idle in Week 2 after losing to PAC in the opening week, so this is a massive chance to earn his first points and give Fletcher the first blemish on his record.

These two have only opposed each other once in AEW, as part of an 8-man tag team match back in Philadelphia, but they did have a lone singles meeting outside of AEW back in 2018, which Bailey won. Both men have evolved so much since then, which makes their first one-on-one battle in AEW a must-see showdown in Atlanta tonight! 

AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship Tournament Final: Timeless Love Bombs (“Timeless” Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa) vs. The Babes of Wrath (Harley Cameron and Willow Nightingale)

History will be made tonight when we crown the first AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions in the tournament final! We began this tournament with eight teams on Fright Night Dynamite back in October, and now, we’re down to the final two. 

Timeless Love Bombs entered the field with a partnership that went beyond the ring, as “Timeless” Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa are a team built on love.. Along the way, they defeated Alex Windsor and Riho, won a 4-Way at AEW Full Gear to determine the stipulation for their semifinal match, and then beat MegaProblems (Megan Bayne and Marina Shafir) last week in a Hardcore Holiday Death Match to advance to the final.

Harley Cameron and Willow Nightingale don’t have the same lengthy history as Storm and Shirakawa, but they share the same fighting philosophy of doing what they love – with a smile on their faces. Their path to the finals included impressive wins over TBS Champion Mercedes Moné and ROH Women’s World Champion Athena in the quarterfinals, followed by taking out Sisters of Sin in the semifinals. 

These four women were teammates a month ago in Blood & Guts, but with a chance to make history, they’ll have to forget about their shared past. Who will stake their claim as the first AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions? We’ll find out tonight at Winter is Coming!

Tornado Tag Match: “Hangman” Adam Page & Swerve Strickland vs. AEW World Trios Champions Powerhouse Hobbs & Katsuyori Shibata of The Opps

The rivalry between “Hangman” Adam Page and Swerve Strickland is the most violent and personal in AEW history, yet the two have found a few patches of common ground in the last six months, including their recent shared issues with The Opps. Last week, Page threw out the challenge to Hobbs and Shibata to face him at Winter is Coming and to get their affairs in order, because he wasn’t coming alone. On Collision, Swerve said he’d team with Page for one night only to handle Hobbs and Shibata, but after, they needed to have “a very, very, very serious conversation.”

Tonight won’t be about talking. Page and Strickland have laid waste to The Opps Dojo multiple times since Full Gear, and when they step in the ring with Hobbs and Shibata, tags won’t be necessary. You can only imagine the carnage that Page and Strickland will unleash when they team for the first and only time against two-thirds of the AEW World Trios Champions in this tornado tag war in Atlanta!
