In the main event, Samoa Joe defeated MJF by technical submission to win the AEW World Championship.

[3] Later that same night on Dynamite, AEW announced that it would hold a pay-per-view (PPV) event titled Worlds End on Saturday, December 30, 2023, at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York on Long Island, marking the company's first PPV to be held in the state of New York.

Storylines were produced on AEW's weekly television programs, Dynamite, Collision, and Rampage, and the YouTube series, Being The Dark Order.

On the November 11 episode of Collision, AEW president Tony Khan announced the Continental Classic (C2), a 12-man round-robin tournament similar to New Japan Pro-Wrestling's (NJPW) G1 Climax, to be held across episodes of Dynamite, Rampage, and Collision, starting from the November 22 episode of Dynamite, with the semi-finals (promoted as the League Finals) held on December 27 at Dynamite: New Year's Smash and the Championship Final held at Worlds End.

[7] At Dynamite: Grand Slam on September 20, MJF defeated Samoa Joe to retain the AEW World Championship.

[13] This would lead to a match at Full Gear where Copeland, Sting, and Allin defeated The Patriarchy (Cage, Luchasaurus, and Wayne).

[14] During Dynamite: Winter Is Coming on December 13, The Golden Jets called out champions Ricky Starks and Big Bill to invoke their title match for Worlds End, which was accepted.

[18] However, two days later on December 15, Omega revealed he had been legitimately diagnosed with diverticulitis, thus taking him out of action indefinitely and canceling the match at Worlds End.

[19] On December 23 during Collision: Holiday Bash, Jericho announced he would find a new partner for the championship match at an unknown date.

[17] The following week during Dynamite: New Year's Smash, Jericho saved a returning Sammy Guevara from a beatdown by The Don Callis Family (Konosuke Takeshita, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Kyle Fletcher), with Starks and Bill subsequently coming out to attack Jericho and Guevara.

In the closing stages, Yuta hit Hook with a stop sign and delivered a senton to him for a two-count.

Lethal locked in the Figure Four Leglock on Garcia, but Mark used the Froggy Bow splash to break up the submission attempt.

Next, "Timeless" Toni Storm (accompanied by Luther the Butler and Mariah May) defended the AEW Women's World Championship against Riho.

In the closing stages, Riho performed a corner running knee, a bulldog and a roundhouse kick to Storm.

Storm locked in the Texas Cloverleaf and as Riho attempted to get to the ropes, Luther pulled her.

Before the match started, Swerve performed a double stomp onto Dustin's ankle on a cinderblock.

Next, Sting, Darby Allin and Le Sex Gods (Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara) faced Ricky Starks, Big Bill and The Don Callis Family (Konosuke Takeshita and Powerhouse Hobbs) (accompanied by Don Callis).

The next match was for the AEW TBS Championship contested between defending champion Julia Hart and Abadon.

The referee rang the bell and Christian immediately delivered a spear and pinned Copeland to win the title for a second time.

Kingston then landed multiple Machine Gun chops and hit the spinning backfist, but he buckled his knee trying to make the cover.

Moxley then locked in a bulldog choke, but Kingston escaped and hit another Northern Lights Bomb for a two-count.

Both men then performed open palm strikes and Kingston then immediately delivered a spinning backfist and pinned Moxley to win the AEW Continental Championship.

With this win, Kingston became the inaugural American Triple Crown Champion and the first man in AEW to hold three titles simultaneously.

In the main event, MJF (accompanied by Adam Cole) defended the AEW World Championship against Samoa Joe.

[20] Doc-Chris Mueller of Bleacher Report gave the show a C+, saying that "this PPV had a couple of really great matches and moments, but when compared to every other major event AEW has held, this one might be considered one of the worst.

Kingston winning was the biggest highlight of the night, but Cage and Copeland probably came in a close second place.

[24] The show received mixed to negative reviews, with some calling it among the worst in company history.

[25] The following episode of Dynamite began with Samoa Joe stating that he would be taking everything from anyone who tried to dethrone him for the AEW World Championship.

[26] Also on Dynamite, Adam Cole, Wardlow, Roderick Strong, Matt Taven, and Mike Bennett, now dubbed the Undisputed Kingdom, taunted MJF and stated that he would never be coming back.

[26] Additionally, Chris Jericho chose Sammy Guevara as his new partner to challenge for the AEW World Tag Team Championship, which was scheduled as a Street Fight at Battle of the Belts IX.
