AEW to stage New Years Smash in Omaha on Dec 31, 2025

All Elite Wrestling will close out 2025 with a New Years Smash edition of AEW Dynamite on Wednesday, December 31, at the Liberty First Credit Union Arena in the Omaha, Nebraska, area, the promotion announced on October 27. The special New Yearsthemed episode will follow the Worlds End payperview on December 27 and is scheduled as AEW’s final televised show of the year.

AEW said early access premium seating will begin the day after the announcement, with general public tickets going on sale Monday, November 3. The promotion posted a brief statement on its channels urging fans to "Ring in the New Year with AEW" and noting that New Years Smash will take over the Liberty First Credit Union Arena on New Years Eve. A promotional graphic accompanying the announcement features Hangman Adam Page, Kris Statlander, and Darby Allin.

The December 31 episode will double as the fallout show for Worlds End, which is set for Saturday, December 27 at the NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. AEW has not released a match card for New Years Smash; the inclusion of Page, Statlander, and Allin on promotional material suggests they may play prominent roles but does not constitute confirmed bookings.
