Wednesday’s Dynamite show in Chicago also featured the first match announced for AEW Worlds End event, which takes place on December 30th at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York.

This new match announced was an AEW World Championship match of Samoa Joe vs. MJF (c).

This match was setup following an in-ring promo segment involving MJF, Ada, Cole, and Joe. After MJF talked about his victory over Jay White at Full Gear and Cole provided an announcement regarding his ankle injury recovery, Joe came out to interrupt. Joe demanded to be given his title shot for MJF’s AEW World title after he helped out MJF for his ROH World Tag Team Championship match at Full Gear 2023. MJF initially backed out of their deal only for Cole to persuade him to honor his agreement with Joe since he’s no longer the old evil MJF. MJF then agreed to the match and got into another heated exchange with Joe involving Joe promising to beat him down to a pulp in front of his family and friends at Worlds End.
