Tony Khan Announces One Night Return for AEW Dark

Prior to the start of Saturday’s AEW Collision Winter Is Coming 2025 show, AEW CEO Tony Khan came out to the live crowd and announced that AEW Dark would be returning for a one night only show.

Khan stated that he got permission from Warner Bros Discovery for a special one night only return for AEW Dark and that tapings for this upcoming show would be taking place after today’s Collision show.

“Because I love Cardiff so much I went to the great executives at Warner Bros. Discovery, the great company that powers the engine that makes AEW possible and I said to them, ‘Please, it’s a holiday season, for one night only, because there’s hardcore AEW fans in Cardiff this holiday season tonight I want to bring back, for one night only, AEW Dark!

And you know what they said? They said yes!”
