Serena Deeb Makes Surprise Return at AEW Worlds End

Saturday’s AEW Worlds End event in Uniondale, New York featured Serena Deeb making her official on-screen return from injury to AEW.

In a vignette that aired during the Zero Hour Pre-show, Deeb was seen being tied up in a straitjacket in her Deeb Dungeon and talked about her lengthy absence from AEW. Deeb stated that she has been spending all of that time training to come back and rule over AEW’s Women’s division. After breaking out of the straight jacket, Deeb stated that she was ready to make her return soon.

This was Deeb’s first appearance in AEW since October of 2022 due to her suffering three seizures medical incidents.

CJ Perry Turns Heel on Andrade at Worlds End

Saturday’s Worlds End event also featured CJ Perry turning heel on Andrade El Idolo and teasing reuniting with Miro.

During Andrade’s match with Miro, Andrade locked in a Figure Four to Miro that he transitioned into a Figure Eight. While the referee was distracted, Andrade’s manager Perry grabbed his arms and yanked him down to break the hold. This led to Andrade being confused over what just happened and leaving him open to getting hit with a superkick by Miro for a near fall. Miro then locked in the Game Over for the submission victory.

After the match, Perry was very happy celebrating Miro’s victory while Miro looked on bewildered over his wife’s actions at ringside.

Andrade is currently believed to have finished up his time with AEW after tonight’s event.

New TNT & AEW World Champions Crowned at Worlds End

Saturday’s Worlds End event also featured three new champions crowned albeit with a catch.

The first championship to change hands was Adam Copeland defeating Christian Cage in a No Disqualification match to become the new TNT Champion.

The second new championship to change hands was Christian Cage defeating Adam Copeland to become the new champion regaining his belt back in the process.

Following the match, Killswitch attacked Copeland and tried to cash in his guaranteed title shot that he was due to him winning the Battle Royal match earlier in the show. Before the referee could accept the contract for the cash in, Cage interrupted and demanded that Killswitch hand over his match contract since he wanted to cash in instead. After some hesitation by Killswitch and Cage saying something to his ear, Killswitch handed over his match contract to Cage who cashed in for the title shot on the spot. Cage then hit a spear for the pinfall victory to regain his TNT title.

The third new champion crowned was Samoa Joe defeating MJF to become the new AEW World Champion.

The finish to this match involved Joe locking in the Coquina Clutch to MJF for the submission victory after MJF did not respond following the referee raising his hand up three times.

Eddie Kingston Wins Inaugural Continental Classic Tournament

Saturday’s Worlds End event also featured Eddie Kingston defeating Jon Moxley in the Finals of AEW’s inaugural Continental Classic tournament.

The finish to this match involved Moxley locking in a Bulldog Choke to Kingston which Kingston was able to break by grabbing onto the ropes. Moxley then ran towards Kingston in the corner only to get hit with a Northern Lights Bomb in return for a near fall. Kingston then attempted a powerbomb to Moxley which Moxley escaped and responded with a stiff lariat. Moxley and Kingston then exchanged a series of headbutts and slaps to each other leading to Kingston hitting Uraken to Moxley for the pinfall victory to become the inaugural AEW Continental Classic tournament winner.

Following the match, Kingston was presented with the new Continental Classic Championship belt to officially make him AEW’s first ever Triple Crown Champion.

Adam Cole Revealed as AEW Devil & Roderick Strong, Wardlow, & The Kingdom Revealed as His Minions

Saturday’s Worlds End event also featured Adam Cole being revealed as the AEW Devil.

Prior to the start of the AEW World Championship between Samoa Joe and MJF, Adam Cole made a surprise appearance and went to MJF’s corner to support him. Following Joe’s victory over MJF to become the new AEW World Champion, Cole went into the ring to console MJF over his loss. This led to the AEW Devil’s masked minions rushing to the ring and grabbed both Cole and MJF with one minion preparing to hit Cole with a steel chair. Before anything could happen, the lights went off and when it returned, Cole was sitting in the same chair and was holding the AEW Devil mask revealing that he was the mastermind of the AEW Devil’s recent attacks and actions towards MJF. The AEW Devil’s masked minions then took off their masks revealing themselves to be Roderick Strong, Wardlow, and The Kingdom and proceeded to attack MJF while Cole looked on.
