But the show-stealer might be Will Ospreay having a match against someone he hasn't faced in the ring since 2017. [more inside]

Tonight the wrestling world sends off an Icon, as Sting -- through a history that encompasses almost 40 years in the business, matches across the world, championships in three companies -- has his final match in the same venue where he faced Ric Flair in 1988. With nearly every title being defended, will the greatest match of the night be Sting and Darby defending their tag belts, Samoa Joe defending against the fire and ice of Hangman Page & Swerve Strickland, or the non-title AEW debut of Will By-God Ospreay?

Tonight, "Hangman" Adam Page and Swerve Strickland have their third (and maybe final?) match. Darby Allin and Sting will pit themselves against Absolute Ricky and Big Bill for the AEW World Tag Team Championship in a Tornado Tag Match.

Special Event: Ring Of Honor: Final Battle 2023

It has been a wild year for Ring of Honor since last year's Final Battle. After tragically losing ROH mainstay Jay Briscoe in January this year, the company rebuilt itself following Tony Khan's 2022 purchase and resumed national tours. Talent from ROH and All Elite Wrestling have been mingling all year, and with the ROH World Championship and the Tag Team Championships locked down in AEW storylines, the show has compensated by adding emotionally rich grudge matches and some out-of-town spectacle to the normal lineup. Tonight's show, like all of Ring of Honor dating back to 2002, can be watched by members of Honor Club at the ROH website. [more inside]

AEW Collision: December 9, 2023 (& Rampage, December 8)  Season 1, Ep 26

Some tournament hopes are dashed, because the Continental Classic is a points-based tournament... and the numbers don't lie. Also, Kenny Omega in singles action, Pirate Bryan Danielson wrestles twice this week, and some smark favorites (Abadon! Danhausen! Orange Cassidy!) show up to play. Rampage and Collision were both pre-taped in Canada last week, so if the crowd seemed extra behind certain talent, now you know why. [more inside]

Your eyes do not deceive you, although your TV channel guide might, as TNT did a piss-poor job of noting the schedule change due to sport. Dynamite is once again going head-to-head with NXT tonight. Since HHH decided to throw down hard and fill the Performance Center with top names, Tony Khan has gone on his own offensive (and has been playing hard on Twitter this week) and booked a free 730PM (EST) Buy-In on YouTube plus gotten clearance to run 10 extra minutes with an exciting 6-match card.
