Preview & Predictions for AEW Dynamite New Year's Smash:
On tap for tonight's episode, you would think All Elite Wrestling will want to end 2025 with a bang, and since this is New Year's Smash, Tony Khan has some hype to live up to. At the moment of this publication, only four things have been announced, which are a promo from MJF, an eliminator match, and two title bouts.
I fully anticipate the promo from MJF will be the standard "I told you so" type of gloating about winning the AEW World Championship at AEW Worlds End. Someone will inevitably come out to try to humble him or remind him that he now has a target on his back. That could be Bandido, who won the Dynamite Diamond Ring and will face MJF at Maximum Carnage, or it could be one of MJF's opponents from Saturday in Samoa Joe, Swerve Strickland, or "Hangman" Adam Page.
I don't think Josh Alexander is beating Jon Moxley and earning a continental title shot, nor do I think Jack Perry stands much of a chance to dethrone Ricochet for the national title. If any belt is changing hands on this show, it will be Willow Nightingale taking the TBS title off Mercedes Mone. However, I don't necessarily think that is going to happen, either. Then again, Tony Khan has proven himself fond of the double champion idea, so it's not at all an unheard of scenario for Willow to walk out of this event with both the TBS title and one half of the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championship. I'm about 51/49 on this, leaning toward Mercedes retaining.
