AEW Set to Ring in 2025 with Historic MAX Simulcast Event

AEW is kicking off 2025 in a big way, delivering what it’s calling “the mother of all simulcasts.” During tonight’s AEW Full Gear, it was revealed that a special edition of Dynamite Fight for the Fallen will air on New Year’s Day, January 1, 2025, marking AEW’s first-ever simulcast on HBO MAX.

This landmark event represents a significant milestone for AEW as it dives into the streaming arena. Dubbed Fight for the Fallen, the special edition Dynamite will showcase AEW’s unique brand of wrestling action on both TBS and MAX simultaneously, signaling a new era for pro wrestling on streaming platforms.

Details about the Fight for the Fallen lineup are expected to drop soon, but the timing couldn’t be better for AEW fans. The event follows closely on the heels of AEW Worlds End, the December 28 pay-per-view guaranteed to set the tone heading into this historic broadcast.

While AEW is making major moves with its MAX simulcast, WWE is also entering the streaming wars with the highly anticipated debut of WWE Raw on Netflix on January 6, 2025. The battle between the two wrestling giants continues to heat up, as both aim to redefine how fans experience their content.

With wrestling moving into the streaming age, all eyes are on AEW’s January 1 event. Will this simulcast set a new standard for how fans experience wrestling?
