All Elite Wrestling will cap off their successful run of pay-per-views in 2025 with the AEW Worlds End event from Chicago, Illinois.

On the road to this major show, there have been various matches that have been teased or alluded to that might not be taking place at Worlds End 2025.

From title bouts that were changed, to feuds that were set to culminate at the event, there seems to have been some major contests that may have been canceled before AEW made their way to Chi-Town for this show.

Here are six potential AEW Worlds End 2025 matches canceled.

6. Samoa Joe vs. Hangman Adam Page vs. Swerve Strickland For AEW World Title

At AEW Full Gear 2025, Samoa Joe defeated Hangman Adam Page in a Steel Cage Match to win the AEW World Title thanks to interference from HOOK.

Following the match, Swerve Strickland made his return to the promotion for the first time since AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2025.

Setting his sights on the top prize in the company, Strickland inserted himself into the drama between Joe and Page. This set up a likely three-way match for AEW Worlds End 2025.

Before MJF returned to invoke his Casino Gauntlet title shot contract to make the AEW Worlds End main event a four-way, it seemed like the issues between Joe, Swerve and Hangman would come to a head in Chicago.
