AEW Continental Classic 2025 Winner Crowned

The winner of the 2025 AEW Continental Classic tournament was crowned on tonight’s AEW Worlds End pay-per-view event.

The Continental Classic tournament got underway for the third straight year following Full Gear, with 12 AEW stars across the Blue and Gold leagues looking to take home the Continental Championship.

Eddie Kingston was the inaugural winner of the tournament, defeating Jon Moxley in the final, while Okada scored the win over Will Ospreay in last year’s final to win retain the Continental Championship.

The semi-finals and finals of this year’s tournament took place at tonight’s Worlds End event, with the show kicking off with Kazuchika Okada defeating Konosuke Takeshita to advance to the final.

The other semi-final saw Jon Moxley defeat Kyle Fletcher, cementing a Moxley vs. Okada singles match for the first-time ever later in the night in the final of the Continental Classic.

In the end, Moxley would end up scoring the win, crowning him the 2025 Continental Classic winner, and the new AEW Continental Champion!
