New Year's Smash - Dynamite recap for December 31, 2025

MJF is seen entering the arena and entering the ring to start tonight's show. There is a table in the ring - which has a red mat - and on the table is something covered in a red mantle. He throws down the AEW World Championship and re-introduces the "Triple B" before mentioning that the fans think that this is unfair and stating that anyone who thinks they are on his level should step up or get stepped on. He says that he is a stallion and that he is done slow-trotting around for all the donkey in the locker room, then says he is at a sprint and that he is not slowing down until he is the greatest of all time. All of a sudden, Kenny Omega appears on the video screen. He feels that he is approaching the end of his career and admits he hates that feeling, as he is leaving a stone unturned, and wonders if he could be champion again and wonders what would happen if MJF never beat him.He says that whatever it takes to prove he is worthy of a challenge, MJF will be seeing a lot more of him. MJF says that Omega was not man enough to say any of that to his face, then "Hangman" Adam Page shows up from out of the crowd with a chain around his neck. Right after that, Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana also appear. Swerve is also wearing a chain around his neck as he and Nana come out of the crowd, and the three of them head to the ring. Security soon shows up from backstage to hold them back, and MJF says that he is a professional wrestler and that wins and losses matter, and that Hangman and Swerve are losers. He tells them to earn some wins, talk to Tony Khan and earn their chances so he can beat them again, but on his way out, Hangman and Swerve get past security. Hangman and Swerve soon lay security out. Hangman grabs a microphone and threatens to strangle MJF with the "Triple B" before he takes it away from him, and Swerve tells MJF to pray that Hangman gets to him before he does, then says that the hunt is on and "may the worst men win." The Opps (Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, Hook) soon show up on the video screen, and Samoa Joe says that the only man who deserves to be number one contender is him, "the rightful and robbed champion." He says he has "eternal obstacles" that are in his way of getting what is his, then sends Hook after Hangman for laying his hands on him so he can choke him on sight. Joe then sics Powerhouse Hobbs on Swerve before saying that they can do this next week as he does not want to spend any more time in "this broken, busted ass cow town." Hangman calls Samoa Joe is "new year, same dumbass" and wants Hook. Swerve wants a Lights Out match in response to Samoa Joe's threats.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Orange Cassidy, Mark Briscoe and Roderick Strong. Mark Briscoe says that The Conglomeration are rolling into 2026 and that they will have both the TNT and TBS going into the new year, and declares "asphyxiation" the word of the day, as The Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) will be choking on "dees nuts" tonight. "Timeless" Toni Storm, Mina Shirakawa and Luther show up, with Toni taking a liking to Orange, much to Luther and Mina's chagrin before Toni walks out eating an orange with Briscoe following also wanting a taste. Roderick Strong says he wants no part of this.

The Death Riders (Claudio Castagnoli, Daniel Garcia, "The Problem" Marina Shafir) beat "Timeless" Toni Storm and The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong) in a Tornado Trios Match after Wheeler Yuta shows up and grabs Orange Cassidy and Claudio grabs onto referee Paul Turner.

Backstage, Renee Paquette interviews Brodido (Brody King and Bandido). Bandido tells MJF that he will beat him and become the first Mexican professional wrestler to become AEW World Champion.

He also says that he is first in line when Bandido becomes a double champion, but for now, he has work to do.

Brody King beats "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson.

We hear from Darby Allin, who says he went to hell with Gabe Kidd at Worlds End and while he is not numb to the pain and is more aware of it than anyone, and while he wants to stand on the top of AEW, he has unfinished business with PAC.

After the match, Toa Liona brings Luchasaurus back from the back after attacking him from behind and dragging him there during the match, and as he and Kaun surround him and attack him with a chair to a barricade over his arm, Ricochet lays out Jack Perry from behind with another Spirit Gun. When security shows up, they also get attacked.

McIntyre then tells the fans that he is "king of the Raw jungle" before telling Ziggler it did not have to be this way, but Ziggler kept coming back for his scraps. He calls Ziggler "dead weight" and undeserving of his scraps, then says he can focus on what really matters. He says it is time to prove he is king of the WWE, and fulfill his destiny by winning the Royal Rumble and the WWE Universal Championship. McIntyre is about to leave when he notices Ziggler getting back to his feet, and rushes back into the ring to hit Ziggler with yet another Claymore Kick.

Shane McMahon and Triple H are seen coming out of a limousine backstage.

Finn Balor resolves to become Universal Champion in 2019. Ember Moon wants to win the women's Royal Rumble. The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) want to win the Raw tag team titles. The Lucha House Party (Kalisto, Lince Dorado, Gran Metalik) want to make 2019 their year.

Seth Rollins shows up. He says he is not one for New Year's resolutions, as every day is a chance for a fresh start in the fast-paced world of WWE. He says he is not interested on waiting for a ball to drop, as he wants to start the party right now. Seth announces that he has a rematch for the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Dean Ambrose, and he wants it right now. Instead of getting Dean Ambrose, he gets WWE COO Triple H. Triple H says it has been a while and that Seth has said something interesting concerning fresh starts, and says it has never been more true than right now. He says there will be no more automatic anything, including rematches, and that his rematch is not going to happen. He also says that Seth is not deserving of a rematch anyway, and that he takes no pleasure in saying that he has always been his most vocal supporter. Seth tells him to cut the crap, but Triple H tells Seth he made him believe in him. Whether it was becoming "The Man," making Raw into "Monday Night Rollins," or getting what he wanted, he made him believe, and he also kicked his ass at WrestleMania until he believed in him again. He wants to know where this Rollins is, as this Rollins has been asking for stuff. Rollins says he has been carrying the red brand and churning out classic matches while Brock Lesnar has been sitting at home. Rollins says he is more than happy to earn his opportunities, and ask Triple H if he wants the "soulless bastard" he used to be. Triple H tells him that is exactly what he wants, and tells him to start tonight with Bobby Lashley. Seth says he will take anything Lashley has to give, then do the same to Dean Ambrose and anyone who gets in his way, including Triple H's own family. Shane McMahon runs in and tells Triple H to stop amping Rollins up, and reminds Rollins to get ready for his match with Lashley before announcing that the winner of the "Fresh Start Battle Royal" - which is next - will face Ambrose for the Intercontinental title later tonight.

Apollo Crews wins the Fresh Start Battle Royal, last eliminating Baron Corbin to earn a shot at the WWE Intercontinental Championship later tonight. After the match, Charly Caruso interviews Apollo Crews in the ring. Apollo says he has been asking for a fresh start, and now that fresh start is finally here. He can't think of any better way to spend the last day of 2018 than becoming Intercontinental Champion.

Backstage, Dasha Fuentes interviews Natalya, who says 2018 was a whirlwind year and a lot to handle, but also contained a lot of great things such as her match with "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey. She is entering the women's Royal Rumble match to get a rematch with Ronda. Nia Jax shows up and asks what would happen if Ronda wasn't the champ and something derailed Natalya's friends. Natalya is suddenly attacked from behind by Tamina, and Nia Jax joins in until backstage officials step in to stop the assault.

It is announced that Natalya and "Rowdy" Ronda Rousey will face Nia Jax and Tamina later tonight.

Baron Corbin is in the ring, saying he should have won the Fresh Start Battle Royal as nobody is more deserving of a fresh start than he does as everyone booed him when he tried to make them happy as General Manager-Elect. As he says that he deserves a reward for trying to please everyone, Elias shows up on the stage and plays "Auld Lang Syne" before telling Corbin his time is up and that it is time for a "new year's rockin' eve" with him, and that Corbin isn't invited because he's a loser. This leads to a "You're a loser!" chant aimed at Corbin from the fans, and Elias says that Corbin brought Raw to a run-down state like Detroit, Michigan before proclaiming that Detroit is on the rise and making a comeback. Elias then mocks Corbin through song, saying Corbin ruined Raw and is not entertaining. Corbin leaves the ring and heads towards the stage, and Elias meets him halfway up the ramp for a brawl. The brawl goes into the crowd and into towards the tech area before going back to the barricade where Elias pins Corbin into the barricade with a box before pummeling him. Corbin then retreats at the first possible opportunity.

AOP (Akam and Rezar) and Drake Maverick resolve to become more brutal and barbaric than ever until they are tag team champions again. The Riott Squad (Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan, Sarah Logan) wants to apply pressure and break everyone in 2019. Zack Ryder wants more matches and action figures. No Way Jose, on the other hand, is more interested in living in the moment and not worrying about 2019 until it gets here.
