The event will be held at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York on Long Island, marking All Elite Wrestling's first pay-per-view event held in New York state.

Background

On October 25, 2023, it was reported that the American professional wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) had filed to trademark the name "Worlds End". Later that same night on Dynamite, AEW announced that it would hold a pay-per-view (PPV) event titled Worlds End on Saturday, December 30, 2023, at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York on Long Island, marking the company's first PPV to be held in the state of New York. Tickets went on sale on November 3, 2023.

Storylines

Worlds End will feature professional wrestling matches that are the result of pre-existing feuds and storylines, with results being predetermined by AEW's writers. Storylines are produced on AEW's weekly television programs, Dynamite, Collision, and Rampage.

On the November 11 episode of Collision, AEW president Tony Khan announced the AEW Continental Classic, a 12-man round-robin tournament similar to New Japan Pro-Wrestling's (NJPW) G1 Climax, to be held across episodes of Dynamite, Rampage, and Collision, starting from the November 22 episode of Dynamite, with the semi-finals (promoted as the League Finals) held on December 27 at Dynamite: New Year's Smash and the Championship Final held at Worlds End. Bryan Danielson announced his participation in the Continental Classic, despite his orbital bone injury. Eddie Kingston also announced his participation and that his ROH World Championship of sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH) and his NJPW Strong Openweight Championship would also be on the line in the tournament final. In addition to those two titles, it was also revealed that the winner of the tournament would become the inaugural AEW Continental Champion, with the three titles then being collectively held and defended under the Triple Crown Championship banner.

At Dynamite: Grand Slam on September 20, MJF defeated Samoa Joe to retain the AEW World Championship. Also during that match, MJF's tag team partner Adam Cole injured his foot after he jumped off the entrance ramp when he came out to support MJF. Cole subsequently was unable to defend the ROH World Tag Team Championship with MJF, who was scheduled to defend it during the Full Gear Zero Hour pre-show on November 18. Joe offered to be MJF's partner for the title defense on the condition that MJF would give him another opportunity at the AEW World Championship. MJF initially declined, but he eventually agreed after Joe saved him from a beatdown, and they retained the title, although MJF suffered a minor leg injury. On the subsequent episode of Dynamite, after Cole convinced him to keep his promise, MJF said he would defend the AEW World Championship against Joe that night, but Joe declined as he instead wanted to face a healed up MJF in the main event at Worlds End in MJF's hometown of Long Island, and MJF accepted.

At WrestleDream, after Christian Cage retained the AEW TNT Championship against Darby Allin, Cage, Luchasaurus, and Nick Wayne continued their attack on Allin until Sting attempted to make the save, but he was also attacked. As Luchasaurus and Wayne were about to perform a con-chair-to on Sting, Adam Copeland made his AEW debut and saved Sting and Allin. On the following episode of Dynamite, Copeland told Cage that he came to AEW to reform their tag team so they could have one more run together before retiring, but Cage rejected the offer. This would lead to a match at Full Gear where Copeland, Sting, and Allin defeated The Patriarchy (Cage, Luchasaurus, and Wayne). Copeland then faced Cage for the TNT Championship on the December 6 episode of Dynamite, but lost after Wayne's mother Shayna interfered and hit Copeland with the title belt. On December 16 at Collision: Winter Is Coming, Copeland challenged Cage to a No Disqualification match for the TNT Championship at Worlds End, and Cage accepted.

At Full Gear, The Golden Jets (Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega) defeated The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) to earn the latter's AEW World Tag Team Championship opportunity. During Dynamite: Winter Is Coming on December 13, The Golden Jets called out champions Ricky Starks and Big Bill to invoke their title match for Worlds End, which was accepted. However, two days later on December 15, Omega posted a medical update to his social media, stating that he had been in pain, which turned out to be diverticulitis, thus taking him out of action indefinitely, seemingly canceling the match at Worlds End. However, on December 23 during Collision: Holiday Bash, Jericho announced he would find a new partner for the championship match at Worlds End.
