Continental Classic marquee matches
Takeshita vs. Orange Cassidy (Blue League)
IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Konosuke Takeshita (7 points) faces Orange Cassidy (6 points) in a pivotal Blue League match. Takeshita—undefeated in the tournament—needs a win to stay tied for first and to clinch an early path to the semifinals. Cassidy can leap into the lead with a victory, setting up a tense final night of league action on Christmas Collision.

Roderick Strong vs. Máscara Dorada (Blue League)
Máscara Dorada clings to life in the Blue League with three points after a recent upset. Roderick Strong, eliminated from contention, can play spoiler—making this an intriguing matchup with tournament implications for Dorada.
Dynamite Diamond Ring Final: Ricochet vs. Bandido
After surviving the Dynamite Diamond Battle Royale last week, AEW National Champion Ricochet faces ROH World Champion Bandido one-on-one for the Dynamite Diamond Ring.

Both competitors enter as reigning champions, raising the stakes and adding star power to this dream encounter.
MJF returns — and Worlds End looms
MJF returns to in-ring action on Dynamite for the first time since August.
