The 2025 Blood & Guts is an upcoming professional wrestling television special produced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). It will be the fifth annual Blood & Guts event and will take place on November 12, 2025, at the First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina. The event will be broadcast live as a special episode of AEW's flagship weekly television program, Wednesday Night Dynamite , simulcast on TBS and HBO Max.

The event is based around the Blood and Guts match, a type of steel cage match in which two teams fight inside a roofed cell structure that surrounds two rings placed side-by-side. The 2025 edition will feature the first-ever women's Blood and Guts match in AEW. This will also be the first edition of the event to be held during autumn as it is typically held during the summer.

Production

Background

The 2025 Blood & Guts will be held at the First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Blood & Guts is an annual professional wrestling television special produced by the American promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2021. The event typically airs as a mid-year special episode of the company's flagship weekly program, Wednesday Night Dynamite . The concept of the event comes from the Blood and Guts match, which is AEW's version of the classic WarGames match in which two teams fight inside a roofed cell structure that surrounds two rings placed side-by-side and is contested as the main event match of the card. ^[1]

On September 30, 2025, AEW announced that the fifth annual Blood & Guts would air live as the November 12, 2025, episode of Dynamite, simulcast on TBS and HBO Max, and it would be held at the First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina. While prior events were held mid-year, the 2025 edition is the first to take place in the latter part of the year. This will also be the first WarGames type match to take place at the First Horizon Coliseum since World Championship Wrestling's Great American Bash house show tour on August 10, 1991.

Tickets for the event went on sale on October 3. ^[2] This will be AEW's third event at the venue, following Holiday Bash (2021) and Revolution (2024).

Storylines

Blood & Guts will feature professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. ^[3] Storylines are produced on AEW's weekly television programs, Dynamite and Collision .

For several weeks, both Jamie Hayter and Queen Aminata had been fighting members of Triangle of Madness (Julia Hart, Skye Blue, and Thekla). Following the main event of the September 27 episode of Collision, a brawl occurred and Hayter and Aminata subsequently challenged Triangle of Madness to the first-ever women's Blood and Guts match in AEW. ^[4] The match was then made official on September 30, with the remainder of the teammates to be determined. ^[5]
