New Year's Smash

The 2024 Holiday Bash was a two-part professional wrestling television special produced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). It was the fifth annual Holiday Bash and took place on December 18, 2024, at the Entertainment & Sports Arena in Washington, D.C., airing as Christmas-themed episodes of Wednesday Night Dynamite and Friday Night Rampage . Dynamite aired live on TBS while Rampage was taped the same night and aired on tape delay on TNT on December 20. This was a minor broadcast change from the previous year, as it had aired in three-parts that included Saturday Night Collision which instead aired as a different special called Christmas Collision.

Production

Background

Holiday Bash is an annual professional wrestling Christmas television special produced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2020. While the original event only aired as a special episode of AEW's flagship program, Wednesday Night Dynamite , [2] the 2021 event expanded it to a two-part event, with the second part airing as a special episode of Friday Night Rampage (although in 2021, Rampage aired on Saturday instead of its usual Friday slot). [3] The 2023 event was then expanded to a three-part event, with the third night airing as a special episode of Saturday Night Collision , AEW's third weekly program that launched in June 2023. [4]

For the 2024 event, Holiday Bash was reduced back to two parts, airing as Dynamite and Rampage due to that week's episode of Collision airing as a different special called Christmas Collision. The event was held on December 18, 2024, from the Entertainment & Sports Arena in Washington, D.C.. Dynamite aired live on TBS while Rampage was taped the same night and aired on tape delay on December 20 on TNT. [5]

Storylines

Holiday Bash featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. [6] Storylines were produced on AEW's weekly television programs, Dynamite, Rampage, and Collision. [7]
