As AEW’s Worlds End looms on the horizon, the company has packed its Zero Hour pre-show with three tantalizing matches guaranteed to hype up fans before the main card kicks off. From Toni Storm’s “debut” to Jeff Jarrett swinging guitars, the action promises to start with a bang.
Toni Storm vs. Leila Grey: A Storm of Optimism
In what she claims is her real AEW debut, Toni Storm faces Leila Grey in a singles match. Fresh off her “return” during Winter Is Coming, Storm seems to be living in her own cinematic universe, embracing her new identity with a mix of glamour and chaos.
Leila Grey, however, is out to spoil the premiere. Despite a winless 2024, Grey has honed her craft in ROH and NJPW, and she’s hungry for a breakout moment. Can Storm’s old-Hollywood confidence weather the storm that Grey hopes to unleash?
Top Flight, The Outrunners, and Eight-Man Chaos
The Martin brothers, Dante and Darius, continue their ongoing battle with Lio Rush and Action Andretti, but this time it’s a full-blown eight-man tag match. Rush and Andretti have recruited heavy hitters from The Don Callis Family—Brian Cage and Lance Archer, aka The Murder Machines.
Thankfully, Top Flight has found some high-energy allies in The Outrunners, self-proclaimed “Youngest Men Alive.” With athleticism, chaos, and maybe some flippy moves galore, this match could easily steal the Zero Hour spotlight.
Jeff Jarrett vs. QT Marshall: Guitars, Grudges, and Glory
The King of the Mountain is back! Jeff Jarrett steps into the ring for the first time since September, taking on QT Marshall. The bad blood stems from Jay Lethal’s victory over Marshall at ROH Final Battle, where Jarrett’s guitar made its presence felt.
Marshall isn’t thrilled about Jarrett “sticking his nose (and guitar)” in his business and has demanded this showdown. Expect trash talk, sneaky tactics, and maybe a guitar shot or two before the dust settles.
