5 Biggest Winners & Losers From AEW In 2025

10. Loser: Jeff Jarrett

At the very beginning of 2025, Jeff Jarrett made an announcement regarding his future at AEW Dynamite: Fight for the Fallen. He stated that he was re-signing with All Elite Wrestling and would go on one last run, aiming to win the AEW World Championship in the process.

A single win on Collision over the company's resident jobber, Aaron Solo, was all he managed to actually accomplish, losing a Casino Gauntlet match and a match against Claudio Castagnoli before no longer wrestling at all the entire rest of the year.

To say you're going for the top prize in the company, only to be pushed completely out of the title hunt less than a month later and do nothing but Zero Hour and Saturday Tailgate Brawl pre-show panel analysis for the next eleven months is as much of a failure as one can get.

If this were done due to injuries, that one be one thing, but Jarrett has wrestled four other times this year for other promotions, meaning AEW just quickly decided not to do that storyline, even with the retirement angle.

Is this just the end for The Last Outlaw?
