Julia Hart defended the TBS Championship at AEW Worlds End for the third time since winning the title at AEW Full Gear against one of the most unique characters in professional wrestling, Abadon. Before the match even got fully underway, the crowd in Nassau Coliseum began chanting "this is spooky!"

After a stare down, the two competitors met in the center of the ring for a collar and elbow tie up. Abadon hits Hart with a cutter and a bunch of lariats in the corner. Hart moves to the other side and Abadon continues their assault on Hart with a splash and even more lariats. They attempt to splash into Hart again but Hart moves out of the way. The TBS Champion fires back momentarily but Abadon rains down right hands. Hart reverses into the crucifix but Abadon kicks out. Hart takes control over the match, suplexing Abadon on the outside of the ring onto the floor. Hart heads back into the ring waiting for the count to begin for a count out.
