NXT and AEW Dynamite will both air their final episodes of live television for 2020. Both shows will center around celebrations, but for very different reasons. Following Brodie Lee's tragic death this past weekend, Tony Khan has confirmed the episode will serve as a celebration of Lee's life, complete with various members of The Dark Order teaming up with some of AEW's biggest stars.

#AEW New Year's Smash will now take place across the first 2 weeks of 2021, on January 6 + January 13 on @tntdrama. I'll announce the card for this week's #AEWDynamite Celebration of Mr. Brodie Lee's Life in a moment," Khan wrote on Monday. "Thank you to all who have shared their love for Jon this week."

That card will consist of:

  • Cody Rhodes, Orange Cassidy and 10 vs. Team Taz (Brian Cage, Ricky Starks and Powerhouse Hobbs)
  • The Young Bucks & Colt Cabana vs. Matt Hardy and Private Party
  • Hangman Page, John Silver and Alex Reynolds vs. MJF, Santana and Ortiz
  • Anna Jay and Tay Conti vs. Dr. Britt Baker and Penelope Ford
  • Lance Archer, Evil Uno and Stu Grayson vs. Eddie Kingston, The Butcher & The Blade

On the other side of the dial, this week's NXT will feature the annual NXT Year-End Awards, as well as an NXT North American Championship Match between Johnny Gargano and Leon Ruff.
