AEW New Year's Smash

AEW New Year's Smash is a yearly professional wrestling event made by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The event started in 2021 and is usually held around the end of the year as their New Year special. The events air as special episodes of AEW's television shows Dynamite and Rampage. 

The first event was originally supposed to take place on December 30, 2020, and end on January 6, 2021 but the event was pushed back a week. Instead, the Brodie Lee Celebration of Life event took it's place to honour the memory of AEW wrestler Brodie Lee who died on December 26.
