It's Christmas Eve! What better way to spend it than watching wrestling together?

Doug made the bold choice to prioritize family over grappling, which means Tim is flying solo on this holiday episode of Elite Heat. Coming out of AEW Dynamite, there's plenty to break down about the Continental Classic, and the road to Worlds End.

Tim dives into:

• Konosuke Takeshita reaching the Continental Classic semifinals and what it signals for AEW’s future
• Gabe Kidd vs. Darby Allin and why that match will be uncomfortable in all the right ways
• FTR vs. the Bang Bang Gang in a Chicago Street Fight and why the rivalry still works
• What AEW should do with Roderick Strong moving forward
• The Worlds End main event and the smartest possible outcome
• The state of the AEW Women’s Tag Team Titles
• Marina Shafir: good concept, uneven execution
• “Jungle” Jack Perry breaking out moves we’ve never seen before

Grab a drink, hide from your relatives, and spend Christmas Eve talking wrestling with us.
