AEW is kicking off 2027 with a special two-night event.

The promotion announced today that New Year’s Smash 2027 will be held in Atlanta on January 1-2. It begins with a special Friday episode of Dynamite on New Year’s Day, with a New Year’s Smash edition of Collision then following on January 2. Both shows are being held at The Gateway Center Arena in College Park, Georgia.

Mercedes Mone, Persephone, The New Level, and Kevin Knight are featured on AEW’s advertising graphic for the show. The general public on-sale date for tickets is next Friday (October 30).

New Year’s Smash has been an annual event for AEW since 2021, taking place either at the very end or very beginning of the year. The 2025 edition was held in Omaha, Nebraska with Willow Nightingale defeating Mone in the main event.
