Jacksonville has a strong connection to Blood & Guts. The first Blood & Guts took place on May 5, 2021 at Daily’s Place, also in Jacksonville. The Pinnacle faced The Inner Circle in the first-ever Blood & Guts match that night.
Last year, on November 12, 2025, the special was held at First Horizon Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina. The 2025 show marked a major format change, with AEW running both men’s and women’s Blood & Guts matches on the same night for the first time.
The event now returns to Jacksonville for the first time since its debut. It remains to be seen which rivalities AEW will choose for the two Blood & Guts matches this year.
