Winter Is Coming (2020) was a professional wrestling show made by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). It took place on December 2, 2020 at the Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida. The event aired as a special episode of Dynamite. It was the first Winter Is Coming event held by AEW.

The main event of the show saw Kenny Omega defeat Jon Moxley to become the new AEW World Champion. During the match, Omega became a heel after Don Callis got up from the commentary booth and distracted Jon Moxley. When Moxley turned around, Omega hit him in the head with a microphone and got the pinfall victory to become the new champion.[1]

The event also saw the AEW debut of Sting. Sting came out after Darby Allin's match and saved him from a beatdown by Team Taz. Sting was announced to have signed a multi-year contract with AEW afterwards.[2]
