AEW Blood & Guts
AEW Blood & Guts is an annual professional wrestling television special produced by the American promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2021. The event airs mid-year as a special episode of the promotion's flagship weekly television program, Wednesday Night Dynamite; it originally aired on TNT in 2021, but has aired on TBS since 2022. The concept of the event comes from the Blood and Guts match, which is AEW's version of the classic WarGames match in which two teams fight inside a roofed cell structure that surrounds two rings placed side-by-side. Each main event match of the card is contested under the Blood and Guts stipulation.

The event returned in 2022, which moved it back to June, with the 2023 event held in July. Beginning with the 2022 event, a special episode of Friday Night Rampage titled Royal Rampage has been taped in conjunction with the Blood & Guts special.
