The 2023 Winter Is Coming was the fourth annual Winter Is Coming professional wrestling television special produced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The event took place on December 13 and 16, 2023. While the prior three events only aired as a special episode of Wednesday Night Dynamite, the 2023 event expanded Winter Is Coming to a three-part special, also encompassing Friday Night Rampage and Saturday Night Collision. Dynamite aired live on December 13 on TBS and was held at the College Park Center in Arlington, Texas, while Rampage was taped that same night and aired on tape delay on December 15 on TNT. Collision aired live on December 16 on TNT and was held at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas, the same location as the 2021 and 2022 events.
A total of 17 matches were contested across the three broadcasts; six aired live on Dynamite with four taped for Rampage, and then seven aired live on Collision. In the main event of the Dynamite broadcast, Jon Moxley defeated Swerve Strickland in a Gold League match of the AEW Continental Classic tournament. The event also saw a special appearance by members of the Von Erich family (Kevin and his sons Marshall and Ross), with Marshall and Ross having their AEW debut match on the Rampage broadcast. In the main event of the Rampage broadcast, Top Flight (Dante Martin and Darius Martin) and Action Andretti defeated Komander, El Hijo del Vikingo, and Penta El Zero Miedo. In the main event of the Collision broadcast, Bryan Danielson defeated Brody King in a Blue League match of the AEW Continental Classic tournament.
