'''Spring BreakThru''' was a two-part [professional wrestling](/source/professional_wrestling) [television special](/source/television_special) produced by [All Elite Wrestling](/source/All_Elite_Wrestling) (AEW). It took place on April 16 and 17, 2025, at the [MGM Music Hall at Fenway](/source/MGM_Music_Hall_at_Fenway) in [Boston, Massachusetts](/source/Boston%2C_Massachusetts), encompassing the broadcasts of ''[Wednesday Night Dynamite](/source/AEW_Dynamite)'' and a special Thursday airing of ''[Collision](/source/AEW_Collision)'', the latter being preempted from its usual Saturday night time slot to accommodate [TNT](/source/NHL_on_TNT) coverage of the [Stanley Cup Playoffs](/source/2025_Stanley_Cup_Playoffs). Both programs aired [live](/source/Live_television), with ''Dynamite'' on April 16 on [TBS](/source/TBS_(American_TV_channel)) in the United States and ''Collision'' on April 17 on [TNT](/source/TNT_(American_TV_network)), also in the United States, with both shows also [simulcast](/source/simulcast) on the [streaming service](/source/streaming_service) [Max](/source/Max_(streaming_service)).
A total of 12 matches were held across both nights, with five on ''Dynamite'' and seven on ''Collision''. In the main event of ''Dynamite'', [The Opps](/source/The_Opps) ([Samoa Joe](/source/Samoa_Joe), [Powerhouse Hobbs](/source/Powerhouse_Hobbs), and [Katsuyori Shibata](/source/Katsuyori_Shibata)) defeated the [Death Riders](/source/Death_Riders) ([Claudio Castagnoli](/source/Claudio_Castagnoli), [Wheeler Yuta](/source/Wheeler_Yuta), and interim title holder [Jon Moxley](/source/Jon_Moxley)) to win the [AEW World Trios Championship](/source/AEW_World_Trios_Championship), while in the main event of ''Collision'', [Kris Statlander](/source/Kris_Statlander) and [Julia Hart](/source/Julia_Hart_(wrestler)) defeated [Mercedes Moné](/source/Mercedes_Mon%C3%A9) and [Harley Cameron](/source/Harley_Cameron). The ''Dynamite'' broadcast was also notable for the AEW debut of former two-time [Impact World Champion](/source/Impact_World_Champion) [Josh Alexander](/source/Josh_Alexander_(wrestler)), and the ''Dynamite'' broadcast was the 289th episode of the program, making it the longest-running prime time weekly pro-wrestling program in [Turner Sports](/source/TNT_Sports_(United_States)) history, surpassing the former [World Championship Wrestling](/source/World_Championship_Wrestling)'s ''[Monday Nitro](/source/WCW_Monday_Nitro)'', which had 288 episodes.
