AEW Dynamite 7/9/25
Live from the Curtis Culwell Center in Arlington, Texas! Here comes the two women in the Women’s World Championship, ready to face-off tonight.
Mercedes is here. Texassssss. Say hello to your CEO. Mercedes welcomes Toni Storm to the ring. Toni appears on the tron. “Only two things come from Texas, and I am at least one of them.” Lol. Mercedes says Toni is hiding behind the screen and calls her a “mark”? Okay. Mercedes says she won’t hurt her… too bad. Storm never said she was hiding… and it’s time to hit her music.
Here comes Toni Storm, with a bottle of champagne. Mercedes proposes a toast.. a civil, toast. A toast.. to Mercedes. The future, new, seven belt Mone. Mone tastes the champagne and tells Toni the champagne was burnt. Or frozen, at one point.
Save the performative BS, Mercedes. Mercedes speaks in catchphrases, has the authenticity of a spray tan in a rainstorm, and has the emotional depth of a kiddie pool. She’s also a “something”-faced fraud. But in this belt, Storm found herself. Mercedes belts are a mask for her to hide behind. What is she so afraid of?
Mercedes says they’ve walked similar paths, but she will always be better. Mercedes isn’t afraid of anyone or anything, and she’s been to hell and back, making the devil her bitch. The more the people hate her, the more she wins. Nobody is going to stop the money train, not even Toni. Mercedes she’s the one-woman revolution, the alpha, the omega, and everything in between.
Legacies don’t exist, Mercedes. One day we will all turn to dust and be forgotten. We’re all going to die, Mercedes, don’t you get it? All that matters is one moment. The moment when she looks Toni in the eye and realizes she fears an ordinary life, but Storm fears an ordinary death. Storm believes Mercedes deserves all the titles in the world… but not this one. Mercedes will go down as the woman… who just couldn’t win the big one. Mercedes thought this was going to be civil, but it turns out she was wrong. This Sunday, wait, no, she means this Saturday… let the best woman win. Storm raises her glass and both women drink. “Eat s*, b*.” Storm takes a swing and Mercedes escapes.
Match #1. Brody King & Bandido vs. Don Callis Family
Shoulder block by Brody and Fletcher gets dropped, followed by some hard chops in the corner. Running low dropkick by Bandido, who taunts Takeshita. Takeshita asks Bandido to bring it, and he does. Fletcher low bridges Brody and follows with a suicide dive. One by Bandido. One by Fletcher. One by Takeshita. Dive by Brody! Back in the ring, Fletcher superkicks Brody before delivering a double gordbuster to Bandido. Double dropkick to Brody and a pair of knees to Bandido. Commercial time. Brody with a running avalanche in the corner and a big cannonball senton! One, two, no! Brody misses a lariat and Fletcher capitalizes with a Michinoku Driver! Both guys are down and crawl to their corner to make tags. Takeshita pops Bandido up, but Bandido counters with a snap hurricanrana! Two count. Bandido misses a corner charge and Takeshita follows up with a Helluva Kick. Running leg lariat by Fletcher. Superbomb is set up but Bandido counters with a hurricanrana off the top! Bandido grabs Fletcher in a rear naked choke over the ropes as Bandido comes off top with a frog splash! Two count as Fletcher barely breaks it up. Enziguiri to Brody and both guys are outside now. Brody tries to crossbody block Fletcher into the barricade but he moves. Helluva kick by Fletcher on the outside. Inside the ring, Bandido springboards off of Takeshita onto the top rope, and moonsaults on to Fletcher on the floor. Tornillo off the top by Bandido but Takeshita countes with an anti-air elbow! Raging Fire finishes this one.
Winners: Don Callis Family
Rating: ***1/2. Excellent tag match to kick off the show. I’m not usually a fan of the champion getting pinned in a non-title match, but this made sense in the context of the story.
The OutRunners ain’t just built for show, they’re built for go.
The Patriarchy and FTR with Stokely are here. Christian wants to help FTR, ya know, scratch each other’s back. Stokely is furious that FTR aren’t in the tag title match at All In. As far as the back scratching… we’ll see how tomorrow goes when they take on The OutRunners.
Match #2. Blake Christian vs. Ricochet
Christian starts the match with an imploding suicide dive, but the Gates of Agony show up and Ricochet dumps Christian into the steel steps from behind. Commercial time. Jumping knee by Ricochet sends Christian to the outside. Christian sneaks back in the ring and it’s a Spanish Fly to Ricochet for two. Clothesline by Ricochet and a diving cutter from the middle rope. Two count. Springboard 450 by Christian! Another two count. Christian gets distracted by Gates of Agony as he tried to fight both men off, run off their back and on to the ramp, but Ricochet shoves him off and Toa lays him out with a lariat… all behind the referee’s back. Suicide dive by Ricochet. Spirit Gun by Ricochet. Vertigo. Three count.
Winner: Ricochet
Rating: **1/2. Not much offense by Christian here, but what we saw, was very good.
Gates of Agony decide to Open the Gates for good measure.
Renee is in the back with MJF and The Hurt Syndicate. MJF says Briscoe is going to get hurt by The Syndicate, and MJF will be one step closer to getting his title back. MVP finds a note on the whiteboard, where JetSpeed reminds Shelton Benjamin that he got pinned on Saturday, and he’s going to get pinned again. Now, MJF will have to face off with Mark Briscoe solo, since they’re going to find JetSpeed.
Video package hyping up Okada and Omega IV.
It’s time to have a… Talky Talk. MJF says that phrase is the dumbest shit MJF has heard in his life. Much like the fans, Briscoe is a stupid, white trash, inbred, hick. MJF then mocks the Texas accent and says he’s going to dog walk Briscoe at All In. Getting in the ring with MJF is like throwing rocks at someone holding a machinegun. Briscoe should go take a walky walk to dumpster fire Delaware and find his meth lab, so he can feed all 900 children shoe leather and chicken feed… you pathetic poor.
Briscoe tells “Pickle” that was MJF needs is a good old country ass whoopin’. Saturday is ass whoopin’ day. Wednesday is Talky Talk day, however. Briscoe is proud to be a redneck, country boy, who’s had to work hard for every dollar he’s even put in his pocket. MJF is the rich guy in the ring? Briscoe is rich, too. Family, friends, and the good Lord above has blessed him beyond measure. MJF might be rich, but he’s bankrupt. Today’s word of the day is… bankrupt. Because MJF is morally bankrupt, and he’s got no soul. MJF is so predictable, because he’s going to talk some dumb shit about his brother to try and get him riled up, so have at it.
MJF said he would never say anything bad about Jay Briscoe. Jay Briscoe will go down as one of the greatest of all time. One of the greatest human beings of all time. There’s a special place in heaven for Jay Briscoe.
However.
MJF does pity Jay. Not because he passed away, but because while he’s in Heaven, he has to look down and see what Mark has become. Jay is probably rolling in his G D grave because Mark went from one half of DEM BOYZ to nothing more than a joke. Matter of fact, MJF wants to bet he knows exactly what Jay would say to Mark. He’d say, “Chicken, it shouldn’t have been me in that accident. It should have been you.”
Briscoe double legs MJF and ground and pounds him until The Hurt Syndicate’s music plays. JetSpeed attack Benjamin and Lashley, allowing Briscoe to drop MJF with a right hand and chase him out of the arena. The Patriarchy are here, too. Both teams work together to lay out The Hurt Syndicate, ahead of the triple threat match on Saturday!
Match #3. Four-Way for the #2 Spot in the Women’s Casino Gauntlet: Thekla vs. Megan Bayne vs. Queen Aminata vs. Tay Melo
Tay delivers some right hands to Aminata but Bayne comes from the side with a big boot. Clothesline to Amianta in the corner and an avalanche for Melo. Double avalanche to Melo and Aminata and a body slam to Aminata. Two count as Thekla is late breaking it up. Thekla tries a tornado DDT but Bayne counters it, deadlifts her into a Falcon Arrow! Melo is late to break that one up but Bayne stll gets two. Pump kick by Melo to Thekla. Lariat by Bayne to Aminata. Thekla tries a diving Code Breaker but Bayne catches her, gets her up on her shoulders, and military presses her to the floor on top of Melo and Aminata! Suicide dive by Bayne! All women are down now, as Kris Statlander watches on from the front row, unimpressed. Low kicks by Melo to Bayne and she has her up… Tay K O! Bayne quickly rolls to the outside. Thekla in now, jaws with Melo, does the spider, and hits the spear! One, two, no, as Aminata breaks it up by kicking Thekla in the back of the head. Off With Her Head by Aminata to Thekla! Penelope Ford and Anna Jay wind up taking each other out of the situation. Bayne hits the ring and blindsides Aminata, before finishing this one with the running Liger Bomb!
Winner: Megan Bayne
Rating: **3/4. A few awkward spots here but Megan Bayne just looks like such a monster. Thekla had her moments but you’d have to think her run since she debuted has been underwhelming.
Thekla is being interviewed in the back as Amianta attacks her and their story continues.
Match #4. Samoa Jos vs. Wheeler Yuta
Yuta wants a test of strength and Joe laughs at him before clearly winning. Jabs by Joe before sending Yuta to the apron. Yuta springboards in and Joe walks off, but Yuta dropkicks him and Joe rolls to the floor. Plancha by Yuta.. and Joe walks off again as we go to commercial. Both guys trading right hands until Joe cuts Yuta off with a running back elbow. Joe thinks Muscle Buster but Yuta goes to the eyes and comes off the middle rope with a shotgun dropkick. Suicide dive by Yuta on the outside and a flying elbow off the top back inside the ring. Manhattan drop by Joe, high boot, and a senton. Two count. Yuta goes to the eyes of Joe and tries for an O’Connor roll, but Joe kicks out the legs and locks in the Kokina Clutch for the quick tap!
Winner: Samoa Joe
Rating: **1/2. Acceptable match here, but Yuta didn’t get in a heck of a lot of offense. Which is okay, too, because Joe is Joe and Joe does Joe things.
Joe barely has a chance to celebrate as Gabe Kidd hits the ring and blasts him from behind. Powerhouse Hobbs and Shibata hit the ring to make the save, which leads us right into our main event.
Match #5. Hangman Page, Will Ospreay, & The Opps vs. The Young Bucks & The Death Riders
Hangman goes right at Matthew Jackson with right hands and a big boot. Nicholas drops Hangman over the top throat-first. Double back elbow by Matt and Nick and Hangman rolls to the outside, as Ospreay springboards in with a double crossbody. Handspring kick takes out both guys. Delayed dropkick in the corner by Shibata and a half-and-half throw. Powerslam by Hobbs on Nicholas as Ospreay comes in and hits a Phoenix Splash off the back of Hobbs! Two count as Moxley breaks it up. Brawl now as everyrone gets involved, and Hangman moonsaults off the top rope to the floor! Commercial break. Claudio clears the apron but posts himself and Ospreay makes the tag to Hangman. Hangman with a big boot to Matthew and a double jump lariat go Moxley. Fall away slam to Matthew and a kip up. Plancha to the floor by Hangman but Claudio holds the leg to he can’t hit the Buckshot, so instead, he moonsaults on Claudio from the apron. Big boot to Nicholas and a pop-up powerbomb to Matthew. Two count. Blind tag to Claudio but Hobbs gets the tag, too. MEATTTTTT. Clotheslines by Claudio but Hobbs rebounds with a huge body block. Clothesline in the corner and some forever clotheslines. Straps coming down as Moxley hits the ring. Lariat by Hobbs and a tag to Shibata. Running boot to Claudio in the corner and machine gun chops! Shibata escapes a suplex and locks in the sleeper. Kick to the back but Claudio catches the PK, allowing Nicholas to superkick him. Hangman in with a Deadeye attempt to Nicholas but Matthew superkicks him. Superkick Party to a kneeling Hangman. Ospreay in now with some superkicks of his own. Ospreay backflips over the Bucks but eats a double superkick. Superkick to Hobbs on the apron, into the arms of Moxley and Claudio, who powerbomb Hobbs through a table on the floor! EVP Trigger to Shibata! Neutralizer by Claudio and Moxley locks in the Bulldog Choke. Shibata is out!
Winners: The Young Bucks & The Death Riders
Rating: ***1/2. This one ruled and it was filled top to bottom with star power. There were a few mini storylines in this one, too, but Hangman and Moxley were your focus.
Gabe Kidd and Wheeler Yuta hit the ring and the good guy are in trouble. Moxley has the big chain wrapped around Hangman’s neck. Ospreay tries to make the save but the numbers are too much. Plastic bags are out and they want to murder Ospreay and Hangman. Until… Swerve shows up on the tron. Swerve is in a giant claw machine and destroys the Bucks limo! Joe comes back and he evens the odds as Joe, Ospreay, and Shibata stand tall. Swerve, meanwhile, completely dismantles the limo and says.. who’s house? Discus lariat by Hangman and he’s ready for the Buckshot but Claudio intervenes with a European uppercut! Hangman has the chain but Marina pulls Moxley to safety.
“How are we going to financially recover from this!?” Matthew and Nicholas as they survey the damage of the limousine as we head out. Wait, Swerve stomps both guys off the claw in the back and NOW we head out.
Final Thoughts: There’s so much wrestling on this week, I can’t really call this a go-home show knowing we’ve got a full, live, episode of Collision tomorrow night. That said, this show did help set the table for Mercedes Mone and Toni Storm, as well as Hangman and Moxley. 7.75/10.Â
