AEW Dynamite Review 31.7.2025.
The Outrunners vs The Young Bucks Forbidden Door Tag Team Championship Eliminator Tournament.
This was a stripped back awesome affair. It was stripped back, because The Young Bucks are still getting completely mugged off. No entrance, and no dignity. You love to see it. I had fun watching this. The physicality was quick, and slick, and helped move things along. The Bucks got the win, and later on in the broadcast teased facing FTR ( again ). Also Can I please have more Stokeley Hathaway on my TV please. Swerve stopped Okada from beating down the best Tag Team in the game. Everything should be given to The Outrunners.
Mark Briscoe Segment.
Just belt this man up already. Mark was fired up to face Ricochet later on, but he's more focused on MJF. Ricochet reminded him to get focused. I liked this. Renee Paquette here was great.
MJF Segment.
The Hurt Syndicate is slowly becoming The No Homers Club, by becoming the No Max's club. Max let this be a lesson to you. Don't buy cheap knock off Rolex's from Temu. More on Max later. Yeah. Shelton was pissed.
Christian Cage Segment.
I loved this. As the themes of Entitlement. Revenge. Death, and disownment played from Christians words. I couldn't help but think of the fact that he's a fascinating parasite. Yes he's an asshole, but he's a nice asshole, that at one time was obsessed with becoming a champion. He played out his dis pleasure of Moma Wayne, whilst talking through his history with Adam Copeland. The new Patriarchy then attacked Cage, by giving him a standing Steel Chair Concerto. This was great. I love Tony Schiavone.
Hangman Adam Page vs Jon Moxley AEW World Heavyweight Championship.
This was a majestic gold Match. From it's slow, and lethargic start, both men having a chopfest. Mox playing Skin games with Hangmans back. When this Match began. I struggled to get into this, and this was a shame, because the opening stages for any Championship Match are vital, when it comes to fan engagement, but these two managed to pull things around. We got Deadeye's on announcers tables. A flying Darby Allin, taking out The Deathriders from his very expensive Boxseats. Hangman kicking out of a belt shot from Mox, after it was brought into play from Marina Shafir. This gave birth to the final exchanges, allowing Hangman to get the win, after a Deadeye, and. Buckshot combo. Hangman would have a segment with MJF later on, and call him a coward. Mark Briscoe vs MJF vs Hangman Adam Page for Forbidden Door. yes please. This booking has a very high ceiling if this happens.
Athena And Billy Starkz vs Alex Windsor And Timeless Toni Storm.
This Match was a victim of it's circumstances. It needed more time to breathe. Do better AEW. Athena, and. Billy got the win, when Athena pinned Toni. This can be seen two ways. It's a good way of throwing fans, for when this Match happens. and the other way. It could overshadow what might becoming around the corner.
Willow Nightingale Segment.
Willow Nightingale will face Thekla on Collision this week. I might give this a watch. I won't be able to review because I have a lot still to do, but, yeah this sounds great.
Ricochet vs Mark Briscoe.
With their Stretcher Match from Double Or Nothing being in my list of favourite Matches this year, I had high hopes going into this Match, and they weren't met. Yes, this was a solid run through, with superb physicality. I've just seen these two have better Matches. Mark got the win with the Jay driver. The aftermath was excellent. Mark cut a promo calling out MJF, and needing help from his fallen family to help get him through this. Max showed up on the big screen, and told Mark in the most insulting way possible, that he will meet him next week for a Match, but that's if he makes it? This allowed Max to attack Mark from behind, because this was all a roose. The big question is now aimed at Hangman. Is Max a coward. Max beat Mark down, leaving Hangman to make the save as the show went off the air.
Overview of AEW Dynamite.
I liked this weeks show. The run in going towards Forbidden Door is starting to shape, and it's looking quite exciting. It's now full steam ahead to London.
This Weeks AEW Dynamite is a very high 7/10.
