AEW Dynamite Review 30.1.2025.

   Intro. 

In just over two weeks, AEW will be heading Down Under, for the 1st time, but as they say goodday for the 1st time, the gaping holes, in their creative is becoming more, and, more evidant. Tony Khan has said, that he has gone back into the weeds of his own Company's creative, and I think this is a good idea. Back in late 2019, he made the decision, to cut down his creative team, because, he felt like their was two many cooks, ruining good meals, this has needed to happen, for quite some time, and. I welcome this change.

Will Osperay vs Brian Cage.

I liked this. As an opening Match, this worked, from. Damn It Don Callis taking to the mic, and showing Will footage of a battered Kenny Omega backstage. Will sold the look of confliction perfectly, as the fast paced fluidity of the Match, took centre stage. This. Was. A perfect look, at how you book, differant sizes. It's not an easy thing to do, and both men made this look easy. Will got the win, after an awesome final exchange. Lance Archer, beat Will down in the aftermath, leading Kenny to make the save, ( as if by magic ) but, the numbers game caught up with him, as The Don Callis took him bown as well. Am I the only one, who thinks that Kenny Omega is like wrestling's answer to Jean Claude Van Damme?

Hangman Adam Page And MJF Segment.

Renee Paquette tried to get a word with Swerve Strickland, but instead, she found a frantic Hangman Adam Page, she tried to get a word with him, but he was more interested in squiring up to MJF. Renee tried to speak to Max, but all he said was, that he had an offer for Jeff Jarrett, that he can't pass up.

Powerhouse Hobbs Segment.

Ok, i'm now scared of Powerhouse Hobbs, I think he just threatened to Murder Big Bill, on live TV.

Claudio Castagnoli vs Jeff Jarrett.

I have mixed feelings about this Match. On one side, the Match had good physicality, but it also had a dodgy finish, as Moxley, and his crew helped Claudio get the win, when Claudio gave Jeff two immobilisers. He was left in the centre of the ring, and then in comes my other mind, out comes MJF, and this restored my faith with his promo. Jeff got back to his feet, and. Max knocked him back down, when he punched him, with a stiff right, that was balanced out with the Dynamite Gold Ring. And all he said was this. He respects his elders, but he told Jeff, that this would happen. This. Was. A real Mix-bag.

Ricochet vs AR Fox.

This. Match. Was a lofi burner, that reminded me, that sometimes, you need Matches like this on a broadcast. Ricochet got the win, and then nearly embraced his inner Jeffrey Dalmer, and brought out his scissors. Swerve stopped this from happening.

Learning Tree Segment.

I have two thoughts on this segment, my first one is this. Jericho's new movie looks awful, and this is coming from a big Horror. Sci Fi, and. Comic Book fan, and the other one is that. Tony Khan must be paying The Olsen Twins a boat load of money, to use the term. New York Minute. Chris Jericho, and. Big Bill vs The Outrunners on Collision, should be fun though.

Jay White vs Wheeler Yuta.

Even though some of this Match was a bit of a stagnant affair. I do also think that this Match was an interesting mental game of chess, that was actually quite enthralling, when you dig beneath the surface. Jay got the win with his Bladerunner finisher, he was then greated by Moxley, and his crew, he was attacked by Claudio. Rated FTR made the save, and. Dax Harwood took to the mic, he spoke about his idol one half of The Rock'n Roll Express. Dennis Condry who was in attendence, and then challenged The Deathriders to a Mid south Street Fight on this weeks Collision. I like this development.

Marieh May Segment.

This. Was. Excellent. Renee Paquette, got to have a few words with Marieh May. And from awkward swearing, to getting to the point. May cut down Toni Storm in the only way she could, with Visceral nastiness, and, humiliation, embrace her everyone, because she's our AEW womens champion. This. Was excellent.

The Gunns Are Coming Back.

The Gunns are coming back, oh yay, oh joy. The Gunns are coming back. I can't wait. In the words of Homer simpson. If you can't tell. I'm being sarcastic.

Taya And Deonna Segment.

I might have hated this segment. I love the fact that these two were dressed up like Neo from The Matrix.

Mercedes Mone vs Yuka Sakazaki AEW TBS Championship Match.

I liked this Match, but It shouldn't have main evented, the Match had a solid flow, that allowed the Match to breathe. Both ladies showcased each others momentum, this gave the Match a main focus, and it was great to see. Mercedes retained, after a great final exchange. The near falls were well placed. It's just a shame that these ladies didn't open the show.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

Even though this weeks Dynamite, did showcase its gaping holes, for the world to see. I did have a good time watching it. But the big question is this. Can AEW fill in, and fix their gaping holes, and problems? At this time. I remain positive, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is a solid 7/10.
