AEW Dynamite Review 27.2.2025.

Adam Copeland Segment.

Adam Copeland showed up to the arena in the back of an ambulance. I have my thoughts on what transpired later on. And there not good.

MJF Segment.

Last Summer was just a rouse, because MJF was seen backstage getting his AEW Tattoo removed, and saying that the only thing he now believes in is himself. This morphed into Hangman Adam Page turning up to the arena, and battering Aaron Solo in our opening Match. In the aftermath he took a microphone, and a steelchair, and went into business, by calling out MJF. Max came out and cut a stereotypical MJF Promo on Hangman, but with a twist, he was carrying a bloody rag, it turned out he had beaten up Christopher Daniels. Hangman rushed to the aid of his mentor, and later on in the broadcast he told Renee Paquette, in no certain words that's going Kill Max. I liked all of this.

Will Osperay vs Brian Keith.

I liked this. Was it the best Will Osperay I have ever seen? No, but it was damn entertaining, and a great blend of styles. The in ring work was excellent, the near falls were well timed, and the physicality made for good storybeats. Will got the win with his hidden blade finisher. Kyle Fletcher who was sat in a nice looking VIP Box, with Damn Don Callis, then had a pull apart brawl on the stairs, in and amongst the fans. This. Was. A great way to end the segment. I know there was a Chris Jericho Segment before this, and if i'm honest. It made me do my best Steve Carrell impersonation. No no no

Mercedes Mone Segment.

Mercedes Mone got threatened backstage by Komo wantanabe, with the aid of Billy Starks. Billy Starks in AEW, i'm all for this.

The Outrunners vs The Murder Machines.

The Outrunners got the win, and will now face The Hurt Syndicate at a later date for the Tag Team Titles, thanks to a awful WWE trope, but if i'm honest do I care? No, not really because the outrunners are going to be the next AEW Tag Team Champions. BECAUSE IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE OUTRUNNERS.

Swerve Strickland Segment.

I loved this. As Black History month comes to an end. The former AEW World Heavyweight Champion spoke about the history that he's made, from walking through the doors of AEW at Revolution 2022, to becoming Champion 2 years later. He said that he wants to get back on track, and win Gold, but first he has to deal with Jeffrey Dalmer, in mean Ricochet., because there done when he says so. This brought out Ricochet, who fired back, and says that he will not face Swerve, at any point, this was when Prince Nana stepped in, and said that earlier in the day, he had a conversation with Tony Khan, and if these two face each other, the winner will be the No1 Contender for the AEW World Championship. Dalmer agreed, and the Match was set for Revolution. Nana had words with Swerve after Ricochet had left the stage, and told him to get his act together, and bring his robe back, because if he doesn't then he's done. This. Was, by far the best segment of the night.

Ther Undisputed Kingdom vs FTR and Daniel Garcia.

I liked this. The action was as slick as I thought it would, and the ending came out of nowhere. Adam Cole got the win, by rolling up Garcia, after a piledriver attempt.

Adam Copeland Segment Part 2.

I hated this, but it's not for the reason you might think. Adam found Claudio, after that Vingnette aired with Claudio saying that he was going to hunt him down. Both men thought through the fans. Wheeler Yuta tried to get involved, and just as Both men had Adam down and out. Jay White makes the save. Marina Shafir comes  out, and climbs on Adam, this is were things get murky. Copeland gives Claudio a steel chair concerto, and threatens to do the same to Marina, but instead Willow Nightingale does the job for him. Mox watches as he can't do anything. This made me feel sick. In our year of 2025, we have a man towering over a helpless woman with a Steel Chair. I know that this wasn't dv, but in reality AEW need to be careful when doing things like this. Over here in the UK, and in America domestic violence cases rise during sport shows, so showing something like this on TV can be problematic. I hate Violence against Women, and I don't think this was a good idea. Be careful AEW. This did sour my enjoyment of the show. Were not in the year 1999.

Harley Cameron vs Deonna Purrazzo.

Harley Cameron, beat. Deonna Purrazzo, in what was a solid outing from both ladies.

Konosuke Takeshista vs Orange Cassidy AEW International Championship

I loved this. The flow was solid, and the in ring work was great, from sunglasses fun, to both men having awesome movesets, that counteracted with the physicality, and storytelling of the Match. Takeshista got the win, and will now face Kenny Omega at Revolution for the International Championship. Now I don't know about you guys, but I think Revolution is starting to look rather tasty isn't it?

Overview of AEW Dynamite.

Overall this weeks Dynamite was decent, but the act of near violence towards a female, did ruin part of my enjoyment. Now don't get me wrong. I get that this is wrestling, but I do feel that AEW went a bit to far on this ocassion, however the promos were great, and the in-ring work followed the same pattern.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is a high 7/10.
