AEW Dynamite Review 13.3.2025

Intro.

With Revolution now in the rearview mirror, it's all about the spinning plate trick, when it comes to how AEW book there week to week tv product, heading into the next PPV in over a month. Since the turn of this year. I have been enjoying AEW's tv output. As the industry has seen dramatic changes, over the past few months. I feel the time is now, to make their stamp, and make it loud.

Kenny Omega Segment.

I love this man. The best bout machine is back. He's happy to be cleared, and he couldn't have done it without the support of the AEW doctors, and fans, he thanked Takeshista for pushing him, and Will Osperay for being his friend. He left us with a due, as the International Championship Elimination Tournament begins tonight. This left him, and me with an air of excitement, because he wants to face the best. This segment was excellent.

The Opps vs Local Enhancements.

The Opps, beat some Local Enhancements in a flat squash Match, that had me thinking, why was this on the card?

Swerve Strickland Segment.

This was a decent interwinding segment. Strickland explained his actions for the end of Revolution, and left us with the thought of him taking back what he won a year ago, making history in the process. Adam Copeland came into shot, and said that he's not done with Moxley. Jon  answered this back later on, and Jay White gave us his thoughts later on in the broadcast. I did like this, but I want this storyline to be done with, if i'm being honest. The Street Fight next week should be interesting.

Hologram And Powerhouse Hobbs vs Brian Cage And Dralistico.

I liked this. Hobbs got the win for his team. I had fun watching this at 7am in the morning. From Harley Cameron cosplaying as a version of a Power Ranger, and. Brian Cage powerlifting Hologram, and back chucking him like a wet towel. This. Was. A decent, fun, TV Match.

The Hurt Syndicate Segment.

The Hurt Syndicate were seen gloating after Sunday Night, and the only thing that ran through my mind was this. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE OUTRUNNERS. I think it's clear that The Hurt Syndicate never take a day off.

Timeless Toni Storm Segment.

I liked this. The Tramp is still the champ. Complete with Stitches, and. Staples, and glass in her arse, she's honoured to be the AEW womens Champion, she put over the locker room, and reminded everyone that she isn't a cat, she's Timeless Toni Storm, and just after that Megan Bayne attacked her.

International Championship Elimination Tournament The Beast Mortas vs Speedball Mike Bailey.

I'm so excited to see Speedball Mike Bailey in AEW. This Match was an excellent balance of styles. This was perfectly booked, and a great watch. Bailey got the win, and advances to the four way next week. Mike Bailey in AEW, now that just makes sense.

Christian Cage Segment

Christian Cage told Renee Paquette, that due to her being married to Jon Moxley, he didn't want to talk to her, it was at this point that he made up excuses, and cried like a big baby, to the point that Nick Wayne clapped back at his dad. This would cause tension within the family. to the point that father and son were nose to nose. Kip Sabian walked away as Nick wayne's mum, who's got it going on, just looked purplexed.

MJF Segment.

From backstage stage footage of him smashing a mirror last Sunday, to his promo that came next. This. Was the highlight of the night. This. Was narcasism at the highest degree. He said that he's smarter than all of Hangman Adam Page's fans, and that business with the cowboy is far from over. It was here when MVP walked out. This segment then got elevated to great levels. He spoke about their past, and how they have history together. MVP said that he was proud of Max, but then he said that he wasn't, because he's not showing any anger. No one feared him in the back, because he's lost his edge. It was here when MVP gave Max his card, only for Max to rebuff it, he then told his former mentor, that he doesn't need him, because he's MJF, he ran through his achievements, and MVP gave him his card again, as the segment ended. MJf would have an awesome encounter with Hangman Adam Page later on. I loved all of this.

Max Castor Open Challenge.

Max got battered after he ran his mouth too much to Konosuke Takeshista. That's what happens when you bring up Kenny Omega.

Chris Jericho Segment. 

I hated all of this. It was embarressing. Chris Jericho does Shakespear. Oh boy.

Willow Nightingale vs Penelope Ford.

Willow Nightingale, beat. Penelope Ford, in what was a solid Match. Ford tried to attack Willow in the aftermath. Kris Statlander made the save, and was then cleaned out by Megan Bayne.

Mercedes Mone Segment.

Mercedes Mone vs Billy Starks at a later date, yes please AEW, book it Tony. I really want to see this Match.

Will Osperay Segment.

I think Will Osperay is the most likable man in Pro Wrestling. He sold the act of war perfectly, walking down to the ring with a limp. He spoke about the act of lying to his mrs, and breaking promises. He wants Gold, at All In, and will enter the Owen Hart Tournament to get his shot at All in, and he doesn't care who he faces to get there. This was excellent.

Orange Cassidy vs Hechicero International Championship Eliminator Tournament.

I don't know what to think of this, yes the Match was good, but I felt that something was missing from this. Cassidy got the win, and is now in the four way next week, with the winner facing Kenny Omega at Dynasty.

Overview of AEW Dynamite.

I liked this broadcast, it went from marginely fine, to great. The in-ring work was good, but the promos stole the show. This weeks Dynamite is the very definition of setting up the spinning plate trick, and it's made me very excited for the company going forward.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is a high 7/10.
