AEW Dynamite Review 15.5.2025.

Will Osperay Ans Hangman Adam Page vs Konosuke Takeshita and Josh Alexander.

I liked this. The Matches within the Match were made to look like an excellent selling point, and the flying action moulded in perfectly with the can they co exist storyline. Hangman and Will got the win, after a fantastic final series of exchanges, that included them getting their wires crossed. That buckshot, and hidden blade combo looked awesome. This was a fantastic opener.

Top Flight Segment.

Top Flight said that they want MJF, and that their going to beat The Hurt Syndicate, this impressed Dustin Rhodes who said that him and Sammy will be watching.

Ricochet vs Zack Gowen.

Zack Gowen is a true inspiration, the way he handles himself is nothing short of class. He's the definition of the phrase you can anything if you put your mind to it. Zack wrestles effortlessly as an amputee, and this makes me smile. I grew up with massive learning issues, and i've had to work hard to over come a lot of my issues, so seeing someone like Zack work hard, makes me think I can do it. Ricochet may have got the win here, but overall this was a win for all of us who's struggled in life.

Top Flight vs The Hurt Syndicate, and everything else.

Top Flight lost to The Hurt Syndicate, in a suprisning competitive Match, and then came the malet. Dustin Rhodes, and. Sammy Guevara came out, and guess what? They want tag team gold, and then out came Crew, and guess what? They also want tag team gold, so MVP said that if you guys face each other on Collision, the winner will get a AEW tag team championship shot at Double Or Nothing. MVP then took on the role of a TV pressenter, and said that they'll give Max his answer after the break. When they returned from the break MVP called Max out, but he was playing a game of hide and seek. Shelton went to hunt him down, and he was found behind Tony Khan. Max came out to the ring, and he was given what he wanted, three thumbs up, so he's in, and he hurts people. Next week their will be a contract signing, and Max wants his lawyer Smart Mark Sterling ( oh boy) to look things over, this left MVP feeling a bit purplexed. I didn't like this. It all felt a bit convoluted, and way to long.

Timeless Toni Storm vs AZM vs Mina Shirakowa vs Skye Blue Womens Championship Title Eliminator.

I liked this. The energetic bursts from all four ladies sold the physicality, which gave way for the Match to have time to breathe. Mina got the win and will face Timeless Toni at Double Or Nothing. Also it's great to see Skye Blue back.

RIP Sabu.

Excalibur, and. Taz then paid tribute to Sabu, who sadly passed away this past Sunday. Taz was nearly in tears, as he said goodbye to his friend, this was well handled.

Nigel Mcguiness Segment.

Nigel Mcguiness then had an in-ring interview with Tony Schiavone. He asked for Daniel Garcia to come out to the ring, and he apologised to Daniel for costing him his Match against Dax Harwood. Danny said that he doesn't care for his apology, because he was just standing for himself. Stokeley Hathaway then came out, and verbally laid into Nigel.  Saying that he wouldn't stand a chance against FTR, because he couldn't beat sepsis. The punishment for him should be a Match against FTR. Dax and Cash then beat down Both Nigel and Daniel, leaving Daddy Magic to make the save. I didn't like this. It just felt a bit all over the place. Collision on Dynamite sorry this wasn't for me.

Jon Moxley vs Samoa Joe Steel Cage

I liked this. From the blood stained carnage that became the epicentre of the story of the Match, the solid physicality. The Deathriders getting kept out of the cage, and decked by Powerhouse Hobbs, and. Willow Nightingale, both men having some great counteractions, to Gabe Kidd making his alliance in a Newcastle United hoodie ( bad choice mate I'm an Arsenal supporter ) to Mox and his crew, by handing Mox the briefcase so he could lay Joe out for the win. This was just the start of the chaos, as The Young Bucks came out. Willow and Hobbs were taken out. Kenny Omega came out, and was instantly attacked by his former friends as Gabe Kidd shouted did you think that I forgot as he laid his boot in Kenny's face. Swerve Strickland then came out, as the chaos came to an end, he took to the mic, and declared this years Anarchy In The Arena. Swerve Strickland. Kenny Omega. Powerhouse Hobbs. Samoa Joe, and. Willow Nightingale vs Jon Moxley. Marina Shafir. The Young Bucks, and. Gabe Kidd, this sounds awfully insane in a good way, and I can't wait to see how it unfolds.

Overview of this weeks AEW Dynamite.

Even though some moments didn't match up to AEW Standards that they've rebuilt in recent months. I did enjoy this weeks Show, as the in ring work made for up for its down moments.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is a high 7/10.
