AEW Dynamite Review 26.6.2025.

Toni Storm Gets Wrecked.

The show Kicked off with Mercedes Mone jumping Toni Storm, and attacking her, she dragged her to the stage, and placed her in the crossface. As Refs and Mina Shirakowa tried to make the save. Let the games begin people.

Will Osperay And Swerve Strickland vs Blake Christian and Lee Johnson.

This Match was brought forward by those crafty Young Bucks, who were seen to be abusing their powers, like schoolyard bullies choosing their friends to be on their football team. I wasn't a fan of the Match. Now don't get me wrong. The in ring work was solid, and the promise that came afterwards has me very excited, it's just it felt a bit lofi for my liking. Swerve, and Will got the win, and like I said earlier Swerve took to the mic, and challeneged the EVP's to a tag Match against himself and Mr Osperay at All In, and to ad a good measure of petrol to the fire. Will told them to put their EVP status on the line. I liked this, it was the perfect mix of reality meets Keyfabe when you dig beneath the surface, because it has long been spoken about that Tony Khan is trying to take back more of the creativity within his own company, and this could be a good start. Also Hello Ropongi Vice, Ibushi vs Okada, now that's a spicy meatball.

Kota Ibushi vs Trent Barretta.

I liked this. It worked well as a fantastic clash of styles coming together, to make something that needs to be seen. Ibushi got the win, with some sickening knee strikes. He then had a face off against Kazuchika Okada. I think this is a clear direction for Forbidden Door, you're lucky, if you're going.

Jon Moxley Segment.

This was perfect. No notes other than you need to go and check this out, because I loved this.

AR Fox and Ricochet vs Speedjet. ( And Everything Else. )

The Matches that came along with this bunched up stuff were great, but everything to do with the Hurt Syndicate made this feel over bloated. AR Fox and Ricochet lost to speedjet in what was a solid outing for Kevin Knight, and. Speedball Mike Bailey. Who were then decked by The Hurt Syndicate. Tony Schiavone almost got sent flying which made me laugh. MVP said that he wants a Tag Team to step up to The Hurt Syndicate, this came after Speedjet tried to stake their claims to the Tag Belts, and MJF had a great promo dual with Mark Briscoe, after he played all of his promo hits. This was way too long.

Mens and Womens Casino Gauntlet qualifiers.

Both of these Matches were solid, from their in built storylines, to the Matches within the Matches. Mark Briscoe, beat. Bandido. Roderick Strong, and. Konosuke Takeshista, and. Kris Statlander, beat. Willow Nightingale. Athena, and. Thunder Rosa. I had a great time watching these Matches at 8am in the morning.

Adam Cole Segment.

Adam Cole has challenged any Member of The Damn It Don Callis Family, to an open challenge for his TNT Championship on Collision, And on the subject of Collision. The Collision reviews will be coming back. I had to drop them temporarily, due to timing issues, but they're coming back.

Hangman Adam Page vs The Beast Mortos.

This was another lofi affair, that came with hard hitting blows, and solid chemistry from both men. Hangman got the win with a buck shot larriot, and was then beaten down by Moxley, and his crew. The Opps, and. Will Osperay made the save as the show went off the air. This was decent.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

Even though I did like this broadcast. I couldn't help but think that something was missing, and I couldn't put my finger on what it was, I mean the Matches went from average to good, whilst the promos were way too long, and didn't get to the point fast enough.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is a 7/10.
