AEW Dynamite Review 17.7.2025.

Intro.

With the high trajectory that AEW has been riding at the moment. It was important that the Jacksonville outlet, had a fantastic night on Saturday. With that achieved, their momentum must continue as fobidden Door looms around the PPV corner. Now is the time for AEW to not rest on their lorals, now is the time to strike, so they can really leave their impact, as the year enters the final months.

Tony Schiavone Interviews Hangman Adam Page.

This was fantastic, and a superb way to start the show. Tears, and emotion were seen to nearly be running down Hangmans face, as the fans chanted. You Deserve It, and. Thank you Hangman. Adam spoke about how the company was built on DIY roots, and how the fans helped create this revolution in Pro Wrestling. He thanked the competitors who gave everything in order to stop The Deathriders, whilst talking about the importance of family, because he's Hangman Adam Page, and he's the f****** champ. This felt visceral, important, and also unnerving, because I get the feeling that Hangman might be the victim of becoming a transitional champion. The tease of him facing Osperay again is very teasing, and exciting to me.

The Young Bucks Slumming It.

Taxi for Matt, and. Nicholas. So no Limo then lads. The Young Bucks Slumming It, you love to see it. This was a funny minor thread, as. Renne Paquette. Ricochet, and Damn It Don Callis, all got their licks in. Don braught up the fact that Okada may have killed kenny Omega, which got me thinking when he said the words Kenny's dead. He's a fan of the South Park Album Chef Aid.

MJF And The Hurt Syndicate.

MJF said that he will beat Hangman clean, whilst MVP still wants Tag teams to step up to The Hurt Syndicate. This was filmed after All In on Saturday, which explains why MVP sounded just like me the other week, when I got home from seeing Linkin Park at Wembley Stadium. His voice was beyond raspy.

8 Man Tag Match.

Hechicero. Josh Alexander, and. The Young Bucks, beat. Jetspeed. Bandido, and. Brody King, in what was a solid physical encounter. The Bucks got mugged off good and proper here. No Backscreen, and. No Theme music, to Justin Roberts laughing at them. Once again. You love to see it.

Adam Copeland Segment.

I liked this. The fans were on great voice here, as they welcomed Cope back. The themes of jealousy, and betrayal came to light when he spoke about his past, to pressent day with Christian cage, but his true intentions is to end FTR. From Adam pulling back the curtain, and talking from an honest place, this was excellent, and his dual with that glorious man Stokeley Hathaway, was great. Stokeley said if Adam goes near FTR he would be fired from AEW, so Adam took it upon himself to attack a glorious man, as the security showed what they are. Cowards. I had a blast watching this.

Mark Briscoe Segment.

I'm not a religous man, but I do need to say this. Mark Briscoe god bless you sir.

Thekla vs Queen Aminata vs Kris Statlander vs Willow Nightingale 1.0000 4 Way.

Thekla, beat. Queen Aminata. Kris Statlander, and. Willow Nightingale, to become completely loaded, with the help of Skye Blue, and. Julia Hart. This Match was a lot of fun. From Aminata helping Willow get a bit ass faced. Thekla giving herself a good showing, and Nightingale, and. Statlander reigniting their feud. This was great.

Timeless Toni Storm Victory Speech.

This was a complete blast. From Toni pressenting herself as the sexual classy lady that she is, to her thanking Mercedes Mone, by saying that she did what she said she was going to do, and eat Mercedes alive, if she made a mistake at All In, and she did. She said that Luther is injured. I know what you're all thinking. Doing the Danny Larusso Crane Kick, can be lethal. Athena, and Billy Starks then showed up on the big screen, and. Athena laid all her options for when she might cash in her Gauntlet contract. Toni then laid bare what she is sexually, and said she's Timeless. I liked this.

The Patriarchy Segment.

Nick Wayne, and. Kip Sabian, told the world why they put Christian cage out to pastures, whilst Moma Wayne acted like a tease, ooh Moma Wayne you so naughty.

Kazuchika Okada Wrecks A Local Jobber.

I didn't catch the name of the guy that Okada destroyed, but I loved it when he called out Swerve Strickland in the aftermath, because he wasn't happy with what happened on Saturday. Swerve then came out, and flipped the script, and said. Yeah, me and. Osperay beat them, and what Bitch. Also Damn It Don Callis acting like Bruce Buffer was funny.

The Deathriders vs Hangman Adam Page. Powerhouse Hobbs, And Mark Briscoe.

Even though this did have some solid bursts of energy from all involved. It also felt very subdued at the same time. This was a differant DeathRiders, and they need to be. This became the main story of the Match, as the final stages came to a close the Match became a complete over delivery, as Hangman got the win for his team, and was beaten down in the aftermath by Mox and his crew, this was when the figure that is Darby Allin showed up, and became the difference maker, as the show went off the air.

Overview of AEW Dynamite.

In the way of how fall out shows go in Pro Wrestling, this didn't feel like a fall out show, and it didn't feel like a reset, what we got here was a continuation of what had already played out, some might think this could be a mis-step, to me I think some fans need to let this play out.

This Weeks Dynamite is a solid 7/10.
