AEW Dynamite Review 14.8.2025.

MJF And Hangman Adam Page Segment.

I liked this. From the very start you could feel the visceral feeling between the pair, and it was great to see. From snaps of anger, to moments of truth being the selling point of this segment. This was excellent work from both men, that led to the conclusion of Max executing at Forbidden Door, this is our main event for the UK PPV, and i'm gutted that i'm not going. More on these two later on.

Jon Moxley vs Kevin Knight.

This was awesome. The Physicality that was on display had me thinking, that this was a fascinating sight, that gave the Match time to breathe. As their counteractions were well matched, but it was Mox who got the win with a darce choke, but it was the aftermath that was more entertaining. Speedball Mike Bailey got taken care by The Deathriders, this caused Darby Allin to come out, and Bodybag Wheeler Yuta again, this caused Claudio Castagnoli to Bag Darby, and then hoy him on his shoulders and gave him a big spin and bump. This caused Will Osperay to come out, and challenge Mox to A Match at Forbidden Door. Will Osperay and his mates vs Jon and his mates. In a Liights Out Steel Cage Match. This is going to be golden, and I also think that this is going to leave all fans with a due, and it's got all the ingridients to be ACE. Mox would later be seen talking to a couple of Jobbers, and hello Gabe Kidd.

Mercedes Mone. Thekla, and. Skye Blue vs Alex Windsor, and. Willow Nightingale.

I didn't like this. Now don't get me wrong, I thought the physicality was great, and the ladies worked hard to get the fans on side, but I felt like their was something missing, and I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. Toni Storm and Athena were a study in contrast in the stands one looked Stoic, and the other was having a lovely old time. Alex Windsor got the win for her team, and Athena and Toni had a nice little fight. Toni, and. Alex then challenged Athena and Mercedes to Match next week, when AEW heads to Scotland, the land that created Iron Bru, and Ally Mccoist.

Adam Copeland vs Stokeley Hathaway.

I had fun watching this. Cope got the fans to cook Stokeley, which was wrong, as copeland laid bare a physical beat down on this glorious man, that was until FTR came out and got this Match thrown out with the help of some powder. FTR beat down Cope. This was when Christian Cage came out with Copes mate Spike, and has a tussle with Nick Wayne. Adam then hugged it out with his friend. This made 14 year old Patrick very happy, and then seeing the graphic that the pair will be facing Nick Wayne, and. Kip Sabian at Forbidden Door had feeling even more sad, because i'm not going to Forbidden Door, due to money reasons. At times during this. I thought Adam might change his name to Adam Lansbury, because if he had killed Stokeley, then this would've been called Murder Cope Wrote.

Hook Return Vignette.

All I have to say about this is real simple. As a comic book fan I love this. Holy smokes AEW are going in hard with DC Comics.

The Young Bucks. Josh Alexander, and. Kyle Fletcher vs Brody King. Hologram. Tomohiri Ishii, and Hiromu Takahashi.

This was a superb look, at how mixed and muddled things can be very watchable. The Bucks battered Justin Roberts, because they got mugged off again. The Match ran at a pace of an oversized Energizer Bunny, and this allowed for all men to get their moves in. This was by far the best thing on the show in my opinion. Taka and his team got the win. He will now face Kyle Fletcher at Forbidden Door for the TNT Championship, could life get any worse.

Swerve Strickland Segment.

Sound issues with Renee Paquette aside, this was perfect. His Interactions with Okada were great. Sometimes in Pro wrestling, you don't to have a full blown segment in order to sell the Match, sometimes you just need moments like this. Perfect.

The Opps vs LFI.

I wasn't into this Match. It just felt flat, and I struggled to think how this got to be a main event. The Opps got the win. This wasn't for me.

Hangman Adam Page Is Attacked.

Hangman was having a chat with Renee Paquette, and then he was attacked by MJF, he told Hangman if he thinks this is bad, then he's not seen anything yet. This felt nasty, visceral, and violent through words, and I loved it. This was a great way to send the show off the air.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

Even though there were moments in this broadcast that weren't for me, but as a whole it was solid, the in ring action went from good to great, and the Forbidden Door developments are showing a lot of promise.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is a high 7/10.
