AEW Dynamite Review 7.8.2025.

MJF Opens The Show.

MJF has been the best part of AEW television over this past two months, and this opening segment acted as a forshadow for what was to come later on in the broadcast. Max's world is starting to crumble, and it's great to see. You love to see it.

Jon Moxley vs Speedball Mike Bailey.

I liked this. Mox was in a pissed off mood after Darby Allin tried to murder him last week on Collision, so he took it out on Speedball Mike Bailey. Wheeler Yuta was at ringside, and the only thought that ran through my head was this, we need to start the angles of him leaving The Deathriders. Mox snapped Bayley's finger, which looked nasty. Mike Bailey's heart became the solid backbone of this Match. Darby Allin then kidnapped Wheeler Yuta, this caused the end of the Match to get hurried, as Mox hit Bailey with a Death Valley Driver for the win, seconds after the segment that followed. Jon took the chase to the car park, and Marina saw a Wheeler Yuta shaped Bodybag, that when undone had a message on Yuta's head that simply read. Forbidden Door.

Alex Windsor And Toni Storm Segment.

( Insert UK Club chocolate bar ad here ) If you like a load of sexual innuendo with your wrestling watch this segment. Just check this out.

Alex Windsor vs Queen Aminata vs Skye Blue vs Billie Starkz TBS 4 Way Qualifier.

Alex Windsor, beat. Queen Aminata. Skye Blue, and. Billie Starkz in what was a great TV Match. From the Matches within the Match, and Alex windsor creating her own version of the Boston Crab Human Centipede, and Toni Storm just being at ringside, just added humour to the proceedings. Athena attacked Toni Storm, and Windsor had a face off against Mercedes Mone

Generation Me Segment.

The Young Bucks bullied a Production worker, and ordered him to give these lines to Justin Roberts. This went horribly wrong. More on these guys later.

Kyle Fletcher Segment.

This was the perfect balance of cheese, and old school humour. Renee Paquette earnt her money tonight, and she nearly corpsed twice, and this one of those moments. Kyle Fletcher is now becoming the old school bad guy, that this era of fans need, and when you fold that in with Elton John chandelier glasses, a dodgy looking painting, and a promo that sounds like it came out directfully from the mid 1980's. you get gold. I liked this.

Murder On Live TV Next Week.

Next Week Adam Copeland is going to Murder a Glorious man live on TV. You leave Stokeley Hathaway alone. Stokeley later on answered this back later on in the broadcast.

Brodido vs The Young Bucks Forbidden Door Tag Team Tournament Match.

This was excellent. The Young Bucks were given back their entrance music, and production, to a half extent, they had to nearly crawl to get out to the rampway, and Justin Roberts completely mugged them off, and it was hilarious. You love to see it. The flawless physicality was insane at points, and the near falls were crafted together, to mould in with the story of the Match. Brodido got the win, and will now face FTR at a later date, for a chance to meet The Hurt Syndicate at Forbidden Door. One other thing, during this Match Toni Schiavone said that Full Gear is going back to New Jersey, and that The Rock will be hosting, and just like that my excitement levels went through the roof. The Man that tried to take one of its founders souls is hosting a show for the competition, and is now wanting that Company's soul. Yes I am gullable.

The Hurt Syndicate Is Now The No Max's Club.

MVP Kicked Max out of The Hurt Syndicate, and just like that they became AEW's answer to the No Homers Club.

Swerve Strickland Segment.

Swerve vs Okada at Forbidden Door. I have no notes, just hook this Match to my veins.

MJF vs Mark Briscoe.

I liked this. From the innovative chair, and table spots. Both men fighting in the fans, to these two establishing themselves as the thinking mans Pro Wrestlers. The Near falls were solid, as they helped mark this as an excellent TV main event that did the job, however the finish felt a bit botchy, but then again this could all be a big work to help aid the on going storyline. Bryce Remsburg missed the fact that Mark had his foot on the ropes, and gave Max the three count. Max then beat down Mark, and bloodied him up with that beautiful Gold ring. Hangman Adam Page stood on the top of the ramp, and came down to aid his fallen friend, as Max tried escape, but Hangman caught him and the pair had a fight in the fans to end the show. I had a blast watching this main event, as it was a perfect way to send the show off the air.

Overview of AEW Dynamite.

As the anticipation for Forbidden Door grows even closer, the weekly TV from AEW continues to grow and get better and better. I'm not going to Forbidden Door due to the prices of travel to Greenwich, and the ticket prices, but that doesn't change the fact that I have thoroughly enjoyed the build to this event.

This weeks AEW Dynamite is a high 8/10.
