AEW DYNAMITE RESULTS – DECEMBER 3, 2025
“It’s Wednesday night, and you know what that means …” are the first words we hear from Excalibur after the regular weekly AEW Dynamite show opening video and accompanying theme song wraps up. We shoot live inside the Fishers Events Center in Fishers, Indiana.
Samoa Joe, Eddie Kingston Go Face-To-Face Ahead Of Winter Is Coming
Inside the ring is another member of the AEW broadcast team, the legendary Tony Schiavone. He brings up the advertised AEW World Championship main event between current title-holder Samoa Joe and “The Mad King” Eddie Kingston for next week’s AEW Winter Is Coming show.
With that in mind, he introduces the champion and challenger, both of whom make their respective ring entrances for their advertised final face-to-face confrontation ahead of their highly-anticipated title tilt next Wednesday night.
Before Schiavone can finish his introduction of the segment, he is cut off by Samoa Joe, who warns that he should leave the ring or he’ll snatch the ugly wig off of his head. Schiavone obliges. Joe addresses some situations as he speaks to Kingston, saying Eddie must have some questions that need answering. He continues by listing them.
Joe says first, why is Joe not wearing his three-piece suit. Eddie refers to it as “corporate thuggin’” as Joe says that when he realized he was coming to Indiana, wearing his suit would be like wearing a tuxedo at a petting zoo. The penguins might appreciate it, but the animals could care less.
The second question, then, is why Hook and why Eddie? Joe talks up Hook’s potential, as well as getting him set up with someone like Eddie, someone who never quite fulfills his potential. He is interrupted by an “Eddie” chant, as Joe answers the third and final question. He says Eddie is going in for a fight.
He’s going in looking to capture the greatest championship in the business…but he is not going to cross the finish line, just like every other time. He talks about choking Kingston out, as Eddie calls Joe out for talking about jets. The man that was once held in high regard, the man that went to war with his mentor Homicide.
He says that man is out here talking about jets. He says Hook did learn something from him, he learned perseverance. Everyone asks why he has to yap, and yell when he talks even when he makes good points, and it’s because he gets s–t done when he does. The Joe that he sees now, he doesn’t know or respect.
Kingston runs Joe down some more before looking to wrap up, as he knows the fans came to see wrestling and he is ready to go back to his hotel and go to sleep because he has nothing else to do tonight. He then concludes his speech by delivering a warning to Joe’s face.
“The Mad King” warns Joe that if he doesn’t bring the former best-ever ROH World Champion version of himself, the Samoan Submission Machine version, the man that put his mentor Homicide down time and time again, if he doesn’t bring that to their match next week, he vows he will “eat him alive.” He walks off to end the segment.
The Opps Issue Challenge To The Dark Order
From there, we shoot backstage, where we see the rest of The Opps talking about Joe getting things done tonight. They then call out The Dark Order for a trios match. If they can beat Hook, Katsuyori Shibata and Powerhouse Hobbs tonight, they’ll get a shot at their AEW World Trios Championship down the line.
AEW Continental Classic (Gold League)
Kazuchika Okada vs. PAC
Back inside the arena, the theme for The Death Riders’ own PAC hits, and out comes “The Bastard” for the first of three scheduled AEW Continental Classic matches on tonight’s show. He settles in the ring for our opening contest, which will be contested in the 2025 C2 Gold League.
His music dies down and the familiar sounds of the coin-drop hits the house speakers, as “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada from The Don Callis Family makes his way out to the ring. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with our first match of the evening.
We see PAC and Okada lock up before PAC gets a waist-lock, with Okada countering. This leads to an exchange of holds that ends with both men on their feet, and Okada gets PAC to the corner before the ref intervenes. PAC fights out of the corner, taking “The Rainmaker” out with a shoulder tackle.
He then goes up top for a missile dropkick that sends Okada to the mat. PAC hits the ropes for a lariat, but Okada rolls out of the ring to evade it. PAC leaves the ring to go after him, only to be sent into the barricade before Okada brings him back into the ring. He takes PAC to the corner for some strikes.
After wearing him down, he pulls him toward the middle of the ring, driving him to the canvas for a near-fall. He continues wearing PAC down, sending him into the ropes until PAC fights back to drive his boot into the face of “The Rainmaker.” He follows up with some stomps as we head to a mid-match commercial break.
When the show returns, we see the action still in progress. PAC back in control as he sets up for a running knee…but the Rainmaker catches him from the corner with a shotgun dropkick! Okada gets sent to the ropes but drops PAC with a shoulder tackle, setting up for a DDT and a two count.
He goes up top for an elbow drop, following up by flipping off the crowd, but PAC fights back, sending him to the corner instead. He charges at Okada, who fights out of the corner only to take a boot from PAC. PAC with a cutter sending “The Rainmaker” to the mat once more, and hits the ropes for a lariat.
Instead, he runs right into a dropkick by Okada. Okada goes for the cover, but PAC reverses for a near-fall of his own. He sends Okada to the corner for a pump kick to the face, dodging the Rainmaker coming after him for a German suplex. He follows up with a deadlift German suplex, bridging for a pin but only gets a two count.
Both men are down, but PAC is first to his feet as he goes after Okada, who turns it around with a tombstone piledriver. Okada heads to the corner, climbing the turnbuckle, only for PAC to intercept for a super-plex. PAC looks for the Brutalizer, however Okada counters into a pin for the victory.
Winner (3 Points): Kazuchika Okada
Mark Briscoe Issues Challenge For AEW’s Return To Cardiff
Backstage, Mark Briscoe addresses Daniel Garcia and their history. He also talks about Garcia seemingly ducking him when presented with a chance to face Briscoe for the TNT Title, but Mark doesn’t play mind games so he went to Tony Khan.
He says he went to the AEW President looking to defend the title. With that, we find out that Mark Briscoe will put his TNT Championship on-the-line against Daniel Garcia in Cardiff, Wales at the AEW Winter Is Coming edition of AEW Collision.
Ricochet Talks ROH Debut For AEW National Title Defense
Ricochet talks up being the inaugural AEW National Champion and his ‘charity work,’ which continues when he makes his Ring Of Honor debut to defend the title against a former ROH Champion in Dalton Castle at AEW Final Battle later this month.
Since Columbus is such a cold, lonely town, Ricochet will stick around a little longer and look to defend his title against someone else at AEW Collision the next night. He talks about The Demand being in more demand than ever, with GOA adding that if you don’t follow demands, you get put down.
Roderick Strong Is Not In The Conglomeration
Mark Briscoe is doing double duty tonight, as Renee Paquette has The Conglomeration, and Roderick Strong, in the back. Mark says things have not gone well for them as of late, so the word of the day is Domination.
Roderick Strong then speaks up, and says he is not a member of The Conglomeration, and he is going to kick Orange Cassidy’s ass. Cassidy says no chops in their match, but Strong isn’t with it. He’s gonna break his back.
Darby Allin Shown In The Hospital
Commentary hypes the Orange Cassidy vs. Roderick Strong match before taking a look at Darby Allin in the hospital after AEW Dynamite last week. After seeing the image of Darby in a hospital bed, the commentators inform the viewing audience that he is not medically cleared to compete. They plug AEW Collision for an update on him.
AEW Continental Classic (Gold League)
Kyle Fletcher vs. Kevin Knight
Back inside the Fishers Events Center, Kyle Fletcher and Kevin “The Jet” Knight make their respective ring entrances for their showdown in Gold League action in the 2025 AEW Continental Classic. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running With this one.
The crowd cheers for Knight as the two men lock up, with Fletcher taking Knight to the ropes. Kevin turns it around, making a clean break at the request of the ref. They lock up once again, and this time Kyle gets a side headlock to take Knight down…but Kevin turns it around for a head-scissors.
Fletcher finally breaks free, going right back to the side headlock until Kevin starts to break away, only to take a kick by Kyle instead. Fletcher poses, taunting Knight as he gets to his feet, and this gives Kevin an opening as he takes the former TNT Champion down.
Fletcher and Knight exchange holds. Fletcher rolls out to the floor to regroup. Knight goes out after him and continues to widen the offensive gap, putting himself into a more comfortable lead. As he continues to work over Fletcher, we head into a mid-match commercial break as the action continues.
When we return, things quickly pick up, with Fletcher and Knight engaging in an extended series of back-and-forth pin attempts, nearly all of which elicited gasps from the crowd. In the end, a brain=buster from Fletcher gets him the victory.
Winner (6 Points): Kyle Fletcher
Don Callis Has Something To Say …
When the match wraps up, Don Callis gets in the ring and on the microphone. He says he’s got something to say, and it’s about The Young Bucks, so the booing crowd will want to hear it. He is joined by Hechicero and Josh Alexander, who come into the ring holding duffle bags.
Before anything else happens, we shift gears and head into a quick commercial break. When the show returns, we hear Callis saying we’re lucky he even comes to this town before turning his attention to The Young Bucks. There are lots of things he could forgive them for, but not for siding with Kenny Omega.
This is interrupted by a “Kenny” chant before Don says he has one more important thing to say: he has the Young Bucks’ money, and he knows Kenny isn’t going to finance them. So, for the first time in their lives, they need to be men and come get the money.
Sure enough, this brings out The Young Bucks…who make a beeline for the ring, clearing out Hechicero and Alexander before knocking Fletcher out with a BTE Trigger. He leaves the ring as they turn their attention to Josh distracting them, which allows Okada to run down, laying them out with Rainmaker lariats.
The Don Callis Family beats down on the Bucks until Jurassic Express make the save, with Luchasaurus being sent out of the ring as we’re left with Jack Perry and Okada, until El Clon blindsides the former Jungle Boy, leading to more of the Family beating him down further. The beatdown on the Bucks and Perry continues.
After a moment or two, the beatdown continues until Kenny Omega’s music hits, and Omega rushes to the ring for the save as he clears the ring. Okada tries to catch him with a Rainmaker lariat, but Omega counters with a snap dragon suplex. He looks for a V-Trigger but Okada is pulled out of the ring.
AEW Women’s World Tag-Team Championship Semifinals (Hardcore Holiday Death Match)
‘Timeless’ Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa vs. Megan Bayne & Marina Shafir
Who is going to take the only remaining spot in the finals of the ongoing tournament to crown the inaugural AEW Women’s World Tag-Team Champions? It’s time to find out, as our advertised Hardcore Holiday Death Match semifinal showdown is up next.
Following the respective ring entrances for the two teams, we get this one officially off-and-running. The fight quickly spills to the outside, where we see Toni using a broken bottle to go after Shafir and Bayne. Mina uses a giant candy cane prop to after Megan as well, and she and Storm bring her back to the ring.
We see that the cane has barbed wire wrapped around it. Mina sets the cane onto Bayne before Storm hoists her up, dropping Shirakawa onto both. They go for a double suplex, but Bayne counters with one of her own before sending them out of the ring as Marina returns from the stage.
On that note, the show shifts gears and settles into a mid-match commercial break as the action continues. When the show returns, we see Shafir using a frying pan on Mina while Bayne clubs the back of Storm to keep control of the match.
Megan Bayne is now the Woman with the Golden Chair as she swings away at Toni, but she finally dodges and the chair collides with the pan from Shafir. Storm uses the opening to bring Bayne to the apron, delivering a Storm Zero that sends the Megasus through the table on the outside. Meanwhile, Shafir tapes up her wrists.
She then cinches in Mother’s Milk on Mina, who uses a broken pool stick to break the hold. Shafir rolls to the outside as Mina gets an assist from Storm to land a dive onto The Problem. She brings Marina back into the ring as Toni sets up the golden chair, where Mina drops Shafir with a seated senton for a cover.
Bayne breaks up the pin at two to keep this match alive. A table propped up against the corner finally comes into play when Bayne spears Mina onto it, just barely breaking it as Shafir pulls Mina in for another Mother’s Milk. Toni lands a Storm Zero on Bayne sending her onto Marina to break the hold.
As the action continues, we see someone dressed up as Santa Claus coming down with a gift or two. He steps onto the apron as Shafir takes the gift, only to be flipped off by the Santa, who reveals himself to be Luther. Storm takes a gift-wrapped shoe and clobbers Shafir with it, rolling her up for the win to advance to the finals.
Winners and ADVANCING to the tournament finals: ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa
The Dark Order Are Ready For Their Big Opportunity
The Dark Order are shown backstage. They are hyped for their trios match when they are interrupted by Hangman Adam Page. Reynolds tells Page that he may be out for blood, but he needs to not ruin this moment for the trio. Page assures them he is staying out of it, and we go to commercial break.
Mercedes Moné With A Message For Red Velvet
Now we see Renee Paquette standing by with Mercedes Moné. She makes it clear she does not want to talk about her unsuccessful run in the tag title tournament, but she will talk about defending the ROH Women’s Television Championship at ROH Final Battle against Red Velvet.
She makes it clear that she has already beaten Red Velvet, but is willing to do it again after the smack talk being delivered. In the meantime, she is going to appear this week on ROH on HonorClub ahead of that match, just to show what she’s capable of.
FTR Ready To Prove They’re Superior To The Bang Bang Gang
In a third consecutive quick-hit backstage promo style segment, we shift gears and head over to the FTR duo of Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler. FTR and Big Stoke address The Bang Bang Gang. They claim that they’re not good enough to beat them again, especially with the titles on the line at AEW Collision. “Top guys … out!”
AEW World Trios Championship Eliminator
The Opps (c) vs. The Dark Order
From there, we head back to the ringside area for our next match of the evening. The Opps make their way out. The Dark Order make their entrance to a nice pop, but they are blindsided by The Opps, who fight them on the outside as this match gets underway in abrupt fashion.
HOOK and John Silver ultimately kick things off for their respective teams when the actual legal in-ring action begins. John hitting some kicks before HOOK fights back with a suplex. Alex Reynolds goes after Hobbs on the outside only to be dropped to the floor.
Evil Uno gets dropped off the turnbuckle by Shibata before The Opps regroup in the ring with The Dark Order laid out on the floor. On that note, the show shifts gears and settles into a mid-match commercial break as this high stakes eliminator bout continues.
When the show returns, we see Silver drop HOOK with a suplex. Uno tags in and kicks HOOK to the floor. Uno delivers an elbow to Shibata and takes HOOK down in the corner. Uno deliver back elbows to HOOK and Shibata, follows with clotheslines and splashes in the corners.
Hobbs gets into the ring and Uno chops him a few times. Hobbs comes back with a clothesline and follows with a spine-buster for the pin fall. After the match, Adam Page hits the ring with a chain and delivers shots to Shibata and Hobbs. Shibata and Hobbs come back and double-team Page.
Page ducks and causes Hobbs to clothesline Shibata with the chain. Page hits Hobbs with a beer bottle and goes for the Buckshot Lariat, but security hits the ring and stops him as Hobbs leaves the ring. Page delivers shots to the security guys and drops one of them with the Buckshot Lariat.
Winners: The Opps
Backstage With The Don Callis Family
Now we shoot backstage, where we see Renee Paquette standing by with The Don Callis Family. Okada asks why Konosuke Takeshita wasn’t out there earlier, and Callis says Takeshita is training for his Continental Classic Tournament match.
Takeshita walks up and he and Okada stare each other down. Renee asks if Callis is so confident, why isn’t Okada also putting the AEW International Championship on the line as well, but Callis gives a long answer without answering.
Renee Paquette attempts to ask him once again, and this time Callis responds and says it is because he is not an idiot. Fletcher says with all of them with points already, they are guaranteed to bring the AEW Continental Championship back to The Don Callis Family. We head to another break.
Hangman Page Issues Challenge For AEW Winter Is Coming
When the show returns, we see a still-fired-up Hangman Page. He tells Powerhouse Hobbs and Katsuyori Shibata if they want a fight, they can have one. He says next week they need to get their affairs in order, because he’s going to fight them, and he’s not coming alone. He walks off after vowing he’ll also recapture his AEW title.
AEW Continental Classic (Blue League)
Jon Moxley vs. Claudio Castagnoli
It’s main event time!
We hear the rough guitar screech of The Death Riders theme. The camera cuts backstage, where we see Jon Moxley stumbling around in madman-Moxley fashion, with Marina Shafir not far behind him. The two make their usual custom ring entrance through the crowd for Blue League action in the AEW Continental Classic.
After Mox settles in the ring, we hear a quick word from Renee Paquette, who says Mox told her that despite their alliance in The Death Riders together, Claudio Castagnoli is going to have to beat him straight up if he wants the points in the AEW Continental Classic when they meet in a few moments.
With that in mind, the familiar sounds of Castagnoli’s theme hits. The red lights turn on in the building and out the crowd comes Castagnoli. He settles inside the squared circle and his entrance tune dies down. The bell sounds to get our final match of the evening officially off-and-running.
Following a dramatic opening stare down to chants of “Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t!” before anything happens, Claudio lunges in, but Mox turns it around and the two trade holds while the referee directs Shafir to leave ringside per the rules of the AEW Continental Classic.
This takes a little while but she finally heads to the back as Mox briefly takes control, only for Castagnoli to counter with a test of strength sending Mox to the mat for a set of near-falls. This hold ends with Claudio landing a stomp, before bringing Mox to his feet.
He sends the former world champion to the corner not once but twice, before Mox fights back sending Castagnoli to the ropes. Mox continues the attack as he sends Claudio to the corner for some mounted punches, before gouging the eye until the ref intervenes. Mox goes after the hand of Castagnoli now.
Claudio fights back with a backbreaker that forces Mox to leave the ring for a breather. On that note, we shift gears and head into a mid-match commercial break for our final advertising time-out of the evening, as the action in this high stakes AEW Continental Classic tournament main event continues.
When the show returns, we see the two men trading strikes in the middle of the ring until a busted open Mox hits the ropes, only to get caught in a giant swing by Castagnoli. He puts Mox back down, turning him over for a Sharpshooter. Mox crawls toward the ropes, but gets caught in a cross-face by Claudio.
Claudio then yanks him back to the center of the ring. Mox finally manages to break free, going for a rear naked choke until Claudio fights to his feet. He breaks the hold and hits the ropes, leading to both men once again trading strikes. Claudio with an uppercut sends Mox to the ropes.
Claudio is then sent through the ropes for a dive by Mox. Mox gets to his feet to bring Castagnoli back into the ring, and a backslide for a near-fall leads to Mox landing a big lariat to keep him down. Ten minutes have elapsed as both men finally make it to their feet once more, fighting it out until they exchange near-falls.
Mox lands another lariat to send Claudio back to the canvas. Castagnoli starts to get back up, only for Mox to drop him with a big stomp for a two count, and Mox transitions into a choke hold. Castagnoli fights to break the hold, eventually sending Mox through the ropes to break free. Mox starts to walk away.
This gives Claudio a running start as he charges at Mox, sending him into the barricade as the ref begins the count. He continues the attack before bringing Mox back into the ring, dropping him with a powerbomb for a close two count. The two men stare each other down as they fight back to their feet.
Mox lands a Paradigm Shift on Castagnoli out of nowhere. Both men are slowly stirring as we get a five minute warning. This fires up Claudio, who charges at Mox with a running uppercut. He goes for the cover and gets the three-count to improve to six points in the Continental Classic standings.
The commentators point out it marks only the second time Castagnoli has defeated Moxley inside the squared circle. We see Marina Shafir and Daniel Garcia come out to check on a bloody Mox afterwards. The show heads off the air shortly thereafter. Thanks for joining us!
Winner (6 points): Claudio Castagnoli
