AEW DYNAMITE RESULTS – JULY 30, 2025
This week’s show kicks off with Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Taz welcoming us to the program from the commentary desk in the Bank Byline Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Illinois.
AEW World Tag-Team Championship Eliminator Tournament
The Outrunners vs. The Young Bucks
From there, an extended video package airs promoting tonight’s main event, which will feature Hangman Page vs. Jon Moxley in a rematch from AEW All In: Texas with the AEW World Championship on-the-line in a bout where everyone will be banned from ringside.
After that, we shoot inside the host venue for tonight’s show as The Outrunners’ theme hits. They make their way to the ring for the latest match in the ongoing AEW World Tag-Team Championship Eliminator tournament. Already in the ring are their opponents, The Young Bucks.
“The Dapper Yapper” Justin Roberts once again does a sped-up introduction for the duo, quickly saying their names with the least amount of enthusiasm possible for someone with his kind of voice. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with our opening contest.
Kicking things off for their respective teams in this one will be Matt Jackson and Truth Magnum. Jackson gets the upper hand early before the Bucks start to fight back. Floyd comes rushing in off a tag and they take the Bucks down to a pop. Bucks take control of the match.
The commentators reluctantly sing the praises of the Bucks, pointing out how regardless of your opinion of them, they remain one of the most talented in-ring duos in the business. That doesn’t stop the crowd from booing the living crap out of them all-the-while, however.
Floyd makes the tag back to Magnum, which gets the crowd on their feet. He clears house to another nice pop, before Matt catches him in the corner. He slides out of the ring for a superkick on Floyd before coming back into the ring for a tag to Nick, who takes over on Magnum.
On that note, the show heads to a mid-match commercial break as the action in this tourney tilt continues. When the show returns, we see Nick keeping Magnum away from a tag before going after Floyd in the corner. Turbo gets on the turnbuckle looking for a reach on the tag.
Instead, Matt ends up knocking him off to the floor as Magnum gets taken back to the canvas before a tag to Matt is made. Big senton from Matt but it’s only good for a two count. Truth evades More Bang For Your Buck, finally escaping their grasp for the hot tag to Floyd.
Turbo comes in and goes off, sending Nick to the corner before dropping Matt with a big slam. The Outrunners look for their handshake but Nick superkicks to break it up. Total Recall then gets stopped as the Bucks start to get back into it, before Turbo drops them down to the mat.
We finally get the double elbow from The Outrunners, but the Bucks kick out to save the match. The Outrunners begin to add to their offensive lead from that point on, coming close on a few occasions on finishing things off, only for the Bucks to knock them out for the pin out of nowhere.
Winners and ADVANCING in the tournament: The Young Bucks
Swerve Strickland Stomps The Elite
With the win, The Young Bucks advance in the ongoing AEW World Tag-Team Championship Eliminator Tournament. As soon as the match ends, we get a look at the updated tournament bracket. From there, we return live in the arena, where we hear the familiar sounds of the coin dropping.
On that note, the AEW Unified Champion makes his way out in a white suit. He joins fellow members of The Elite, The Young Bucks, in the ring. The three begin a post-match beatdown of The Outrunners, which continues until the theme for Swerve Strickland hits.
Swerve Strickland makes his way out to the ring, and as he does, The Outrunners recover. The Young Bucks bail, but “The Rainmaker” is stuck alone in the ring, with Truth Magnum, Turbo Floyd and Swerve Strickland all taking turns beating him down to the delight of the crowd.
We see The Young Bucks crouching down at ringside, hiding from Swerve and The Outrunners. As they walk around the ring apron, however, we see Swerve Strickland spring to life. He hits a big leaping double-Stomp to lay out Nick and Matt Jackson. His theme hits again to end the eventful post-match scene.
Ricochet & The Gates Of Agony Confront Mark Briscoe
Backstage, Renee Paquette is standing by with Mark Briscoe. She brings up MJF. Briscoe asks if she’s seen him. Before she can answer, in walks Ricochet with The Gates of Agony, telling Briscoe to shut up. Briscoe tells Ricochet he’ll handle him later.
He turns to the camera to try again to address MJF, only to once more be interrupted by Ricochet and The Gates of Agony, the latter of which demand that Briscoe shows respect to Ricochet. Ricochet gets in one final line and does his Jadakiss rip-off laugh.
The trio then finally walk off. Back inside the arena, Excalibur does a live ad-read for Draft Kings. After that, the show shifts gears and heads into another commercial break.
Shelton Benjamin Confronts MJF Over Fake Rolex Watch
Commentary talks about MJF’s appearance in Happy Gilmore 2 before going backstage, where MJF looks to clear the air with Shelton Benjamin after Bobby Lashley’s remarks last week.
Benjamin says that MVP isn’t here tonight because frankly, he’s disgusted with MJF. He asks MJF for the time, a reminder that Friedman gave him his own Rolex watch, which Shelton reveals is a knockoff.
He says the only reason they didn’t lay MJF out months ago was because MVP stuck his neck out for him, before telling Max that as far as the Hurt Syndicate goes, MJF is out. Benjamin gives him a thumbs down and walks off.
Christian Cage Once Again Attacked By The Patriarchy
Inside the arena, Tony Schiavone is standing in the ring. He introduces his guest at this time, in his first appearance since being attacked by The Patriarchy and ultimately saved by Adam Copeland at AEW All In: Texas, before being told by Cope to “go find himself” — Christian Cage.
Cage makes his way to the ring. Cage introduces himself, saying “My name is Christian Cage, and I’m an assh*le.” The crowd agrees in a positive manner as Cage talks about being obsessed with getting the AEW World Championship, and how he saw his past in a moment after hitting a picture-perfect spear.
From there, hee stops himself to remind the crowd he is conducting his business, before turning his attention to Nick Wayne and his actions at AEW All In: Texas. He goes into what he likely did to deserve the treatment, and how there is a long line of people looking to maim him for what he’s done in the past.
He then addresses what Adam Copeland said about him recently, looking back at his own remarks toward Cope before asking if the things he said were really that bad? He says Adam isn’t gonna come out here and act like he doesn’t understand the game within the game, and he’s made some unsavory comments himself.
Cage then goes on to addresses Cope telling him to “go find himself.” Maybe he did, and maybe he didn’t, but know this, “you and I are so different and yet, we are the same.” Tony asks him more about what happened at AEW All In: Texas and Cage addresses this by running down Nick and then Mama Wayne.
Nick thinks he’s got it all figured out now he has some gold around his waist, but what’s going to happen when you have to actually fight and answer for what you’ve done? Cage is going to stand out here now and admit Nick has more talent than Christian, but he was trying to protect him.
Nick calls himself the new face of AEW, now and forever, but you’re gonna have to go through Christian Cage to get there. Nick Wayne, you already have one dead father, and now, you have a second father who is just dead to you. He ends by saying he disowns Nick, Kip, and Shayna before making his way out of the ring.
Christian Cage goes up the ramp, where Shayna confronts him before Kip appears from behind, and all to set up a blindside attack from Nick Wayne. They get a pair of chairs and take Christian out with a Con-Chair-To. The crowd boos. Cage is left laying face down as The Patriarchy stand over him.
Backstage With FTR & The Young Bucks
Backstage, we hear from FTR and Big Stoke. Stoke has a message for a few people, including Cope who he reminds is banned from the building tonight. He then addresses Bang Bang Gang ahead of the AEW World Tag-Team Championship Eliminator Tournament match tomorrow night on AEW Collision.
The Young Bucks end up approaching them to cut them off. We get a bit of chat as FTR congratulates the Bucks on their win tonight, talking about the possibility of facing them in the finals and saying all bad blood between them is in the past. Stoke still didn’t seem fond of them.
AEW World Championship (Everyone Banned From Ringside)
Hangman Page (c) vs. Jon Moxley
It’s time for the big AEW All In: Texas main event rematch, as Excalibur and the commentary team introduce our next match of the evening – Hangman Page vs. Jon Moxley II for the AEW World Championship, with everyone banned from ringside.
They mention that other matches are still scheduled, but will be bumped if this one goes long. Jon Moxley makes his way out to the ring. The reigning AEW World Champion Hangman Page does the same. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one.
The two men stare each other down as the crowd is firmly behind Page. Lock up leads to Mox taking Page to the corner, but the Hangman does not break away. Instead it’s Mox who is forced to make the break, before blindsiding him for a forearm. Page fights back.
Page sends Jon to the corner for some strikes before backing away. Both men return to the middle of the ring for a series of chops, each looking to take the other off their game, until Mox takes a bite out of the champ. He sends Page to the corner but takes a boot to the face.
Mox gets caught in a choke by Page before breaking free. The action spills to the outside as Page sends Mox into the barricade for more damage, but the ref’s count forces him back to the ring. Sliding lariat gets Page a two count. Chop to Mox on the ropes followed by an elbow.
From there, Mox is sent to the ropes before turning things around to force the champ to the corner. He drives a knee into the face of Page before attacking the head with mounted punches, and then drives a fist into the forehead for good measure. He takes Page to the mat for a two-count.
Fans get on Mox’s case with a loud “You tapped out!” chant aimed in his direction. Mox pays them no mind as he continues the attack, dropping Hangman to the mat before stomping away. Page breaks out of the challenger’s grasp finally, but is dropped with a German suplex before being sent to the corner.
Mox connects with a German suplex, but the champ manages to turn it around for a near-fall attempt. Mox gets launched for a fall away slam sending him to the apron. Mox tries to fight back but gets dropped to the floor by the champ, who brings Mox back in the ring for a two count.
Mox fights back with a kimura. Page crawls to the ropes to force a break, and gets the opening he needs to roll Mox up for another two-count. Jon rolls out of the ring for a breather, but Hangman follows him closely, only for Mox to send him into the ring steps with authority.
After that, Mox settles into a comfortable offensive lead. He climbs to the top of the ring steps, picks Hangman up and spikes him on his cowboy dome with a vicious piledriver onto the steel. 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 some more back-and-forth action, and then Page heads to the apron looking for a Buckshot Lariat. Mox ends up sending him off the apron and onto the announce table, where he sets the champ up for a piledriver, only for Page to counter with a Dead Eye to Mox through the table.
The ref checks on both men but Page quickly brings Mox back into the ring for a cover that garners a two count. Mox is back up as is Page, with the fight heading to the corner where Hangman gets caught on a moonsault but counters right into a tombstone piledriver for a near-fall.
Page sees an opportunity to give the challenger a taste of his own medicine, looking for a set of kicks to the head and neck. but Mox fights out of it, catching the champ with a bulldog choke instead. Page tries to get to the ropes but a gator roll from Mox pulls him away from safety.
instead, Hangman fights to his feet to finally break free, and sets up for a Lebell Lock on the challenger. Mox struggles for a bit before crawling over to get his boot on the rope, forcing the break. The action makes its way to the apron where Page goes for a Dead Eye, only for Mox to land a piledriver sending the champ’s head onto the hardest part of the ring.
He brings Page back into the ring for a Gotch-style piledriver and the cover, but Page narrowly kicks out. Hangman escapes a DDT attempt before the two men go back at it in the middle of the ring. Page gets fired up now as he lands a few shots sending Mox out of the ring, all leading to a moonsault off the top forcing the challenger to the floor.
He brings Mox back in the ring for a Buckshot Lariat, but Mox counters before Page turns it around for a Dead Eye, but he knocks the ref down in the process. This draws a bit of boos as the crowd can sense what’s coming, with security holding back the Death Riders–but not Marina Shafir.
Shafir hands the title to Mox to lay out the champ. He does. He then goes for the cover just as the ref is finally awake again, but Page still manages to kick out at two. The crowd goes wild. The ref sees Shafir at ringside and immediately ejects her per the stipulation, drawing her ire as security brings her and the Death Riders away through the crowd.
As that is going on, we see Darby Allin appear out of nowhere in the rafters. He leaps and catches the Riders with a dive from the opera box. Back in the ring, Page catches a distracted Mox with a Buckshot Lariat, but Mox goes for a sleeper after. This gets turned into a Dead Eye by the Hangman, who lands another Buckshot Lariat for the win.
Winner and STILL AEW World Champion: Hangman Page
“Timeless” Toni Storm & Alex Windsor vs. Athena & Billie Starkz
The show returns from a commercial break to ROH Women’s World Champion Athena and Billie Starkz making their ring entrances while we get a look back at what led to this match being made. Out next are their opponents, the team of Alex Windsor and AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm.
After that, the bell sounds to get this one officially off-and-running. We start things off with Athena and Windsor, the two trading holds until Athena takes Windsor down. Tag made to Storm who looks for a scrap with the “Forever Champ”, who evades Storm long enough to tag in Starkz instead.
Billie offers a handshake, but it was a ruse as she hits a snap-mare. Storm fights back from the ropes for a dropkick and a backbreaker before Windsor tags in for a double-team. They take turns attacking Starkz in the corner before taking a “dance” to lay in one last shot.
From there, we see Athena rush in, only to be quickly dispatched before Alex goes back after Starkz. She sends her to the ropes for a DDT to get a two-count, before Athena breaks it up. Athena and Starkz drop Storm to the floor, but is quickly fought off by Windsor.
Windsor sends Billie back in the ring to get back on the attack. Athena tags in for a double team, dropping Windsor with a vicious spine-buster. On that note, the show shifts gears and heads into a mid-match commercial break as the action in this women’s tag-team tilt continues.
When the show returns, we see Starkz makes the tag for a double-team with Athena on Windsor. This gets Storm riled up, forcing the ref to intervene and allowing Starkz to get even more damage in on Alex before bringing her to the center of the ring. Windsor fights back, missing a discus punch when Starkz evades but landing a headbutt to send her to the mat.
Athena manages to get a tag in, keeping Windsor away while Starks pulls Toni off the apron. Windsor sends Athena to the corner now, using the ropes for speed before landing a lariat. Liger Bomb follows for a near-fall, before Starkz breaks it up. Storm rushes in, getting attacked by Athena.
We see Windsor beat down Athena and then drive her into the mat with authority for a two-count, which is broken up by a senton atomico by Starkz. The tag is finally made to Toni now, and she goes off on Athena and Starkz who gets the tag in, only to be sent to the mat with a Lou Thesz press.
As the action continues, Storm continues to dominate. She goes for and hits her trademark hip attack spot in the corner. Instead of that being where things end, we see her nearly get her head taken off by “The Forever Champion” Athena, who follows up with the pin for the victory. She tells Storm it’s her time now.
Winners: Athena & Billie Starkz
Hangman Page Punks Out MJF
Backstage we see Renee Paquette standing by with AEW World Champion Hangman Page, who is quickly interrupted by MJF who is upset about Page not wanting to defend the title against him unless he executes his World Title contract.
He brings up Swerve Strickland being a real man unlike Hangman in an attempt to rile up the champ, but this gets turned around on him when Hangman tells him that if he wants to go after the title he needs to face and beat Mark Briscoe.
He tells MJF that Briscoe is a man he’s respected for over a decade. MJF just scoffs at this and makes another crack at Hangman, prompting Hangman to point out that The Hurt Syndicate isn’t with him right now.
With that in mind, Hangman says there’s nothing stopping him from kicking his ass right here and right now. MJF backs off like a cowardly heel. The commentators promote Ricochet vs. Mark Briscoe coming up next.
Willow Nightingale And Thekla Have A Date For A Fight
On that note, the show heads into another commercial break. When the show returns, before we head back inside the arena, we shoot backstage again for a brief interview with Willow Nightingale. She confirms that she and Thekla will finally do battle on AEW Collision.
Ricochet vs. Mark Briscoe
It’s main event time!
Back inside the arena, we hear the familiar sounds of Ricochet’s theme music. Out he comes. He settles in the ring for the final scheduled match of the evening. The theme for his opponent hits as we hear “Reach for the sky, boy!”
With that said, the master of Redneck Kung Fu himself, Mark Briscoe, makes his way out to the ring to a big pop from the Chicago crowd. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this week’s AEW Dynamite main event of the evening.
As the match gets underway, we see some good back-and-forth action early on. As Briscoe starts to pull ahead into a comfortable offensive lead, we see The Gates of Agony duo of Bishop Kaun and Toa Leona make their way out and settle in at ringside.
Ricochet uses the distraction to shift the offensive momentum in his favor. He knocks Briscoe out to the floor, hits the ropes to build up a full head of steam, and then soars over the ropes, splashing onto the Redneck Kung Fu master at ringside.
On that note, the show shifts gears and settles into the final mid-match commercial break of the evening as our main event continues. When the show returns, we see more back-and-forth action until Briscoe ultimately picks up the win. Things were only getting started, however.
Winner: Mark Briscoe
MJF Attacks Mark Briscoe, Hangman Page Makes The Save
Once the match wrapped up, Briscoe got on the microphone and told the Chicago crowd that the show isn’t over yet, in fact it’s just getting started. He brings up MJF mocking his dead brother multiple times. He calls out MJF.
The theme for MJF hits but he ends up appearing on the big screen instead. He tells Briscoe he spoke to the lead mark, Tony Khan, and a main event is set between them for next week’s AEW Dynamite. He says, “that is, if you make it.”
On that note, MJF attacked Briscoe live in the ring from behind. He beats him down until finally the AEW World Champion Hangman Page runs out to make the save, chasing MJF off. That’s how this week’s show goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!
