AEW DYNAMITE RESULTS – JULY 16, 2025
This week’s show kicks off with a cold open inside the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Ill., as Tony Schiavone is seen standing in the middle of the ring.
Hangman Page Kicks Off This Week’s Show
He then introduces the brand new AEW World Champion Hangman Page, who limps his way to the ring to deafening “Cowboy sh*t!” chants. He settles in the ring to a sustained standing ovation, followed by the obligatory, “You deserve it!” chants. Hangman says some of the people saying that don’t seem to understand things properly.
Hangman goes on to say it is the fans that deserve it. The fans cheer and then break out in a loud “We deserve it!” chant. Hangman says for everyone in the building tonight, everyone in Texas and everyone at home, every single week, they are the ones who needed and demanded and supported a grass roots, do-it-yourself approach to pro wrestling.
Page says the fans are the ones who started a revolution that changed the wrestling world. They are the ones who created All Elite Wrestling. Fans break out in a loud “AEW! AEW!” chant, and then a “Thank you, Hangman!” chant, as Hangman mentions fans deserving to see the AEW title and it being held by someone who has the gratitude for them.
He goes on to thank several individual people for being the AEW World Champion. Among them are Orange Cassidy, Jay White, Adam Copeland, The Opps, Bryan Danielson, Darby Allin, Will Ospreay and even Swerve Strickland, the last of whom he questions if he helped him to help himself, or to help AEW or for once to actually help Hangman. That wraps up the opening segment.
The Young Bucks Downgrade In Lifestyle Begins
After a lengthy recap video package looking back at highlights and key moments from the AEW All In: Texas pay-per-view over the weekend, we return to footage of The Young Bucks duo of Nicholas and Matthew Jackson, now no longer AEW EVPs, arriving in an Uber, and having to carry their own bags.
Kyle Fletcher vs. Mascara Dorada
Back inside the Aragon Ballroom, Kyle Fletcher makes his entrance for our opening contest. Commentary looks back at All In Texas and Dustin Rhodes winning the TNT Championship as Fletcher enters the ring, and out next is Mascara Dorada. The bell sounds and off we go.
Early on, we see Fletcher looking all business, as he charges at Dorada in the corner for some stomps, wearing the luchador down to boos from the crowd. Dorada starts to fight back but is sent to the ropes by the Protostar, as the crowd lets Don Callis know how they feel about him.
Dorada hits the ropes for speed leading to an exchange between he and Fletcher, until Dorada sends him to the mat with an arm drag. Shoulder to Kyle from the ropes before going up top for a missile dropkick to keep Fletcher down…but Kyle manages to send the luchador to the outside before going for a dive, only for Dorada to evade him
This sets him up for a torneo that sends the Protostar to the floor. He brings Fletcher back to the ring, but it’s Kyle who takes control of the match now. We head to a mid-match commercial break on that note. When the show returns, we see the action still in progress, culminating with Fletcher hitting his brainbuster-style finisher for the win.
Winner: Kyle Fletcher
The Young Bucks Make Nice With Don Callis
“Earlier today” backstage footage is shown again of The Young Bucks’ continued downgrade in lifestyle. We see the two walking the backstage area and being mocked for their big loss at All In: Texas before bumping into Marina Shafir on their way to their locker room.
We see a stagehand scratching out the EVP note on the label to really emphasize their predicament. As the staffer walks away, Ricochet and the Gates of Agony appear to needle them even more about it before walking off. Don Callis appears. He says it’s a shame how losing one match means these two are being treated like jobbers.
Don Callis says now that Kenny Omega is “dead” he’s willing to help the Bucks out. They think about this before one points outto the other how they need as many friends as they can get right now. They eventually begrudgingly hug it out with Callis, stepping into the locker room. The show heads to another commercial break.
Backstage With MJF & The Hurt Syndicate
Now we shoot to backstage footage filmed immediately after AEW All In: Texas. MVP is standing with MJF and The Hurt Syndicate. He begs for one of these legendary tag teams to step up and try and take the tag titles from Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin.
MJF, meanwhile, congratulates Hangman Page on winning the AEW World Championship. He says it would’ve been easy to beat “dictator Jon” Moxley, but with Page he has something to prove. He loses his cool and yells that Hangman is not the best. MJF is the best. He says he doesn’t even need his Casino Gauntlet contract, it’s just “a break glass in case of emergency” situation.
All Star 8-Man Tag
The Young Bucks, Josh Alexander & Hechicero vs. JetSpeed, Bandido & Brody King
Back inside the Aragon Ballroom, we hear the familiar sounds of the theme music for Josh Alexander, who makes his entrance for our second match of the evening, the All-Star 8 Man Tag. After he and Hechicero make their way out, The Young Bucks come out. They pose and wait for pyro, but get none.
Their video screen changes their names from Nicholas and Matthew Jackson to Nick and Matt in a basic font, along with a screen pointing out that they’re no longer AEW EVPs. In the ring, “The Dapper Yapper” Justin Roberts does a very half-assed introduction for them to emphasize their downgrade in lifestyle even further.
Out next comes their opponents. First out are the duo of JetSpeed, Kevin Knight and “Speedball” Mike Bailey. They stop at the top of the stage and wait for their partners. Out first comes ROH World Champion Bandido to a big pop, and then Brody King to the same. They head to the ring and the bell sounds to get things going.
Kicking things off for their respective teams are King and Alexander, who trade strikes before Josh finds himself unable to take Brody off his feet. They mouth off at each other before Josh sends King back with strikes, only for Brody to drop him to a knee with a massive chop.
Alexander looks for a tag but the Bucks step off the apron, forcing Hechicero to tag in. Bandido gets the tag as well as a “lucha libre” chant greets the pair while they trade offense of their own. Bandido charges at Hechicero in the corner before taking him to the mat with a hurricanrana.
A tag is made to Knight, who calls in Bailey for the assist in taking down Hechicero before Matt and Nick try to intervene. This results in JetSpeed going after the former EVPs to drop them on the floor outside. Back in the ring, Kevin gets back on the attack until the Bucks come running in once more.
Chaos ensues as they land superkicks on Brody and Knight, before propping up Bailey on the ropes for a stomp into a powerbomb, and then an escalera to send the chaos to the outside. On that note, the show shifts gears and heads into a mid-match commercial break.
When the show returns, we see Knight on the defensive, with the heel team utilizing frequent tags to keep a fresh man on him at all times, and to keep him as far away from his corner as possible. Once he’s down and out, now The Young Bucks want to finally tag in. They come in and go for an EVP Trigger.
They never hit it, however, as they stop when they don’t know what to yell, and Knight takes over and tags.
