The electric atmosphere of All Elite Wrestling is about to explode once again as AEW Dynamite returns live on April 23, 2025! With rivalries reaching their boiling point, championship stakes higher than ever, and surprises lurking around every corner, this edition of Dynamite promises to be an unforgettable night of high-octane action.
Whether you’re tuning in live on TBS, streaming online, or catching up later, this is your ultimate preview for everything you need to know before the bell rings. From confirmed matches to bold predictions, backstage drama, and potential surprises, we’re breaking it all down.
🔥 Main Event Madness: What’s at Stake?
AEW World Championship – Swerve Strickland (c) vs. “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson
The biggest match of the night sees Swerve Strickland defending his AEW World Championship against the legendary Bryan Danielson in what could be a Match of the Year contender.
- Swerve’s Reign: Since capturing the gold, Strickland has been an unstoppable force, blending ruthless aggression with unmatched charisma. But Danielson, in what might be his final full-time year, is hungrier than ever.
- Danielson’s Last Ride? Rumors suggest Bryan may be winding down his in-ring career, making this potentially his last shot at the AEW World Title. Will he cement his legacy, or will Swerve prove why he’s the future of AEW?
- X-Factor: Don’t be surprised if Prince Nana or a debuting star interferes, setting up an even bigger feud for Double or Nothing.
Grudge Match: Adam Copeland vs. Christian Cage – “I Quit” Match
Two lifelong friends turned bitter enemies collide in what could be their final battle.
- Blood Feud: Since turning on Copeland, Christian Cage has tormented his former friend at every turn, even costing him the TNT Championship. Now, with no rules and no escape, only one man will be left standing.
- Retirement Stipulation? Speculation is rampant that the loser may be forced to retire. If so, this could be a career-defining (or career-ending) night for one of these legends.
💣 Must-See Undercard Matches
AEW Women’s World Championship – Toni Storm (c) vs. Thunder Rosa
“Timeless” Toni Storm has ruled the women’s division with an iron fist, but Thunder Rosa is back with vengeance on her mind.
- Storm’s Hollywood Reign: Toni’s gimmick has made her one of the most entertaining champions in AEW history, but Rosa’s hard-hitting style could bring her back down to earth.
- Marina Shafir Wildcard: Shafir has been lurking around both women—could she cost someone the match?
TNT Championship Open Challenge – Will Ospreay (c) vs. ???
Will Ospreay has vowed to defend his TNT Championship weekly, and this week’s mystery opponent could be a huge surprise.
- Possible Challengers:
- Kazuchika Okada (If he’s not tied up in another feud)
- Konosuke Takeshita (Looking to reclaim gold)
- AEW Debut? Could this be the night a shocking free agent appears?
Tag Team Turmoil – The Young Bucks vs. FTR
The greatest tag team rivalry of the modern era continues as The Young Bucks and FTR go to war once again.
- Storyline Heat: The Bucks have been playing mind games, even mocking FTR’s old-school style. Will this be a straight-up wrestling classic, or will outside interference play a role?
- Future of the Division: The winners could be next in line for a shot at the AEW Tag Team Championships.
🔮 Bold Predictions & Surprises
1. MJF Returns
Maxwell Jacob Friedman has been conspicuously absent since his injury. With Double or Nothing around the corner, could the “Devil” make his grand return to set up a summer blockbuster?
2. Mercedes Moné Makes Her Move
Mercedes has been teasing a major announcement. Will she challenge Toni Storm? Align with a new faction? Or even bring in another WWE defector?
3. Samoa Joe Seeks Revenge
After losing the AEW World Championship, Samoa Joe has been on a warpath. Could he crash the main event and set up a three-way feud?
4. Sting’s Last Laugh?
The Icon may be retired, but his presence still looms large. Could we see a surprise appearance to set up a final chapter for Darby Allin?
