The Stage is Set: AEW Dynamite on April 9th, 2025
AEW has consistently raised the bar for professional wrestling, blending athleticism, storytelling, and larger-than-life characters into a product that feels fresh and exciting. The April 9th episode of Dynamite is no exception. With the road to Double or Nothing 2025 heating up, this episode is poised to be a pivotal moment in AEW’s calendar. From championship showdowns to personal vendettas, the card is stacked with matches and segments that will leave fans talking for weeks to come.
Confirmed Matches and Segments (So Far)
While AEW is known for its surprises, several matches and segments have already been confirmed for the April 9th episode. Here’s a breakdown of what’s officially on tap:
1. AEW World Championship Match: MJF (c) vs. Adam Cole – One Last Time?
The rivalry between MJF and Adam Cole has been nothing short of epic. From their early days as uneasy allies to their brutal battles over the AEW World Championship, these two have defined AEW in 2024 and 2025. MJF, the self-proclaimed “Devil,” has held the title for over a year, using every trick in the book to retain his gold. But Adam Cole, the resilient and beloved fan favorite, has vowed to dethrone MJF once and for all.
This match is being billed as “One Last Time,” with both men promising to end the other’s career. Will MJF’s cunning and underhanded tactics secure another victory, or will Adam Cole finally achieve his dream of becoming AEW World Champion? The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the emotional weight of this match is sure to resonate with fans worldwide.
2. TBS Championship Match: Jamie Hayter (c) vs. Thunder Rosa
Jamie Hayter has been a dominant force in the women’s division, holding the TBS Championship with an iron grip. But Thunder Rosa, the former AEW Women’s World Champion, is determined to reclaim her spot at the top of the division. This match promises to be a hard-hitting, fast-paced encounter, with both women known for their intensity and technical prowess.
Will Hayter continue her reign of dominance, or will Thunder Rosa prove that she’s still one of the best in the world? This match could easily steal the show.
3. Tag Team Turmoil: The Young Bucks vs. FTR vs. The Acclaimed – #1 Contender’s Match
The AEW Tag Team Division is arguably the best in the world, and this triple-threat match is a testament to that. The Young Bucks, FTR, and The Acclaimed are three of the most talented and popular teams in AEW, and they’ll collide to determine the next challengers for the AEW World Tag Team Championships.
Expect high-flying maneuvers, technical mastery, and plenty of drama as these teams leave it all in the ring. The chemistry between these teams is undeniable, and this match could easily be a show-stealer.
4. Chris Jericho’s “Festival of Friendship 2.0”
Chris Jericho has promised a major announcement on the April 9th episode of Dynamite, and rumors are swirling about what it could be. Some speculate that Jericho will unveil a new faction, while others believe he’ll challenge for a championship. One thing is certain: whenever Jericho is involved, entertainment is guaranteed.
The original “Festival of Friendship” is one of the most memorable segments in AEW history, and if Jericho is bringing it back, fans can expect the unexpected.
5. Swerve Strickland vs. Darby Allin – Grudge Match
Swerve Strickland and Darby Allin have been at each other’s throats for weeks, with their rivalry escalating into a personal war. Both men are known for their willingness to push their bodies to the limit, and this match is expected to be a brutal, high-stakes encounter.
Will Swerve’s cunning and athleticism prevail, or will Darby’s unrelenting spirit and daredevil style secure the victory? This is a match you won’t want to miss.
What Else to Expect: Rumors, Surprises, and Speculation

3. The Next Chapter in the Blackpool Combat Club Saga
The Blackpool Combat Club has been one of the most dominant factions in AEW, but recent tensions between Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson, and Claudio Castagnoli have fans wondering if the group is on the verge of a breakup. Will the April 9th episode shed light on the future of the BCC?
4. A Major Debut or Return?

Very good show
I think his Ic run being so long hurt him as a credible world champion. It’s like he fought all the same guys and crushed them for a mid card belt now we are supposed to believe they are an actual challenge to him as a world champion? Lol when they took the intercontinental title off of him they should have moved him to SmackDown and put a new list of challengers in front of him. And moved Cody and the WWE championship to raw
Very good episode,
imagine being deluded enough to think a multi billion dollar company with guys who literally have wrestling in their blood hot shoted a heel turn storyline because they booked themselves into a corner. are you serious dude? that is the most ridiculous thing i have read in a minute lol. good luck bro.
Great episode.
Punk/Cody was there for the taking and Cena could’ve gone up against Gunther.
They knee jerked a heel turn because they booked themselves into a nepotism corner
Very good show
honestly don’t get the hate. like sure, there’s no major story here YET. But Punk/Rollins/Reigns has a lot of potential to be a high quality match. I’m legit looking forward to it and love that these three have wound up in a match together.
Great episode.
The triple threat match between them at Wrestlemania is gonna be awesome. Super stoked for this match
Great show
Let’s mention the women’s match in every live/hate challenge. Easiest task for this group of “journalists” ever. Each one of these love/hates are more embarrassing than the last. We get it, women’s wrestling is amazing and should main event every show and if a women’s match is bad it’s because where it is on the card or the booking it’s never the talent, all the women are top tier wrestlers.
Very good show
You wanna find out who the real simps and shills are? Mark down anybody who defends that main event match! Even the diehard AEW fans are crapping on that main event. It was terrible.
This Moxley stuff is stinking out the entire show and the dude seems to think he is Brock Lesnar.
The sad part is that this wasn’t a terrible show overall and with all things taken into an account. But at the end of the day, a bad ending can ruin a whole show for a lot of people. “Game of Thrones season 8” style.
Great show
So the crux of it all is that the PLE started strong…then ended with a sour belch.
The fans most remember how you left them and the fans are going to remember this show with a resounding “bleh”!
And any casual fan who watched with their buddies who are more diehard fans, may have left the viewing saying aloud, “That guy was pretty good. He should go to WWE”.
Great show.
I’ve said before but I think one of the issues here is that Tony is a massive fan of NJPW and often looks to emulate their PPV card structure. NJPW cards typically build to a climax with the big matches back to back and tend not to feature cool down matches or spots. Problem is western audiences haven’t been conditioned for that over the last 40 years, so often results in burnout. Personally I would have laid out the card like below giving breathing spaces, opening with the Steel Cage match and building to the Hollywood Ending as the main event.
Storm vs. May
Mox vs. Cope
Hangman vs. MJF
Hurt Syndicate vs. Outrunners
Takeshita vs. Omega
Swerve vs. Ricochet
Okada vs. King
Mone vs. Watanabe
Ospreay vs. Fletcher
Great episode.
Very good show, but the ending is what people remember. WWE ended Elimination Chamber with a huge heel turn. AEW ended Revolution with that abominable ending.
it doesn’t totally undo a great show, but it might have done more harm than good.
Very good show
I can already see Trips the mark statues, Trips the mark with a 20 minutes speech, the camera focusing onTrips the mark every 30 seconds when he is on the crowd.
Great show.
I’m glad they are bringing it back to a nice venue. The idea of hosting it immediately after Smackdown is insane. Why not put a highlight show or broadcast the Hall of Fame instead of airing Smackdown that week.
best of the best
Very good show tonight
