Welcome to Wrestling Inc.’s live coverage for “AEW Dynamite” on July 30, 2025, coming to you live from the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Illinois!

“Hangman” Adam Page previously dethroned Jon Moxley as AEW World Champion in a Texas Death Match at AEW All In on July 12, with several people including The Death Riders, Swerve Strickland, Darby Allin, and Bryan Danielson being among those to get involved. Tonight, Page will be putting his title on the line against Moxley once again, but this time, no one will be permitted to be at ringside.

AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm will be joining forces with longtime rival Alex Windsor to square off with Ring Of Honor Women’s World Champion Athena and her protege Billie Starkz. Not only was Starkz unsuccessful in defeating Storm to earn a future AEW Women’s World Championship match against her in an Eliminator Match last Wednesday, but Windsor (who unsuccessfully challenged Athena for the Ring Of Honor Women’s World Championship last Saturday on “AEW Collision”) aided Storm in a post match beat down that Athena and Starkz launched on her.

The quarterfinals of the Forbidden Door World Tag Team Championship Eliminator Tournament will be continuing, as Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson of The Young Bucks will be going head-to-head with The Outrunners’ Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd. FTR and The Bang Bang Gang both advanced to the semifinals when they defeated JetSpeed last Wednesday and Big Bill and Bryan Keith last Saturday respectively in quarterfinals matches to earn the right to face one another.

Additionally, MJF will be appearing on tonight’s show after tensions between him and the rest of The Hurt Syndicate arose last Wednesday, stemming from a backstage confrontation in which MJF questioned why Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, and MVP leaving him behind while assisting Cope in beating down FTR only for Lashley to tell MJF he wanted him out of the stable.

We are live! Taz, Excalibur, and Tony Schiavone greet audiences at home as The Outrunners make their way to the ring. The Young Bucks are already waiting in the ring.

Truth Magnum and Nick Jackson begin the action. The bell rings and Magnum delivers a bodyslam to Nick. Turbo Floyd tags in and The Outrunners double team on Nick. Matt comes to his brother’s aid, but The Outrunners deliver double back body drops on both Nick and Matt before raining down right hands on them in opposite corners.

Matt and Nick level Floyd with a double back elbow and hit their signature pose, but Nick and Magnum tag in. Magnum charges at Matt in the corner, but Matt sees him coming and tags in. Nick delivers a neckbreaker to Magnum, then lands an enzuigiri on him from the apron as Matt delivers a clothesline to him in the corner. Nick tags in and The Bucks deliver a cannonball-enzuigiri combination to Magnum. Nick then lands an escalara on Floyd off the top rope on the outside of the ring.

Back from the break, Floyd lands a splash on Matt and follows it up with a modified Northern Lights Bomb. The Outrunners look to land a double back elbow on Matt, but Nick breaks things up with a superkicks to Floyd and Magnum’s arms as they set up for the move. Nick lands a superkick on Magnum.

Nick delivers a jump up knee strike on Magnum and follows it up with an Assisted Sliced Bread on him with Matt. Magnum rolls up Matt, but Matt kicks out and low blows Magnum whilst distracting the referee. The referee shoves Matt, and Magnum rolls him up. Magnum kicks out, but Nick looks to land a superkick on Magnum. Magnum kicks out, but Floyd tags in and The Outrunners land Total Recall on Matt. Nick breaks the fall, and The Bucks respond with the TK Driver to Floyd for the win.

Winners: The Young Bucks

After the match, Kazuchika Okada join The Bucks in the ring, and the trio continue beating down The Outrunners. Swerve Strickland’s music hits, and he makes his way to the ring along with Prince Nana. The Outrunners gain the upper hand over The Bucks, then beat down Okada with Strickland. Strickland then connects with the Swerve Stomp on The Elite. 

We then head backstage, where MJF knocks on The Hurt Syndicate’s locker room. Shelton Benjamin emerges and informs MJF that MVP isn’t in the arena because he’s upset with MJF, then points out that the watch MJF had previously given him is a cheap knockoff and says The Hurt Syndicate has been on to him the entire time because of it. He tells MJF to get away from them, then officially tells MJF that he’s out of the group.

Tony Schiavone introduces Cage, and he makes his way to the ring. Schiavone asks Cage about The Patriarchy kicking him out at All In and Cope subsequently telling him to find himself, and Cage introduces himself before admitting that he’s an a**h***. He says he was obsessed with becoming AEW World Champion no matter the cost, and he was ready to fulfill his destiny at AEW Revolution earlier this year. He says when he looked at the canvas, he caught a glimpse of his past and became an a**h*** with feelings. He says it cost him anything, then says he didn’t think that Nick Wayne, Mother Wayne, and Kip Sabian were competent enough to kick him out of the group. He asks Nick, Mother Wayne, and Sabian what they know about taking risks.

Cage addresses Cope and asks him if the things he’s said to him in AEW were that bad. He says Cope was an opportunist who did some unsavory things to get to the top, then says he was simply conducting business. He says Cope told him to find himself, and says maybe he did but maybe he didn’t. He says himself and Cope are very different, and yet the same.

Cage says The Patriarchy decided that they didn’t need a patriarch anymore, and says he’s “found himself in holes before”. He says he’s always managed to climb out of the holes that he’s been buried in, then says Nick may think he’s had a little success as Ring Of Honor World Television Champion but questions how he’ll show up when he has to defend his title. He says Nick has the audacity to call himself the new face of AEW, and he has every tool to be that, but he’ll have to go through him to get there. He then informs Nick and Sabian that he’s disowning the both of them.

Mother Wayne looks to slap Cage, but Cage catches her hand. He spots Sabian sneaking up behind him, but not Nick sneaking up on the other side of him. Mother Wayne hands Nick and Sabian a pair of chairs, then both hit Cage with them with a double Con-Chair-To. Nick tells Cage that he disowns him and turned his back on him. 

Jon Moxley then makes his way to the ring. “Hangman” Adam Page follows. 

The bell rings and the two lock up. Page fires off forearm strikes on Moxley, then lands a chop on him. Moxley responds with a couple of his own, but Page wears Moxley down. Moxley delivers a German suplex to Page, then jams his knee into Page in the corner and rains down right hands on him. He jams his thumb into Page’s eye, then steps over him. Page lands a clothesline on Moxley on the apron, then flies over the top rope to level him on the outside and dumps him back inside the ring.

Page connects with a sit-out powerbomb on Moxley and goes for a pin, but Moxley kicks out and retreats to the outside. Page follows Moxley outside, but Moxley lands a piledriver on Page on top of the ring steps.
