To build anticipation for AEW WrestleDream 2025, there will be four matches on the “Tailgate Brawl” pre-show that will air on TNT before the pay-per-view goes live. With his problems with La Faccion Ingobrenable seemingly behind him, Eddie Kingston will once again be in action as he teams up with Hook for a tag team match, with their opponents still unknown at the time of writing. 

The Conglomeration are back to full strength thanks to the recent return of Orange Cassidy, and they have their sights set on the Death Riders. Cassidy will team up with Tomohiro Ishii, Kyle O’Reilly, and Roderick Strong, the latter of whom being adamant that he isn’t part of The Conglomeration (yet at least), to take on the formidable unit of Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, Daniel Garcia, and Wheeler Yuta. Finally, the newly formed Top Gods faction will feature in two tag team matches as FTR will take on JetSpeed, while Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford will take on the team of Harley Cameron and Willow Nightingale.
