AEW Dynamite Preview for July 2, 2025: Confirmed Matches, Start Time and How to Watch

AEW always works hard to make Dynamite entertaining, and the July 2nd episode was no exception. It’s the special 300-episode edition of Dynamite, so fans could look forward to plenty of exciting matches all night.

TBS Championship: Mercedes Moné (c) vs. Mina Shirakawa

Mercedes Moné puts her TBS title on the line against Mina Shirakawa in a rematch from earlier this year. The CEO is willing to risk it all just so that she can show the world why she’s the best, so we’ll have to see if Shirakawa will end up pulling off the upset.

Kota Ibushi vs. Kazuchika Okada (Non-Title)

Kota Ibushi returned on AEW television last month and immediately took out Kazuchika Okada. The two are now set to square off against each other in a non-title match and so fans are excited to see who will come out on top when all is said and done.

Casino Gauntlet Qualifier: MJF vs. Brody King vs. Anthony Bowens vs. AR Fox

MJF, Brody King, Anthony Bowens and AR Fox will face each other in a four-way match to determine the No. 2 entry in the upcoming Casino Gauntlet Match at All In: Texas. Considering the stakes involved, the match is definitely expected to be a hard-hitting one from start to finish.
