AEW Dynamite Results (5/7/2025): Live Match Updates and Highlights

The show opens up with a new theme song “You Wanted War!” by Sum 41. Excalibur, Taz and Tony Schiavone then welcome us.

Hangman Page then makes his way down to the ring and cuts an in-ring promo. Page says he has never understood why even one fan would cheer for him after everything he has done. A “Cowboy Shit” chant then breaks out. Page then tells the fans it does make a difference. Hangman then takes in the cheers of the crowd. Hangman then says he should not have to say it, but the past two years have been some kind of special hell. Hangman then says after what happened to him and his family, he wanted revenge and justice and he found it. Hangman then says he took from another man his hopes and dreams and nearly killed him.

Hangman then says after their cage match he stood on the ramp thinking he would feel some kind of joy but instead felt nothing. Hangman then says he doesn’t know why that happened and he will never forget or forgive Strickland for what he did to him. Hangman then says he’ll have to somehow put that behind him. Hangman then addresses the 2025 Men’s Owen Hart Cup Foundation Tournament and recalls beating Josh Alexander and Kyle Fletcher in the quarterfinals and semifinals respectively before saying he will beat Will Ospreay in the finals.

Will Ospreay’s music then hits and he makes his way down to the ring. Ospreay stares Hangman down and says it’s strange that this is the first time they have spoken to one another and it’s a pleasure for him to meet Hangman. Ospreay then says he can see Page is going through a lot and one of his favorite moments in wrestling is when he took The Dark Order and showed them what a leader is. Ospreay then says Page’s run as AEW World Champion was perfect, but after he lost the title everything changed for him and he gets what Page is going through. Ospreay then says the look in Page’s eyes hasn’t been seen for a very long time and while everyone including himself wants to see Page beat his demons, he has a problem with that. Ospreay then says he’s not losing to Page in the Men’s Owen Hart Cup Tournament Finals at Double or Nothing and he’s been doing all of Page’s jobs as Page has been nowhere to be found.

Ospreay and Page then stare each other down, but The Don Callis Family appears on the entrance ramp. Don Callis then says Ospreay proves how stupid he is to him every day, then asks if he knows the man who is standing in the ring next to him. Ospreay then stands up for Page and proposes a tag team match between him and Page against The Don Callis Family and Callis accepts as he continues to try driving a wedge between Ospreay and Page. Page and Ospreay then continue to stare at one another while Callis and his crew heads to the back. Ospreay then eventually leaves the ring.

Commentary then speaks about Page vs. Ospreay in the Owen Hart Cup tournament final for AEW Double Or Nothing and hypes Jon Moxley vs. Samoa Joe in a cage match for the AEW World Championship for next week’s Beach Break themed edition of Dynamite. Excalibur then runs through the lineup for tonight’s show.

Stokely Hathaway and FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) then confront Tony Schiavone at the commentary desk. Hathaway asks if Schiavone or Nigel McGuinness has an issue with FTR. Hathaway then says FTR apologized to both men, but Schiavone still has negative things to say about him and his team. Hathaway then calls Schiavone a decrepit, pasty, piece of shit. Schiavone then stands up and says that is enough. Hathaway then shoves Schiavone back into his chair. Schiavone then stands up, but Harwood and Wheeler stands in front of Hathaway. Wheeler then tells Schiavone to relax and shifts the focus to Daniel Garcia’s issues with them. Wheeler says whatever is happening at AEW Collision on Thursday will hurt them more emotionally than it would hurt Garcia. Harwood then tells Schiavone to tell McGuinness they will see him on Thursday’s Collision.

We then head to the back, where we see Anna Jay and Harley Cameron talking. Jay asks Cameron if she has her fat ass again this week. Cameron says she has the “T’s” and Jay has the “A”. Jay then hops on Cameron’s back before Cameron walks out.

Toni Storm, Thunder Rosa, Penelope Ford and Anna Jay then all make their way down to the ring for the first match of the night.

MVP then introduces his allies and says they are the AEW World Tag Team Champions. MVP then says AEW is where the best wrestle. MVP then asks why teams aren’t stepping up for shots at the tag titles. MVP then asks if anyone would step up. Top Flight (Dante Martin and Darius Martin) then make their way down to the ring. Darius says they have been down on their luck lately. He then says teams like Cru are afraid because The Hurt Syndicate hurt people. Darius then says they get knocked down and get up every time. Dante then says they have held their own with championship caliber teams and he knows they can do it again. Darius then asks the fans if they wanted to see a miracle.

MJF then makes his way out and attacks Dante and Darius. MJF then sends Darius into the ring post and delivers some punches at Dante. Dante is bleeding after being sent into the ring steps.

Matthew Jackson then says it is a huge night for The Elite and notes that Kazuchika Okada will be in singles action. Okada then calls his opponent Kevin Knight a b***h and they make their exit. Ricochet then joins the Jacksons and says he knows they have a Swerve Strickland problem. Ricochet then says he has beaten Swerve twice and has his number. Ricochet then says if the Jacksons follow his lead, he will lead them to victory. The Jacksons are cool with Ricochet’s comments and Ricochet makes his exit.

We then head to the back, where we see The Young Bucks enter The Elite locker room and find The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Marina Shafir, Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta) waiting.

Nick Wayne is then introduced as the ROH World TV Champion. Christian Cage’s entrance music then interrupts the introduction and. he walks onto the stage with Mother Wayne and Kip Sabian.

We then head to the back, where Renee Paquette is interviewing Will Ospreay and MJF interrupts. MJF looks into the camera and plugs that Dynamite Diamond Rings are available for purchase. MJF then says make me richer and you poorer shop now. MJF then says he hopes Ospreay wins the Owen Hart Cup tournament and the AEW World Championship because taking the title from him will be like taking candy from a little British baby. Ospreay then questions why MJF isn’t in the Owen Hart Cup tournament if beating him is so easy. Ospreay then suspects there is some fear in MJF that he will pick him up and drop him on his head. MJF then says Ospreay is the reason they put directions on shampoo bottles. Ospreay then laughs. MJF then says he hopes they wrestle again because Ospreay will find out that nobody is on the level of the devil. MJF then turns to leave, but Ospreay pulls him back and delivers his on another level catchphrase.

We then get the sit-down interview between Renee Paquette and Jamie Hayter. Hayter takes issue with Mercedes Moné talking about Scooby-Doo characters and her legacy. Hayter then says she will be damned if Owen Hart’s legacy will be represented by Moné, who is the antithesis of what he stood for. Hayter then says she wants to get to know the real Mercedes. Hayter then says she doesn’t have Moné’s star power or credentials, but she has integrity. Paquette then brings up Hayter missing time due to a back injury. Hayter then cuts her off and says her back is fine. Hayter then says Moné is looking past her.

Statlander tells Willow that if she wouldn’t talk to her in the back, then they would do it here. Willow then says she didn’t think there was much left to be said. Willow then says Statlander is disappointed that she didn’t win the Owen Hart Cup. Willow then recalls that she could have won it last year had it not been for Statlander. Willow then ends the conversation. Statlander then starts to walk away, but Willow pulls her back. Willow then says if Statlander wants to meet in the ring on Collision there is a whole bunch of sickos who would love to see that. Willow then offers Statlander her hand. Statlander then shakes Willow’s hand and says she will see Willow there.

Kazuchika Okada then makes his way down to the ring for the next match of the night. Kevin Knight then follows, but RUSH blindsides him on the entrance ramp. He then sends Knight crashing into the ring steps and into the barricade repeatedly, but “Speedball” Mike Bailey comes to Knight’s aid.
