Last-Minute Matches Added to July 9 AEW Dynamite

Just hours before the July 9 episode of AEW Dynamite was set to go live, Tony Khan hit Twitter with two big last-minute match announcements — proving that AEW’s go-home show before All In: Texas is still full of surprises.

In a pair of social media posts, Khan revealed that Ricochet will go one-on-one with Blake Christian in a revenge match. The backstory? Ricochet and the Gates of Agony destroyed Vanilla Baby and Big Shotty Lee at AEW Collision, and now Blake is looking to even the score.

Also confirmed — a tag team match featuring ROH World Champion Bandido and Brody King taking on Protoshita, the duo of Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher. Khan noted this was a follow-up to the team’s recent 7-on-7 win in Arena México.

These additions stack an already-loaded card, which includes a chaotic eight-man tag match, Samoa Joe in singles action, and a major women’s eliminator bout to determine the No. 2 entry in the Casino Gauntlet at All In: Texas.

Updated lineup for AEW Dynamite on July 9, 2025:

• Toni Storm and Mercedes Moné face-to-face ahead of All In: Texas
• “Talky-Talk” Segment: MJF and Mark Briscoe
• 8-Man Tag Match: Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & The Young Bucks vs. Hangman Page, Will Ospreay, Powerhouse Hobbs & Katsuyori Shibata
• Samoa Joe vs. Wheeler Yuta
• Women’s Casino Gauntlet Four-Way Eliminator: Megan Bayne vs. Tay Melo vs. Queen Aminata vs. Thekla
• Ricochet vs. Blake Christian
• Bandido & Brody King vs. Protoshita (Takesoup & Kyle Fletcher)

With All In: Texas right around the corner, tonight’s Dynamite is shaping up to be must-see TV — and Tony Khan clearly isn’t done adding heat to the fire.

As a reminder, Ringside News will be providing live play-by-play coverage of tonight’s show over in our AEW Dynamite coverage hub. Also keep checking back with Ringside News for more updates, because there could be several before the big show.
