Major Matches and Outcomes
The September 24, 2025 episode of AEW Dynamite, held at the Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, featured significant matches and pivotal story developments following the recent All Out pay-per-view.
In the opening match, AEW World Tag Team Champions Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) successfully defended their titles against The Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun and Toa Liona). The match showcased Brodido's resilience, culminating in a pinfall victory that solidified their championship reign.
The AEW Women's World Championship was on the line as Kris Statlander defended her title against Mina Shirakawa. Statlander retained her championship with a seatbelt pin after a competitive match, further establishing her status in the women's division.
In a highly anticipated Trios match, Mark Briscoe and Hologram teamed with the returning Orange Cassidy to face The Don Callis Family, represented by Kazuchika Okada, Konosuke Takeshita, and Hechicero. The match concluded with Cassidy's team winning by pinfall, marking a successful return for the fan-favorite wrestler after a lengthy injury hiatus.
Tony Khan's Announcement
AEW President Tony Khan made a significant announcement during the broadcast, unveiling the introduction of the AEW Women's World Tag Team Championships. This new title aims to enhance the women's division, providing opportunities for more female wrestlers to compete for gold and gain visibility on the roster.
Storyline Developments
The episode also advanced several ongoing storylines. After her title defense, Kris Statlander rejected an invitation to join The Death Riders, a faction led by Jon Moxley. In a dramatic moment, she clotheslined Wheeler Yuta, a member of the group, and flipped off Moxley, asserting her independence.
Darby Allin, who has been embroiled in a feud with Moxley, concluded the show by challenging him to an "I Quit" match at the upcoming WrestleDream event on October 18, 2025. Allin's fiery entrance with a flamethrower underscored the intensity of their rivalry.
Criticism & Opposition
While the episode was well-received, some fans expressed concerns about the pacing of storylines and the integration of returning wrestlers like Cassidy. Critics noted that while Cassidy's return was celebrated, the focus on multiple storylines could dilute the impact of individual narratives.
