On July 9, 2025, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) delivered a pulse-pounding edition of its flagship show, “Dynamite,” just days ahead of the highly anticipated All In Texas pay-per-view. Broadcasting live from the Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena in Baltimore, Maryland, the episode packed in major story developments, memorable moments, and high-stakes matches that set the tone for what promises to be one of AEW’s biggest events of the year.
The night’s main event featured an explosive eight-man tag team showdown, with Jon Moxley teaming up with The Young Bucks to take on Hangman Adam Page’s faction. In a hard-fought battle filled with brutal exchanges and tag-team precision, Moxley and The Bucks secured the win. The aftermath was no less dramatic. A visibly agitated Hangman Page responded to the loss by wrapping a steel chain around his neck—a direct signal to Moxley of his readiness for their upcoming Texas Death Match. The intense visual served as a symbolic prelude to what fans can expect when the two clash in Texas.
Elsewhere on the card, the AEW Women’s World Championship picture grew more volatile as reigning champion Toni Storm confronted her All In challenger, Mercedes Moné. The encounter quickly escalated from verbal jabs to a physical altercation that had to be broken up by officials. The tension between the two has been steadily building, and this latest brawl only heightened expectations for their championship bout, which is already being touted as a show-stealer.
Another standout moment came in the form of a bold, destructive statement by Swerve Strickland. In a pre-taped segment, Strickland used heavy machinery to obliterate The Young Bucks’ limousine, sending a clear message ahead of his and Will Ospreay’s tag team match against the Bucks at All In Texas. With the added stipulation that a loss would cost Strickland and Ospreay their title contention for a full year—or force The Young Bucks to resign from their executive roles if they lose—the stakes could not be higher.
Beyond the headline acts, the episode featured several high-quality undercard matches that helped flesh out the competitive landscape. Samoa Joe showcased his dominance by making Wheeler Yuta tap out in a quick but impactful contest. Ricochet, continuing his rise in AEW, notched a win over Blake Christian in a fast-paced bout that further established his presence. In the women’s division, Megan Bayne triumphed in a four-way match, earning a crucial spot in the Women’s Casino Gauntlet scheduled for the pay-per-view, signaling her intent to rise within the title ranks.
This installment of Dynamite served as AEW’s final promotional push before the All In Texas event, set to take place on July 12, 2025, at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. The pay-per-view will be AEW’s first in a Major League Baseball stadium and marks the company’s boldest attempt yet to capture mainstream attention with a blockbuster card. The show includes Jon Moxley defending the AEW World Championship against Hangman Page in a Texas Death Match, Toni Storm battling Mercedes Moné for the Women’s title, and a highly anticipated unification match between Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada for the AEW Unified Championship. The tag match between The Young Bucks and the duo of Strickland and Ospreay adds yet another layer of intrigue with its career-altering consequences.
All In Texas will air live worldwide on pay-per-view, with the main card starting at 2:00 p.m. Central Time, preceded by the Zero Hour pre-show at noon. With so many storylines reaching a boiling point, the July 9 episode of Dynamite effectively primed fans for a monumental evening of wrestling action. AEW has successfully built a card that combines top-tier in-ring performance with high narrative stakes, ensuring that All In Texas will be a defining moment in the promotion’s 2025 calendar.
