Hereâ€s an overall review of Wednesday nightâ€s episode of Dynamite courtesy of our live coverage page…

AEW Dynamite Review:

Wow. This was a fantastic show and absolutely worthy of an anniversary show for this company. We got a shocking return. Some great build for WrestleDream later this month and a lot of great in-ring action.

If not for one match kinda dragging the show down a bit, I think this would have been an “A†grade show for me. But I gotta go with an A- due to that. Thatâ€s still nothing to be ashamed of. Tonightâ€s show was excellent, and I think theyâ€ll follow things up strong next week with Title Tuesday as they go head-to-head with NXT and TNA.

Grade: A-

AEW World Champion Adam Page took a hard stance on social media after ICE recruitment ads aired multiple times during the October 1st, 2025 episode of AEW Dynamite.

Fans who tuned into the show were surprised to see commercials promoting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement airing during nearly every break—and Hangman wasnâ€t having it. Shortly after the broadcast ended, Page took to Bluesky to voice his frustration with the networkâ€s ad choices.

“f**k ice airing commercials during dynamite, let em know,†he wrote.

Page didnâ€t stop there—he followed up with direct links to both TBS and Warner Bros. Discoveryâ€s feedback forms, urging viewers to lodge official complaints.

The repeated ICE ads stood out during a program known for its progressive audience and talent. Many felt it clashed with the values that AEW and its fanbase generally support. While AEW itself doesnâ€t control what ads air during their timeslot, the backlash has now put pressure on Warner Bros. Discovery to reconsider what kind of spots they run during Dynamite.

As of now, neither TBS nor WBD has responded publicly to the criticism, but with the AEW World Champion leading the charge, fans are waiting to see if future broadcasts will still include controversial government recruitment ads.

What do you think about ICE ads airing during AEW Dynamite? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.

The wild pull-apart brawl between Adam Page and Samoa Joe on the October 1 episode of AEW Dynamite had fans talking—but one of the security guards trying to break it up has now been identified, and heâ€s no stranger to the ring.

Independent wrestler Leeroy Shogun took to social media to confirm that he was one of the guards who stepped in when Page and Joe started throwing hands after their tag team win over the Death Riders.

Shogun, based in Florida, has built a strong reputation on the indie scene, especially in promotions like Tampa Bay Pro Wrestling and POW, where heâ€s held the POW Florida Championship.

The AEW appearance placed him directly in the middle of Dynamiteâ€s segment, as Page and Joeâ€s partnership imploded post-match. The chaos escalated to the point where Page issued a challenge for the AEW World Championship at WrestleDream, and Joe accepted—making the title match official for the upcoming October 18 pay-per-view in St. Louis.

While Shogunâ€s role was brief, being part of one of AEWâ€s hottest angles is a major spotlight for an indie talent. His presence in a segment involving two of AEWâ€s top stars could open doors for more appearances down the line.

Should AEW give more indie wrestlers like Leeroy Shogun the spotlight? Could we see him in a match next time? Drop your thoughts in the comments.

The Don Callis Family keeps growing, and it’s getting to the point of ridiculous now, if it wasn’t already. The faction got two new members tonight, one return and one debut, which would be fine if it didn’t feel like everyone returning or debuting on AEW in the last few months was aligning themselves with Don Callis. The manager himself gets good heel heat, and it’s not to the point of “go-away heat” for me yet, but if this man takes up any more time on commentary, it might happen. I think the faction is also to the point where Callis doesn’t always need to insert himself into a backstage segment or come out to the ring. There are plenty of guys who are actual wrestlers to back up the other guys now. We know who is the brains behind the operation.

As I sit here and think about where both Andrade and El Clon would fit into the AEW picture right now, I’m left clueless. It almost seems as though if someone feels directionless, or there’s even the slightest chance that they might be, they’re just put with Callis. Andrade, I suppose I can understand and give a little bit of a break too, because I really have no clue where he would fit in to AEW during his second time around, and honestly, El Clon just really got the short end of the stick with Hologram’s injury, which is extremely unfortunate.

The faction is just so massive that not everyone gets television time on AEW’s flagship show on Wednesdays, which I fully admit is the only AEW I watch on a weekly basis, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. When they all united on the ramp following El Clon’s distraction in the TNT Championship match to help out Kyle Fletcher, poor Lance Archer and Rocky Romero were just hanging out in the back. In Romero’s case, I honestly forget he’s in the Callis Family at points.

I had to laugh, because during our last glimpse of the Callis Family tonight in a backstage segment, Don said something along the lines of, “just when you think we’re down and out!” and, no, Don, I can’t say I’ve even been given a single second to ever assume that about your ever-growing stable. I don’t think you can be down and out if you just keep growing in numbers.

I initially wasn’t too thrilled about all this Callis Family on tonight’s “Dynamite” without any Kazuchika Okada and Konosuke Takeshita tension, but thankfully, we at least got that in the backstage segment. We found out they’ll be taking on Brodido next week, so at least that’s one thing involving Callis and his army of a faction next week we can look forward to. Fletcher, Okada, and Takeshita are the best things going in the Callis Family right now, but they certainly have the numbers for someone else to step up to the plate, as well.

SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)…

Samoa Joe blew up at “Hangman” Adam Page after they won a six-man tag match on tonight’s AEW Dynamite, noting that Hangman has never defeated him. Hangman, moments later, offered Joe a shot at his AEW World Title later this month on the AEW WrestleDream PPV.

Later on Dynamite, during a backstage interview, Joe said he wasn’t surprised by Hangman’s response. He said there is no misunderstanding between them. He said he’s been so preoccupied by the Death Riders, he lost track of who he is. He said he needs to remind Hangman of who he is. He said he has never defeated him. “On any day that you have ever existed, you have never been greater than me,” he said. He said he is standing in “deep sh–.”

Samoa Joe is a former AEW World Champion. Joe held the title for nearly four months starting on Dec. 30, 2023 through April 21, 2024. Joe was out of action earlier this year after suffering an ankle injury on the set of “Twisted Metal.”

The third-annual AEW WrestleDream takes place on Oct. 18 in St. Louis, Mo. at Chaifetz Arena. Kenny Omega vs. Bryan Danielson for the AEW World Title headlined the first WrestleDream in 2023 and Will Ospreay vs. Konosuke Takeshita headlined the 2024 event.

The only other matches announced so far for WrestleDream are Jon Moxley vs. Darby Allin in an I Quit match and Kris Statlander vs. Toni Storm for the AEW Women’s Title. The Statlander-Storm match was also set up on Dynamite tonight.

It has been six years now since “AEW Dynamite” first launched on TNT on October 2, 2019, kicking off a run that has seen plenty of highs and lows for the promotion. Tonight, AEW will commemorate it all with their 6th Anniversary episode of “Dynamite,” featuring a loaded lineup that includes Kyle Fletcher defending the AEW TNT Title against Orange Cassidy, who replaces the injured Hologram, AEW Women’s Champion Kris Statlander teaming with Darby Allin to take on the Death Riders’ Wheeler Yuta and Marina Shafir, and Kenny Omega’s first AEW appearance in a month.

Though he won’t be on the card tonight, AEW star Anthony Bowens will be watching the show with great excitement, mainly because he believes there’s nothing quite as good as “AEW Dynamite” right now. Speaking with “Undisputed” ahead of tonight’s show, Bowens made several bold claims about “Dynamite,” the AEW roster, and his own future with the promotion.

“‘Dynamite is the best show on television,” Bowens said. “It’s the deepest roster, and it is the best entertainment every week. And for me on Dynamite, the best is yet to come.”

While 2025 has been seen as a comeback year for AEW as a whole, it’s been a mixed bag for Bowens, who ended his tag team with Max Caster to start the year and embarked on a singles career. After a strong start, Bowens found himself in the midst of a losing streak, while also being unable to escape Caster as the latter found himself dealing with his own struggles. The two reluctantly reunited last week on “Collision,” but despite a victory and the best efforts of Jerry Lynn, the duo remain at odds, with reconciliation appearing unlikely.

AEW DYNAMITE TV REPORT
SEPTEMBER 30, 2020
JACKSONVILLE, FLA. AT DAILYâ€S PLACE
LIVE ON TNT
REPORT BY WADE KELLER, PWTORCH EDITOR

Announcers: Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone, Excalibur, Taz

[HOUR ONE]

-Jim Ross introduced the show “from balmy Jacksonville, Florida.â€

(1) DARBY ALLIN vs. “ABSOLUTE†RICKY STARKS

As Starks came out, they showed Darby eliminating Starks in the Casino Battle Royal at All Out followed by a post-elimination attack, plus his spear of him last week. Taz joined the announcers in place of Schiavone who was pursuing an interview. As Darby began his entrance, a vignette aired with JPEGMAFIA calling Starks a bitch as he slid Darby, who was zipped up in a body bag, down a wooden ramp into a dirt landing.

Starks slapped Darby; Darby dropkicked Starks. When Starks went for a spear, Darby turned it into a front chancery. Darby suplexed Starks onto the ring apron, then dove through the ropes onto him at ringside. Brian Cage walked out. Will Hobbs ran out and yanked Cage away from the ring before he could enter. They brawled on the stage and to the back. Darby went back at Starks, but Starks yanked him off the ring apron hard to the floor.

Starks threw Darby into the ring and kicked and chopped away at him. Excalibur said both men were depleted by “this war of attrition,†but it was merely six minutes into the match. Darby came back with a sunset bomb for a near fall. Darby went for a submission, but Starks crawled to the ropes to force a break. They stood and exchanged strikes center-ring, with sweat flying with each slap. Starks speared Darby out of mid-air for a near fall. Both were slow to get up. Starks set up a move off the second rope, but Darby countered and kicked him off the top rope. Darby then landed a Coffin Drop onto Starksâ€s back for the win. Ross said it could have gone either way. Taz lamented the Starks loss on commentary.

WINNER: Darby in 10:00.

-The announcers previewed the rest of the show.

-Codyâ€s elaborate ring entrance took place. [c]

-After the break, the audience was chanting “Cody!†Dasha welcomed him back. She said his injury has been a bit of mystery, so she asked him how he is feeling. He said his trainer Al Snow told him heâ€ll always be hurt, but to never wrestle injured. He said he would have offered a retort if he knew what he knows now – which is what if the injury transcends the physical and the breaking of the body is secondary to the spirit.

Cody said pre-pandemic, everyone shook hands ad nauseum in wrestling locker rooms. He said often it is incorrectly framed as a sign of respect, but they shake hands for a different reason. He said they do it because they need each other. He said the marquee has two names on it – “you versus somebody else.â€

He said after he lost the TNT Title in 3 minutes, he got the 323 area code call that all wrestlers crave. He said it was Hollywood, and he jumped at it. He said he was sitting next to Rosario Dawson and Snoop Dogg and Jennifer Nettles, but he was the guy who got beat in 3 minutes. Dasha said heâ€s back on his feet now. Cody said his feet are planted firmly in the ground, and when he was gone, his ear was as well.

He said he heard people talking about being the Ace. He said AEW has been around a year, and heâ€d like to say thatâ€s him. He said it can only apply to Full Metal Champ Hikiru Shida, Jon Moxley, or Brodie Lee. Dasha asked if he accepts Brodieâ€s challenge for a dog collar match. He said optics in wrestling are incredibly important, and for a match as bloody and violent and unsafe as that, as the executive V.P., his answer must be no. The audience gasped. Cody turned and left. He made it to the stage, but then turned back to the ring and said, “No, as in no regrets, as in no looking back.†He yelled it will happen next week. “I accept!†he yelled emphatically.

Brodie Lee came out to the ring and went after Cody. The ring filled almost instantly with wrestlers who pulled them apart. Cody broke free and dove at Brodie in the opposite corner. Brodie broke free and was held back at ringside by Dark Order members. Brandi Rhodes ran out and flip dove onto a crowd of Dark Order and Brodie at ringside. Anna Jay attacked Brandi from behind. Other women pulled them apart. Five referees ran out. Nyla Rose joined in the fight. Brodie returned to the back as dust began to settle at ringside. Ross said Roddy Piper and Greg Valentine had the most famous dog collar match of all time. Brodie returned and got in a few more shots at Cody before they were separated again. As things seemed to settle, Brodie returned a third time. Taz said dog dollar matches are extreme brutal and violent. Ross said heâ€s maybe called merely five or six in his career.

(Kellerâ€s Analysis: Cody continues to broadcast star power and confidence. The whole scene made their match next week feel like a big deal.)

-Backstage Schiavone interviewed Tully Blanchard and FTR. Cash Wheeler said the Best Friends arenâ€t at their level and werenâ€t at their best last week. He called them glorified backyard wrestlers and “participation trophy guys.†He said SCU, though, are two of the best in the world and the first-ever AEW Tag Team Champions. He said they have to beat SCU to cement their legacy. Schiavone asked about the Young Bucks. Dax Harwood said The Young Bucks have blown their opportunities, so other than Dave Meltzer throwing them a bunch of stars, they arenâ€t deserving. Matt Jackson then superkicked Schiavone from off camera. He feigned innocence and asked if they interrupted something. “Hey Nick, wait up,†he said. (There remains no sign of Nick actually being there.) Dax told them to kick them instead.

-They went to the announcers. Ross called that reprehensible. Excalibur called it stupid and senseless and said he hates it. Taz said maybe he was sending a message. Ross replied, “Come on!†Taz admitted he felt bad for Tony.

-Dasha interviewed SCU backstage. Scorpio Sky said every once in a while opportunity knocks on your door, and itâ€s time to hop back on the train and see where it takes them. Kaz guaranteed victory. Christopher Daniels was in the background and patted them on the back. As they headed to the ring, they passed Shawn Spears who wished them good luck in a creepy way.

-SCU made their way to the ring. Ross noted Kaz guaranteed victory. Excalibur noted the 20 minute time limit. [c]

(2) FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood) vs. SCU (Scorpio Sky & Kaz w/Christopher Daniels) – AEW Tag Team Title match

“Hangman†Adam Page joined the announcers at ringside. He had a glass of whiskey and was all smiles. Excalibur plugged “Friends & Family Pods†are available for $25 per event with a Dynamite season pass. (If you attend a Dynamite TV event in person, let me know: wadekellerpodcast@gmail.com). Excalibur asked Page about Kenny Omegaâ€s comments about wanting to leave tag wrestling. Page hopefully said he hasnâ€t wrestled a singles match yet, so heâ€s not sure if itâ€s a sure thing at this point.

Cash faked being tripped by Daniels at ringside, so the ref tossed Daniels from ringside. Page called for Daniels to get him another drink. He also said FTR are great manipulators. When Ross asked Page for his thoughts on Matt Jackson superkicking Schiavone, he said everyone is losing their mind around there. Sky dove onto FTR at ringside when they were pursuing Kaz at ringside. Dax yanked Sky out of the ring by his boot. Cash then hit him from behind. They cut to a break, but stayed with the action on split-screen. [c/ss]

Sky was fighting out of FTRâ€s corner after the break. Sky had Dax down with a small package, but Cash distracted the ref so he didnâ€t make a count. Kaz got the hot-tag and rallied. Dax sunset flipped Kaz off the top rope and Cash dropkicked him to add momentum to the roll-up, leading to a near fall. Ross talked about the humidity after the 15 minute time announcement. Excalibur plugged Full Gear on Nov. 7.

Kaz fought free a minute later and tagged in Sky. Sky scored a near fall on Dax. Sky scored a near fall after a Cutter. Excalibur asked how embarrassing itâ€d be for FTR to lose on their first title defense. Page said itâ€s never embarrassing to lose to a team of SCUâ€s caliber. The action picked up with both teams trading advantages and near falls. Tully held onto Cash to stop Sky from pulling him to center ring, thwarting his momentum. A minute later, Tully tripped Sky mid-suplex and then held his foot to prevent him from kicking out as the ref counted three.

WINNERS: FTR in 18:00 to retain the AEW Tag Team Titles.

-They went to the announcers at ringside who announced there will be an eight-man tournament at Full Gear, with the winner getting a shot at Mox. He said they know three wrestlers already: Jungle Boy, Rey Fenix, and Kenny Omega. They cut to Page, who reacted as if he was betrayed and it had sunk in that Kenny really was abandoning their team to purse singles wrestling. He got up and left, looking like he was going to cry. Taz told Excalibur he should have told him privately first. [c]

(3) ISIAH KASSIDY (w/Marq Quen, Matt Hardy) vs. “DEMO GOD†CHRIS JERICHO (w/Sammy Guevara, Santana, Ortiz, Jake Hager)

The audience sang Jerichoâ€s song. Jericho smiled. The announcers talked about the 30th Anniversary Celebration of the start of Jerichoâ€s career next week.

[HOUR TWO]

Jericho palm-faced Kassidy at the bell and tried to intimidate him. Jericho turned his back. Kassidy jumped him. Taz said the Brooklyn kid knows how to fight. He went after Jericho aggressively. He scored a two count. Jericho stood up and knocked Kassidy to the mat. Ross said one of their “restaurant-quality picture-in-picture†breaks was coming up. Kassidy knocked Jericho to the floor. Jericho side-stepped him, but Kassidy backdropped him into the crowd. Luther clotheslined Jericho back over the ringside barricade to ringside. Kassidy then landed a corkscrew dive onto Hager, Sammy, and Jericho at ringside. He then landed a senton off the top rope for a two count. Excalibur noted this is Kassidyâ€s first singles match in AEW. Jericho took control and they cut to a break. [c/ss]

Jericho was in control after the break. Hager hit Kassidy as he bound into the ropes. Hager, who had a cut on the bridge of his nose, was bleeding. Kassidy avoided a Jericho charge into the corner. Kassidy scored another two count seconds later. And another a minute later. Kassidy lifted his knees on a Lionsault by Jericho, and then landed his own for a two count. He followed with a Code Breaker on Jericho for another two count. He looked exhausted. Both were slow to get up. Jericho caught Kassidy leaping at him with a Judas Effect for the win.

WINNER; Jericho in 12:00.

-Inner Circle entered and attacked Kassidy. Hardy entered quickly with a chair, so the heels fled. Jericho then got into it with Luther at ringside as Hager brawled with Serpentico. Excalibur said Jericho goes back with Luther to his time at Stu Hartâ€s Dungeon in Calgary. He said heâ€s one of his longest-running rivals.

-Kip Sabian talked with Miro about his bachelor party. They were at an arcade. Kip handed Miro balls to throw for a game. Miro said he never forgets his blue balls. They did some axe throwing and then video game playing. Miro said itâ€s a pandemic and itâ€s hard to plan a great party. Billy Mitchell offered to help.

-Dasha interviewed Orange Cassidy, Trent, and Chuck Taylor. FTR interrupted the interview and explained that their spot on the card is as comedic backyard style wrestlers. He said itâ€s okay that they arenâ€t top guys. Cassidy called them “weenies.â€

(4) ORANGE CASSIDY (w/Trent, Chucky T) vs. DARK ORDER #10 (a/k/a Preston Vance w/Colt Cabana, Alan Angels, John Silver)

Cassidy gave Silver his sunglasses. 10 attacked him from behind to take early control. Cassidy made a comeback a couple minutes in, dove onto a crowd at ringside, and then leaped at 10 in the ring. 10 caught him, but Cassidy countered and kipped up. He took off his elbow pad and delivered the Orange Punch and his Beach Break for the win.

WINNER: Cassidy in 3:00.

-MJF and Wardlow entered the Inner Circle locker room. He said he arrived with a wrapped gift. He congratulated Jericho on his big win. He presented each member with a jacket, but he ended up one short. He apologized to Sammy and he blamed Wardlow. Jericho asked what he was doing there. MJF said just to congratulate him. Jericho said he asked him before and asked him again: “Do you want to join the Inner Circle.†MJF said his question is does he want him to join. Jericho asked if he wants to. MJF asked if he wants him. They went back and forth and then told each other to stop. Wardlow and Hager took a step toward each other and things got tense in their staredown. MJF said he is so excited for Jericho surviving 30 years in this sport. He said itâ€s been legendary. MJF left and told them to enjoy the jackets. Jericho said to find Sammyâ€s. When they left, Sammy said, “What a loser!†Jericho stopped him and said maybe heâ€s not. [c]

(5) DR. BRIT BAKER (w/Reba) vs. RED VELVET

The announcers talked about this being her first match back since her injury. Velvetâ€s record of 0-7 was listed on the screen. (Thatâ€s a lot better than the Minnesota Twins playoff win/loss record the last 15 years, sadly.)

WINNER: Baker in 6:00.

(Kellerâ€s Analysis: Not sure it needed to be that long and competitive.)

-After the match, Reba gave Baker a glove and she put Velvet in the Lock Jaw. Ross said she is sending a message to all the other women that sheâ€s back.

-The announcers said next week will feature Brian Cage vs. Will Hobbs with the FTW Title belt on the line, Jericho & Hager vs. Serpentico & Luther, and Cody vs. Brodie Lee in a dog collar match for the TNT Title.

-Eddie Kingston came out with his arm around the referee Bryce Remsberg along with Pentagon Jr. & Rey Fenix. [c]

-Kingston said Mox put him in the bulldog choke last week, but he did not tap. He said Mox called Tony Khan afterward and told him to let him wrestle someone of Kingstonâ€s choice. He said heâ€s not feeling up to fighting Mox again after last weekâ€s battle, so he will disclose his choice momentarily who will be the man who will be kicking his ass. He asked the ref, whom he thought he was friend with for many years, why he ended the match. Remsberg said he was unresponsive. He said their families might be friends, but at work, he has to do his job, which includes protecting him from himself. Kingston didnâ€t like that. The three heels surrounded him until Moxâ€s music played. He came up through a tunnel in the bleachers with a barbed wire baseball bat. Taz sarcastically said, “Thereâ€s our hero.†The heels jumped to the floor as Mox entered the ring. Butcher approached Mox from behind as Kingston distracted him from ringside.

(6) JON MOXLEY vs. THE BUTCHER – AEW World Title match

Butcher dominated Moxley for a minute before they cut to a break. [c]

Butcher continued to dominate after the break for several minute. Mox made a comeback and hit a superplex. Butcher applied a leglock afterward mid-ring. Mox flipped out of it and landed a piledriver for a two count. Butcher came back with a crossbody for a two count. Mox DDTâ€d Butcher and applied his bulldog choke for the win. Moxley eyed Kingston, who threw a bit of a fit at ringside.

WINNER: Moxley in 8:00.

(Kellerâ€s Analysis: Giving Moxley a chance to get a clean win against a bigger foe who hadnâ€t been defined down much yet is never bad, especially as a hook for TV viewers.)

Britt Baker is showing love to her fans as questions continue to grow around her absence from AEW programming. The September 24, episode of AEW Dynamite was in Baker’s hometown of Pittsburgh, PA, but the DMD was not featured on the show.

Baker took to X to thank the fans who continue to show her support every day. While acknowledging that social media can be filled with “trolls,†she wanted to highlight the real fans who always have her back.

Weâ€re always so quick to burn the trolls on this app, but never quick enough to appreciate the true fans who show love every day. Thank you ??

— Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. (@RealBrittBaker) September 30, 2025

Once the top star of AEWâ€s womenâ€s division, Baker has seen her presence fade in recent years. Her last match came in November 2024 on Dynamite, capping off a year in which she wrestled only five times. Thatâ€s a sharp decline from her most active year in 2021, when she competed in 30 matches for AEW.

While Baker hasn’t been active, her days in the ring are not over. In August, Baker made clear she’s not retired, despite not competing for close to a year. The previous month, Tony Khan said he likes Britt a lot and they’ve never had any talks about her leaving AEW. Khan explained that TV time is limited, and Baker would be used when the time is right.

Months later, that time still hasnâ€t come. For now, though, Baker is keeping the focus on the positives—and on the fans who continue to stand by her.

Hologram appeared to have suffered an injury during Saturdayâ€s AEW Collision, forcing a new entrant to take his place in a TNT title match.

During Saturdayâ€s show, Kyle Fletcher attacked Hologram after an El Clon glitch that appeared in a promo backstage. Fletcher ambushed Hologram and left him down after his attack. Unfortunately for the star, it seems like he was injured as a result of the attack and not compete for the TNT title.

During Fletcherâ€s match with Komander later in the show, Tony Schiavone revealed Hologram was hurt. Specifically, he said Hologram suffered a “serious injury,†and that he would be out for “quite a while.†Itâ€s unclear whether or not the injury itself is part of the show or genuine. But from all accounts, it seems like Hologram will be out for some time.

As a result of the injury, AEW announced that the recently returned Orange Cassidy will face off against Fletcher for the TNT Championship on AEW Dynamiteâ€s sixth anniversary show.
