Jon Moxley dominates Hangman Adam Page in a high-stakes episode of AEW Dynamite held at the Accesso ShoWare Center in Kent, Washington on June 25, setting the stage for bigger rivalries and storylines ahead of All In Texas 2025. The night was filled with intense matches, surprise attacks, and continued momentum for AEW’s top stars, drawing further anticipation for next week’s milestone Dynamite 300 and the upcoming pay-per-view in Texas.
AEW Dynamite Kicks Off with Intensity and Surprise Attacks
The latest episode opened with major excitement and fast-paced developments, highlighting why AEW remains on a hot streak. AEW Women’s World Champion Timeless Toni Storm arrived at the arena, but was ambushed right away by her All In challenger Mercedes Mone. Mone dragged Storm to the ramp and followed up with a biting promo that captured everyone‘s attention in the arena. Mina Shirakawa quickly rushed to support Storm, leading to the announcement of a TBS Title match for the following week. Although short, the segment ignited energy in the building and set an assertive tone for the rest of the night.
Young Bucks, Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland Add Fuel to the All In Texas Fire
The Young Bucks took control of the show with a display of executive power, ordering Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland to compete in their match promptly. Adding even more tension, Ospreay and Strickland had to change into their wrestling gear as they made their way to the ring, bringing urgency and authenticity to proceedings. They managed to defeat Lee Johnson and Blake Christian in a tag team bout, then exchanged heated words with Matthew and Nicholas Jackson.
Ospreay then raised the stakes for AEW All In Texas 2025 by challenging the Bucks to risk their EVP titles in a tag team contest, introducing a powerful new dynamic to this ongoing rivalry. The feud, previously simmering, now feels indispensable to the big event in Texas, promising even more drama as the event draws near.
Kota Ibushi’s Comeback Rekindles Past Glory and Sets Up Big Matches
Formerly seen struggling during his last AEW run, Kota Ibushi returned after more than a year, now in improved physical form. He faced Trent Beretta in a brief singles match, putting on a much stronger showing than during his earlier tenure. Ibushi’s sharpness and agility were noticeably improved, drawing praise from fans who remembered his legendary performances elsewhere. His renewed presence also set the stage for another major showdown, as he will compete against Okada in next week’s highly anticipated episode, revisiting an old and storied rivalry.
Mark Briscoe Grabs the Spotlight and Casino Gauntlet Top Seed
Mark Briscoe, one of AEW’s most popular babyfaces, took center stage with back-to-back highlights. After The Hurt Syndicate and MJF targeted JetSpeed, Briscoe interrupted their segment. MJF didn’t hesitate to make jokes at Briscoe’s expense, but the former ROH World Champion turned things around with quick wit and empathy, winning over the audience while irritating MJF.
Shortly afterwards, Briscoe clinched victory in a grueling fatal four-way match against Konosuke Takeshita, Bandido, and Roderick Strong, earning the number one spot for the men’s Casino Gauntlet at AEW All In Texas 2025. This top spot grants Briscoe a longer presence in the much-anticipated match and improves his odds to secure a pivotal win for his career, as well as for the ongoing AEW storyline.
Main Event: Adam Page and Jon Moxley Intensify Their Rivalry
In the night’s hard-fought main event, Adam Page overcame The Beast Mortos, but the celebration was short-lived. The Young Bucks appeared after the match to launch a surprise attack on Page, igniting chaos in the ring. The Death Riders made their move, and Jon Moxley took advantage of the opportunity by wrapping a chain around Page and choking him out—calling back to their infamous Texas Death Match finish at Revolution 2023. The moment was visually powerful, underlining Moxley’s growing threat level in the AEW main event scene.
The arena saw several babyfaces rush to attempt a rescue, but not before Moxley established himself as a menacing force as AEW moves toward All In Texas 2025. This segment effectively raised fans’ anticipation for the event and set the tone for the next stage of this already heated rivalry.
Looking Ahead: AEW’s Momentum Builds Toward All In Texas 2025
The June 25 AEW Dynamite episode delivered standout moments, thrilling action, and significant storyline advancement for key players like Jon Moxley, Hangman Adam Page, Mark Briscoe, Kota Ibushi, and The Young Bucks. The company now turns its attention to the upcoming Dynamite 300, promising more surprises and continued story development. With high stakes established for AEW All In Texas 2025, fans can expect even greater drama and tension in the coming weeks, both inside and outside the ring. As the road to All In grows shorter, anticipation for decisive matchups and industry-shifting outcomes continues to intensify across the wrestling world.
