Dynasty 2025: Omega's Three-Way Classic and Swerve's Chase Carry a Strong Philadelphia Card

Nick Wayne pinned AR Fox following Wayne's World in the Dynasty 2025 Zero Hour trios match, teaming with Action Andretti and Lio Rush against Fox and Top Flight's Dante and Darius Martin. Fox found chances against each member of CRU and hit cutters on Andretti, Rush and Wayne, but the side with more ringside support eventually created the opening. Kip Sabian distracted the opposition and Mother Wayne shoved Fox from the top rope just before Wayne delivered his finishing strike. The legal pin was Wayne over Fox, not a defeat of either Martin brother. Leila Grey accompanied Top Flight without joining the sanctioned six-man contest.

Anthony Bowens pinned former Acclaimed partner Max Caster in a forty-second Zero Hour singles match, landing a strong opening right hand and rolling elbow before the cover. Billy Gunn accompanied Bowens but did not take part in the recorded decision. The brief match gave the estranged teammates an abrupt on-screen confrontation rather than the lengthy exchange their history might have suggested. Caster had barely begun his advertised open challenge before Bowens charged forward and finished him. The low in-ring evaluation follows from a match that was intentionally too short to develop competitive swings; its identifiable story consequence is the breakup, not a championship or tournament reward.

Will Ospreay pinned Kevin Knight after a Hidden Blade to advance in the men's Owen Hart Foundation tournament at Dynasty 2025. Knight repeatedly threatened an upset, landing a UFO splash and a DDT after escaping Ospreay's Styles Clash attempt on the ramp. The challenger then blocked another Styles Clash, caught Ospreay's attempted Os Cutter with a kick and delivered a high-risk splash that came close to a fall. Ospreay responded with a powerbomb, Styles Clash and Os Cutter, yet still needed the Hidden Blade to put Knight away. The result was a quarterfinal advancement rather than a championship change, and Knight's resilience distinguished it from an expected routine opening win.

Shelton Benjamin pinned Bryan Keith after Bobby Lashley speared him, allowing the Hurt Syndicate to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship against the Learning Tree pairing of Keith and Big Bill. Bill had repeatedly used his size to disrupt both champions and even countered a Lashley attack with Snake Eyes. MJF, watching from ringside, sucker-punched Bill outside the ring, changing the finish's balance while the referee focused on the legal wrestlers. Shelton struck Keith with a German suplex and Lashley followed with the spear to create the winning cover for Benjamin. MVP accompanied the champions but did not wrestle, and neither Keith nor Bill took possession of the belts.

Mercedes Moné pinned Julia Hart with a cradle reversal to advance in the women's Owen Hart Foundation tournament quarterfinal at Dynasty 2025. Hart challenged with a moonsault, DDT near fall and a submission attempt called the Hartless, forcing Moné to fight out of several dangerous positions. Moné survived after placing her boots in the path of Hart's aerial attempt and delivered backstabbers before Hart rallied with a crucifix bomb. The decisive reversal came when Moné transitioned away from Hart's hold and secured the cradle for three. Although Moné entered as TBS Champion, the singles match was part of the Owen Hart tournament, not a TBS title defense or championship change.

Wheeler Yuta pinned Dax Harwood with a Busaiku knee to retain the AEW World Trios Championship alongside Claudio Castagnoli and PAC over Rated FTR at Dynasty 2025. The champions had survived FTR's Shatter Machine and Cope's attempted spear, with Claudio breaking a potential cover before the closing exchange. Cope avoided running into Harwood, but Yuta shoved Cope into his teammate and followed with the knee that secured the legal fall on Dax. The postmatch response proved as consequential as the title defense: Harwood turned on Cope with a piledriver, while Cash Wheeler ultimately joined the Shatter Machine attack. Neither postmatch assault altered Yuta's recorded winning pin.

Toni Storm retained the AEW Women's World Championship by catching Megan Bayne in an inside cradle when Bayne attempted Fate's Descent. The challenger repeatedly overpowered the champion, answering Storm's German suplexes and hip attacks with a Falcon Arrow, lariat and powerbomb. Storm connected with three running hip attacks and Storm Zero but Bayne kicked out, leaving the titleholder without an easy traditional finishing strike. Bayne then attempted her own decisive move and Storm used the opening to roll her into the winning pin. Penelope Ford accompanied Bayne and Luther accompanied Storm, but neither was a sanctioned opponent. The close escape distinguished this title defense from a dominant champion's showcase.

Kyle Fletcher pinned Mark Briscoe after a turnbuckle brainbuster to advance in the men's Owen Hart Foundation quarterfinal at Dynasty 2025. Briscoe brought the fight to Fletcher with an apron neckbreaker, outside Cactus elbow and a Froggy Bow near fall, repeatedly changing the pace from Fletcher's measured offense. Fletcher threw Briscoe into the corner, survived another Froggy Bow attempt and blocked the third before driving him down with the move that ended the match. Don Callis accompanied Fletcher but did not supply the legal cover. The victory was a tournament advancement rather than a new title reign, with the near falls giving Briscoe a credible route to an upset.

Bandido captured the ROH World Championship from Chris Jericho and kept his mask in the Title vs. Mask contest, pinning Jericho after the 21 Plex when referee Aubrey Edwards restarted the match. Jericho originally appeared to have won by striking Bandido with a concealed baseball bat behind the official's back, but Bandido's family identified the weapon near the steps and the decision was reopened. Jericho threatened Bandido's sister at ringside, earning a slap before Bandido finally delivered his finishing suplex for the valid three-count. The overturned first result and second pin are essential: Jericho's tainted cover did not stand as the official championship outcome.

Adam Cole pinned Daniel Garcia after the Panama Sunrise and The Boom to win the AEW TNT Championship at Dynasty 2025 in a match announced without a time limit or outside interference. Garcia repeatedly targeted Cole's repaired ankle and even turned his rival's own moves against him, connecting with a Panama Sunrise and The Boom for a near fall. Cole survived, landed consecutive Panama Sunrises and eventually finished the champion with his knee strike. Garcia and Cole shook hands afterward, leaving the title change as a direct wrestling decision rather than a manager-assisted shortcut. The decisive cover belonged to Cole on Garcia, not a countout or a tournament advancement.

Kenny Omega pinned Ricochet after an avalanche One-Winged Angel to retain the AEW International Championship against Ricochet and Mike Bailey in Dynasty 2025's three-way. Ricochet repeatedly interrupted Bailey's near falls, while Omega traded fast strikes and his V-Trigger with both challengers. Bailey threatened with corkscrew kicks and an aerial attack, and Ricochet scored close counts with Vertigo and a shooting star press. Omega outlasted both rhythms before catching Ricochet from the turnbuckles for the final title-saving pin. Bailey was the third legal competitor but was not pinned; the result did not create a new champion. Kazuchika Okada's postmatch faceoff with Omega belonged to the aftermath.

Jon Moxley pinned Swerve Strickland to retain the AEW World Championship after the Young Bucks intervened with a V-Trigger in Dynasty 2025's main event. The challenger survived Moxley's sustained head and neck attacks and landed a Swerve Stomp from a ladder through the announce table, later catching the champion with a Paradigm Shift near fall. Marina Shafir struck Prince Nana with the briefcase, and interference from the Death Riders drew Adam Page and the Opps into the fight. When the lights went out and returned, the Bucks attacked Swerve as the officials were distracted. Moxley's cover stood, but the official decision cannot fairly be described as a straightforward interference-free defense.
