AEW Dynamite Review 20.11.2025.

Bobby Lashley vs Ricochet.

With the first entrance into the Casino Gauntlet Match at Full Gear on the line. I was expecting to see some sauce with this Match, but what we got was  messy. Ricochet taunted the crowd with a promo to kick things off, only to be shut down by Big bad Bob. I didn't like this. Everything from its opening to its execution felt lazy, and this was a real shame. Lashley got the win.

Samoa Joe Segment.

Samoa Joe, and. Katsuyouri Shibata, then cut a promo on Hangman Adam Page, and this got me thinking. When Joe retires from Pro Wrestling, he should become a dedt collector.

The Young Bucks And Josh Alexander vs Sky Flight.

From the outset I liked this. The in-ring work was solid, and I'm loving Don Callis flirting with The Young Bucks, and giving them a ton of pyro, to the way that this Match was layered. I got the feeling that this was catered to both teams, and it worked. The bucks got the win. The aftermath however undermined all of the hardwork that came beforehand. Don Callis tried to get The Bucks to join the TDDCWO, leading Kenny Omega to come and try and reason with this former Elite brothers, with the help from a steal chair. Don told his new friends to give Kenny a BTE trigger, that was until Jurassic Express to chase out the heels out with cleaning products. This was abysmal, and a complete joke. The segment that Jurassic Express had later on didn't help.

Babes Of Wrath Segment.

Who here loves Willow Nightingale, and. Harley Cameron? Is that everyone, good because I think that their great.

Shelton Benjamin vs Speedball Mike Bailey.

This was a lot better then the opener. With second place in the Casino Gauntlet Match on the line. In this mid card affair. I felt the urgentcy that was missing from the opener. The physicality was on a better level, and their chemistry was allowed to break its own wall. Shelton got the win.

Jon Moxley And Claudio Castagnoli vs Orange Cassidy And Roderick Strong.

I liked this. It had its own form of urgentcy. This allowed fans to get the chance to feel their energy from the start. Both teams thought in and amongst the fans, this allowed the story of the Match to have time to breathe, as the Matches within the Match, become the back bone of the physicality. Mox got the win by giving Cassidy a bulldog choke. Kyle O'reilly then came out, and challenged him to a no holds barred Match at Full Gear, after The Deathriders helped Jon get away from a Ankle Lock.

The Timeless Lovebombs vs Alex Windsor And Riho.

As the AEW womens Tag Team Tournament starts to develop, I have admit that has been enjoyable to a degree, However this Match fell short in my view. The work felt slow, flat, and uninspired, and it didn't pick up. Toni and Mina got the win and advance to the next round. Tony Khan then confirmed at Full Gear, their will be a four way Match to decide the semi-final stipulation.

Kyle Fletcher And Mark Briscoe Segment.

I loved this, from Mark and Kyle having a solid back and fourth, and in the aftermath Okada and Mark Davis decking him was great. No Physicality my arse, oh and hello Okada having digs at Takeshita.

Pac Vignette.

Pac threatens an absent Darby Allin, after he tried to turn him into Kentucky fried Darby, and all I have to say is this. I liked this, now someone get him a stuttie.

Hangman Adam Page vs Katsuyouri Shibata.

This was decent. Even though it didn't feel me with parts of joy. It was a solid way, to end the broadcast. From Hangman attacking Shibata from the start, Samoa Joe making Tony Schiavone want to make stains in his pants just by sitting next to him on commentary, and the physicality being given its flowers, as the Match entered it's final stages. Hangman got the win with  a buckshot lariot, having just put his boot back on.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite.

This broadcast was the right balance between poor blunders, and good Keyfabe, that had me feeling optimistic going into the PPV this weekend.

This weeks Dynamite is a high 7/10.
