AEW Dynamite Preview - July 30, 2025: No Allies, No Escape Just Hangman and Moxley Collide in AEW Title Fight, Tons More
AEW Dynamite explodes into Chicago tonight with high-stakes battles, fierce rivalries, and a World Title clash that’s been months in the making. Broadcasting live at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT from the iconic Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom, this week’s show promises chaos, grudges, and championship momentum on the line — all with no one allowed at ringside in the night’s main event.
Here’s everything you need to know before the action goes down.
🏆 AEW World Championship Match
Hangman Adam Page (c) vs. Jon Moxley
All parties banned from ringside
The war between Hangman and Moxley reaches its final chapter. After their Texas Death Match classic at All In: Texas, Moxley demanded one more shot at the gold. Hangman accepted — but under one condition: no allies, no outside interference. Just one man vs. one man for the AEW World Title.
Tonight, expect violence, grit, and a definitive winner. Both men thrive in chaos, but with no one to back them up, we’ll find out who truly owns the spotlight.
💥 Women’s Tag Team Grudge Match
Toni Storm & Alex Windsor vs. Athena & Billie Starkz
Two champions. Two rising stars. One combustible mix.
After weeks of ambushes, rescues, and heated tension, Toni Storm and Alex Windsor team up to face the ruthless duo of Athena and Billie Starkz. Athena is gunning for Storm’s AEW Women’s World Title — and has made it clear she’ll do anything to get there. But Windsor, fresh off her own battle with Athena, isn't done fighting either.
Will Storm and Windsor’s mutual respect be enough to overcome the dangerous chemistry of Athena and Starkz?
🔥 Tag Team Title Eliminator Quarterfinal
The Young Bucks vs. The Outrunners
It’s vintage vs. velocity as the iconic Young Bucks aim for a record fourth AEW Tag Title reign — but standing in their path are The Outrunners, hungry and high-octane. Truth Magnum and Turbo Floyd came up short at Revolution, but tonight they’ve got one more shot to prove they belong at the top of the tag team food chain.
The winner advances in the title eliminator and inches closer to a spot at Forbidden Door.
🥊 Ricochet vs. Mark Briscoe
Mark Briscoe is out for revenge.
Last week, Briscoe stunned the AEW universe by toppling Claudio Castagnoli. Now, he sets his sights on Ricochet — the man who left him battered in a Stretcher Match at Double or Nothing. But Ricochet isn’t coming alone. He’s aligned himself with the Gates of Agony, adding a dangerous wildcard to tonight’s match.
Briscoe wants redemption. Ricochet wants dominance. The ring won’t be big enough for both.
🎤 Live Appearance: MJF
Maxwell Jacob Friedman returns live to the mic, riding high off his Hollywood momentum (Happy Gilmore 2) and holding a future AEW World Title shot in his back pocket. But backstage drama is bubbling. After confrontations with Bobby Lashley and Mark Briscoe last week, Max may have more enemies than he can count.
What will the former champ have to say with the spotlight solely on him?

🧠 MainEvent.News | Backstage Take:
AEW isn't just stacking the card — they're setting the table for a power shift. Hangman and Moxley’s finale could shape the entire AEW title picture heading into Forbidden Door. But don't sleep on the women's tag war — Athena’s calculated rise could overshadow even Toni Storm's stardom if she strikes at the right moment.
