AEW Dynamite Results - August 27, 2025: Fallout From Forbidden Door Rocks Philly

August 27, 2025 | 2300 Arena, Philadelphia, PA
AEW Dynamite rolled into the legendary 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, and the fallout from Forbidden Door brought chaos, big challenges, and one wild main event. Here’s everything that went down, in order:
FTR Open the Show – CNC Challenge Laid Down
The night opened with FTR and Stokely Hathaway storming to the ring, furious after their loss at Forbidden Door. Dax Harwood ripped into referee Paul Turner, demanding he reverse the decision, only for Turner to stand firm. Things broke down when Christian Cage blindsided Dax with a Killswitch, leading to a chaotic brawl. Adam Copeland then grabbed the mic and officially laid out the challenge: at All Out in Toronto, CNC vs. FTR.
This is the @Christian4Peeps you have to help you with FTR, @RatedRCope.

🗣️ Wrestling.news | Backstage Take
AEW packed this Dynamite with fallout that sets the tone for All Out. HOOK’s return was electric, instantly injecting fire into the Death Riders feud. The CNC vs. FTR challenge feels like a generational clash, while Hangman and Omega’s reunion teaser got one of the loudest reactions of the night. Darby’s main event performance, despite the post-match beatdown, cements him as one of AEW’s most resilient stars. Philadelphia got the chaos it craved, and AEW now has serious momentum rolling into Toronto.
