AEW Dynamite Results - July 16, 2025: All in Fallout Hangman, EVPs Humbled, and Alliances Explode in Chicago Showdown

Chicago was on fire Wednesday night as AEW Dynamite lit up the Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom with fallout from All In: Texas. From championship gratitude to Trios chaos, EVP meltdowns to shocking alliances, the night was pure electricity from bell to bell.
Hangman Adam Page Speaks for the People
With a heavy limp and the AEW World Championship over his shoulder, Hangman Adam Page opened the night with a speech that will be remembered for years. He didn’t just thank the fans—he credited them for building the very foundation of All Elite Wrestling.
“You are the reason for All Elite,” Page said through visible emotion. “You started a revolution to change the world.”
He didn’t hold back on gratitude, even surprising everyone by offering a heartfelt thank-you to rivals like Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland. With fire in his voice, Hangman closed with a line that shook the house:
“I am the champion of the f*ing world.”**
THIS is our cowboy. THIS is our AEW WORLD CHAMPION!

EVPs No More: The Bucks Get Reality-Checked
Matt and Nick Jackson found out the hard way what life’s like when the “executive” part of EVP gets stripped. Locker rooms downgraded, names crossed out, and mockery from all angles—including a weirdly empathetic Don Callis.
The Bucks, visibly shaken, shared a tense hug with Callis. Is a new alliance forming? AEW fans know one thing: nothing’s off-limits in this post-EVP era.
Fletcher Gets Gritty in Lucha Showdown
Kyle Fletcher and Máscara Dorada tore the house down in an international clinic. Dorada soared with daredevil moves, but Fletcher’s power—and his vicious Brainbuster—secured the win. Don Callis watching from ringside could signal bigger plans ahead.
MJF & Hurt Syndicate: Aiming for Hangman’s Soul
With Tag Champs Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin behind him, MJF cut one of his coldest promos to date.
“I am the physical embodiment of your depression,” Max sneered, promising to destroy Hangman Page without even using his guaranteed title shot clause. The Hurt Syndicate wants all the gold—and they’ve got the confidence and bodies to make it happen.
All-Star 8-Man Tag Mayhem Ends in Superkick Chaos
ROH World Champ Bandido teamed with Brody King and JetSpeed to take on the Bucks, Hechicero, and Josh Alexander. It was fast, fierce, and finished with a killer combination: sleeper hold from Hechicero, mistimed teamwork, and a Superkick Party that knocked Bandido into dreamland.
Copeland’s Revenge Path Hits a Corporate Wall
Adam Copeland had words—piercing ones—for FTR, for Christian Cage, and for AEW brass. But Stokely Hathaway dropped a bomb: one more attack and Copeland is fired. That didn’t stop him from spearing Stokely straight into the mat. Spike may be banned, but “The Rated-R Superstar” is just getting started.
Mark Briscoe Fires Back at MJF
Briscoe cut a scathing promo, calling MJF “a bitch” and vowing retribution for both personal betrayal and invoking the legacy of his late brother Jay. The message was clear: MJF’s sins are stacking up—and Mark Briscoe plans to collect.
$100K Women’s 4-Way Ends in Mist, Mayhem, and Thekla’s Rise
Thekla shocked everyone by winning a brutal Four-Way match after green mist from Julia Hart blinded Queen Aminata. With Skye Blue by their side, a dark sisterhood may have just been born.
Storm vs. Athena: The Battle of Egos Begins
From the balcony, Toni Storm delivered her best “Timeless” performance yet—only to be verbally demolished by ROH Champ Athena, who declared:
“You’ll be the wide-hipped heifer that no one remembers.”
Storm didn’t flinch. A war of words has begun, but the battle in the ring is coming fast.
Patriarchy Shattered: Nick Wayne Declares Himself AEW’s Future
Nick Wayne explained it all. Christian Cage was “expired.” Kip Sabian and Mother Wayne are with him now. And Wayne wants it all: TNT title, AEW, and your attention.
“Now and forever.”
Okada Sets Sights on Swerve
Kazuchika Okada destroyed Rafael Quintero, then called out Swerve Strickland—face-to-face. Swerve didn’t back down, responding simply:
“What you gonna do about it, bitch?”
Collision course incoming.
Trios Main Event Ends in Buckshot Redemption
Hangman Page, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Mark Briscoe outlasted the Death Riders in a wild, bloody trios main event. After the bell, Darby Allin returned from the rafters, giving Hangman the opening to level Moxley with a Buckshot Lariat and close the night standing tall.
IT'S @DARBYALLIN!

🗣️ MainEvent.News | Backstage Take:
AEW is entering a dangerous, emotional, and chaotic new phase—and it’s brilliant. Hangman’s reign is heartfelt but threatened, alliances are forming out of desperation, and the EVPs’ downfall has opened space for new power plays. With stars like Okada, MJF, and Swerve circling, AEW’s next chapter might be its most explosive yet.
