All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is gearing up for a huge episode of Dynamite on Wednesday, May 21, 2025. This will be the final show before the highly anticipated Double or Nothing pay-per-view this Sunday, May 25th, and it promises to set the stage with major confrontations and important matches.
One of the biggest segments announced will see Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) officially sign his contract to join The Hurt Syndicate. This comes after weeks of MJF trying to gain the approval of MVP, and AEW World Tag Team Champions Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin, making this signing a very talked-about moment as AEW fans wonder what’s next for MJF with this powerful group.
In a massive trios match, AEW World Champion Jon Moxley will team up with The Young Bucks (Matthew & Nicholas Jackson). They will take on a formidable team consisting of Swerve Strickland and the AEW World Trios Champions, Samoa Joe and Powerhouse Hobbs, in what is sure to be a hard-hitting affair with implications for Double or Nothing.
The women’s division will also be in the spotlight as Mina Shirakawa faces Julia Hart in a singles match. Adding extra interest, the current AEW Women’s World Champion, “Timeless” Toni Storm, will be on commentary for this bout, likely keeping a close eye on Shirakawa, her challenger at Double or Nothing.
Furthermore, the finalists for the prestigious Owen Hart Foundation Tournaments will meet face-to-face. “Hangman” Adam Page and Will Ospreay will confront each other ahead of their men’s final. Similarly, AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Moné and Jamie Hayter will have a face-to-face meeting before they battle in the women’s tournament final at the pay-per-view. These encounters are expected to build even more excitement for their championship-deciding matches.
With so much scheduled, this episode of AEW Dynamite is a can’t-miss stop on the road to Double or Nothing. AEW fans will be watching closely to see the final developments before Sunday’s big event.
