Following the events of the October 15, 2025, edition of AEW Dynamite, several new matches were announced for the upcoming AEW WrestleDream pay-per-view and its “Tailgate Pregame Show.”
On AEW Dynamite, The Hurt Syndicate battled GOA. While Lashley and Liona took each other out with a double clothesline at ringside, Benjamin attempted a top-rope suplex on Kaun. A distraction occurred when Ricochet charged at MVP, causing his cane to fly into the ring. As the referee was occupied removing the cane, Ricochet clotheslined Benjamin. Kaun then capitalized on the interference, pinning Benjamin for the win. MVP retaliated by striking Ricochet with the cane on the outside.
The Death Riders battled Orange Cassidy and Kyle O’Reilly. O’Reilly applied a guillotine choke on Garcia, forcing a tap-out that the referee missed due to a distraction from Marina Shafir. While O’Reilly released the hold, thinking he had won, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and PAC emerged at ringside. O’Reilly took out PAC with a running knee, but Castagnoli hit him with an uppercut and threw him back into the ring. Garcia then capitalized on the interference, pinning the unsuspecting O’Reilly for the win.
Near the end of the show, it was announced that The Hurt Syndicate vs The Demand will take place at AEW WrestleDream. For Tailgate: FTR vs Jet Speed. Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford vs Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron. Eddie Kingston and Hook will be in action as a tag team. Tomohiro Ishii, Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, and Roderick Strong vs Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, PAC, and Daniel Garcia.
