[10.0] "Top to bottom this was just a really good show. Even Moxley vs Cope was a pretty enjoyable one and that's how you know this show was good. I loved the fatal 4 way and the finish to it. The women got a huge spotlight on this show and to nobody's surprise, they delivered."
[10.0] "Among the best wrestling TV episodes I've ever seen. Superb pacing and match order, the perfect mix of wrestling (80%) and promos/segments (20%) for my taste. One all-time spot that is super gross. Two very strong women's matches including the main event which ended the show on the usual high note sung by Toni Storm. Just an all-around stellar two hours of professional wrestling."
[8.0] "Filled with lots of high quality, high stakes matches. Not one match felt like a filler. Even with matches which had a botch here or there, or matches which had way too much interference, still were highly entertaining and wrestlers got time to showcase their great moves and in-ring skills. So, although there were a couple of interesting choices, and annoying endings, the card was still great. That goes for the short and minimal promos on the show too. A very fun and exciting dynamite overall, it had me hooked and I barely got distracted or checked my phone."
[8.0] "From beginning to end, this was an entertaining episode of Dynamite! The match quality from TBS Championship Match, that was MOTN for me, Billie Starkz showed off in her showcase doing some gnarly offense and she worked good against Mone. The Opening 4-Way 1st Contendership for International Title was a great way to start off the show (really wanted Dunkzilla to get the victory, However, he was the standout for the match for sure). The AEW World Title Street Fight was totally fun especially Moxley spot with the spikes is memorable. Ospreay Vs. Fox was a good filler after the street fight so can't go wrong with that. Also, the women's main event was great ending off with showcasing the women division."
[8.0] "This was a decent "good" show. Bayne and Kris was worthy of being the main event. Again it was a good show when it came to the wrestling hit still feel they need to work on big intriguing stories to include with the show. I just can't give this a 9 or 10 like many others because that would signal a Perfect or near Perfect show."
[10.0] "Another stellar, pretty much perfect pro-wrestling TV show from AEW in 2025. This week, we got in-ring heavy in comparison to last week's promo heavy show. Every match delivered, if not over delivered. The 4 way was super fun, and the way it was laid out was smart. They got Mark Davis over without him having to actually go over. The finish was creative and the 3 way at Dynasty is going to be awesome, I'm sure. Mercedes showed again why she's the best in-ring women's wrestler going today and Billie made fans now want to watch her more on the main shows. The Mox/Cope match was AWESOME imo and showed how AEW offers something for everyone; this was definitely an ECW style match, not just with the violence but with the endless run-ins. Ospreay/AR Fox was a PWG AEW match and slapped like we knew it would. And Megan/Stat was an absolute battle with both women looking incredibly strong coming out of it. Post-match angle with Toni Storm, the best character in wrestling, was fantastic too and great way to setup a PPV match. AEW is firing on all cylinders in 2025. The Owen is going to be great."
[9.0] "AEW once again proves that when faced with adversity (weather issues) they can pull out all the strings and put on a fantastic, action-packed wresting show. Crowd was great which helped. The women's division is going from strength to strength - two fantastic matches on this show. Outside of the ROH PPV's I've not seen too much of Billie Starkz but she really impressed. Megan Bayne delivered in the Main Event. Toni Storm was amazing on commentary and Mercedes and Kris prove why they are 2 of the very best. 4-way match and Ospreay / Fox were both all action matches. But my match of the night was the brutal street fight. Moxley and Copeland make up for the underwhelming Revolution main event with a brilliant championship match. (9/10)"
[10.0] "What a show. That Mox spot was insane -- violent, sick, and everything you want from a wild brawl. Both women's matches absolutely delivered; it's so good to see them getting time and killing it. The 4-way? Incredible. Fast, creative, and just pure chaos in the best way. Heavy on story, loaded with great wrestling -- AEW firing on all cylinders."
[10.0] "For me, this was pretty much a perfect episode of wrestling on *Television*. I was invested in every match. Even the blatant enhancement one. Usually I'd be checking my phone or alt-tabbing to check something else during most shows, but I didn't here. From a fast paced opener that got the crowd hot, some TV time for Billie Starkz to remind the people what she got. A better than expected street fight to put a too-long rivalry to rest. Never thought an Ospreay match would feel like a moment to breathe during a show lol, and a couple of big ladies doing big bitch shit to send it home. 9.7"
[9.0] "Very fun Dynamite, a rare chance for me to watch a whole episode and it was a good one. I liked almost every match quite a bit, of course the Moxley nail spot was nutty but the opener was very fun and nice to see the women showcased more than usual, they were really showing out. Some good promo stuff in there as well, a very good time."
[7.0] "I wasn't overly excited about the opener. Appreciated that Billie Starkz (who has been tremendous on ROH) was put on TV to showcase herself, and it appears that we might be getting Mone vs. Athena! Mox vs. Cope was gritty, and I can't believe the Spike spot! Fun match between the Best in the World Will Ospreay and AR Fox. Great main event between Bayne and Kris Stat. Love the build of Bayne."
[8.0] "Overall solid show which was elevated by a really awesome crowd. This wrestling heavy episode was the exact opposite of last week which was promo heavy but I believe weather conditions prevented some from working the show. Matches were solid and I'm glad Moxley-Edge nonsense is over although I admit that it ended in a somewhat positive way. Main event showcased women which was a massive plus and should happen more regularly. Toni ending the show, cutting an amazing promo with a hot crowd is a welcome sight, someone should take notes. Dynasty is shaping up to be a good show so far."
"The episode was cool and everything, but I can't understand Tony Khan's logic. At Revolution he puts a mediocre World Championchip Match in the main event, while burying an exceptional Women's World Title Match somewhere in the middle, but on Dynamite last night he does the opposite - he puts an extraordinary World Title Match in the middle and lets an ordinary #1 Contenders's Match for the Women's World Title close the show. As if he had heard the critism, but took the advice too literally. You don't have to show that you listen to criticism RIGHT ON THE NEXT SHOW, Tony! It's not how it works! Just because the World Title Match at Revolution didn't deserve the main event spot, doesn't mean it didn't deserve it last night - because it definitely did and FELT LIKE a main event. I had to check how much time was left because I really thought the show was about to wrap up. Other than that, a great show. All matches delivered. My prediction of Mike Bailey picking up the win turned out to be only 50% correct, but I don't mind it - the triple threat sounds like an even better idea. MJF has to ease up on the spray tan, because in that pre-taped promo he looked like a bum who had not showered in weeks. Adam Page just cut his hair, and now he looks like a Greek god."
[9.0] "What an episode! A sign of how strong it was came as the show concluded and my thoughts were that of surprise that it was ending so soon. The show just breezed by. They put on great matches, Moxley and Cope redeemed themselves with a fun street fight and there were some really good segments throughout the show. My highlight was the opening four way match, but Mercedes and Starkz wasn't far behind. Great stuff. Keep it up, AEW!"
[10.0] "Excellent show from start to finish. Not just two women's matches on Dynamite, but two fantastic women's matches on Dynamite! I cannot wait for Megan Bayne vs. Toni Storm at AEW Dynasty. An episode that focused less on the talking and more on the pro wrestling. This week was proof that you can put on great wrestling matches and still continue to tell the stories without the need for the same old cringey in ring promos. They even had little video recaps so the casual fans can understand how the stories got to this point. Keeping the promos short and concise to make time for some video recaps is a good trade off to be honest. There's a sense of excitement watching AEW again this year. From mid-2023 to the end of 2024 the booking was mind numbingly predictable. More title changes on Dynamite and Collision would add to the unpredictability and excitement. Great episode."
[10.0] "Easily the best episode of Dynamite this year. Four of the Five matches on the show delivered. The few interviews or segments on the show were very interesting. But this was the most complete episode of Dynamkite in recent times. The build to AEW Dynasty has been very fun, and I hope they can build off this episode."
[10.0] "Every single second of this dynamite f**king slapped. The opening four way was a riot. All four men came to put in a shift and deliver an entertaining match and nailed it. Davie looked like a killer, Bailey's style couldn't be anymore perfect for AEW, Prickochet keeps getting less and less likeable and more lovable, OC has pockets. What a match, perhaps a slightly odd finish. But it gives us the three way with Omega which will RULE. Monč and Starks was a great match as well. Billie has really developed well and has proven that she was the perfect appetiser for the inevitable introduction of Athena. I'm practically giddy. Mox and Cope massively over delivered. Well paced and brutal. Spike getting stuck in Moxleys back was beautiful and controversial, just as it should be. This is the match that the PPV should have been and I'm glad that they had a chance of a do over. The Dax and FTR foreshadowing has me on the edge of my seat.Ospreay and Fox was an obvious filler match, but it was decent to be fair. Plus Will has a new injury to sell. MJF video segment and hangman video packages, good for prerecords. The main event with Bayne and Stat was a BANGER. I know, it's stat. That's like saying sky blue, water wet. But that's not the point. This was a star making performance for Megan Bayne and she took full advantage. Special shout of mutual for Toni Storm who was wildly entertaining throughout this match and afterwards. She's the best act in wrestling bar none. EDIT: raised my rating from 9 to 10 in order to counter the counter rating people. Just stop it. I'll go back back to 9 once their ratings are removed."
[6.0] "An ok show brought down immeasurably by the horrendous street fight. Highlight was defo Tony Storm in commentary on the main event. This episode was probably a little bit too match heavy for my liking. I would have liked to see more promo spots and less lengthy matches"
[10.0] "This is my kind of wrestling show, full of quality in-ring action and lots of it. The first two matches were about as hot a start as one could get. I hope AEW can keep this going in the coming weeks."
[2.0] "This might be the show that makes me stop watching. The International 4-Way rightfully kicked off the show and started it off strong, this match was everything it should've been although I believe Mike Bailey should've been the only winner though I understand Ricochet needs to keep his momentum. The Mercedes vs. Billie match was good, I'm sure an eventual Athena feud would be great, I'm keeping these pre-hand talks relatively short due to what was after. Is the Spike/Janice stick being stuck in Moxley's back enough to blind people from the worst story in wrestling right now? It's not like Edge needed to win but Moxley sure as hell needed to lose, I'm sick of this bloodline copycat story that produces nothing but bad matches (bar the Danielson match), this company is driving away it's core audience in return for one that won't come because why would you watch WWE-style AEW over WWE, it's the lesson that WCW, TNA & ROH had to learn, you'd think AEW would too. This match wasn't special, you can see this anywhere, mediocre hardcore match (this didn't feel like a street fight) where Moxley took a gruesome spot because he knew this would bomb otherwise. Who cares abour the FTR angle afterwards, why on earth anyone would look forward to seeing Dax vs. Edge/FTR vs. Edge & Christian and/or 2 months of tiring "you let us down promos" from someone as ice cold on the mic as well either of FTR. After this Ospreay had his usual 3 star tv match (good to see AR Fox booked again). Megan Bayne and Kris had a match, but I'm not going to lie the finish of the world title match completely sucked all interest out of the show for me so it really just felt like bleakness after it. I don't understand why people liked this, this company feels like a shadow of what it was even as recent as say a year ago. It doesn't matter if anything else was good, this McMahonian-style booking has ruined a show I used to look forward to seeing and it's going to continue pushing it further into the ground. This is one of the first times I've genuinely not been able to see this being good to anybody who's been watching for more than a month. Sure Swerve might win at Dynasty but at this point, I wouldn't doubt Moxley holding it until All In with all 700 of his interferences happening between then."
"I wouldn't go as high as the people rating this a 10, but it's very much in the 8.5 range. An excellent couple of hours of wrestling and story progression. I'm not a fan of the current world title story, but the suplex on the nails was fantastic, regardless of what the haters say. Loved the differing heel work of Davis and Ricochet in the four way. And the women were outstanding."
[10.0] "10/10 This was the best Dynamite of the year. every match hit including one that went only 7 1/2 minutes. They did all those matches too without sacrificing progressing their stories for the PPV. I cant say enough of how great Mercedes made the still green as grass Billy Starks look. One of my favorite TV matches so far this year (****). I loved 99% of the 4 way up until the finish when they did a cheap double pin. I don't hate the idea of a double pin but it really is a once every two or three year finish to cheat your way to a particular match (****) The street fight good and much better than that boring underwhelming main event of Revolution. Lastly the ending angle with Toni after that great match between Bayne and Statlander (*** 3/4) was incredible and had amazing heat. I really think Statlander is the best worker in that women's division right now. She's believable, athletic, and has amazing intensity. Bayne, is still green here and there but has unlimited star potential. I could say more but I'm sure someone else here will. Great show, not one match missed, and I can't wait until this Saturday for more. The hallmarks of a great product."
[10.0] "[9.5] Honest to god a perfect episode of weekly wrestling TV. Very much a product of its circumstances, with the show having to be retooled and rewritten due to a blizzard, but the resulting product was tight and focused, with everything being given ample time and hitting masterfully. The 4 way was incredible and sets up a Ricochet/Speedball/Omega 3 way which sounds like absolutely insane PWG booking in the most complementary way possible, Billie Starkz had an amazing showcase match vs Mercedes Mone that continues to set up the eventual Mone vs Athena match, Moxley vs Cope had an actually pretty good street fight that makes their absolute stinker at Revolution even worse by comparison and featured Moxley taking what is already a lock for gnarliest bump of the year by taking a suplex onto what was basically a 2x4 with enormous nails, Ospreay and AR Fox had a good match, and Megan Bayne and Kris Statlander had a fantastic main event. As I said, genuinely perfect weekly TV, go watch it immediately."
[8.0] "very good show with bunch of very high level and exciting matches! but there's one thing about AEW weekly shows that they should still work on it, and it is about making unique segments and backstage moments! that takes lots of creativity but when a company represents lots of bangers like this, can be unstoppable by adding those things that I just mentioned."
[10.0] "Man, did I love this episode of AEW Dynamite! This is how I'd want them to structure the show every time, which makes it fairly funny that it was spawned out of a Blizzard limiting prep and roster availability. The opener was amazing, the TBS Championship match was leagues above what I expected, the Street Fight was entertaining as hell, Ospreay vs Fox was the kind of sprint I love on TV, and the main event was true hoss style heavyweight action, and that always makes me happy. Amazing show, I look forward to rewatching it on MAX when they upload the version with no commercial breaks for the matches."
[10.0] "So apparently a snow storm happened in Omaha and they had to change some plans for this Dynamite, the big players were still there, shout out to Jon Moxley who drove 10 plus hours to go to work and did that GRUESOME spot with the spikes, what a beast! I can't put anything less than a 10 because everything presented in this episode worked as intended, over-delivered and even did the job to build the road to All In. The show started with a signature AEW banger match, the 4 way for the International title shot, PWG like action packed match, Mike Bailey was goddamn cool, fun finish to make a 3 way for Dynasty, Ricochet deserves this spot as an efficient heel and Speedball will have his time to shine on PPV. If the plan is Omega vs Okada at All In to unify the titles, just throw a bunch of great mid card talents to feed Omega until july. Then we got a very good TBS title defense with an impressive performance by Billie Starkz, already planting the seeds for the obvious Mercedes Mone vs Athena at All In Texas. The Street Fight for the AEW title delivered, I understand they didn't make this kind of match at Revolution because of the Hollywood Ending and Steel Cage already being hardcore enough in a single show. Yeah Copeland's strength is the no DQ stuff, stop with the regular singles, could be a good tag team wrestler, hope the after match is a tease to a FTR vs Cope & Christian. Will Ospreay still one of the coolest dude ever with a basic but still entertaining performance against AR Fox. All the backstage promos were good especially MJF still teasing his response to the Hurt Syndicate. Very good main event with another Megan Bayne wins over a former champion, I think she could take the women's championship at Dynasty, Toni Storm is a good enough star to have big feuds without a title involved, Jamie Hayter or Willow Nightingale could beat Bayne at All In, that could be huge. Anyway, maybe the best Dynamite of 2025!"
[8.0] "[7, 5] A great weekly, we had some good matches, moved some programs forward and got me pretty hype for the next PPV. Here are my notes for each match: 4-Way = 4, 25* / Mone vs. Starkz = 3, 5* / Mox vs. Cope = 4, 25* / Ospreay vs. AR Fox = 3, 35* / Megan Bayne vs. Kris Statlander = 3, 75*."
"10/10....You'll often hear "one of the greatest episodes of Dynamite ever" thrown around....lots of prisoner of the moment vibes. But IMO...this is one of the rare occasions where its not hyperbole. This truly was one of the best Dynamites i can recall. An all-timer episode. Start to finish it was non stop entertainment and the crowd was incredible. What a show."
[6.0] "Very solid show, but I only found two matches I enjoyed. The 4 way match and the street fight. I don't know why Tony thought that suplex on the nails was a good idea, cause that could've gone worse, Moxley could've been impelled if Copeland messed up. The 4 way was just fun to watch, my prediction was for either Mike or Ricochet were gonna win, but both ended up winning, which was kinda a shocker to me."
[3.0] "Very unpopular opinion... I thought this episode showed everything that is wrong with AEW and left me with a very bad taste in my mouth. See my review for the Mox/Cope match - that was such a mess and disaster. When the world title match is like that, and is also in the middle of the show, how can the show be good? Now the other matches were mostly good through most of the match but they all had pretty major issues - sloppy ring work by people who probably shouldn't be in such a spot, or too much interference and run ins. I really don't get how so many people think this was an amazing episode. Is the sight of a club stuck in Moxley's back really all it takes?"
"10 out of 10. Great 4-way match with plenty of moments for the 4 wrestlers to shine, along with a fun finish to build to a great Dynasty match. Mone and Starkz knocked it out of the park. Mox/Cope was that match that should have happened at Revolution. Great filler with in-ring story for Ospreay's match. Finally, what an awesome main event. Fun commentary and closing angles as well."
[7.0] "One of the more enjoyable AEW TV episodes of the year thanks largely in part to it being heavily in-ring based which is where AEW tends to shine the most. Good opener and main event with some solid matches in-between. The promo time was left backstage or to pre tapes which helped. Some aspects could have been more effective, such as the video package showcasing Billie which highlighted her one ROH TV title reign with zero defenses and not much else prior to her match with Mercedes. Cope/Mox was more entertaining than their PPV effort but I don't know if it needed over 20 minutes on TV. A better step in the right direction still than a number of AEW episodes in recent times. 6.5-7"
[10.0] "This is probably the closer we are ever going to get to prime AEW ever again. This truly an all-timer episode of Dynamite. 2 hours filled with great matches and storylines being developed. Just perfect. The opening four way was great. Mark Davis was amazing and Omega vs. Speedball vs. Ricochet sounds like heaven to me. Billie vs. Mercedes was great too. Billie really put on a great performance and Mercedes keeps proving why she's one of the best female wrestlers of all time. Mox vs. Cope was everything the Revolution should've been. Just a boatload of fun with interferences and sick spots. Spike getting stuck in Mox's back and Yuta trying to pull it out got to be one of the most gruesome things I've ever seen on TV. Just batshit crazy. Hangman announcing himself for the Owen was great and Mercedes teasing a match with Athena which got me barking like a dog. Ospreay vs. Fox was good. Bayne vs. Stat was a great main event. These two are simply incredibile and I'm glad they were given the main event spot. Post-match brawl between Bayne and Toni Storm was hella fun. Overall: just a phenomenal show, top to bottom. Women really stole the show putting on two fantastic matches here. This should be the norm. Amazing, amazing show."
[9.0] "When the worst match on the show is a Will Ospreay match, you know it's a great show. Jon Moxley drove himself hours upon end to impale himself on some spikes en route to retaining his title against Cope (much better than the PPV match), Billie Starkz got a great showcase in the best match of the night against Mercedes Moné, the opening four way was nuts, and we got a great GIRL HOSS main event with added Timeless Toni. A lot was set up for Dynasty too."
[8.0] "Excellent, if low stakes Dynamite. The matches were really high-quality, at times feeling like a really good house show. But the segments ended up making this. All of a sudden the product is feeling more coherent. MJF and Hangman's promos helped, as did the post-title match scene with Cope. Best performers were Mark Davis, Kris Statlander, and you have to give Mox credit for redeeming the Revolution letdown."
[10.0] "Yeah, easy 10. Amazing matches, amazing crowd, amazing show. Basically felt like a pay per view. Surprised Jay White didn't show up during the Cope/Mox match but maybe that was travel issues also."
[10.0] "Three "really, really good" matches, two "really good matches", not a second wasted, all killer no filler. Incredibly heavy on the wrestling, but given a) last week was light on wrestling and b) they were running on a reduced roster due to the weather, even that can be excused. Even better than the insanely good run of TV we got six or seven weeks ago between Homecoming and Australia. And I really cannot hate on Mox driving for twelve hours in the snow just go get a back full of Spike; that's the level of "going beyond" that you want in your standard bearers."
[9.0] "Opener was a fantastic showcase of all 4 guys, and makes for an interesting match at the PPV (I would have preferred a singles match, but when you have Omega, Speedball and Ricochet in there you know there's going to be fireworks). Mone had probably her best weekly TV match, and it really turned me around on Starkz after a few questionable (at best) segments in the weeks leading to the match. Mox/Cope had the match they should have had at the PPV, and the spike spot is one I won't forget - not a good finish, but the one that probably made most sense. Hopefully they put the title on Swerve at Dynasty. Ospreay/Fox was a fun flippy-do match, and Bayne/Statlander was a really good girl hoss fight. Not a match under 3.5*, with 2 of them being on the notebook, made for a great Dynamite!"
[10.0] "Not a single bad match on the card (even Moxley/Copeland did well after a very poor main event at Revolution) and a ton of fun stuff added to the PPV in a few weeks. Just top to bottom a great episode of the show. I enjoyed every match but the first two were my favorite. AEW immediately got their crowd invested in Speedball Mike Bailey. Mercedes might be a wrestler of the year candidate so far, and her match with Billie reintroduced the latter to the AEW crowd in a big way. Bayne/Statlander had a physical, hard-hitting main event. After last week was skewed heavily towards storyline development it was nice to watch some great wrestling action tonight."
[10.0] "What a show! absolutely amazing stuff top to bottom tonight from the promos to the matches to even the pre-tapes. the 4 way started out a little bit slow but they went damn near 30 minutes so that is to be expected, but when they got going, they got GOING! Kenny Omega, Ricochet, and Speedball Mike Bailey are going to have a MOTYC at Dynasty. Mercedes Mone has been on a killer tear, she has really found her grove and is handing out peoples best matches of their careers again! It's great to see. And the main event between Bayne and Statlander might be my favorite of the year."
[10.0] "This is pretty close to a perfect episode of TV wrestling. Every match was good to great and everything hit perfectly. The 4 way was an amazing match. Mercedes and Billie killed it and teased Athena showing up. Mox and Cope got their redemption and had a great match. The suplex spot onto spyke was absolutely gnarly. Ospreay and AR was very good for a short match. And then the women killed it in the main event, and had a great angle to set up the match between Meghan Bayne and Toni Storm at Dynasty."
[10.0] "I thought this was by far the best dynamite of the year. Despite what clearly was a skeleton crew due to the travel issues, I thought those that were there killed it. The two women's matches were both fantastic and maybe was Mercedes best TV match on dynamite, would love to see her face Billie again. The cope/Mox match delivered in a big way and honestly if they did this match at the ppv, it wouldve changed how people viewed that show, the spot with the spiked bat was gnarly but I have so much respect for mox for not only driving 11 hours for this show but taking that bump Also I really loved the 4 way opener and I'm so thrilled to see speedball getting such great reactions from the fans. The three way with ricochet and Kenny should be sensational at Dynasty. All in all a fantastic 2 hours of almost pure pro wrestling as there was very little promo time on the show tonight which I didn't mind."
[10.0] "This week's AEW Dynamite was an all-timer. Top-tier matches and huge moments all around. PAC trekked through a blizzard in his gear like an absolute maniac. We got two women's matches, neither were throwaways, and Toni Storm even main evented over an AEW Title match, She's pure chaos on the mic in the best way. Mox vs Cope was brutal, with Mox earning a ton of respect (even while pulling hardware out of his back). Speedball Mike Bailey debuted and fit right in, and Billie Starkz keeps proving she's way ahead of the game. AEW crushed it this week, plain and simple. Wednesday night PPV quality show."
[10.0] "Well that is by far the best dynamite this year, holy shit, all meat no fat at all, just constant awesome shit after awesome shit after awesome shit, the first time we get two womens matches on the card that are important they deliever and then some, with Megan Bayne getting the rocket strapped quite literally to her, Billie Starkz having the performance of a life time, an unbelievably awesome opener with a smart cool finish to set up a dream 3 way at the ppv, a far better street fight than the match at the ppv with a SICK as fuck bump by Moxley (he's got that dawg in him), and a cool little Ospreay match aswell, you cannot get better than this, a complete 10/10, a run away success."
