3 | 19.04.2025 | Seosi | 8.0 | I thought this was a pretty strong Dynamite show from AEW. Now, to start with some criticism, It's kind of bothered my that there was no follow up of Ricochet's attack on Strickland at the previous episode, not even a promo or a vignette. But the show itself was fun, with a quality opener between Matthews and Ospreay. And there wasn't even a bad match during the show, in my opinion. I was genuinely surprised where Hobbs won the gauntlet, I thought that Jarrett would've won, but this was the right move to do. Statlander gets a noticable win, which I'm glad, because she's a great wrestler. The return of Kenny Omega was fine, the staredown between him and Ospreay was a smart way to close an overall strong show. |

10 | 21.02.2025 | WAKA Flockanoku | 6.0 | This episode of Dynamite had a really strong start, but ultimately fell short of becoming more by the end. The Casino Gauntlet match really could have been better in my opinion as well as had some time shaved off for the women's main event. [MOTN: Buddy Matthews vs. Will Ospreay] |

15 | 03.02.2025 | crfdevitt | 7.0 | It was a fun show to watch. Buddy Matthews vs. Ospreay was the match of the night. I wish the Three-Way Match had been better, but it was still enjoyable. Kenny Omega's return to AEW was very special, it's great to have him back! |
16 | 30.01.2025 | Maui | 6.0 | Despite that horrible last Triple Threat Women's match, this AEW episode got two solid matches with the AEW World Title #1 Contendership Casino Gauntlet Match and the singles match between Ospreay and Matthews, a solid promo between JJ and MJF and that good emotional speech by Adam Copeland. Hihglight was definetely the return of Kenny Omega and his speech, but he soon got ambushed by bad dudes, then Ospreay made the save. Overall it was way ahead of last week's very weak episode, but AEW still got major problems booking-wise (just like every other major American competition right now) and still has a messed up Word Title picture with grandpas being in there (Edge, JJ, Christian possibly). 6 points |

22 | 23.01.2025 | hassan01 | 8.0 | A very good show, a close 9 imo. Ospreay/Buddy slapped big time and the rest of the matches that followed were good ones too, not special or extraordinary but I enjoyed them. Hobbs winning was a surprise moment but much needed as well considering he felt lost in the shuffle for a long time and its nice that after the good showing at Worlds End, they decided to give him another opportunity to shine. The segments were amazing, notable mentions include JJ/MJF, Omega returning after an year, May's promo was lovely as always, PP/Hurt Syndicate and Cope/Death Riders made good use of the tv time as well. Nothing much to complain here. Angles were advanced and the the in-ring content was wonderful and legit. |

24 | 21.01.2025 | joshbrady91 | 6.0 | This show was average at best, Will vs Buddy saved it from being a "bad show", they put on a great match! Bobby Lashley is so dull, the Women's division is still pure trash. |

31 | 18.01.2025 | maven lover | 8.0 | THE GOOD: What luck, Schiavone isn't here! Pick Excalibur out of there & make the desk Menard/Riccaboni, & then suddenly, the commentary booth is good! It's magic. Ospreay vs. Matthews features the two playing to each other's strengths to a tee, & is a fantastic way to open the night up. Ospreay cuts a nice promo announcing his support for Matthews, & the prospect of seeing them work together in the future is a favorable one. Lashley vs Briscoe is a chaotic, super fun brawl. I'm not a huge battle royal guy, and this one duly impressed me. When Jarrett started his promo & MJF's music hit, I hadn't been that stoked for anything AEW related in a long time; if you're going to complain about Jeff Jarrett, I've got nothing for you. This is a great way to get some wind in MJF's sails after this sub-optimal Adam Cole repeat feud. I there's validity to the idea that MJF has been going too ham-fisted with the edge-lord stuff as of late, and this felt like a solid switch away from the ham-fistedness as the fact that he's bad-mouthing Jarrett adds drama & validity, but I'm probably far too forgiving of MJF. Edge's promo was a perfectly fine meat and potatoes promo. THE BAD: In their first Dynamite appearance since winning the belts 46 days ago, Private Party's promo is interrupted by MVP; Tony is the king of booking neither-talent-can-afford-to-lose affairs. Mark Briscoe is dished yet another loss on prime time TV. This Death Riders stuff is literally just the same shit every single week. Pairing Mariah May with the perplexingly unfunny Harley Cameron is like taking my $20 double bacon cheeseburger & flushing it down the toilet. CONCLUSION: I like to think that I'm pretty hard on AEW & everything that I review in general, but every single match tonight got a 7-or-above from me. An episode not devoid of some of the typical negative things (Harley, Death Riders, a few wonky decisions, ) but I'll be damned if I don't say that this was my favorite episode of AEW that I've reviewed so far. Unquestionably better than Fight For The Fallen '25. |

36 | 16.01.2025 | Open The Vault | 7.0 | This was a good episode of Dynamite, way better than last week's show. We opened with Will Ospreay taking on Buddy Matthews in a breathtaking opening. I mean absolutely great and made Buddy Matthews look good in defeat, Ospreay showing praise to Matthews after the match was good. Lashley vs. Briscoe was as you expected, Lashley dominated the match with Briscoe having flurry at times but succumbing to the strength of Bobby Lashley. The match itself was basic and predictable on all fronts. The Men's Casino Gauntlet was good but ended abruptly in my opinion, Their was some good stuff but nothing majorly amazing about it. I was shocked with Hobbs winning and I'm interested to see where that goes. The MJF / Jarrett stuff was interesting, an unexpected turn of events but interesting. MJF's promo work has devolved in my opinion, It's just repetitive shtick that got OLD...QUICK. The segment itself was decent. Then Cope came out and cut a decent promo before everything kinda fell apart. The Deathriders came out and then FTR sneak attacked them and then oh great...another Deathriders brawl...and then it looks like Mox was gonna choke Cope before Hobbs made the save. It just felt so repetitive and at this point. The Deathriders are decent but need something to mix it up. They do more interesting stuff on Collision or hell even the last episode of RAMPAGE. The Three Way was also decent but nothing crazy with Statlander getting the shocking win. Then....THE CLEANER Kenny Omega made his Dynamite return to his WK Theme song and it was AWESOME, so much aura! He then cut an emotional promo, I mean heart-gripping and just before it got GREAT, I heard Don Callis' music and I rolled my eyes into the back of my head. Omega attacked Callis and then his goons helped. Ospreay came out and then Omega and Ospreay had a stare down. [***3/4] |
37 | 16.01.2025 | AmethystCassidy | 8.0 | [8.0] A step up from last week's show, but still not there yet. The show started with a banger between Ospreay and Buddy Murphy, with Ospreay going over. My highlight was Ospreay calling Murphy 'Matthews.' I laughed out loud when this happened. I also enjoyed Ospreay mentioning Adam Brooks, who is probably my favorite Aussie wrestler. I hope to see him in AEW in the future. The second match was Bobby Lashley defeating Mark Briscoe in an ok match that went much longer than it should have. I do get it that Tony really likes Mark, but he has always seemed like the weaker side of the Briscoes to me; his brother was the true star. So, in my opinion, he shouldn't be booked as strongly as he is right now. After the end of the match, Hurt Syndicate attacked Mark and Private Party came for the rescue. The third match was the Casino Gauntlet match, with Hobbs coming out as winner. As much as I'm not a fan of gauntlet matches, this one was very entertaining with a very interesting finish with Hobbs going over. Even though Hobbs has zero chance of winning the title against Mox, I prefer it when AEW puts homegrown talent over. The gauntlet match was followed by a Jeff Jerret promo with MJF interrupting him. Not really interested in this storyline tbh. The following segment was Cope coming in to the ring to call out Mox and the Deathriders, which started a brawl in and outside of the ring and ended with Hobbs coming to save Cope. Again, not interested in anything Cope, Jericho, Deathriders or Double J are doing right now. I'm hoping either for this programs to end or start to get interesting cuz they're clearly the weakest part of every show, at least for me. The final match was the three way match for the #1 spot in next week casino gauntlet for the women's world tile. It was a decent match, nothing spectacular, with Statlander winning. I've never understood the concept of going first in the gauntlet. Why is it an advantage? If the match can end in a single pinfall at any moment, why going in first is an advantage? Anyways, I'm really tired of these gauntlet matches, and I'm not seeing them going away anytime soon. The main event of the show was the official Kenny Omega return to AEW. And man, it's so good seeing him back. IMO AEW is desperately needing him, he is the best wrestler in AEW history and proved against Gabe Kidd that he still is at least a top 5 wrestler in the world. His beating of Callis was so funny, especially after he said he wasn't worried about revenge. The show ended with Ospreay coming in to rescue Kenny, establishing a possible alliance there. Really excited to see what will happen between those two. Overall a very enjoyable show to watch. Still not on par with what AEW can produce, but a very nice weekly show. |

40 | 15.01.2025 | Sandmann | 7.0 | Insgesamt eine ganz ordentliche Ausgabe von Dynamite. Der Opener war auch direkt mein MOTN. Ospreay und Matthews liefern sich direkt mal ein gutes Match. Man hat das Gefühl das da noch mehr geht und das sagt Ospreay in seiner Promo danach ja auch. Trotzdem, wenn man so in die Show startet kann man wirklich nicht viel falsch machen. Lashley gegen Briscoe hat mir gefallen. Briscoe zeigt schon mal ganz gut wie Matches gegen Lashley laufen müssen. Das war insgesamt ein gutes Showing von beiden. Bin gespannt was man noch so von Lashley sehen wird. Das Casino Gauntlet der Männer war unterhaltsam. Auch das bestbesetzte bisher würde ich sagen. Hobbs als Sieger sicherlich überraschend, aber hat mir schon gefallen. Der Three Way hat mir auch gefallen. Kris als SIegerin geht klar. Da wird direkt Action im Frauen Casino Gauntlet sein. Für den Rookie Storm was das Match auch noch eine Nummer zu groß. War aber sehr unterhaltsam. |

55 | 13.01.2025 | Robert Taylor | 8.0 | Dynamite hat mir dieser Woche gut gefallen. Mit Kenny Rückkehr hat man ein klares Highlight, welches auch die Show beendet. Die Fehde gegen Don Callis liegt natürlich auf der Hand und ist logisch. Die Matches haben mir allesamt ganz gut gefallen, Qspreay vs. Buddy war klasse und sollte man das House wirklich auflösen, würde och das sehr begrüßen. Lashley vs. Briscoe hat mir auch gut gefallen und das Hurt Syndicate kommt generell wie das übelste Badass-Stable daher. Richtig gute Präsentation. Das Casino Gaunte! Match war erneut sehr unterhaltsam und der Three Way der Damen hat auch Spaß gemacht. Dazu gab es noch eine gute Promo zwischen MJF und Double J. |

69 | 12.01.2025 | Ozwern | 8.0 | Definitely an improvement over the underwhelming first week for AEW in the new year. Matches were solid and some good short promos. Double j and MJF angle ... not thrilled about it but I'll give it a chance. Death Riders storyline seems to have no juice left in it. Women's match was really good but it was short. They really need to give them more time, how do you have your top 3 women out there and best you can do is 10 minutes is beyond me. |
70 | 12.01.2025 | RestlingThots | 8.0 | 1) I turned on Dynamite right after I finished watching Wrestle Dynasty, and noticed a glaring difference between Japanese and American style of pro-wrestling, or at least between NJPW and AEW style of pro-wrestling. In Japan they know how to give their matches breathe, especially after spectacular spots or hard-hitting moves. In the opening match of this episode of Dynamite between Buddy Mathews and Will Ospreay all I saw was a move after move after move. Don't get me wrong, the moves were spectacular, but if you don't let the viewers register those moments and digest them, you could as well not do them at all. The only thing I remember from that match is the finish. That kind of match, with that number of spots, would last for at least twice as long in NJPW as it did here. It's the same in hip-hop - just because you can rap fast doesn't mean you have to. I don't enjoy rap songs with fast rapping as well as I don't enjoy wrestling matches with a fast pace. You want to have sudden accelerations, sure, but if your entire match is a non-stop action, it stops having meaning. 2) I rarely say anything negative about MJF (actually, I've never said anything bad about him), but his segment with Jeff Jarret was mid and didn't make much sense. How exactly MJF would help Double J to win the world title? Why he can't do it himself? 3) We all agree that the winner of the Women's Casino Gauntlet Match next week will be Toni Storm, right? |
71 | 12.01.2025 | sammyrobot2 | 7.0 | Good Ospreay match, but didn't really click for me in some ways. None of it was necessarily bad, but it felt like almost a template match rather than anything special. A template Ospreay match is still good tho. |

He is so lame can't get behind him. I would love to see Mox vs White one on one, but that also seems me getting away from picture. Christian contract of title also a dead end now. I don't know how they gonna execute it. Crowd was so dead. They don't even try to react. Flat reaction but good show. |

82 | 12.01.2025 | marexcel | 4.0 | Im Kern erzählt Dynamite hier wirklich nichts, worauf ich in der Folgewoche wirklich gespannt bin. Die Show an sich verläuft schleppend, steigert sich aber immerhin im In-Ring-Produkt, ehe die Damen am Ende mein MOTN liefern, weil ich mit dem Ansatz von Ospreay hier mal wieder so gar nichts anfangen kann. Das war für mich genauso neben der Spur, wie sein "Murphy" in der Post-Match-Promo. Die Deathriders sind weiter ein Grund, AEW eher abzuschalten und aus MJF wurde binnen kürzester Zeit nur ein weiteres Roster-Mitglied. Die Story mit Double-J hilft mir da auch nicht. Es ist nun in Summe kein Trash, aber für mich nicht mehr als ausreichend. Kennys Promo ist nicht überragend, aber dennoch ist es weiterhin die beste Entwicklung, dass er wieder im AEW-TV präsent ist. Mein einziger Hoffnungsschimmer für die kommenden Wochen. |

88 | 11.01.2025 | JordanLC96 | 9.0 | I loved this episode of Dynamite, fantastic return to form after last week's down episodes. Ospreay Vs Buddy was outstanding, as excepted. Lashley Vs Briscoe was not a match I ever thought about but this was great, think this will become an underrated gem. As always, the casino gauntlet match was a lot of fun, and an unexpected but really good choice of winner - Hobbs impressed at Worlds End and now gets another opportunity to show just how good he is. Main event also a fun match, Toni's 'rookie' character is so enjoyable to watch and Kris and Willow deliver as usual. On top of the great wrestling, this week's promos also are really strong - MJF / JJ was much better than I expected, Cope is fantastic and the return of Kenny felt massive. Lots of future matches teased and a fantastic 2-hour show (9/10) |

91 | 11.01.2025 | Pro Wrestling 1948 | 9.0 | Really enjoyable episode of Dynamite. The opener was tremendous! The best wrestler in the world Will Ospreay earns a win over Buddy Matthews. I wouldn't mind Ospreay reforming UE and Buddy Matthews defecting over to that stable. Bobby Lashley knocks Mr. Redneck Kung Fu, after the Hurt Syndicate informs Private Party they are coming for the tag titles. Love the Casino Gauntlet Match, and it provided a surprise finish, which I liked. Kris Stat wins a three-way over Willow and Toni Storm. The episode also included a little MJF and Death Riders drama. |
92 | 11.01.2025 | Reprise | 7.0 | It was another solid episode of Dynamite. I was close to giving it an 8, but I still feel AEW is just missing something at the moment. The Deathriders storyline continues to be a complete drag. I don't mind Copeland being in the world title scene and I certainly don't mind him feuding with Moxley, but it just doesn't feel like it's the right moment. Perhaps it's because I want the company to pivot FAST away from this Deathriders stuff and get the title off of Moxley. Otherwise though, it was consistently a decent episode, with glimmers of greatness. The opening match between Ospreay and Buddy was excellent. Honestly, if AEW got back to just putting on awesome match after awesome match, but the storylines are lacking, I could live with it. The promo that followed it was a bit weird and borderline patronising though, but I feel I am nitpicking there. The Hurt Syndicate continue to be great. The Casino Gauntlet was fun as always, although the lack of real surprises was a little disappointing. Powerhouse Hobbs continuing to be pushed is great, but I can't help feeling it's a little soon for him and it is far too obvious that he isn't winning. AEW needs less predictable title matches, because it's become incredibly obvious in the past year or two how they are telegraphing stories. The women's match was good, with a surprising win for Kris Statlander. AEW needs to continue some of the momentum she has built from her feud with Mercedes, so a good choice. The highlight of the episode, besides the opening match, was obviously the return of Kenny Omega. Did we need the Don Callis family shtick and obvious support from rival, Ospreay, though? A minor complaint though. Overall, a good show. I just wish we could move past this Deathriders nonsense. |

The pacing was great between the matches & the promos that were being cut from the likes of MJF, Jeff Jarrett, & Kenny Omega (which was great to see him back in an AEW ring). |
