AEW DYNAMITE RESULTS – FEBRUARY 12, 2025
The show opens up with shots of The Gunns and The Hurt Syndicate warming up backstage. We also see Dustin Rhodes warming up and MJF smiling and texting someone on his phone.
Hangman Page vs. Max Caster
Inside the arena, fans are chanting “AEW !AEW!” as Excalibur welcomes us to the show. The camera shot settles in the ring, where Max Caster is standing with a microphone in-hand. He starts the show off with a promo talking about shedding the excess baggage of Billy Gunn and Anthony Bowens, proving he was the secret to the success of The Acclaimed all along.
With that in mind, he says it’s time to find out who wants to test themselves against the best wrestler alive. It’s Max Caster Open Challenge time. The new theme for Hangman Page hits and the crowd explodes. Out comes Page as Caster flees the scene and heads into the crowd, where he tries hiding among fans, all of whom are pointing him out to Hangman.
A loud “You f*cked up!” chant spreads as Hangman heads over the barricade looking for him. Caster starts to try and run away, but ultimately ends up luring Hangman into the ring, where he cuts him off upon re-entering and jumping into an early offensive lead as the bell sounds to officially start this match off.
Caster hits a big move off the ropes but after that, it is all “Cowboy Sh*t!” as Hangman easily takes over. Once he does, it’s only a matter of seconds before he connects with a Buckshot Lariat for the pinfall victory. Caster is now 0-2 in his Open Challenges, losing to RUSH previously, and now Hangman tonight. Fans chant “Cowboy Sh*t!”
Winner: Hangman Page

The Death Riders (c) vs. The Undisputed Kingdom
A vignette airs showing the rivalry between Ricochet and Swerve Strickland, with Strickland speaking up to Prince Nana for suggesting he forget other issues and focus on Jon Moxley and regaining the AEW World Championship that belongs around his waist.
Once the package wraps up, we return inside the arena where The Undisputed Kingdom make their way out to the tune of Adam Cole’s theme music. The crowd gives them a big reaction coming out as Excalibur talks on commentary about how things led to this upcoming showdown for the AEW Trios Championship.
After they settle into the ring, their music dies down and the theme for The Death Riders trio hits. Out through the crowd comes the reigning, defending AEW Trios Championship team of PAC, Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli. Footage is shown of their recent brawl with The Undisputed Kingdom.
The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this high stakes title tilt in our second match of the evening. As soon as it does, all six men begin brawling on the floor. Excalibur points out things are picking up where they left off this past Saturday on AEW Collision.
The show heads into a mid-match commercial break with everyone still brawling at ringside. When the show returns, Castagnoli is beating down O’Reilly. They each tag out and after some more back-and-forth action, Strong rolls up Yuta, but he kicks out. Yuta then drop kicks Strong as he gets up.

MJF vs. Dustin Rhodes

Dustin Rhodes’ theme hits and out he comes to a grand introduction by “The Dapper Yapper” Justin Roberts, who emphasizes the fact that Rhodes is from Austin, TX., where the show is located. The fans give him a huge hometown pop and then his music wraps up.
The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one. MJF and Rhodes milk the moment, playing to the crowd with facial reactions, and eventually they collide. Rhodes gets the better of their initial exchange, leading to MJF bailing from the ring and trying to walk off.
Dustin heads out and stops him, and then brings the action back into the ring. Excalibur reminds us that this match will be presented commercial-free from start-to-finish tonight. After some more action, Dustin starts to inch closer-and-closer to victory, only for MJF to ultimately pull it off.

MJF & Hangman Page Brawl
MJF isn’t satisfied after the win, so he continues to beat down “The Natural” until Hangman Page runs out. They go face-to-face and it looks like MJF is going to back down.
Instead, he sneak attacks Hangman and the two proceed to get into an insanely wild brawl that is broken up and restarted 100 times. As they try for the 101st time to break them up, the show heads into another commercial break.

When the show returns, Megan Bayne makes her grand ring entrance. She settles inside the squared circle where her opponent, Maya World, is already waiting for her. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one.
The commentators point out how overly confident Bayne appears, while also singing the praises of some of her past accomplishments. Meanwhile, the two finally engage and Bayne immediately starts to dominate what is a very one-sided beatdown straight out of the gate.
Seconds later, Bayne hits her finisher for the easy squash match victory. After the match, as she is heading to the back, Kris Statlander’s theme hits. The two exchange a hard stare as they cross paths heading opposite directions.

AEW Tag-Team Championships
The Hurt Syndicate (c) vs. The Gunns
It’s main event (match) time!
But first, we see a music video / puppet show from Harley Cameron dissing Mercedes Mone. It stops and Cameron talks directly into the camera with passion about how Mone telling her how much she sucks motivated her. So she thanks her and then vows she will become the TNT Champion in her home land this weekend at AEW Grand Slam: Australia.
Inside the arena, The Gunns make their cool ring entrance and head to the ring for their big title opportunity in our final scheduled match of the evening. They settle inside the ring and then the best theme in wrestling today hits to bring out the reigning, defending AEW Tag-Team Champions.
The Hurt Syndicate duo of Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin make their way out accompanied by MVP. They settle inside the ring with Colten and Austin Gunn as fans chant their “We hurt people!” chorus in the background over-and-over again. They continue to do so after the music dies down.
Finally the bell sounds and this one is officially off-and-running. Fans chant “MVP! MVP!” as Lashley stares down The Gunns corner waiting to see who is going to start things off with him. Colten Gunn decides to. MVP is jawing with the commentators and then eventually joins them on special guest commentary.
Lashley takes the early offensive lead. Colten tags out and in comes Austin as fans are chanting “We hurt people!” The chants then shift to dueling chants, with half still chanting that while the other half begins loudly fighting back with “Gunns up!” chants. Austin starts to get in some offense, but is cut off. The show heads into a mid-match break.
When the show returns, The Gunns finally string together some offense, but all for nothing, as Lashley and Benjamin begin taking back over. Lashley sets things up and Benjamin knocks ’em down and scores the pin for his team. Afterwards, Don Callis Family duo Brian Cage and Lance Archer come out sarcastically applauding Hurt Syndicate.
Winners and AEW Tag-Team Champions: The Hurt Syndicate
Cope Calls Out Jon Moxley
It’s main event (segment) time!
But first, we shoot backstage where AEW Women’s World Champion “The Glamour” Mariah May talks into the camera, sending a message to “Timeless” Toni Storm. She claims she was nothing without her, and insists that this weekend at AEW Grand Slam: Australia, it is going to be a “mercy-killing” when May finishes Storm off once and for all.
On that note, the show heads into another commercial break. When the show returns, Cope’s theme hits and “The Rated-R Superstar” comes out along with Jay White. He has Jon Moxley’s briefcase still and heads into the ring with it along with “Switchblade,” as Excalibur promotes their tag-team tilt against Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli.
Cope talks about Mox’s briefcase having the AEW World Championship in it for he doesn’t know how many months now. He asks if anybody wants to see it. He says he has an idea. He heads under the ring and pulls out a case. He says it’s his old pal Spike, who is hungry. He says if Mox doesn’t come out and give him his answer now he’s gonna smash the case and take it.
Mox comes out and asks if Cope thinks he doesn’t care about the title. Cope says he knows he doesn’t. Mox gets offended and loses his cool, saying he’s left pieces of himself in the ring over that title. He says he’s gonna do something now he doesn’t want to, but he’ll show him how much he cares.
Mox says at Grand Slam: Australia he’s gonna break Cope’s neck. He tells him if he wants his shot at the title, he’s gonna get it. He accepts and their fight for the title at AEW Revolution is on. Cope says he’s gonna show everyone how much he cares about it and begins beating on the briefcase with Spike. The Death Riders hit the ring but White keeps taking them out one-by-one.
Eventually Marina Shafir slides in and takes the briefcase and slides back out while they’re fighting. The numbers becomes too much for Cope and White and Mox and his crew end up taking them out, until White fights back. He turns around to see Mox holding Spike.
Cope runs past White and spears Mox before he can do anything. White says he’s got Revolution set, but before he gets there, he and Cope are putting Mox and The Death Riders in the ground this weekend at Grand Slam: Australia. That’s how this week’s show goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!
