AEW DYNAMITE RESULTS – MARCH 5, 2025
This week’s show kicks off inside the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium, where Excalibur, Ian Riccaboni and Taz quickly welcome us to the show before sending things out to the streets of Sacramento, CA.
MJF Calls Hangman Page Out On Streets Of Sacramento
In the streets of Sacramento, we see “The Devil” himself, Maxwell Jacob Friedman. He talks about being sick and fed up with his little groupie fan-club.
He brings up Hangman Page’s buckshot lariat and says, “I got a bullet with the name Hangman! Hangman! Hangman!” He asks if Hangman wants to shoot and tells him to “saddle up partner!”
AEW Revolution Contract Signing: Swerve Strickland vs. Ricochet
Inside the arena, Tony Schiavone is shown standing in the ring with a microphone in-hand. He says it’s time for the AEW Revolution 2025 contract signing for the AEW World Championship No. 1 Contender match between bitter rivals Swerve Strickland and Ricochet.
Swerve’s theme hits and out comes the former AEW World Champion to the ring. He settles inside the squared circle accompanied by Prince Nana. He takes a seat at the table. Ricochet’s theme hits and out comes his opponent for Sunday’s high stakes showdown.
Ricochet takes a seat and begins first on the microphone. He taunts Swerve about not having the best of luck with contract signings in the past. He tells him he’s here in front of him, though, so he doesn’t have to worry about him burning down his house. He laughs and fans loudly chant “You suck! You suck1”
Strickland calmly tells him, “Sign the contract, Ricochet.” Ricochet isn’t ready yet, however, as he wants to get in a few more insults and comments. After he does exactly that, he makes it clear after this he’ll be focused on Jon Moxley and Cope and becoming what he was always supposed to be, AEW World Champion.
He goes to make one final insult to Nana, but Swerve interjects angrily and cuts him off. He tells him to shut up and then asks if Ricochet really thinks a low-blow victory over him really means something. He says he took a pair of scissors and stabbed him in the face, leaving him in a pool of blood, but the biggest mistake he made was he left him breathing.
He says he awakened the most dangerous man in AEW, and that is something he will live to regret. The fans loudly break out in dueling “Who’s House” / “Swerve’s House!” chants. Swerve says when he’s done with him, there’s only two things he’ll be remembered for, briefly resurrecting his career, and “you’re ring announcer wife.”
The fans pop big for that as Swerve signs the dotted line to make the match official. Ricochet tries attacking Swerve, but Swerve was prepared, stabbing Ricochet with a pair of scissors of his own. He leaves Ricochet flailing on the mat with blood coming out of his head. His theme hits again and he calmly walks off.
Excalibur promotes their No. 1 contender match for the AEW World Championship at AEW Revolution 2025 this coming Sunday night at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, CA. Riccaboni joins him in running down action still to come here on tonight’s show, as the official match graphics flash across the screen.
Will Ospreay, Powerhouse Hobbs, Mark Briscoe & Orange Cassidy vs. Bryan Keith, Mark Davis, Lance Archer & Brian Cage
Excalibur sends things to a special video package announcing AEW’s new deal with Prime Video, which calls for the streaming platform to carry AEW pay-per-view events, starting with this Sunday’s AEW Revolution 2025 show.
After it wraps up, the show returns inside the arena, where “The Dapper Yapper” Justin Roberts begins the pre-match ring introductions for the eight men involved in the scheduled opening contest. First out for his four-man team is Will Ospreay.
As “The Aerial Assassin” heads to the ring, the show heads to a quick pre-match commercial break. When the show returns, Mark Briscoe’s theme hits and out he comes. He stops and waits as Orange Cassidy’s theme hits to bring out the “Freshly Squeezed” one. The two Conglomeration members head to the ring together.
With Ospreay, Briscoe and Cassidy settled in the ring, the theme for their fourth and final teammate hits, and out comes Powerhouse Hobbs. After the babyface foursome are in the squared circle and ready to rock and roll, the entrances for their opposition begins, starting with Bryan Keith of The Learning Tree.
From there, the ominous music of The Don Callis Family hits and out comes The Murder Machines duo from the faction, which consists of “The Murderhawk Monster” Lance Archer and “The Machine” Brian Cage, as well as Mark Davis. Callis accompanies them to the ring and heads to the commentary desk to join in on the call for this one.
After the bell sounds to get things started, Cage and Ospreay kick things off for their respective teams. A loud “F**k Don Callis!” chant breaks out from the Sacramento crowd in attendance as Cage jumps off to an early dominant lead on offense, taking it to “The Aerial Assassin” for the first few moments.
Ospreay hits a hurricanrana counter that shifts the momentum in his favor. He follows up with a back-suplex on the big man, before heading over to tag in Briscoe. The former ROH World Champion hits the ring, and immediately starts implementing his fan-friendly Redneck Fu style.
The babyface team get Cage isolated in their corner of the ring. Briscoe heads up and does the ten-punch spot as the crowd counts along with each shot that lands. He tags out, and in comes one of his partners who does the same ten-punch spot. He tags out, and in comes the third member of the team doing the same spot. Cassidy comes in last and hits just one instead of ten.
Cage ends up killing Cassidy’s momentum, Donkey Kong’ing the smaller man into the ring mat, before tagging in his Murder Machines partner, Lance Archer. Archer comes in and rag-dolls Cassidy some more, only for the defiant Cassidy to do the big dramatic hands up and back down in the jean pockets routine.
Unfortunately for him, things didn’t pick up from there for him, as Archer instead runs him over with a big power spot that elicits gasps from the packed Sacramento crowd. With Cassidy laid out in the ring and “The Murderhawk Monster” in a comfortable offensive lead, the show heads into a mid-match commercial break.
When the show returns, we see Callis stomp on Cassidy on the outside before Davis throws Cassidy back into the ring. Archer picks Cassidy up and Cage tags back in.

Wheeler Yuta makes his way out to the ring. As The Death Riders member settles inside the squared circle, the show heads into a quick pre-match commercial break. When the show returns, the iconic sounds of Cope’s entrance tune hits the house speakers, and out comes “The Rated-R Superstar.”
The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one, where Cope has vowed to take out the last remaining member of The Death Riders, leaving Jon Moxley alone at AEW Revolution for their title tilt.

Max Caster vs. Jay White
We return inside the building, where Max Caster makes his way out to the ring. He makes the ring announcer refer to him as ‘The Best Wrestler Alive.’ He gets on the microphone and says “Cut my music, cut my music!” like MJF. He calls himself the best wrestler and says he wants to get everyone on the same page.
With that said, he tries schooling the crowd in attendance on a chant he wants. He begins repeating to the crowd, “Let’s go Max, you’re the best wrestler alive!” Of course, no one chants it. Caster calls everyone in Sacramento “a bunch of ball-bags.” He says it’s time to see “Who can survive ‘The Best Wrestler Alive.'”
On that note, the theme for the man answering the latest Max Caster Open Challenge hits and out comes “Switchblade” Jay White to a decent pop from the California crowd. As his music dies down, fans are loudly chanting “You f**ked up!” at Caster. The bell sounds and off we go. Literally within seconds White hits his Bladerunner and finishes off Caster with ease.
Winner: Jay White
Renee Paquette Sits Down With Mariah May & “Timeless” Toni Storm
In a special all-white room, Renee Paquette is seated in-between “The Glamour” Mariah May and AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm. As Paquette thanks the two for agreeing to not get physical, May jumps out of her seat, leans over and spits in Storm’s face. Storm, without reacting, says in a monotone voice, “It’s good to see you still care.”
Paquette freaks out at May for doing that. May then gets down to business and in an emotionally shaky voice, talks about how far things have gone and what she has been reduced to. She tells Storm they can have their big “Hollywood Ending” this Sunday. Storm tells May she’s destined for a lifetime of mediocrity.
Storm says people will then ask in the future what happened to May. “She found out what happens when you try to kill God.” May throws her chair and stands up. Storm does the same. The two stare each other down as the show heads into another commercial break.
Kazuchika Okada & Ricochet vs. Swerve Strickland & Brody King
It’s main event time!
When the show returns, the ring entrances for the four men involved in the advertised tag-team main event of tonight’s AEW Revolution 2025 “go-home” episode of AEW Dynamite begin.

On that note, the show shifts gears and heads into a mid-match commercial break as Ricochet remains in a comfortable offensive lead, handling Swerve and taunting the fans in attendance.
When the show returns, things in the main event pick up, as Ian Riccaboni informs us per Tony Khan that we’re in overtime, as we’re past the 10 o’clock hour, and that TBS and MAX will stay with the action in our main event until an outcome is reached.
After some more back-and-forth action, we see Swerve hit a big Swerve Stomp on Ricochet. Before he can finish him off for the win, however, Okada attacks from behind. Brody King hits the ring and deals with him and the crowd comes to life.
King goes for a cannonball splash to a seated Okada in the corner, but “The Rainmaker” moves and King crashes and burns. Okada grabs his AEW Continental Championship belt and looks to cheap shot King with it, but Swerve blasts him.
As the chaos continues, Ricochet manages to sneak in a cheap shot with the belt to Swerve. He gets the cover and the win for he and Okada’s team. He rolls out of the ring as his theme music plays.
