AEW Summer Blockbuster Results 6/11 - Swerve Strickland Faces Will Ospreay, TayJay Take On Bayne & Ford

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for AEW Summer Blockbuster on June 11, 2025, coming to you live from the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon!

Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay will be meeting one another in the ring tonight as tensions between them and "Hangman" Adam Page continue to grow. Ospreay has tried making appeals to both Strickland and Page in order to get them to join forces with each other and him so they can take down Jon Moxley and The Death Riders, but has been unsuccessful in his attempts thus far.

Tay Melo and Anna Jay of TayJay will be reuniting for the first time since coming up short against Ruby Soho and Willow Nightingale in a Street Fight on the January 13, 2023 episode of "AEW Rampage" as they take on Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford. Not only did Jay, Bayne, and Ford all met one another in the ring on the May 28 episode of "Dynamite" when the former two women defeated the latter and Harley Cameron in a No Disqualification Match, but Melo came to Jay's aid last Wednesday during the Fyter Fest special when Bayne and Ford had left Jay laid out.

AEW World Tag Team Champions Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin will be teaming up with one another and their Hurt Syndicate stablemate MJF to take on Kevin Knight, "Speedball" Mike Bailey, and Komander in trios action. The Hurt Syndicate told Knight, Bailey, and Komander  at Fyter Fest that they needed to first earn their respect when the former three men looked to challenge them to a match. Later that same night, they earned the respect of The Hurt Syndicate when they defeated Rush, The Beast Mortos, and Dralistico of La Faccion Ingobernable.

AEW International Champion Kenny Omega and AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada will both be putting their titles on the line in a Winner Takes All Match at AEW All In on July 12. Before the familiar foes meet one another in the ring once again, they will be putting pen-to-paper tonight as they sign the contract to make the match official.

After joining forces with Hechicero and his Don Callis Family stablemate Konosuke Takeshita to defeat The Outrunners and Bandido in trios competition at Fyter Fest, Kyle Fletcher looks to bring another win back to The Don Callis Family as he goes one-on-one with Anthony Bowens. Bowens will surely be extra motivated to score a win tonight as well, having come up short against Ricochet and the aforementioned Okada in a Continental Championship Eliminator match on the May 21 edition of "Dynamite" and the May 31 episode of "AEW Collision" respectively.

Queen Aminata will be returning to an AEW ring for the first time since coming up short to Toni Storm in an AEW Women's World Championship Eliminator Match at the "Collision" Playoff Palooza special on April 26 as she collides with Thekla. This will mark Thekla's second ever match in AEW, having defeated Lady Frost last week at Fyter Fest.

Speaking of Storm, she will be competing in a match of her own tonight as she squares off with Julia Hart in non-title action as Mercedes Mone watches the action from the announce desk. The reigning TBS Champion ate a steak dinner and a glass of wine at the announce desk at Fyter Fest as she watched Storm and Mina Shirakawa defeat Hart and Skye Blue in a tag team match.

Additionally, CMLL star Mistico will be making his return to AEW as he appears on tonight's show as a potential match between him and the aforementioned MJF hangs in the balance for AEW Grand Slam: Mexico.

We are live! Excalibur, Taz, and Ian Riccaboni greet audiences at home before we see Christopher Daniels try to reason with "Hangman" Adam Page and explain to him that he can't take on The Death Riders by himself. We see that Jon Moxley has been listening to the entire conversation, and The Death Riders follow him closely behind.

Will Ospreay then makes his way to the ring. Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana follow.

The bell rings and the two men shake hands. They then lock up, but Strickland lands a strike on Ospreay. Ospreay responds with a bodyslam and a standing Phoenix Splash, but Strickland lands a rolling flatliner on Ospreay. Ospreay connects with a flipping kick on Strickland, then flies over the top rope to level Strickland on the outside.

Back from the break, Strickland continues wearing down Ospreay outside the ring and drapes him across the top rope. He lands a double stomp to his spine off the top rope, then wears his arm down with a submission hold. Ospreay levels Strickland with an arm drag and rocks him with a forearm, but Strickland lands a bodyslam on Ospreay and looks to follow it up with a delayed vertical suplex. Ospreay counters into a Stun Dog Millionaire, but Strickland catches him in a submission hold.

Ospreay escapes and lands a Frakenstiener on Strickland, but Strickland fires off strikes on Ospreay.

The Death Riders surround Strickland in the ring, but The Young Bucks attack Strickland from behind and deliver the EVP Trigger to him. Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson handcuff Strickland to the middle rope, then fire off superkicks on him. Wheeler Yuta slides The Young Bucks a bag, and Matthew removes a pair of their shoes with thumbtacks attached to the bottom. Nicholas and Matthew each put on a shoe, and look to land a double superkick on Strickland. Ospreay dives in front of Strickland at the last second and takes the double superkick for Strickland.

Mistico then makes his way to the ring. Blake Christian is already waiting inside.

Christian lands an arm drag on Mistico off the middle rope and rains down right hands on him in the center of the ring, then jams his boot into his neck. Mistico lands a hurricanrana on Ospreay, then lands a diving headbutt on Christian through the middle rope.

Mistico dumps Christian back inside the ring, then connects with an enzuigiri on him from the apron and follows it up with a crossbody off the top rope. Mistico ascends up the ropes, but Moriarty grabs his ankle. This opens the door for Chrisitan to fly through the middle rope to level Mistico on the outside, then dump him back in the ring and deliver a 450 Splash to him off the top. Christian goes for a pin, but Mistico kicks out and lands a Spanish Fly on him off the top for the win.

Winner: Mistico

After the match, The Hurt Syndicate's music hits and they make their way out. MVP says he has an official announcement from The Hurt Syndicate, but it's not from him but rather from MJF. MJF promises that he will remove Mistico's mask next week when they face off at AEW Grand Slam: Mexico, but Mistico says that Mexico City is his home and his mother will be in the crowd. MJF says Mistico is still sloppy Sin Cara and looks to clock him, but Mistico clocks MJF first. Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin come out MJF's aid, and the trio look to remove Mistico's mask. "Speedball" Mike Bailey, Kevin Knight, and Mascara Dorada (taking the place of Komander who The Hurt Syndicate had taken out earlier in the show) come to Mistico's aid, and fly over the top rope to level MJF, Lashley, and Benjamin.

MJF and Dorada begin the action. The bell rings and The Hurt Syndicate blindsides Dorada, Knight, and Speedball with an attack. Benjamin lands a bodyslam on Knight, and Lashley sends Speedball crashing into one of the barricades. MJF connects with a bodyslam to Dorada, but Dorada lands a hurricanrana on MJF. Knight tags in and immediately tags out to Speedball, and the pair double team on MJF. Dorada then tags back in and MJF locks up with him.

MVP hits Speedball with the cane, opening the door for MJF to land a DDT on Speedball for the win.

Winners: The Hurt Syndicate

After the match, MJF continues beating down Speedball before Lashley and Benjamin beat down Knight and Dorada. MJF dumps Dorada back in the ring and unmasks him, then parades his mask around. Mistico takes down MJF with a tijeras and wrenches back on his arm.

"Hangman" Adam Page's music hits, but Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, and Marina Shafir drag him on the entrance ramp with tape on his mouth and around his hands. Jon Moxley appears and apologizes to Page, then says he wanted to make sure that they would have a real conversation. He says Page is worried about everyone but himself when the fans need him focused for their AEW World Championship All In Match. He says Page should pack up his things and get out if he isn't prepared for All In. 

The Death Riders attack Page and place a chair around his neck, but The Opps' music hits and they run out to the ring to come to Page's aid. The Death Riders retreat, but Page grabs a microphone and promises that he will take the heads of The Death Riders if he finds them again tonight. 

TayJay, Megan Bayne, and Penelope Ford then make their way to the ring.

Ford then tags in and gets Melo up on her shoulders, but Melo delivers a Gory Bomb-knee strike combination to Ford for the win.

Tony Schiavone introduces Okada and Omega, and they both make their way to the ring. Schiavone then unveils the AEW Unified Championshipt belt (the AEW International Championship and AEW Continental Championship combinated) with side plates of the One Winged Angel and The Rain Maker before passing the contract over to Okada and Omega to sign.

Okada wastes no time signing the contract and hands it to Omega, but Omega says almost seven years ago, they had their last match with one another. He says he barely recognizes himself from the last time they squared off, then says they should leave it all in the ring one final time and signs the contract.

Don Callis' music hits, and he makes his way out. He says Omega should be ashamed of himself and says Konosuke Takeshita and Kyle Fletcher should be involved instead of Okada. Omega cuts off Callis and says he's already beaten the both of them. He says Callis won't ruin his match against Okada at All In, and there's not one trick that Callis can pull that he hasn't seen before. Okada blindsides Omega from behind, revealing himself as the newest member of The Don Callis Family. Callis then hands Okada a baton and gets Omega up before Okada hits Omega in the midsection and across the spine with a baton.
