Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "AEW Dynamite" on July 16, 2025, coming to you live from the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Illinois!

After a hard fought battle in a Texas Death Match against Jon Moxley at AEW All In this past Saturday that saw a number of other names get involved including The Death Riders, Will Ospreay, Darby Allin Bryan Danielson, "Hangman" Adam Page managed to regain the AEW World Championship for the first time since losing it on May 9, 2022.

Elsewhere, "Timeless" Toni Storm emerged victorious against multi champion and winner of the 2025 Women's Owen Hart Cup Tournament Mercedes Mone at All In to retain her AEW Women's World Champion and continue her 150+ day reign as titleholder. Following such, she will be appearing on tonight's show to give a victory speech to the AEW fanbase.

We are live! Excalibur, Taz, and Tony Schiavone greet audiences at home as "Hangman" Adam Page makes his way to the ring.

Fans tell Page that he deserves it, but Page says that the fans really are the ones who deserve it. Page says the fans started a revolution that changed the wrestling world and the reason that AEW exists in the first place, then says he wants the fans to know that wrestlers don't compete for a title but for the fans themselves. He says the fans deserved to see the AEW World Championship and to have a champion that understands the connection with fans as well as one that is grateful for them.

Page says he didn't just walk into a battle at All In in his Texas Death Match against Jon Moxley, but he walked into a war to free the AEW World Championship. He thanks everyone who's helped him on his nine month mission to free the title including Orange Cassidy, "Switchblade" Jay White, Adam Copeland, The Opps, Bryan Danielson, Darby Allin, and Will Ospreay who reminded him of why he loved wrestling at AEW Double or Nothing. He thanks Swerve Strickland for helping him despite their storied history with one another, then says All In weekend was full of highs, lows, blood, and tears. He says people like Moxley would say crying makes Page weak and less of a man, but he has the love and respect of his wife, kids, and the fans.

Cope then makes his way to the ring. 

Cope thanks the fans for their support, then says there's a lot of questions after All In. He says at the top of the list of questions is whether he came to the ring to save Christian Cage, and Cope confirms that he didn't. He says Cage has made his life miserable since he arrived in AEW, then runs down the list of things he's done to him in their shared time of AEW. He says Cage has done everything he did out of jealousy, and couldn't stand to see Cope win the AEW World Championship before he did. Cope tells Cage that he told him that The Patriarchy would turn their backs on him, and they did just that at All In.

Cope says the main reason he came back at All In was to get his hands on FTR, then recalls getting cleared to return to a wrestling ring five years ago. He says the first two people he called when he found out were Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood, then says he knew they could whip him back into shape and recalls talking to them about forming Rated FTR before he was even in AEW. He says Wheeler and Harwood then began to complain that they were in his shadow and holding them back, then says FTR put him on the shelf for four months which he considers to be a lot of time because every time he steps in the ring could be his last. He says he came back to AEW to end FTR.

FTR's music hits, and Stokely Hathaway appears with four security guards to protect himself. Hathaway says Harwood and Wheeler predicted exactly what Cope would do tonight, then says Tony Khan and Warner Media have received three anonymous e-mails about Cope's behavior. He says if Cope comes anywhere near FTR, interferes in their matches, or tries to share their hands, then he will be fired.

Cope responds by telling Hathaway that he never said anything about getting near him. He tells one of the security guards to go after Cope, but Cope quickly clocks him and takes out the other security guard. The two other security guards outside the ring run to the back, and Cope delivers a spear to Hathaway.

Thekla, Queen Aminata, Kris Statlander, and Willow Nightingale then all make their way to the ring. 

The bell rings and Thekla charges at Statlander in the corner. Statlander catches Thekla and connects with a delayed vertical suplex on her. Thekla lands a kick on Statlander's midsection and runs the ropes, but Aminata trips her and delivers a running knee on Statlander. She goes for a pin, but Nightingale catches Statlander with a running senton and forces Aminata to break up the fall. Aminata brawls with Nightingale, but Thekla gets involved. Nightingale sends Thekla crashing into the mat off her shoulders, but Aminata ascends up the ropes. Thekla pushes her off and sends her crashing into the ring apron, then flies to level Nightingale and Statlander on the outside.

Back from the break, Aminata delivers a headbutt to Thekla and sends Statlander crashing into the mat with a neckbreaker. Statlander delivers a kick to Aminata, but Aminata delivers a headbutt to Statlander.

Nightingale fires off forearms on Statlander, but Statlander sends Nightingale crashing into the mat. Aminata lands an Air Raid Crash on Statlander, but Nightingale delivers a Doctor Bomb on Thekla and goes for a pin. Statlander pulls the referee out of the ring to stop the count.

Nightingale and Statlander brawl up the ramp with one another, and Aminata delivers a double stomp to Thekla. She goes for a pin, but Thekla kicks out. Skye Blue storms down to the ring and distracts the referee. Julia Hart sneaks up behind Aminata and spits the black mist into Aminata's eyes, opening the door for Thekla to deliver a Curb Stomp to Aminata for the win.

Winner: Thekla

Toni Storm appears on one of the balconies in the ballroom and gives a victory speech, telling Mercedes Mone that she ate her alive and tasted delicious.

Athena and Billie Starkz appear on the jumbo tron, and Athena puts Storm on notice after securing a future shot at the AEW Women's World Championship. Storm responds by telling Athena that she's ready for her whenever she chooses to cash in her title shot. 

Kazuchika Okada and Don Callis then make their way to the ring. Rafael Quintero is already waiting inside.

The bell rings and Okada lands a boot on Quintero's midsection. He follows it up with a dropkick and the Rain Maker for the win.
