AEW Dynamite Results 7/23 - Adam Page Takes On Wheeler Yuta, Toni Storm Collides With Billie Starkz

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "AEW Dynamite" on July 23, 2025, coming to you live from the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Illinois!

Wheeler Yuta looks to seek some retribution on behalf of Jon Moxley tonight as he squares off with current AEW World Champion and archrival of The Death Riders, "Hangman" Adam Page. The two men met in the ring during last Wednesday's edition of "Dynamite" when Page, Mark Briscoe, and one third of the reigning AEW World Trios Champions Powerhouse Hobbs emerged victorious against Yuta, Moxley, and their stablemate Claudio Castagnoli in a Six Man Tag Team Match.

As her ally Athena lurks in the shadows with a contract for a future shot at the AEW Women's World Championship thanks to her victory in the Women's Casino Gauntlet Match at AEW All In, Billie Starkz will be returning to action as she collides with reigning AEW Women's World Champion Athena. This will mark Starkz's first match on "Dynamite" since being able to dethrone Mercedes Mone on March 19, as well as her first time competing in an AEW ring since coming up short to Jamie Hayter on the April 12 episode of "AEW Collision" in a quarterfinals match for the 2025 Women's Owen Hart Cup Tournament.

He says he's been struggling with his neck for 10 months and while usually, medical staff would've put a stop to things right away, he's been keeping everything a secret to get over the finish line. He says he made promises to Swerve Strickland, "Hangman" Adam Page, and the fans to get back the AEW World Championship, then says after The Death Riders attacked him, he found out he had two herniated discs that have gotten into his spinal cord but it is treatable.
