Sports. Honestly. Since 2011

AEW Dynamite Preview (7/16/25) – All In Fallout Speculation

All In Texas saw more history made, but we have no time to enjoy the moment. AEW Dynamite must follow, and more history must be made with AEW’s six-show residency from the Byline Bank Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Illinois.

At the time of writing, there is nothing advertised for the show. No matches. No segments. Only a reflection on Sunday.

Hyperbolic? In many respects, Hangman Adam Page is finding redemption for himself and AEW, which could mark the beginning of a new era.

One that does away with the trauma of CM Punk, that prior company-wide narratives with The Elite and Death Riders refused to move on from. Many of us as fans are now hoping/willing into existence a new high-water mark in AEW history.

Post-All In, some feuds and stories concluded, but others were set up to begin. Plus, there will be curveballs. Things we did not see coming.

So, let’s enjoy the new Feeling in AEW. Let’s speculate and question. How does AEW set the table for Forbidden Door in just over a month and All Out in September after that?

Ignore Sum 41. Give in to your temptation to speculate. It’s part of the fun!

Tears, Justice, and Returning to History

Hangman Adam Page might still be basking in the afterglow of his AEW Men’s World Championship victory. Hopefully, the Anxious Millennial Cowboy has gotten some sleep. However, the men’s casino gauntlet match winner and holder of a future title shot, MJF, cannot hide his disdain and jealousy.

After All In and Page’s emotional press conference, MJF posted the following:

Does MJF have the patience to wait? Also, with The Hurt Syndicate at his back, the numbers are against the AEW World Men’s Champion. Except, there are others with unfinished history with The Hurt Syndicate.

At the post-All In press conference, Page stated that he and Swerve Strickland ruined each other’s lives. Yet, Strickland’s intervention in the Texas Death Match suggests their past is past.

Could we see a team-up? Or does AEW go in a different direction with Page’s first challenger?

With Bang Bang Gang members returning at All In, what about Jay White? The Switchblade has unfinished business with Page and the AEW men’s world championship.

Whatever the focus, here’s hoping that this second reign avoids the pitfall of Page’s first reign, which suffered from the post-chase blues.

Other AEW Championship Directions and Beyond

Dustin Rhodes’ TNT Championship victory was a much-needed and well-deserved moment. The sadness accompanying Adam Cole’s relinquishing of the TNT Championship filled the Globe Life Field with immense sadness. Rhodes, a home-state hero and beloved icon, was the right person on the night to lift that cloud.

Before, this seemed like Kyle Fletcher’s championship to win. How long will Rhodes have to celebrate?

“Timeless” Toni Storm used as many finishers as Mercedes Mone had belts to defeat the CEO. Before this, the Fallen Goddess and Forever ROH World Champion, Athena, won the women’s casino gauntlet match.

Does AEW go for a slow build, teasing a showdown now?  Or get straight to it? Another dream match!
