Tonight's episode of AEW Dynamite (April 30, 2025) takes place at the Chartway Arena in Norfolk, Virginia and will air starting at 8 p.m. on TBS.
This post will be updated throughout the evening to reflect live coverage of all the important information, noteworthy things that transpire, winners for all the match results, recaps of promo/talking segments and more. Keep refreshing for the most up-to-date results!
Preview & Predictions for AEW Dynamite:
On tap for tonight's episode, we'll be hearing from both MJF and The Hurt Syndicate. In all likelihood, while they're advertised as separate things, it's probably going to be the same segment, with Maxwell Jacob Friedman continuing to try to win over Bobby Lashley so he, Shelton Benjamin, and MVP allow him to join the group. Like every other week, it will most likely also end with him getting rejected.
"Timeless" Toni Storm issued an open challenge, which has been answered by Miyu Yamashita. Since this is an eliminator match, Yamashita does have a chance to win to earn a future title opportunity, but with zero build and others in the mix, it's a safer bet to assume Storm simply wins and that's it.
"Hangman" Adam Page and Kyle Fletcher will battle it out for the semifinals of the Owen Hart Cup. The winner goes on to face Will Ospreay at Double or Nothing. Both could win, but Fletcher has more history with Ospreay. Does Tony Khan go with running that back, or the more interesting route of Page vs. Ospreay?
Lastly, there will be an "All Star 8-Man Tag Team Match" featuring Kenny Omega, Kevin Knight, "Speedball" Mike Bailey, and Mark Briscoe against Kazuchika Okada, The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) and Ricochet. As Swerve Strickland hasn't been announced for anything yet and has been involved with The Young Bucks as of late, don't be shocked if he gets involved here.
Strangely, once again, The Death Riders are not part of the advertised material, nor are The Opps, nor FTR. Both stories should continue, so it's odd not to mention them, but it would be even stranger if they aren't on the show at all.
Here are your results for AEW Dynamite April 30, 2025:
- All Star 8-Man Tag Team Match: The Elite (Kazuchika Okada and The Young Bucks - Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) and Ricochet defeated Kenny Omega, Mark Briscoe, Kevin Knight and "Speedball" Mike Bailey by pinfall.

- The Hurt Syndicate once again turned down MJF with a no-vote from Bobby Lashley.
- Men's Owen Hart Cup Tournament Semifinal Match: "Hangman" Adam Page defeated Kyle Fletcher by pinfall.
