Daniel Garcia says Darby's tactics do not work on them, and that Darby lacks structure and lives meaninglessly. Garcia calls The Death Riders his own Mount Everest and says he would rather die than end up like Darby. PAC says they and Darby are different, and that The Death Riders refuse mediocrity and pledge to be their best. He says Darby is a piece of crap who paints his faith and relies on props to achieve anything, and that he not only craves relevance and embarrasses the business, he made a mistake sticking his nose in their business for the last time. PAC then says they will not be held responsible for what happens next. Jon Moxley shows up and promises that the next time he sees Darby, Darby will get his face smashed in.

Dynamite 300 - Dynamite recap for July 2, 2025

"Hangman" Adam Page heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Hangman says he has said plenty about how much his World Championship match and how much AEW means to him, and that he made a promise that at All In Texas, he would win the World Championship and show it for the whole world to see. He says that one can wrap a chain around his neck and hang him from the sky, but you would have to kill him to make him pass this opportunity by, and that he will not let anyone get in his way of the title. He knows that The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) and The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta, Marina Shafir) are coming and that he welcomes them, then tells Jon Moxley to give him everything or give him death, as their match will be a Texas Death Match. Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir head to the ring, and Moxley sees this as Hangman putting all of his chips - his life, health and career - all on the line and all on the table with the AEW World Championship up for grabs. Moxley refuses to go along with this, saying that Hangman does not want this as he is going to lose simply because he does not want to win and he is happy right where he is. He says that Hangman only won the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament because it was not the highest peak, then says that he lives in pressure. Moxley says he is more than the best in the world and the AEW World Championship and that he will show that at All In Texas and show exactly what he is, stating that Hangman does not have what it takes to beat him for the AEW World Championship. He also states that Moxley does not have what it takes to beat him in a Texas Death Match, much less what it takes to walk away from one. Hangman smacks Moxley, and when Moxley strikes back, Hangman produces a fork. Wheeler Yuta gets smacked when he confronts Hangman, and when Marina Shafir hits Hangman with the briefcase and slaps him multiple times, Hangman withstands everything. Yuta grabs Hangman's angle as Hangman makes Shafir slowly back off, and Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli gang up on Hangman as Moxley and Shafir retreat. Claudio soon hits Hangman with the Neutralizer, then Claudio and Yuta join Shafir and Moxley as Hangman rips his shirt off and grabs the microphone. Hangman asks Moxley if this is the best he has, as he is still standing. He also calls Claudio a bitch and a lap dog, and an incensed Claudio heads back towards the ring only to run into Samoa Joe. Claudio teases jumping the barricade with Wheeler Yuta, but Powerhouse Hobbs and "The Wrestler" Katsuyori Shibata show up and join Samoa Joe. Shafir then shows up behind Hangman with the briefcase, but Hangman sees her coming. Hangman hands the briefcase back to Shafir, then walks away before telling Moxley that he will do anything that it takes before hitting Shafir with a Buckshot Lariat.

Mercedes Moné retains the TBS Championship against Mina Shirakawa with an inside cradle. After the match, Mercedes attacks Mina from behind. When "Timeless" Toni Storm checks on Mina, Mercedes hits her in the back of the head with the TBS Championship before licking the cake near Toni's steak dinner and tossing champagne at Luther.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Matthew Jackson surprises Nicholas Jackson with a "Founding Fathers" limousine full of Nike sneakers in the back seat. They then take a tour of the local area in the limo. They check out Rancha Cucamonga, California and reminisce on some memories. After the commercial break, The Young Bucks look at more of Rancho Cucamonga and meet with some old friends before getting back in the limo.

MJF beats AR Fox, Brody King and Anthony Bowens in a Fatal 4-Way Match to enter the Men's Casino Gauntlet at #2 after making AR Fox submit to Salt of the Earth with a leg catch. After the match, Mark Briscoe shows up in a tanktop with the words "MJF has a tiny (kosher) pickle" on it and congratulates MJF, then tells MJF he has guaranteed himself an uninterrupted ass whupping at All In Texas. After the fans chant "Kosher Pickle" at MJF, Briscoe tells MJF that his "blue collar bitch" has ensured him an ass whupping, then says that he is two steps ahead, and dares MJF to have a face-to-face meeting with him in the ring minus The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley). After Mark Briscoe leaves, "Speedball" Mike Bailey and "The Jet" Kevin Night show up and fight Shelton and Lashley, but Shelton and Lashley get the upper hand. Speedball and Knight refuse to stay down, and Shelton and Lashley have to go back to the ring again to ensure they stay down. Knight grabs a microphone and says that he and Speedball are still alive, and says that while Shelton and Lashley may know how to hurt people, they will have to kill them to retain the tag team titles. MVP holds Shelton and Lashley back as Knight wants a one-on-one match with Shelton at Collision.

The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) return to the arena and make their way to the ring.

The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) and "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita beat Paragon (Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong) and Bandido in a Heroes vs. Villains trios match. After the match, Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland show up and attack The Young Bucks, forcing them to retreat. Swerve demands that The Young Bucks accept their challenge from last week. Swerve says that he and Ospreay are not replacing The Young Bucks as EVP's, saying that the position belongs to the fans, and that Tony Khan is who really runs AEW. Will Ospreay then questions The Young Bucks' courage before Matthew says "Hell no," as they get nothing out of the match. Ospreay says that if The Young Bucks win, then he and Swerve cannot challenge for the World Championship for one year. Matthew says this is the smartest thing Ospreay has come up with, but wants to make sure Swerve is on the same page before they have a deal. Swerve reluctantly says they have a deal.

Will Ospreay shows up running to the ring while taping up his wrists, while Swerve Strickland is better prepared.

Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland beat Blake Christian and "Big Shotty" Lee Johnson. During the match, The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson) show up to watch the match from the top of the ramp, which briefly catches Ospreay and Swerve off guard. After the match, The Young Bucks put security guards between them and the team of Swerve and Ospreay. Swerve says he has had it with The Young Bucks, then proposes that he and Ospreay have a match with them at All In Texas. Ospreay also proposes that they up the stakes, and states that the fans, not The Young Bucks, are why AEW exists, and that they are tired of The Young Bucks abusing their power. Ospreay then demands that The Young Bucks' EVP titles be put on the line, then Swerve dives into The Young Bucks and security, which causes The Young Bucks to flee.

Backstage, we hear from The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson), who suspend Swerve Strickland for a week for putting his hands on an AEW official. "The Rainmaker" Kazuchika Okada shows up with Rocky Romero, Trent Beretta and "The Alpha" Konosuke Takeshita, and The Young Bucks want Kota Ibushi to be softened up.

He wonders if "Hangman" Adam Page will seize the moment, then concludes that Hangman will fail to do so.

In backstage footage from earlier today, Renee Paquette interviews AR Fox when Ricochet shows up wanting to team up against "Speedball" Mike Bailey and "The Jet" Kevin Knight, mentioning their history together as well as his mission to find people who have what it takes to help him win championship gold.

"Speedball" Mike Bailey and "The Jet" Kevin Knight beat Ricochet and AR Fox after Ricochet leaves AR Fox high and dry. After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews Speedball and Knight. Speedball says that AEW World Tag Team Championships have been held hostage for too long and that it is time for the titles to be rescued. Knight says that he and Speedball will be the ones to win the titles, and when he makes references to MVP's WWE theme song, he and Speedball are attacked by The Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, MJF). MJF and MVP bring out a table from the back, and Knight is placed on the table before Speedball is choke slammed onto Knight through the table by Lashley. The Hurt Syndicate then head to the ring, and MVP begs for competition for Lashley and Shelton, even stating that he would be all too willing to give Speedball and Knight a shot at the titles on the condition that they can still walk. MVP then takes the microphone and brags about unmasking and beating Mistico before announcing that next week, he will enter a qualifying match for the Casino Gauntlet Match, and when he wins, he will get one step closer to the AEW World Championship. Suddenly, Mark Briscoe shows up and says MJF is taking too long on the microphone and to get out of the ring for his match, but MJF says The Hurt Syndicate does not care because they are stars. He says the fans love Briscoe before they are "dirt ugly and dirt poor" and have as many bills in their pockets as Briscoe has teeth in his mouth, then tells him to go to the back before he loses again and to go back to Delaware. Mark Briscoe says he can see through MJF and says the word of the day is "empathy," then says MJF is trying to compensate for a small penis, saying that if he was MJF and went nearly thirty years with "a teeny tiny kosher pickle in [his] pants," he would want to hang out with The Hurt Syndicate, too. MVP holds MJF back, and says The Hurt Syndicate will watch Briscoe lose from backstage.

There can be no physicality in the ring, or both men will be suspended for the rest of 2023 and their match is off. Adam Page calls Swerve Strickland a coward, a fraud, a phony, a waste of human life and a dumbass for breaking into his house, and that Swerve does not have what it takes to be world champion. He says that Swerve is not the man that he thinks he is and that this is why his fiance left him, and that he surrounds himself with "yes men." He also makes fun of Prince Nana's dance before stating Nana makes his living off Swerve and spends his living off weed from a high schooler before saying he will beat Swerve before beating Nana and stealing his weed. Hangman then says Swerve is a child, not a man, and that like with other children he has taught, he will teach him the biggest lesson of his life and he will be his judge, jury and executioner and send him to Hell. Hangman then punches Prince Nana - who is exempt from the "no physicality" clause - in the face, and security enters the ring only to get decked, with one of the members of security getting a Buckshot Lariat.

Backstage, Lexy Nair interviews Roderick Strong and The Kingdom (Matt Taven and Mike Bennett). Roderick Strong calls Adam Cole and tells him that The Devil that if MJF.

MJF says that his past keeps catching up to him and that the people he has friendships with keep getting hurt, and he apologizes to The Acclaimed for getting caught in the crosshairs in his life and hopes they feel better. He says that he has always wanted to be a world champion and has spent every moment making that a reality, and that he is proud to be on the mountain top of professional wrestling. MJF then says the air at the top is thin and lonely and that everyone coming to the top is coming to shove him off, then admits that he will lose everything and let the fans down like he did Adam Cole. He says the old him would have tucked his tail and ran, but he is done letting his past dictate his present and future, and while he is afraid, he is not willing to quit or give up his spot at the top, and it will take a whole army to take him down. MJF tells Jay White that he has been walking around with a title he has not earned and has a chance to prove it at Full Gear, then says neither Jay White or anyone can do it. He also warns the person who stole his devil mask that he will find out who they are and that there will be hell to pay when he does. Suddenly, Jay White shows up and tells MJF to drop the act because he is embarrassing himself trying to be the hero when he is and always will be the villain, and that MJF is not fooling him when he has said in the past that he is "The Devil." He then says that MJF is not the fans' hero as much as he is "their scumbag" and that the fans will drop him as soon as he means nothing to him, much like the fans mean nothing to him, and that MJF has never really changed. Jay White then says that MJF's days as World Champion are numbered and that MJF knows he is better than him, and at Full Gear, he will bleed. He then sics the rest of Bullet Club Gold ("Rock Hard" Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, Colten Gunn), who pop out of the crowd, at MJF. Bullet Club Gold soon overpower MJF before Jay White hits MJF with Blade Runner before "pinning" MJF with Juice Robinson as the "referee" to end the show as Samoa Joe watches backstage.

Samoa Joe shows up. He didn't know that NXT General Manager William Regal put him in a NXT Championship match against Shinsuke Nakamura until he walked into the building.
