AEW Dynamite Simulcast Premiere Show on MAX

Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite Fight for the Fallen 2025 show at the Harrah’s Cherokee Center in Asheville, North Carolina was notable for being Dynamite’s simulcast premiere show on Warner Bros Discovery’s MAX streaming service.

Anthony Bowens Walks Out on The Acclaimed on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite Show

Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite Fight for the Fallen 2025 show also featured Anthony Bowens walking out on The Acclaimed.

Bowens and Max Caster’s split up had been teased over recent weeks shows over their issues with each other not being on the same page as a team and Bowens getting fed up with Caster’s antics and him considering joining the Hurt Syndicate.

During tonight’s show, The Acclaimed were seen in an insert video during their entrance giving a promo backstage about their match against the Hurt Syndicate only for the two to grow even more divided instead of united as a team instead.

During their match, Bowens eventually had enough of Caster’s match antics and left the ring leaving Caster to deal with the Hurt Syndicate on his own. Bowens watched on as Bobby Lashley quickly dispatched Caster to give Hurt Syndicate the victory and then left to the back instead of checking on his tag partner.

Kenny Omega Dynamite Return Announced for Jan. 8th Dynamite Show

Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite Fight for the Fallen 2025 show also featured a video airing officially announcing Kenny Omega making his return to Dynamite at next week’s show on January 8th at the F&M Bank Arena in Clarksville, Tennessee.

Jeff Jarrett Reveals He Signed Final Wrestling Contract

Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite Fight for the Fallen 2025 show also featured Jeff Jarrett revealing his “big announcement” for the future of his wrestling career.

During the show, Jeff Jarrett was seen backstage in a somber mood with Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, and Satnam Singh talking about how they would all support whatever Jarrett’s decision would be for his career. This led to Karren Jarrett showing up and wanting a word with her husband Jeff for a moment. Karen then handed Jeff his wrestling boots and he headed off to the ring.

In a follow-up segment, Jarrett came out to the ring and grabbed a microphone. Jarrett talked about him being thankful for a lot of things throughout his wrestling career and his family’s history in wrestling. Jarrett also talked about his own road in his wrestling career leading up to tonight. Jarrett raised up his wrestling boots and stated that he has to ask himself if The Last Outlaw has to ride off into the sunset. After a brief pause, Jarrett answered his question stating “hell no!” Jarrett then stated that the thought that keeps going through his mind is “Jeff, when you’ve taken the biggest risks in your life, you’ve gained the biggest reward.”

Jarrett then announced that he recently signed his last ever contract in pro wrestling and resigned with AEW. Jarrett stated that the Last Outlaw wants AEW gold and not any gold but instead the AEW World Championship. Jarrett then officially declared himself for the Casino Gauntlet match and stated his resolution for 2025 is to become the AEW World Champion.
