Chris Jericho Challenges Bandido to ROH World Title vs. Mask Match for AEW Dynasty 2025

Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium in St. Paul, Minnesota featured the first of two new potential matches for the card of AEW Dynasty 2025.

This new potential match is a ROH World Championship, Title vs. Mask match of Bandido (mask) vs. Chris Jericho (c).

This potential new match was initially setup over recent weeks shows over Bandido and Jericho’s bad blood issues with each other and Bandido regaining his brother Gravity’s mask back from Jericho. During tonight’s show, The Learning Tree was seen backstage and Jericho talking about Bihg Bill & Bryan Keith needing to prove why they still deserve to learn from under his tree. Jericho then turned his attention towards Bandido and after some words, issued a challenge for a title vs. mask match at Dynasty with him putting his ROH World title on the line in return for Bandido putting his mask on the line.

The Learning Tree Challenges Hurt Syndicate for AEW World Tag Titles at AEW Dynasty 2025

Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show also featured the second of two new potential matches for the card of Dynasty 2025.

This new potential match is an AEW World Tag Team Championship match of The Learning Tree (“Bad Apple” Bryan Keith & Big Bill) vs. The Hurt Syndicate (Shelton Benjamin & Bobby Lashley) (c).

This new potential match was setup following the Learning Tree interrupting the Hurt Syndicate following their segment with MJF over MVP agreeing to let MJF join the group and Lashley being against it. After a war of the words between the two teams that was very one-sided in favor of Hurt Syndicate, Bill issued a challenge to the Hurt Syndicate for the AEW World Tag titles at Dynasty. MVP responded stating that they will consider it only if the Learning Tree earns it by winning a match first.

MJF Accepts Hurt Syndicate Membership Offer But Lashley Rejects It

Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show also featured MJF giving his answer to MVP over his recent offer to join the Hurt Syndicate.

During the show, MJF came out to the ring and after some insults directed at the St. Paul crowd, MJF called out MVP to give his answer. This led to the Hurt Syndicate’s music playing and MVP coming out to the ring. After some friendly talk between the two, MJF stated that he wants to be in the “business of hurting people” and extended his hand for a shake to make it official.

Before MVP could shake to make it official, the Hurt Syndicate’s music played again to interrupt and Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin came out to the ring. Lashley got up into MJF’s face and demanded he handed over the Hurt Syndicate card despite MJF’s protests. Lashley then grabbed the card and proceeded to rip it up. This led to MJF being upset over it and MVP trying to insist that they are cool and that everything is cool. MJF then left the ring angry over what happened.

Rated FTR vs. Death Riders for AEW World Trios Titles Announced for AEW Dynasty 2025

Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite show also featured one new match announced for the card of Dynasty 2025, which takes place on April 6th at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

This new match announced was an AEW World Trios Championship match of Rated FTR (Cope & FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood)) vs. Death Riders (Wheeler Yuta, Claudio Castagnoli, & PAC) (c).

This new match was setup following a sit-down interview segment with Rated FTR talking about their recent issues over Harwood being frustrated about FTR losing sight of the AEW Tag titles and Cope saying he was not trying to take them away from the tag title scene. After some more words, Harwood stated that he and Cash want a shot at the Hurt Syndicate for the AEW Tag titles at Dynasty only for Cope to respond and issuing a challenge to Death Riders for the AEW World Trios titles instead.

In a follow-up segment, the Death Riders were seen backstage and talked about Rated FTR’s challenge earlier. PAC stated that Rated FTR challenging them is not how things work in AEW and instead they challenged Rated FTR to survive against them at Dynasty.

Later in the show, it was announced that this match has been made official for Dynasty.

Current card for AEW Dynasty 2025:

  • AEW World Championship – Swerve Strickland vs. Jon Moxley (c)
