AEW Dynamite - Beach Break 2025 - Day 1

Beach Break Showdown: Moxley Battles Joe in a Steel Cage!

As the excitement builds for AEW Dynamite's Beach Break 2025, fans are anticipating a night filled with action and intense rivalries. Set to take place on May 14th at the NOW Arena in Hoffman Estates, Illinois, this event features several key matches that could change the course of the AEW landscape. The main event sees AEW World Champion Jon Moxley defending his title against the formidable Samoa Joe in a steel cage match, promising to be an explosive clash of titans. Also on the card are high-flying encounters and a thrilling Women's Title Eliminator than can define careers.

Singles Match: Zach Gowen vs. Ricochet

This match has been heating up since Ricochet brutally attacked Zach Gowen and stole his prosthetic leg in a shocking segment on AEW Collision. Gowen, who has proven his resilience in the ring despite immense adversity, looks eager to settle the score. Ricochet is riding a wave of confidence after his recent victory, but his actions have left him with a lot of heat from the fans, especially after he took it too far by assaulting Gowen in front of the audience. Despite a thrilling win against Angelico where he showcased his incredible agility, Ricochet may have underestimated Gowen’s determination. If Gowen can pull off the win, it would solidify his return to the spotlight, while Ricochet has much to lose if he fails to dominate.
Will Ricochet's arrogance cost him, or will he prove that he's still the high-flyer to beat?

AEW Women's World Title Eliminator: Four Way Match

In a high-stakes encounter, Toni Storm faces off against AZM, Mina Shirakawa, and Skye Blue. Storm continues her reign of dominance, although recent bouts have shown that she isn’t invincible. AZM has been on fire, proving herself with impressive displays, particularly in the previous four-way elimination where she held her own against powerful challengers. Mina Shirakawa has been a wildcard, demonstrating her will to climb the ranks, while Skye Blue, after a warm reception, looks to push forward her momentum after a comeback. With immense talent colliding, this match promises both suspense and dazzling athleticism. Each wrestler has a personal desire to capture the AEW Women’s World Title, and a victory here could set up a major title match at Double or Nothing. How will the dynamics between these four unfold, and which competitor will come out on top?

Tag Team Match: Adam Page & Will Ospreay vs. The Don Callis Family (Josh Alexander & Konosuke Takeshita)

The tension surrounding this tag match has been palpable, especially after the recent confrontations. The bond between Adam Page and Will Ospreay has become stronger, and they enter this match with a shared goal: to dismantle the Callis Family’s impact in AEW. Alexander and Takeshita have been eyeing tag team gold, and with Callis backing them, they have heightened intimidation levels. Both teams involve top-tier athletes, and their contrasting styles will make for an unpredictable and thrilling showdown. A victory for Page and Ospreay will not only boost their standing but also continue the momentum leading into Double or Nothing. Will the teamwork shine through, or will the Callis Family prevail with their nefarious tactics?

AEW World Title Steel Cage Match: Jon Moxley (c) vs. Samoa Joe

The main event is a ruthless steel cage encounter that promises brutality. Moxley, known for his willingness to take violence to its peak, faces off against Samoa Joe, a powerhouse seeking redemption after years of battling the odds. After a productive promo segment where Moxley discussed his trials and tribulations, it's clear he thrives in a chaotic atmosphere. Joe, however, possesses a unique advantage; not only is he a psychological warfare expert, but he thrives in situations that require resilience and toughness. The steel cage adds another layer of strategy: it prevents outside interference giving both competitors the opportunity to leave everything in the ring. Will Moxley triumph and solidify his reign, or will Joe reclaim his spot at the top? The stakes are at an all-time high!

As Beach Break approaches, the stage is set for an unforgettable night of action. Each match intertwines with noteworthy storylines that shape the future of AEW. The outcomes may lead to new feuds and alliances, while also paving the way towards the highly anticipated Double or Nothing.
