AEW Dynamite rolled into the Fishers Event Center in Fishers, Indiana, on December 3, 2025, for a tightly packed episode built around high-stakes Continental Classic block action, a violent Women’s World Tag Team Tournament semifinal, and a tense face-to-face between AEW World Champion Samoa Joe and Eddie Kingston ahead of Winter Is Coming. Across two hours, the Death Riders were forced to fight each other, Kazuchika Okada clawed his way back into contention, and “Timeless” Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa turned a festive stipulation into bloody momentum on the road to the tournament finals. 

Here are the full results from AEW Dynamite (Dec. 3, 2025)

• Continental Classic Gold League: Kazuchika Okada defeated PAC (Okada moves to 3 points; PAC remains at 3).  
• Continental Classic Gold League: Kyle Fletcher defeated Kevin Knight (Fletcher moves to 6 points; Knight stays at 3).  
• AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship Tournament Semifinal – Hardcore Holiday Death Match: Timeless Love Bombs (“Timeless” Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa) defeated The MegaProblems (Marina Shafir & Megan Bayne).  
• Trios Match – If Dark Order Impress, They Earn a Future Title Shot: The Opps (Katsuyori Shibata, Powerhouse Hobbs & HOOK) defeated Dark Order (Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds & John Silver).  
• Continental Classic Blue League – Main Event: Claudio Castagnoli defeated Jon Moxley (Claudio moves to 6 points; Moxley remains on 3).  

Samoa Joe and Eddie Kingston Set the Tone for Winter Is Coming

The show opened with Tony Schiavone in the ring, quickly shoved aside when AEW World Champion Samoa Joe and challenger Eddie Kingston came face-to-face one week out from their Winter Is Coming title clash. Joe ripped off Schiavone’s wig and cut a venomous promo, calling the fans too stupid to recognize greatness and framing HOOK’s betrayal of Kingston as “education” from the champion’s side of the fence. 

Kingston fired back, saying Joe once embodied fighting spirit but had “sold his soul,” becoming the kind of champion he used to call out. He warned that if the old Joe doesn’t show up in Garland, he’ll “eat him alive.” Kingston walked away without throwing a punch, leaving all the violence saved for next week’s Dynamite: Winter Is Coming. 

It was a strong table-setter: clear stakes, personal resentment, and Kingston once again positioned as the heart-on-sleeve foil to Joe’s contemptuous champion.

Gold League: Kazuchika Okada Rebounds Against PAC

The in-ring action kicked off with Kazuchika Okada vs. PAC in a Continental Classic Gold League bout with big standings implications. PAC entered at 3 points and Okada at 0, making this a must-win scenario for the International Champion. 

They delivered the expected big-match pacing: PAC pressed early with dropkicks and high-impact offense, sending Okada into the barricade and chaining German suplexes and a cutter from the apron. Okada answered with his signature dropkick, piledriver, and heavy strikes, but PAC kept hunting the Brutalizer to finish things. 

In the closing stretch, PAC finally cinched in the Brutalizer—but Okada rolled through, turning the submission into a cradle to steal the three-count. Okada jumps to 3 points while PAC stays at 3, tightening a Gold League that’s quickly becoming a logjam. 

Story-wise, it reinforces Okada as the big-match escape artist who can find a win even when he’s on the brink, while also protecting PAC by having him lose from a dominant position rather than a clean Rainmaker finish.

Kyle Fletcher Edges Kevin Knight in a Battle of Tournament Dark Horses

The second Gold League match pit Kyle Fletcher against Kevin Knight, with both men starting at 3 points and a share of the block lead. What followed was a showcase of two rising stars using the tournament as a coming-out party. 

Knight leaned into his freakish athleticism early—springboard lariats, apron boots, and a top-rope lariat to the floor—before Fletcher, backed conceptually by Don Callis, slowed things down with targeted power offense. As the match escalated, Knight’s explosiveness kept creating near falls, but Fletcher’s size and nastiness ultimately told the story. 

Fletcher scored the win to move to 6 points, taking sole control of Gold League for the moment and strengthening the perception of the Don Callis Family as a tournament powerhouse. Knight remains at 3 points, but the performance keeps him firmly in the conversation as a breakout name. 

Don Callis Family vs. The Elite Escalates

Post-match, Callis escalated the long-running money and betrayal story with The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega. He taunted the Bucks to come collect the cash they earned at Full Gear, drawing out Matt & Nick Jackson, who were soon joined by Jurassic Express and Omega to stand tall in the ring after a brief confrontation as the Callis Family retreated with the money. 

The segment reinforced the idea that the Callis Family not only controls much of the Continental Classic landscape but also continues to orbit the Elite’s ongoing issues, seeding future multi-man clashes and potential title directions heading into 2026.

Hardcore Holiday Death Match: Timeless Love Bombs vs. MegaProblems

The women’s division centerpiece of the night was the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship Tournament semifinal Hardcore Holiday Death Match, as Timeless Love Bombs (“Timeless” Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa) battled The MegaProblems (Megan Bayne & Marina Shafir) for a spot in the finals against the Babes of Wrath. 

Storm and Shirakawa earned the right to choose the stipulation by winning a Four Corners match at Full Gear, and they leaned all the way in to holiday chaos—weapon spots, seasonal props, and violent shortcuts that still played into Storm’s theatrical “Timeless” persona. Bayne’s power and Shafir’s grappling base provided the match’s brutality; the Love Bombs brought the creativity and character. 

After a wild brawl that lived up to the “Death Match” branding without losing the tournament stakes, Timeless Love Bombs scored the pinfall, punching their ticket to the finals. 

Booking-wise, putting Storm & Shirakawa into the championship match is a smart call: Storm is one of AEW’s most over acts, and pairing her with Mina in a high-profile tag title final against Harley Cameron & Willow Nightingale’s Babes of Wrath gives the new championship immediate star power and character contrast.

The Opps vs. Dark Order, Hangman’s Warpath, and the World Title Chase

In trios action, The Opps—AEW World Champion Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata, Powerhouse Hobbs, and HOOK as a unit—were represented by Shibata, Hobbs & HOOK against Dark Order’s Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds, and John Silver. The stipulation: if Dark Order impressed, they’d earn a future World Trios Championship shot. 

Before the match, Dark Order crossed paths backstage with “Hangman” Adam Page, who is still laser-focused on Joe and The Opps. Reynolds pleaded with him not to ruin their opportunity; Page agreed but vowed that once the bell rang, he was coming for blood. 

In the ring, the Opps trio imposed their will—Hobbs’ power, Shibata’s precision strikes, and HOOK’s submission-heavy, disdainful style. Dark Order fought from underneath with their trademark combo offense, but the champions’ stable was too much, and The Opps scored the pinfall victory. 

After the bell, chaos broke loose as Hangman Page hit the ring and launched an all-out assault on The Opps, underlining his unresolved issues with Joe and the group. Later in the night, Page cut a backstage promo promising he’s still coming for the World Championship and will team with Swerve Strickland against Hobbs and Shibata—an uneasy alliance given their violent history, but one that shows just how far Page is willing to go to get back to Joe. 

This thread keeps the AEW World Title scene layered: Joe vs. Kingston is next week’s focus, but Page is clearly being positioned as a looming threat beyond Winter Is Coming.

Blue League Main Event: Claudio Castagnoli Stuns Jon Moxley

The main event saw Death Riders teammates collide as Claudio Castagnoli faced Jon Moxley in a Continental Classic Blue League match with both sitting at 3 points. The story coming in: no friends, no leadership hierarchy—just two violent technicians fighting for block supremacy. 

They delivered a physical, grinding match: snug strikes, big suplexes, and the kind of escalating intensity you expect when stablemates finally throw down for real stakes. Moxley’s brawling and submission attempts clashed with Claudio’s uppercuts, powerbombs, and sheer conditioning. As the clock ticked toward the time limit, it looked like a draw was possible—a result many expected for this kind of matchup. 

Instead, in the closing minutes, Claudio fired up, blitzed Moxley with a running uppercut, and pinned him clean to secure another 3 points and move to 6 in the Blue League, while Moxley remains at 3. 

Booking Claudio this strong does a few things:

• It reinforces the Continental Classic as unpredictable—top stars can lose clean when points are on the line.
• It elevates Castagnoli as a legitimate threat to win the whole tournament.
• It injects potential internal tension into the Death Riders, with their “leader” falling behind in the standings.

As Dynamite went off the air, the image of Claudio standing tall over a battered Moxley was a clear signal: Blue League is wide open, and no one is safe.

Key Announcements and Extra Notes

Beyond the matches, AEW layered in several important future-focused updates:

• Mercedes Moné was interviewed by Renee Paquette, reminding fans of her ROH Final Battle showdown with Red Velvet and confirming that she’ll be in action on the December 4 episode of ROH TV—further bridging AEW and ROH programming around a marquee star.  
• Mark Briscoe appeared in a backstage video asking Tony Khan to make a TNT Championship match between himself and Daniel Garcia official for Collision: Winter Is Coming, tying the TNT division into the broader winter super-card stretch.  
• A special tag match was announced for Cardiff: Jamie Hayter & Kris Statlander vs. Julia Hart & Skye Blue, continuing AEW’s global touring narrative while giving the women’s division another high-profile showcase.  
• FTR and Stokely Hathaway cut a promo on The Bang Bang Gang, keeping their tag title feud simmering and reminding viewers that there’s still plenty of business left in the men’s tag division outside of the women’s tournament and Continental Classic.  

Collectively, these segments made Dynamite feel like a hub episode: not just a night of strong matches, but a connective tissue show that threaded together AEW Dynamite, Collision, ROH TV, Winter Is Coming, Worlds End, and the ongoing Continental Classic.
