AEW Dynamite Results 3/12 - Kenny Omega And MJF Share Something On Their Minds

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s live coverage for "AEW Dynamite" on March 12, 2025, coming to you live from the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California!

Kenny Omega has had no shortage of issues with Don Callis and the rest of The Don Callis Family over the course of the past several weeks, having joined forces with Will Ospreay to defeat Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita at AEW Grand Slam: Australia on February 15. He then challenged Takeshita for the AEW International Championship this past Sunday at AEW Revolution, and was able to dethrone him as titleholder fighting off Callis in the closing moments of the match to pin Takeshita. With some new gold around his waist, Omega will be sharing something on his mind tonight.

MJF and "Hangman" Adam Page have had no shortage of issues with one another over the past little while, and have become quite familiar with one another in a series of heated verbal exchanges and physical altercations. This led to a match between them at Revolution in Los Angeles, with Page delivering the Dead Eye, Angel's Wings, and Buckshot Lariat to secure the victory. Following such, MJF will be making an appearance on tonight's show in what is sure to be an explosive segment as he stews in the loss.

We are live! Excalibur, Taz, and Tony Schiavone greet audiences at home as Kenny Omega makes his way down to the ring.

She says it was her Hollywood Ending at Revolution, and while a chunk of her heart may be gone forever, it's time for a new beginning for her.

The Hurt Syndicate's music hits, and MVP makes his way down to the ring. MVP and MJF hug, and MJF asks MVP how he's been doing. MVP says he's been doing well, then says he has a few things to tell MJF. MVP recalls seeing MJF on the independent scene and thinking that he'd be a huge star, then says MJF told him even back then that he'd be a main event World Champion. He says he's proud of MJF, but questions why he's whining to the people about losing to Page. He says no one in the back fears MJF, but they do fear The Hurt Syndicate.

MVP says he was able to help MJF once before, and while he was initially trying to recruit people at first, championships now go where The Hurt Syndicate go. He offers MJF his business card, but MJF pushes it away and says while he respects MVP, he's not the same person he was all those years ago.
