AEW Dynamite Results 4/9 - The Death Riders Square Off With Samoa Joe & HOOK, Women's Owen Hart Cup Continues

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "AEW Dynamite" on April 9, 2025, coming to you live from the Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena in Baltimore, Maryland!

The next person to advance in the 2025 Women's Owen Hart Cup Tournament will be revealed tonight as Kris Statlander collides with Thunder Rosa in a Quarterfinals Match for the Women's Owen Hart Cup Tournament as AEW Women's World Champion Toni Storm watches the action from a front row seat at the commentary desk. TBS Champion Mercedes Mone secured her spot in the semifinals of the Women's Owen Hart Cup Tournament at Dynasty when she defeated Julia Hart in a non title Quarterfinals match.

PAC will be returning to action on "Dynamite" as he goes one-on-one with Swerve Strickland, while his Death Riders stablemates Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli will be joining forces as they square off with The Opps' Samoa Joe and HOOK. Not only did PAC, Yuta, and Castagnoli retain the AEW World Trios Championship against Cope and FTR at Sunday's pay-per-view event, but all six men encountered one another at Sunday's pay-per-view event. Joe, Hook, and Katsuyori Shibata ran down to the ring to provide "Hangman" Adam Page with a hand when Castagnoli, Yuta, and PAC attacked him on the entrance ramp during the AEW World Championship match between Jon Moxley and Swerve Strickland. Strickland ultimately proved unsuccessful in being unable to dethrone Moxley as the titleholder thanks to the return of The Young Bucks in the closing moments of the bout.

We are live! The show kicks off with a message from Jon Moxley and the rest of The Death Riders after the events of Dynasty this past Sunday.

Excalibur, Taz, and Tony Schiavone greet audiences at home as Jon Moxley and Marina Shafir make their way out to the ring.

The bell rings and the two lock up. They take turns wearing each other with submission holds, then fire off chops on one another. Moxley lands a boot on the side of Shibata's face, but Shibata sends Moxley crashing into the mat with a driver and wears him down with a submission hold. Shibata delivers a boot to Moxley and fires off forearms on him, then connects with a dropkick on him. Moxley levels Shibata with a clothesline, then cinches in a Bulldog Chokeon Shibata. Shibata fades.

Winner: Jon Moxley

After the match, The Young Bucks' music hits and they make their way out to the ring. Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson stare down Shafir and Moxley in the ring. Moxley and Shafir leave ringside as Nicholas Jackson addresses the question as to why he and Matthew cost Swerve Strickland the AEW World Championship. Nicholas says they did it for "Hangman" Adam Page and says it was what he wanted all along since he didn't want Strickland to be the AEW World Champion. He says himself and Matthew don't forget who their friends are.

Matthew says what he and Nicholas did was a peace offering to The Death Riders, then says while they were sitting at home, they realized how much they had in common with The Death Riders due to their shared goals. He tells The Death Riders to imagine if they joined forces with him and invites Moxley to come back out to ringside.

Kenny Omega's music hits and he makes his way out. He says The Young Bucks forgot about him in the conversation about friends, then says he never forgot and forgave The Young Bucks. He says when he returned, he said he would do what he had to for his legacy and the sake of AEW. He says he used to have a friend in high school with two yappy dogs, then says his friend never cared when the dogs would take a dookie on the floor when he was over. He says as the dookie piled up, he had to tell his friend they should hang out at his place and that same sentiment applies to The Young Bucks.

Omega says everyone knows how Matthew and Nicholas live and operate with the money they have, then says the time off that The Young Bucks have has done them well. He proposes cutting out the middle man and fighting with The Young Bucks, then looks to get in the ring with them.

Kazuchika Okada's music hits and he makes his way out. He sides with The Young Bucks, but Swerve Strickland's music hits and he slides in the ring with a chair in hand. The Young Bucks and Okada retreat, with Omega and Strickland staring each other down before Omega heads to the back.

Strickland looks to speak, but PAC blindsides him from behind. 

The bell rings and Strickland sends PAC crashing into the top turnbuckle. He sends him crashing into opposite barricades on the outside, then dumps him back in the ring. PAC looks to land a hurricanrana on Strickland, but Strickland catches him and hits a Buckle Bomb on him. He stomps on his throat, but PAC grabs his Achilles tendon/ankle. Strickland lands a superkick on PAC when he gets back in the ring and follows it up with the Swerve Stomp for the win.

Winner: Swerve Strickland

We then head backstage, where Prince Nana looks to tell "Hangman" Adam Page something. Page cuts him off and tells him he doesn't get to say another word. 

Back at ringside, Will Ospreay, Kevin Knight, "Speedball" Mike Bailey, Mark Briscoe, Ricochet, CRU, and The Beast Mortos all make their way out.

The Hurt Syndicate then make their way down to the ring.

MVP hands Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin a bottle each and proposes a toast for another successful defense of the AEW World Tag Team Championship, but MJF's music hits and he makes his way out.

MJF stands next to Benjamin, acting like part of The Hurt Syndicate as Lashley glares at him. He says this couldn't have come at a better time considering Tony Khan wanted MJF to participate in the 2025 Men's Owen Hart Cup Tournament. He says he gets to cut the line now that he's part of The Hurt Syndicate in order to get the AEW World Championship back, and now that he helped The Hurt Syndicate retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship, they get to help him.

Lashley tells MJF to shut up and says everyone saw what he did last weekend when he was the one to cut Big Bill in half and get the job done. Lashley and MJF begin to argue, but MVP and Benjamin break things up. MVP says if MJF wants to join The Hurt Syndicate, then he needs to get three thumbs up. MVP gives his thumbs up, but Benjamin puts his thumbs down.

Toni Storm then makes her way down to the ring to join the commentary desk along with Luther. Thunder Rosa and Kris Statlander follow. 

The bell rings and the two lock up. Statlander lands a chop on Rosa, but Rosa lands a roundhouse kick on her head. Rosa dropkicks Statlander out of the ring through the bottom rope, then lands a senton off the ring apron and dumps her back in the ring.

Back from the break, Rosa lands a hurricanrana on Statlander and delivers a suplex on her. She wears her down with a submission hold, but Statlander sends Rosa crashing into the mat with a sit-out powerbomb. Rosa connects with a Canadian Destroyer on Statlander, then connects with a dropkick on ehr and goes for a pin. Statlander kicks out. Rosa slaps Statlander, but Statlander levels Rosa with a clothesline and follows it up with Stat-urday Night Fever for the win.

Winner: Kris Statlander

Chris Jericho then makes his way down to the ring.

Jericho introduces himself and says he's no longer the Ring of Honor World Championship. He says he lost his title and tooth at Dynasty, then congratulates Bandido for being able to pull off a win over him. He says Bandido may have his family, but he has his and introduces Bryan Keith and Big Bill. Both men make their way out to the ring.

Jericho says he hoped Keith and Bill became the AEW World Tag Team Champions at Dynasty. Bill stops Jericho and says Jericho has every right to be angry as he is too. He says he's been getting real angry as of late, then says Jericho is one of the greatest of all time and a decorated performer. He says he decided to join Jericho for that reason, but he didn't sign up to be Jericho's punching bag when things go wrong. He says Jericho is welcome to teach Keith and him something, but not to berate them publicly as he will leave the ring alongside Keith.

Jericho asks Keith if he feels the same way, and says he didn't bring either man out to the ring to berate them. He says he believes in Bill and Keith, then says he cares about both of them and handpicked them to stand by him. He says Bill and Keith have potential to be future World Champions, then says their victories and failures are also his victories and failures. Jericho says Bill wasn't there for him in his match at Dynasty and some might say it was his fault he lost the title, but he doesn't believe that at all. He says he's not angry and just disappointed.

Jericho repeats that he's not angry and just disappointed as he smashes the television in the ring. He says until Bil and Keith make a change, it's best that he leaves.

Back from the break, we see Jericho use his bat to smash some things outside the arena. He gets inside a car and leaves the arena. 

Back at ringside, The Death Riders make their way out to the ring. The Opps follow.

Wheeler Yuta and Samoa Joe begin the action. The bell rings and the two lock up. They lock up, but Claudio Castagnoli and HOOK tag in. HOOK lands a series of German suplexes on HOOK, then tags in Joe. Joe fires off chops on Yuta and lands an elbow drop on Joe, then tags HOOK back in.

Back from the break, Yuta lands an Angle Slam on HOOK. Castagnoli tags in and HOOK lands a suplex on him that sends him crashing into the bottom turnbuckle, but Yuta tags in and sends Joe crashing off the apron. HOOK lands a suplex on Joe, but Castagnoli tags in and delivers an uppercut to HOOK. Yuta tags in and The Death Riders double team on HOOK.

Jon Moxley hops up on the apron and grabs a chair. Katsuyori Shibata cinches in a sleeper on Moxley as HOOK sinches in Redrum on Yuta and Joe locks in the Coquina Clutch on Castagnoli on the outside. Yuta taps out.

Winners: The Opps

After the match, Marina Shafir appears in the ring and hits a chop block on Joe using the chair. Castagnoli then delivers a Neutralizer on HOOK using the chair, but Joe slides in the ring with a chair in hand. The Death Riders retreat through the crowd as Joe fumes in the ring and grabs a microphone. Joe says The Opps came to Baltimore to get in a fist fight, but The Death Riders chose to retreat rather than fight. He challenges The Death Riders to a match for the AEW World Trios Championship on behalf of The Opps as the show goes off the air.
