AEW Dynamite Preview (11/5/25) – Hangman Adam Page and Partners Take on The Opps

An eventful week post-WrestleDream saw big moments and angles of AEW Dynamite and AEW Collision. From blistering lucha action to clarity and a graphic confirming the line-up for the women’s Blood and Guts match. Announcements for this week’s Dynamite have been sparse so far.

There are just two confirmed matches at the time of writing. Yet the potential for each is significant. Packed with characters with clear motivation, storyline history, and room for future possibilities in each division ahead of Full Gear, AEW serves steak. Garnish will be added in the subsequent days.

Expect Wednesday to be lit like a fuse.

AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions Tournament Quarterfinal Action  

Fresh from her CMLL Women’s World Championship defence on Collision, Mercedes Mone chases more gold Wednesday night. To accuse Ultimo Mone of taking things easy with her multiple champions and defences across the global indies only shows the hate and jealousy. At some point, fans expect the hate and jealousy between the TBS champion and her partner for Wednesday, the Forever ROH World Women’s champion, Athena.

Although the two champions teamed together and won, the underlying animosity was obvious. There’s no reason Mone and Athena could not go all the way with their collective prowess and expertise. It all depends on how/if AEW wants to delay the inevitable rematch between two of their most dominant and protected female stars.

Opposing them are two of AEW’s cheeriest and most beloved babyfaces, Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron. Each has an extensive history with Mone. Nightingale was the woman who broke Mone’s leg. In turn, Mone took from Nightingale the TBS Championship. Nightingale and Athena are not strangers to each other either. The pair have battled for the ROH Women’s World Championship.

Harley Cameron faced Mone at Grand Slam Australia, teamed with Mone, and irritated the belt collector with a hand up Puppet Mone’s backside. Until now, Mone has always had the last laugh. Is it time for Nightingale and Cameron to have their moment?

Hangman Adam Page vs. The Opps

Speaking of mimicry, Hangman Adam Page’s brilliant Halloween disguise as phantom Tony Schiavone (even down to the voice!) saw the Cowboy smash a bottle over Samoa Joe’s head. Determined to make Samoa Joe’s life hell, Page gets the opportunity to punish Joe between the bell in trios action.

In an AEW special, Page will find himself teaming with two contrasting figures. However, the New York tag team of Hook and Eddie Kingston shares more than Page’s ornery natures. They also have had recent issues with Samoa Joe. On Wednesday, Hook tapped out to Samoa Joe. The former FTW champion, a former Opps member, felt shafted by Joe earlier this year after an injury. The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil will grapple for revenge.

This is Kingston’s first appearance and match on Dynamite since his return at All Out. Teaming with Hook, for some fans, has felt underwhelming, given the anticipation and love fans have for the Mad King. Here’s hoping that a strong performance and a potential storyline for Kingston to sink his teeth into. Since returning, fans have been waiting for Kingston to get personal with someone.
