AEW Dynamite Preview (8/6/25): Start Time, Match Card

The CEO's plans for Forbidden Door will begin taking shape tonight with a four-way qualifier match for a Champion vs. AEW vs. STARDOM vs. CMLL TBS Title four-way match at Forbidden Door London. Alex Windsor, Skye Blue, Queen Aminata, and Billie Starkz will wrestle tonight for a chance to clinch the AEW spot in the TBS title match. The CMLL and STARDOM participants will be determined by their respective promotions.

In tag team action, the Young Bucks will go head-to-head with Brodido (Brody King and ROH World Champion Bandido) in a semifinal match of the World Tag Team Title Eliminator Tournament. The winners will wrestle FTR for the chance to challenge the Hurt Syndicate for the AEW World Tag Team Championships at Forbidden Door London. Will Brodido get closer to their first opportunity at tag team gold, or will the Young Bucks inch towards extending their record to four AEW world tag title reigns?

Speaking of Forbidden Door, with Toni Storm vs. Athena and Kazuchika Okada vs. Swerve Strickland already set in stone and two other matches being determined via tournaments, expect the card for August 24 in the O2 Arena to continue to take shape tonight and over the next few weeks for the AEW X NJPW interpromotional super show.

MJF and Mark Briscoe's one-on-one singles match will finally happen tonight after months of personal attacks and bad blood. Briscoe looks to avenge his family after awful remarks from MJF about his deceased brother, Jay. MJF looks to defeat Briscoe to earn a shot at the AEW World Championship without using his guaranteed contract from winning the men's Casino Gauntlet match at All In Texas. MJF heads into the match as the new CMLL World Light Heavyweight Champion and with the Hurt Syndicate no longer in his corner. Who will emerge victorious in this highly anticipated bout?
