AEW Dynamite Results (5/21/25): Final Double Or Nothing PPV Hype, MJF Signs Hurt Syndicate Contract

Will Ospreay told Adam Page that he wanted the AEW World Championship more than he did. He said that he wanted to return to his home country for Forbidden Door as champion and that he wanted his child to see him win the world championship.

In response, Page said that while Ospreay wanted to win the title, he needed to do it. Page said that he spent countless months wasting away and ignoring family all in the name of retribution. Page said that winning the tournament on Sunday and heading to All In to fight for the championship would be his redemption.

From there, Ospreay and Page both talked about what it would take to actually beat Jon Moxley and neither were fully confident about doing that. In the end, Page and Ospreay shared a beer in the ring before leaving and looking at the Owen Hart Cup Tournament trophy.

Mercedes Mone and Jaime Hayter had a similar encounter with a sit-down interview together in the ring with Renee Paquette. Hayter said that she neeed to prove to herself and the world that she could still fight on a high level. Mone said she was the Beyonce of pro wrestling and that a world title match was essentially her destiny and that she needed it for her legacy.

Mone and Hayter got physical in the ring after Hayter insulted Mone. After the insult, Mone clocked Hayter in the face and the brawl was on. Hayter got the upper hand of the physicality and left Mone lying in the ring to end the segment.
