AEW Dynamite Results (10/22/25): Okada Retains Unified Championship, Darby Allin Stands Tall, Mone Embarrassed

All the fallout from the AEW WrestleDream PPV event over the weekend goes down live on this week's episode of AEW Dynamite.
Darby Allin did the unthinkable on at WrestleDream and made Jon Moxley say the words "I Quit." What will Moxley's world look like after uttering the words he said he never would. Can Darby Allin ride that wave of momentum into potential championships matches? How will The Death Riders react to Moxley now that he's lost to Allin?
At WrestleDream, Bandido pinned the AEW Unified Champion -- Kazuchika Okada -- to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships for his Brodido team. Because of that, Bandido will get a shot at Okada's gold on this week's episode of Dynamite. Can Bandido secure a second championship in AEW?
