AEW returns to PPV on Saturday night with AEW WrestleDream 2025.

The show is anchored with two world championship matches. First, Adam Page will defend his AEW Men's World Championship against Samoa Joe. Joe is a former AEW World Champion, who has said that he doesn't fully buy that Page is "the guy" in AEW. Page will look to change Joe's opinion and retain his title when both men square off.

This week on AEW Dynamite, Page was intstrumental in making sure that Joe made it out of his World Trios Championship mach unscathed. Page clearly respects Joe and wants to beat him when he is at full strength.

In the women's division, the world championship will also be on the line at AEW WrestleDream. Kris Statlander is scheduled to defend her newly won AEW Women's World Championship against former champion, Toni Storm.

Statlander defeated Storm in a fatal four-way match to win the championship at AEW All Out earlier this summer and she swears to hang onto the title in what will be her first defense. As for Storm, she is out of sorts. The Timeless One has stated she doesn't know who she is without the AEW Women's World Championship and will look to right her sorts at WrestleDream.

The other major match on the show is a an "I Quit" Match between Darby Allin and Jon Moxley. Both men have been feuding with one another for most of 2025 and their feud will come to a head on this show.

In their final face-to-face encounter this week on AEW Dynamite, Moxley asked Allin how they were going to get through the match because he didn't think that either one of them would utter the words "I Quit." Moxley worked to get the upper hand and had his Death Riders take Allin out Wednesday night. What kind of shape will Darby Allin be in? Find out at AEW WrestleDream.

-Jon Moxley and Darby Allin both made their entrance to the ring. As soon as they got there, Justin Roberts made official announcements and things were off to the races.

-Darby Allin defeated Jon Moxley in an "I Quit" Match. This was brutally violent from the start. Moxley got most of the offense in on Allin, which included tables, chairs, launching Darby out of the ring and onto the announce table, drowning him in a mini aquarium, and skewers in his finger nails. Throughout all of that Allin didn't quit.

-With The Death Riders helping, Sting made his AEW return to help Allin fight them off.
