AEW Grand Slam 2025: Match Card Breakdown
MJF vs Mistico
MJF returns to in-ring action for the first time in months as he faces Mexico’s own rising star, Mistico, in a high-stakes singles match. With the home crowd firmly behind him, Mistico gets a golden opportunity to shine—while MJF, representing The Hurt Syndicate, aims to reassert his dominance and elevate AEW’s next breakout star.
Zeuxis vs Mercedes Mone for CMLL Women’s Championship
Mercedes Moné, already known as ‘5 Belt Moné,’ is chasing her sixth championship as she takes on CMLL’s top star, Zeuxis, in a high-stakes showdown. With a blockbuster match against Toni Storm for the AEW Women’s Championship awaiting her at All In, Moné looks to stay undefeated and continue her historic run. For Zeuxis, this is the biggest stage of her career—wrestling in front of a massive home crowd and facing one of the best in the world. As the only women’s match on the card, this bout is expected to get a full 20 minutes and could easily steal the spotlight.
Death Riders and The Young Bucks vs The Opps , Swerve Strickland and Will Osperay
This is AEW’s biggest storyline—and the main event match that sets the stage for All In. Ten of the company’s top stars collide as the Death Riders (AEW World Champion Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta) join forces with The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) to take on The Opps (Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Katsuyori Shibata), along with Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay. Every man in this match is central to AEW’s top-tier narrative, and with plenty of time expected, this bout could steal the night. For fans in Mexico, it’s a high-octane preview of the chaos to come at All In.
Adam Cole, Atlantis Jr, Bandido, Brody King, Daniel Garcia and Templario vs Don Callis Family and FTR
A stacked 12-man tag team match brings together some of AEW’s most promising talents, all eager to break through to the next level. Representing the Don Callis Family are Hechicero, Josh Alexander, Konosuke Takeshita, and Kyle Fletcher, teaming up with FTR’s Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler. Across the ring stand Adam Cole, Atlantis Jr., Bandido, Brody King, Daniel Garcia, and Templario—an eclectic mix of rising stars and established names. If given around 25 minutes, this match has all the ingredients to steal the show and serve as a proving ground for the future faces of AEW.
Masacara Dorada vs Ricochet vs Hologram vs Lio Rush
In a match built for spectacle, four of AEW’s top high-flyers collide in what could be an instant classic. Ricochet, now one of the promotion’s top heels, goes head-to-head with the wildly popular Hologram, the electrifying Lio Rush, and Mexico’s own Mascara Dorada. With Tony Khan intent on spotlighting as many stars as possible, this bout promises non-stop action and breathtaking moments. For Dorada, it’s a golden opportunity to leave a mark on AEW’s international stage, while the others look to steal the show with their unmatched athleticism.
Kazuchika Okada vs Mark Briscoe
The final match on the card sees Kazuchika Okada face Mark Briscoe in a high-stakes singles bout. After Okada’s brutal attack on Kenny Omega—his scheduled opponent at All In—Briscoe steps in to defend his friend’s honor. For Briscoe, it’s a massive opportunity to go toe-to-toe with one of the greatest wrestlers in the world. With Omega expected to be watching closely, don’t be surprised if this match ends in chaos. Okada, meanwhile, gets another platform to deliver a classic.
