Heroes vs. Villans six-man, Ospreay & Swerve tag team match added to AEW Dynamite 300

Posted on by Bryan Rose

A Heroes vs. Villains six-man tag has been booked for AEW Dynamite.

Tony Khan announced Tuesday afternoon that Bandido will team with Kyle O’Reilly and Roderick Strong to take on Konosuke Takeshita and The Young Bucks. The match will be presented by the new Superman film that releases in theatres on July 11.

Bandido has been making waves in CMLL as of late, defeating Mascara Dorada to retain the ROH Championship and even pinned Mistico in a tag team match. This past Friday, he was defeated by Mistico in a singles match. He will next defend the title against Takeshita at Supercard of Honor, which will also take place July 11.

The Young Bucks have embroiled themselves in a feud with Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland, the latter of which have issued a challenge for All In with The Young Bucks’ EVP status on the line.

Tony Khan announced later in the night that Ospreay and Strickland will team together to take on Dralistico and The Beast Mortos. This is also being billed as a Heroes vs. Villans match presented by Superman.

It’s time for the Sunday feel-good edition of Wrestling Observer Live with guest host Josh Nason, filling in for Andrew Zarian on the final June weekend of 2025.

As expected, he leads off with a look at Saturday’s WWE Night of Champions which saw John Cena defeat CM Punk who had a hell of a weekend in Saudi Arabia. Josh talks about his new column on Punk and his thoughts on the whole situation.

He then tries to plot out Cena’s final 16 dates as an active wrestler in WWE which, like his social life in high school, proved to be a bit more difficult than he thought.

He also looks ahead to a sparse card for AEW Dynamite 300 and Collision 100, TNA getting some new dates, and thoughts on the changing media landscape with the news from SiriusXM and Kevin Iole.

All that and more awaits. Listening is your friend so check it out below OR for free on Spotify or Apple Podcasts via the Wrestling Observer feed.

Okada vs. Ibushi part of AEW Dynamite 300 lineup

Posted on by Ethan Renner

An old NJPW rivalry will be renewed at AEW Dynamite’s 300th episode next week.

Career rivals Kazuchika Okada and Kota Ibushi going one-on-one has been announced as part of the Wednesday, July 2 AEW Dynamite 300 lineup.

Ibushi made his in-ring return in AEW on this week’s Dynamite, defeating Trent Beretta of The Don Callis Family. Okada has aligned himself with Callis ahead of his battle with Ibushi’s Golden Lovers partner Kenny Omega scheduled for All In on July 12. Okada confronted Ibushi in the ring after his victory, and the match was set for next week.

The last time Okada and Ibushi wrestled was in the G1 finals in 2021, a match stopped early after Ibushi suffered a catastrophic shoulder injury. Okada was awarded the win via referee stoppage. Ibushi had defeated Okada in their two prior G1 meetings in 2019 and 2020, and Okada defeated Ibushi in the Wrestle Kingdom 14 night one main event in 2020.

A TBS title match is also set for next week, with Mercedes Mone defending against Mina Shirakawa. Mone will challenge Shirakawa’s ally Toni Storm for the AEW Women’s World title at All In on July 12.

Mark Briscoe claimed the first spot in the All In Casino Gauntlet match with a victory on this week’s Dynamite, and MJF will wrestle in a Casino Gauntlet qualifier on next week’s Dynamite 300.
