AEW WrestleDream 2025 - Surprises
AEW WrestleDream 2025 is right around the corner, and excitement across the wrestling world has reached its peak. Known for its shocking twists, emotional moments, and jaw-dropping surprises, AEW WrestleDream 2025 promises to deliver one of the most unpredictable nights in All Elite Wrestling history. From long-awaited comebacks and potential heel turns to championship shake-ups and shocking betrayals, this year’s WrestleDream could redefine AEW’s landscape heading into 2026. Fans are already buzzing about who might show up, who might fall, and which surprise could change the entire course of AEW forever.
AEW WrestleDream 2025 Surprises –
Adam Copeland’s Emotional Return –
After AEW All Out 2025, Adam Copeland disappeared from AEW television following a shocking backstage segment where he revealed that the attack on his wife, Beth Copeland, at the hands of FTR left him mentally broken. He said he didn’t know when he’d return — but in truth, Copeland was taking time off to finish his film schedule. Now that filming is reportedly complete, AEW WrestleDream 2025 could mark his long-awaited comeback.
FTR is booked for the Tailgate Brawl on the pre-show, which might be the setup for Copeland to strike. If AEW wanted a major surprise, this would fit perfectly — imagine Copeland storming in to take out FTR and reigniting his vengeance storyline.
Jay White Teases His Own Comeback –
Another big name potentially returning at WrestleDream 2025 is Jay White. The Switchblade has been sidelined with injury for months, and though reports suggested he re-aggravated it, recent buzz hints otherwise. White tweeted a cryptic “?” days before the pay-per-view, fueling speculation that he could show up in Seattle. Neither White nor the Bang Bang Gang is booked for the event, which only adds to the mystery. If Jay White does return, it could instantly set up a new rivalry or re-ignite his feud with Swerve Strickland or even Kenny Omega down the line.
A New Member Joins the Hurt Syndicate –
The Hurt Syndicate — Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, and MVP — have been locked in a fierce rivalry with Ricochet and the Gates of Agony. After trading wins at All Out 2025 and Title Tuesday, the two trios will collide once again at AEW WrestleDream 2025. Rumors suggest the Hurt Syndicate could expand, and one name stands out — former Hurt Business member Cedric Alexander. With reports claiming his TNA deal has expired, Alexander’s AEW debut could be imminent. If the Hurt Syndicate loses, a post-match beatdown followed by Alexander’s shocking arrival would be the perfect twist to end the feud.
Buddy Matthews Returns to AEW –
Buddy Matthews has been out of action due to injury, leaving his partner Brody King to tag with Bandido. If King’s frustrations erupt at WrestleDream 2025, it could open the door for Matthews’ return. With his recovery nearly complete, AEW could use this moment to bring back the House of Black’s enforcer. A returning Buddy Matthews saving or confronting King would be a major surprise that fuels new storylines for the remainder of 2025.
Tag Team Breakup Looming: BroDido vs. Don Callis Family –
The AEW Tag Team Championships are set to be defended as BroDido (Brody King & Bandido) take on the Don Callis Family’s Kazuchika Okada & Konosuke Takeshita. Despite their unlikely chemistry, BroDido has thrived as champions. Meanwhile, tensions between Okada and Takeshita have been building for weeks. If BroDido retains, the Don Callis Family could implode — with Okada or Takeshita turning on the other.
However, if Okada & Takeshita somehow capture the gold, Brody King’s frustration could boil over, leading him to attack Bandido in fury. Either way, this match might end with a shocking tag-team breakup that reshapes AEW’s tag division.
Timeless Toni Storm Turns Heel –
“Timeless” Toni Storm has spent most of her AEW career as a fan favorite despite starting as a heel. Her recent loss to Kris Statlander has thrown her confidence into chaos. Now, she’s chasing the AEW Women’s World Title again, but with hints that she may resort to underhanded tactics. Statlander has vowed to win fair and square, but Storm seems torn. If Storm cheats to win at AEW WrestleDream 2025, it could mark a full return to her darker persona — a heel turn that refreshes her character and opens up new rivalries across the division.
Swerve Strickland’s Triumphant Return –
Swerve Strickland hasn’t been seen since AEW Forbidden Door London 2025, where Kazuchika Okada brutally attacked his leg in a post-match angle. AEW used the injury to give Swerve time off for knee surgery — and now that he’s reportedly in recovery, his return may be near. On the WrestleDream media call, Tony Khan hinted that Swerve’s comeback could happen “sooner rather than later.” AEW WrestleDream 2025 might be the night the former AEW World Champion steps back into the spotlight to confront Okada and reclaim his throne.
Samoa Joe Captures the AEW World Championship –
Hangman Adam Page’s AEW World Championship reign has been incredible since he won the title at All In Texas. But even with stellar defenses, AEW’s ratings and ticket sales have slightly dipped. His next challenger, Samoa Joe, could be the change AEW needs. If AEW decides to freshen up its main-event picture, Joe dethroning Page at AEW WrestleDream 2025 would be shocking yet logical. Though unlikely, it’s still a scenario worth keeping an eye on — one that could completely alter AEW’s direction moving forward.
Jon Moxley Finally Says “I Quit” –
Darby Allin and Jon Moxley’s rivalry has reached a violent peak. After their casket match at All Out 2025, the two will collide again at AEW WrestleDream 2025 in an I Quit Match. Darby’s determination to make Moxley utter those words could lead to one of the most emotional moments in AEW history.
Moxley rarely quits, but if Allin forces him to, it would be a massive upset. This could also pave the way for a shocking betrayal within the Death Riders.
Claudio Castagnoli Turns on Jon Moxley –
The Death Riders have been dominant for over a year with Moxley as their leader. But AEW might be ready for a shake-up. If Moxley loses the I Quit Match, Claudio Castagnoli could turn on him, ending their alliance and taking command of the Death Riders himself. A more ruthless, cold-blooded version of Claudio leading the group would breathe new life into the stable and set up a blockbuster feud between him and Moxley heading toward Full Gear 2025.
From emotional returns and faction betrayals to possible heel turns and title changes, AEW WrestleDream 2025 is stacked with potential surprises that could shape the company’s next era. Whether it’s Adam Copeland’s long-awaited comeback, Jay White’s cryptic tease, or a shocking Samoa Joe title win, AEW fans should brace for an unforgettable night.
