WrestleDream (2025)
Updated: 12/10/2025, 10:35:13 AM Wikipedia source
The 2025 WrestleDream was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW). It was the third annual WrestleDream and took place on Saturday, October 18, 2025, at the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, Missouri. This was AEW's second PPV event held at the venue, after Dynasty in April 2024, and the first WrestleDream to take place outside of the U.S. state of Washington. The annual event is a memorial for New Japan Pro-Wrestling founder Antonio Inoki, with the 2025 event also honoring St. Louis Wrestling Hall of Famer Lou Thesz and professional wrestling in St. Louis, including legends Harley Race, Larry "The Axe" Hennig, and "Cowboy" Bob Orton Jr.. Thirteen matches were contested at the event, including four on the Tailgate Brawl pre-show. In the main event, Darby Allin defeated Jon Moxley in an "I Quit" match. In other prominent matches, "Hangman" Adam Page defeated Samoa Joe to retain the AEW World Championship, Brodido (Brody King and Bandido) defeated The Don Callis Family (Kazuchika Okada and Konosuke Takeshita) to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship, and Kris Statlander defeated "Timeless" Toni Storm to retain the AEW Women's World Championship. The event also featured the return of Sting.
