Backstage news items from the 2025 AEW Dynasty PPV event

Here are a few backstage news items from the 2025 AEW Dynasty PPV event via Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com…

* The Young Bucks, who returned at the end of the show, didn’t show up at the venue until around 10:00 PM Eastern. While they weren’t hidden or kept isolated, their late arrival was timed so word wouldn’t spread before the event began.

* Bryan Danielson was backstage working as part of the creative team with Tony Khan. Former WWE/TNA announcer Josh Matthews was also in attendance for the event.

* There were said to have been “constant changes” regarding segments and match order backstage up until the start of the show. The trios championship match’s slot was reportedly changed more than once and the decision to open with Will Ospreay vs. Kevin Knight was not finalized until just before the show started.
