AEW maintains a festive tradition during the holiday season with its Dynamite Diamond Ring Battle Royal. The 2025 event is set for the Holiday Bash edition of AEW Dynamite in Manchester, England, where AEW National Champion Ricochet and ROH World Champion Bandido have emerged as the final competitors vying for the coveted Dynamite Diamond Ring.
The match saw intense action right from the start, with Brody King and Bandido being taken down early by The Demand, while Ricochet and Gates of Agony were ambushed by Ace Austin. Despite challenges, Max Castor and Anthony Bowens managed to overcome Josh Alexander at Scissor Me Timbers. Ricochet cleverly eliminated Castor after the former AEW World Tag Team Champions attempted a signature move. Following a series of eliminations including Austin, Bowens, Luchasaurus, Shelton Benjamin, and Mark Davis, the competition intensified. Brody King and others faced tough moments, but teamwork and resilience kept the match exciting. Ultimately, after Kaun nearly ousted Bandido, a dramatic series of eliminations left Ricochet and Bandido as the last two standing. These two will clash on December 24th at Hammerstein Ballroom, with the winner earning a title shot for the AEW Men’s World Championship on January 14th, during the Maximum Carnage Dynamite event.
Fan Take: This showdown between two of AEW’s most dynamic champions highlights the exciting future of AEW and raises the stakes for the upcoming championship match. For fans, it promises high-caliber wrestling and intense rivalries that could shape AEW’s competitive landscape for months to come.
