Wrestling Inc. has kicked off live coverage of AEW Summer Blockbuster, taking place on June 11, 2025, at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon. The event features a series of exciting matches and storylines, including a highly anticipated clash between Swerve Strickland and Will Ospreay. Tensions have escalated as Ospreay attempts to unite Strickland and “Hangman” Adam Page against Jon Moxley and his faction, The Death Riders, but so far, his efforts have been in vain.
In another match, Tay Melo and Anna Jay, better known as TayJay, will reunite for their first bout since a challenging Street Fight against Ruby Soho and Willow Nightingale in early 2023. They are set to face Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford, who previously met in a No Disqualification Match on May 28, where Jay and Melo emerged victorious. Melo notably came to Jay’s aid during a confrontation with Bayne and Ford at Fyter Fest, adding more depth to this rivalry.
The AEW World Tag Team Champions, Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin, will team up with MJF to take on the trio of Kevin Knight, “Speedball” Mike Bailey, and Komander. This matchup comes after the challengers earned respect from Lashley’s team by defeating La Faccion Ingobernable recently.
A key highlight of the night includes the contract signing between AEW World International Champion Kenny Omega and AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada, officially setting the stage for their Winner Takes All Match at AEW All In on July 12.
Kyle Fletcher aims to continue the momentum for The Don Callis Family with a singles match against Anthony Bowens, who is eager to bounce back after recent losses to top competitors.
Queen Aminata makes her return to AEW, matching up against Thekla, who is also looking to enhance her standing following a recent victory. Meanwhile, TBS Champion Toni Storm will face Julia Hart in a non-title contest, with Mercedes Mone observing from the announce desk after a memorable evening at Fyter Fest.
Additionally, the CMLL star Mistico is rumored to appear, potentially setting up a future match with MJF at AEW Grand Slam: Mexico.
As the show commences, the commentary team, including Excalibur, Taz, and Ian Riccaboni, welcomes viewers and sets the stage for an exciting evening, which is already filled with dramatic confrontations and emerging rivalries. The night promises to bring thrilling action and pivotal moments in AEW’s ongoing storylines.
Overall, AEW continues to build exciting narratives that engage fans, with the potential for surprises that could reshape the wrestling landscape in the coming weeks.
