AEW WRESTLEDREAM RESULTS (OCTOBER 18, 2025): ST. LOUIS, MO.
The AEW Saturday Tailgate lead-in to AEW WrestleDream kicks off on TNT live at 7/6c with the commentary team welcoming us inside a jam-packed Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis. We are then directed straight into a video package for the Darby Allin vs. Jon Moxley "I Quit" match scheduled for tonight.
Tony Schiavone, Nigel McGuinness and "Daddy Magic" Matt Menard are on commentary for the Saturday Tailgate Brawl portion of the evening. Roderick Strong & The Conglomeration vs. Death Riders is up first. The Death Riders team of PAC, Daniel Garcia, Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli make their way out accompanied by Marina Shafir.
They settle into the ring and a loud "F**k you, Yuta!" chant breaks out. Their music dies down. The Conglomeration tune plays and out comes Orange Cassidy, Tomohiro Ishii and Kyle O'Reilly. He stops his teammates and runs back to grab Roderick Strong. They all make their way to the ring. It's time to get things started.
A "Freshly Squeezed" chant breaks out and then the bell finally sounds to get things started. It is Garcia and Strong kicking things off for their respective teams at the onset. The two begin trading chops, with Strong getting the better of the exchange. He tags in O'Reilly and the two beat down Garcia and Yuta, when he tries running in.
With Yuta now the legal man for his team, Cassidy tags in for his. After some double-team action with O'Reilly, Cassidy picks up where he left off, controlling the offensive lead for The Conglomeration by taking it to The Death Riders' Yuta. Yuta avoids an atomic drop and counters, shifting the offensive to his favor.
PAC tags in and takes over, bringing some additional punishment to Cassidy as Schiavone talks us into a mid-match commercial break as the action continues. When we return, Ishii is chopping Castagnoli as The Death Rider no-sells every shot and then blasts "The Stone Pitbull" with some of his own.
Yuta tags in and takes over and fans begin chanting "Yuta sucks!" It almost sounded like "CM Punk! CM Punk!" at first. Could you imagine hours of that? Yikes. A much more clear-to-hear "F**k you, Yuta!" chant takes over as Cassidy tags in.
From there, he immediately begins taking back over for his team. After they settle in the offensive lead, we see a few more minutes of action culminating with the finish, which sees The Death Riders team pick up the victory in our opening match when PAC pins Ishii.
Winners: The Death Riders
After the match wraps up, we shift gears and prepare for our second match of the one-hour special leading into tonight's AEW WrestleDream pay-per-view. "The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil" HOOK makes his way out and stops at the top of the stage.
His theme dies down and the entrance tune for his partner, "The Mad King" Eddie Kingston, hits. Out he comes and the two head to the ring for scheduled tag-team action against opponents yet-to-be announced. Their opponents end up being The Frat House. The match lasts all of two or three minutes, with HOOK and Kingston winning.

Out next comes the team of Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford. They head down and settle inside the squared circle for women's tag-team action. Their opponents come out next with individual entrances. First out is Harley Cameron, followed by Willow Nightingale.
Ford and Harley kick things off at the onset for their respective teams at the sound of the bell. Cameron takes the early offensive lead and then tags in Nightingale, who picks up where she left off. Cameron tags back in and the two hit some double-team offense.
As Bayne and Ford take over, the show shifts gears and heads into a mid-match commercial break as the action continues. The show returns and Willow and Harley start taking back over.
