AEW has officially revealed the date and location for its upcoming Dynasty pay-per-view event. The show is set to take place on Sunday, April 6th, 2025, at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, marking AEW’s first-ever pay-per-view in the state of Pennsylvania.
Kenny Omega is set to defend his AEW International Championship at the upcoming Dynasty event, scheduled for April 6, 2025, at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, marking AEW’s first Pennsylvania pay-per-view. Omega’s title defense was set in motion after his AEW Revolution victory over Konosuke Takeshita, prompting Tony Khan to announce an Eliminator Tournament to determine his challenger. “Speedball” Mike Bailey, Ricochet, Orange Cassidy, and Mark Davis emerged as the finalists.
On the March 19th episode, these four competitors clashed in a high-stakes four-way match, with the winner earning a shot at Omega’s championship. The match was a whirlwind of action, culminating in a dramatic simultaneous pinfall by Bailey and Ricochet on Davis. The referee, acknowledging the double pin, declared that both Bailey and Ricochet would challenge Omega for the title. Consequently, the commentary team confirmed that Omega would defend his championship in a triple threat match against Bailey and Ricochet at AEW Dynasty.
The Liacouras Center, located on the campus of Temple University, has hosted several AEW events in the past, including highly regarded episodes of Dynamite and Rampage, building a strong relationship between the company and the city’s passionate wrestling fanbase.
