Wrestle Dynasty 2025 Spoilers

* Considering this is a cross-promotional event where I don't watch 3 of the promotions at all, this is a crap shoot for my predictions. I honestly don't have a clue how almost any of this will shape up. But here we go...

International Women's Cup Final Four-Way Match: Willow Nightingale (AEW) vs. Persephone (CMLL) vs. Athena (ROH) vs. Momo Watanabe (Stardom)

— This is for a title shot, right? Wouldn't that render Athena pretty much moot, since she can't challenge herself? I have no concept of Watanabe's and Persephone's roles, but I'll assume one of them wins, while Willow just has a good showing.

Tag Team Match for the ROH World Tag Team Championship: The Sons of Texas (Dustin Rhodes and Sammy Guevara) (c) vs. House of Torture (Sho and Yoshinobu Kanemaru)

— The Sons of Texas retain.

Singles Match: Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Ricochet

— Zack Sabre Jr. shouldn't lose unless the whole point is to set up a rematch for his title, but I don't think that will be the case. I think he just beats Ricochet.

Singles Match for the NEVER Openweight Championship and the AEW International Championship: Konosuke Takeshita (c - International) or Shingo Takagi (c - Openweight) vs. Tomohiro Ishii

— Konosuke Takeshita feels like the biggest priority, so I'll go with him. Naturally, if he loses at Wrestle Kingdom, then I'll assume it is Takagi retaining here.

Singles Match: Yota Tsuji vs. Jack Perry

— Uh....let's go with Yota Tsuji.

Singles Match: Kenny Omega vs. Gabe Kidd

— Kenny Omega shouldn't lose his return match.

Singles Match: Shota Umino vs. Claudio Castagnoli

— Shota Umino wins so he can get a match against Jon Moxley?

Singles Match: David Finlay vs. Brody King

— David Finlay wins.

Tag Team Match for the Vacant IWGP Tag Team Championship: Great-O-Khan and TBA vs. The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson & Nicholas Jackson)

— I guess this depends on who Great-O-Khan teams with and whether or not The Young Bucks plan on doing more guest spots for New Japan. Since we don't know either of those factors, flip a coin, as both scenarios are entirely believable as an outcome. I'll just say The Young Bucks win.

Winner Takes All Match for the Strong Women's Championship and the Undisputed British Women's Championship: Mercedes Moné (c - Strong) vs. Mina Shirakawa (c - British)

— Considering how she's been basically undefeated and treated like this most important thing in the world, I wouldn't be shocked if Mercedes won and was a triple champion. However, I'm going out on a limb here and assume Shirakawa is staying signed to Stardom and this is a means to put that STRONG title on her to bridge that gap a bit. Maybe I'm dead wrong.

Eight-Man Lucha Gauntlet Match: TBA (4 NJPW wrestlers and 4 CMLL wrestlers)

— Not the slightest clue.
