Two out of three falls Match
Hologram defeated “The Beast” Mortos 2-1 (16:40)
Chris/Jey says: In this next match-up the Luchardors of AEW prove to show you why the best wrestle here. This was definitely a Lucha-Tastic match as Hologram defeated “The Beast” Mortos.Formerly going by Black Taurus his performance in the company has been spectacular. I can definitely say the same for his opponent Hologram who remains undefeated. AEW fans are in for a treat as the two Luchardors are going to be future champions in All Elite Wrestling. I would definitely love to see these two superstars run it back again. Not going to lie, I sometimes question why TNA let “The Beast” Mortos go after he was doing some well with them. Nonetheless, it was great seeing “The Beast” Mortos on my screen again.
Tiki says: It was time for the Two out of three falls Luchador sensation match! at least that's what i call it after actually seeing it. Before I continue my short review about it, please watch the match! The Best Mortos has become one of the Fan Favorites of the AEW Fans, with great performances in every match, he deserves a big push in the future. His opponent in this Match is Hologram who is still undefeated since debuting (if i'm not wrong here). If you watch AEW you know that this match will be good and what can i say? It was an amazing match! Hologram was able to defeat the Beast Mortos and we will see if these two will have another match very soon with the great chemistry they had.

Singles Match
Darby Allin defeated Brody King via Pinfall (12:20)
Chris/Jey says: It’s now time for another tale in the rivalry between Darby Allin and Brody King. This feud originates from Evolve 99 which ended in a draw. Afterward it has spilled in AEW from singles matches to tag team matches with each wrestler trading off wins. As this rivalry ended, it had Darby Allin come out on top. The show of respect at the end had gotten intrigued to what’s next. Curious to see what’s next as an Allegiance between the two rivals were teased. I’m definitely interested to see what next for The House of Black as hopefully we see them turn over a new leaf.
Tiki says: it was time for another Chapter in the Feud between Darby Allin and Brody King. why do i say this? Because this one goes beyond All Elite Wrestling, time for a little Match-History Lesson? 2018 Darby Allin and Brody King had their first Match against each other at Evolve 99 which ended in a Time Limit Draw and this was the start of (now) 11 other matches (12 overall) both Superstars have participated... Tag Matches, Royal Rampage and 6 (with this one) Singles Matches. Every match between these two was solid and they have built a great chemistry over 6 years of having matches against each other. Darby was the winner this evening but.. that was not the most interesting part... after the Match both Wrestlers finally had a handshake and this could open some interesting new storylines in the future.

AEW World Tag Team Championship Match
The Young Bucks (C) defeated Private Party via Pinfall (15:50)
Chris/Jey says: The only tag team match on the main card of WrestleDream was the AEW World Tag Team Championships as the EVP’s took on Private Party. The challengers have been receiving a big push as of late and I’m really liking how they are booked. During the match, both teams put on quite the performance as the high flying action took place. At one point in the match we saw shots of Top Flight and Stokely Hathaway in the crowd. Speaking of Stokely, he has been trying to recruit Private Party for weeks, but the team refused his management. The EVP’s retained, but the up and coming Private Party put up quite the fight. Special thanks to The Young Bucks for trying to put them over like they should.
Tiki says: the one and only Tag Team Match on the Main Card of Wrestledream is for the AEW World Tag Team Championship, which means the EVP's are in action! The Young Bucks vs. Private Party has become a very solid feud that fans enjoy a lot. It looks like both teams can bring out the best out of each other to perform on a different level. so, we expect a great match... and it was a great Tag Team Match! The Young Bucks retained their Tag Team Championships but I think this isn't the last time we will see the Private Party challenge for the Tag Team Gold. They have become one of my favorite tag teams and they have a bright future ahead of them. also big shout out to the Young Bucks, who did everything to put them even more over during the match.

Ring of Honor World Championship Singles Match
Mark Briscoe (C) defeated “the learning Tree” Chris Jericho via Pinfall (15:20)
Chris/Jey says: In this championship match Chris Jericho has made a habit of saying Jay Briscoe’s name in vain. This feud between Leader of the Learning Tree and brother Mark Briscoe has become way too personal. So the question has been asked, can Chris Jericho win another world Championship? As for the match, it was chaotic. A referee bump occurred and out came The Bounty Hunter Bryan Keith, luckily Rocky Romero came out to even the odds. The Learning Tree and The Conglomeration came to a head, helping Mark Briscoe retain the prestigious Ring of Honor Championship. Mark Briscoe has done a wonderful job making the Ring of Honor championship mean something in AEW. Without saying anything, it seems like we’re in for another go around
Tiki says: Can Chris Jericho win another World Championship? this was one of the questions of the night and it was time to finally get an answer! Mark Briscoe has been the Ring of Honor World Champion for 190 days (at WrestleDream) after winning it against Eddie Kingston at Supercard of Honor 2024. It was a good match between Jericho and Briscoe, Jericho who is an artist in reinventing himself over and over again showed once again why many people actually think he belongs to the best Wrestlers of our Generation. Mark Briscoe did an amazing Job as the ROH World Champion over the last couple of months and he was able to retain the Championship at WrestleDream against Chris Jericho. great match but it looks like this wasn't the last time these two will face each other in Singles competition. (note: if you watched the following Dynamites and Collisions you know what's going on, but no spoilers here from my side).

AEW World Championship Singles Match
Jon Moxley (with Marina Shafir) defeated Bryan Danielson (C) via Technical Submission (referee stoppage) (27:00)
Chris/Jey says: The Main Event of the evening saw Bryan Danielson, one of the best wrestlers in the world defend the AEW World Heavyweight Championship against former friend and ally Jon Moxley. You could also say that this was the start of the war between Blackpool Combat Club and AEW. The question still remains which side will Wheeler Yuta choose.
Last month Jon Moxley returned and was on mission along with Marina Shafir. At last month's PPV ALL-OUT it became clear that the BCC wanted to take over the company and cut off the head of the snake starting with Bryan Danielson. Moxley goaded Darby Allin into defending his title shot and eventually won thanks to interference from Marina Shafir. Fast forward to Wrestle Dream as Jon Moxley defeated Bryan, due in part to Marina Shafir once again. The match was cinematic as Bryan attempted to overcome the odds. In the aftermath of the match itself, Claudio and Pac enter the ring attacking Bryan only to be saved by Wheeler Yuta and Darby Allinl.Now here’s where things get interesting: Wrestling Fans.
When we think Wheeler Yuta is going to help fend off the BCC, BAM! Bryan’s wrestling son clubs Darby Allin and they tie him up to the turnbuckle. Yuta suffocates Bryan without hesitation as we are in shock and awe. Talk about Cinema. The locker room spills out and the ending shot is Orange Cassidy and Darby Allin looking dismayed that they couldn’t do anything to stop this. Now the only question is, who steps up to lead AEW against Jon Moxley and BCC? Only time will tell as the story is just popping off.
Overall, as a wrestling fan myself, I do hope this isn’t Bryan Danielson’s last rodeo. I’ll really miss him becoming a Full-time wrestler, but perhaps this is for the best. If anything, if he does return, he should get his revenge match against the BCC. Regardless, Thank you Bryan Danielson for making us Wrestling Fans Again!
Tiki says: Main Event Time at WrestleDream and maybe the last match for one of the best Wrestlers in the World. Bryan Danielson vs Jon Moxley, the battle of the Blackpool Combat Club and the question if Wheeler Yuta is Bryan’s friend or his enemy...
Jon Moxley returned to All Elite Wrestling with a mission, at this moment writing the review still nobody knows who's the secret person behind all of this.. who caused this and who made Jon Moxley turn against his friend Bryan Danielson. But before we start with the match review we need to explain the whole story and how Jon Moxley became the Chance to challenge Bryan Danielson for the AEW World Championship. Jon Moxley only had one opportunity to get a title shot against Danielson and that was by defeating Darby Allin at Dynamite Grandslam. Moxley made the challenge, Darby accepted but was unable to beat Moxley after multiple outside interferences during the match and Marina Shafir who played an important part by distracting Allin. "Mox" became the new #1 Contender and will have a match against Danielson at the Wrestledream PLE.
so... it was time for the between two of the biggest superstars of the Company and maybe Danielson's last match (at least for now...) he made a promise that he will stop his full time Professional Wrestling career due to his neck injury the moment he loses the AEW World Championship.
It was a good match between Moxley and Danielson but like the Darby Allin Match and all the other Blackpool Combat Club Matches in the past weeks there was outside interference and Danielson was basically alone against a whole group of people. The only chance was Wheeler Yuta who looked like he will be on Danielsons side, but.... he also turned against Danielson.
Jon Moxley was able to defeat Bryan Danielson who was unable to defend himself anymore. After the match the Blackpool Combat Club continued their attack against Danielson.. the AEW Lockeroom tried to help but it was too late. the PLE ends with Orange Cassidy and Darby Allin heartbroken at Ringside.
As a fan you still hope that Bryan Danielson will have another match before retirement at some point when he's healthy again and able to Wrestle. we had a lot rumors in the past weeks that his Neck has become very bad, and this was also the reason why he hasn't signed a new contract with AEW. he made a promise to his family and to his fans, to stop with his full time career if the Neck will cause more problems. so.. as a fan I wanna say thank you to Bryan Danielson for all the matches, all the moments he created for us in his career, the Wrestlemania moment he gave us that touched the heart of almost every Wrestling Fan around the world and his mission to help improve All Elite Wrestling. The American Dragon is one of the best Wrestlers of our Generation, if not the best. #ThankYouDanielson #ThankYouBryan
