Excitement before WrestleDream: Statlander and Storm face each other in the ring!

On October 16, 2025, the WrestleDream wrestling event will take place in St. Louis, Missouri, and preparations for it are in full swing. The event, which marks All Elite Wrestling's (AEW) third annual PPV event, will feature eight exciting matches, including title matches for the Men's and Women's World Championships. The anticipation is high, especially for the highly anticipated match between Kris Statlander and Toni Storm, which will be a highlight in their rivalries to date. This was from Diva Dirt reported.

In an interview conducted by Renee Paquette, both fighters expressed their final words before the big showdown. Statlander, the current AEW Women's World Champion, and Storm are prepared for an exciting clash. But the excitement wasn't just limited to the ladies: in the ring there was a battle between the two, while Jamie Hayter took on Skye Blue to interrupt the Triangle of Madness' dominance. Hayter proved her strength and ended the match with a powerful Hayterade after previously performing a fallaway slam on Blue.

The preliminary fights and their meaning

In other preliminary matches, Harley Cameron took on Megan Bayne, while Cameron teamed up with Willow Nightingale to prepare for a tag team match against Bayne and Penelope Ford. Bayne made it clear to Nightingale that she would submit. In a thrilling moment, Cameron manages to survive an attack from Bayne, but is ultimately defeated with a Running Liger Bomb. This dynamic shows that the tag teams also clash intensely in the run-up to WrestleDream, which is what it is all about Wrestling Inc. was reported.

The WrestleDream event itself promises exciting matches in both the men's and women's divisions. There is an intriguing rivalry between Darby Allin and Jon Moxley that has been going on since their Coffin Match at AEW All Out. Moxley's threat to force Allin to quit creates heightened tension and makes the upcoming match one of the highlights of the event.

Outlook on the matches

Jamie Hayter will also compete against Thekla as part of WrestleDream. This feud, which was only recently built, is considered a less compelling match for a PPV match, despite Hayter's long absence due to injury. Another match that draws attention is the match between Mark Briscoe and AEW TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher, which may lose its appeal due to unclear career paths for both wrestlers.

Fans are already excited to see what extreme measures the fighters will take at WrestleDream. The weeks leading up to the event promise exciting action and revelations, both in the wrestling matches and in the storytelling around the AEW divisions.
