AEW is set to present WrestleDream on Saturday, October 18, 2025, from Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, Missouri. Fans are expecting this event to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The company has gained immense momentum this year, and Tony Khan must ensure this continues.

Only one bout has been announced for WrestleDream so far: Darby Allin vs. Jon Moxley. This is going to be an "I Quit" Match. Allin vs. Moxley is probably going to mark the end of their blood-soaked rivalry. However, this likely won't be the lone high-profile bout on the pay-per-view card. WrestleDream is still weeks away. The AEW President has ample time to build a strong match card. Title matches must be booked, and a few surprises will elevate the show's overall experience.

Here are three early predictions for AEW WrestleDream 2025.


Insane Vince McMahon ideas that got canceled - Watch Here!

#3. WWE Hall of Famer Adam Copeland may shockingly return at WrestleDream

AEW star Adam Copeland recently teamed up with his longtime friend Christian Cage. The duo locked horns with FTR at All Out. Even though Cope and Cage won this showdown, Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood had the last laugh. The former AEW World Tag Team Champions brutally attacked the debuting Beth Phoenix (Copeland's wife).

Eventually, the former Edge realized that his family was being affected due to his feuds. The Rated-R Superstar told Captain Charisma that he is leaving and is unsure if he will be back.

"I can't keep doing this anymore; this isn't the first time this has happened. It's affecting my family, so I've gotta go, and I don't know if I'll be back," he told Christian. [H/T: WrestleTalk on X]

Copeland is a veteran and a mastermind in his own right. The WWE Hall of Famer must have said the above statement to throw his rivals off. He's probably regrouping and preparing for his next attack. At WrestleDream, the AEW megastar might return with all guns blazing and destroy both FTR and The Matriarchy.


#2. Jon Moxley could be forced to say "I Quit"

Jon Moxley's rivalry with Darby Allin has been deeply personal. They despise each other and have inflicted immense violence on each other thus far. On October 18, the stakes will be high at WrestleDream. Moxley must win to prove that even without the world title, he is an unstoppable force. Meanwhile, Allin needs a victory to regain the momentum after failing to defeat The Purveyor of Violence in a Coffin Match at All Out.

At WrestleDream, The Daredevil could force the erstwhile Dean Ambrose to say, "I Quit." Allin is the heart and soul of the company. He recently returned to weekly programming after a prolonged absence, and Tony Khan certainly sees him as a megastar. Once his rivalry with Moxley ends, he will likely shift his focus toward capturing the company's top title.


#1. Andrade could make his shocking AEW return

Former AEW star Andrade recently parted ways with WWE. During his first run with the Jacksonville-based company, from 2021 to 2023, he achieved moderate success. His recent World Wrestling Entertainment stint was underwhelming, and Tony Khan might be considering bringing El Idolo back.

The former NXT Champion might make a glorious All Elite Wrestling return at WrestleDream. This time around, Khan could book him in major feuds and give him title wins. After all, the 35-year-old is a modern-day great.
