AEW Grand Slam 2025 Results: Winners, Live Grades, Reaction and Highlights

Welcome to Bleacher Report's live coverage of AEW Grand Slam Australia on February 15. This was AEW's first time visiting the land down under, so the card was stacked with big matches.

Here is a look at what AEW advertised for this special episode:

—Toni Storm vs. Mariah May

—Kazuchika Okada vs. Buddy Matthews

—Mercedes Mone vs. Harley Cameron

—Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli vs. Jay White and Adam Copeland

—Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega vs. Kyle Fletcher and Konosuke Takeshita

Let's take a look at everything that happened at Grand Slam Australia.

Grand Slam opened with the Aussie fans cheering before we got the entrances for Takeshita and Fletcher for the opening bout against Ospreay and Omega. Fletcher got a big pop from his countrymen.

The crowd was chanting "This is awesome" before anyone even made contact. Ospreay and Fletcher opted to start for their teams and began brawling as soon as the bell rang.

The crowd gave Omega a big pop when he tagged in with a high crossbody. This match was high-energy and fast-paced. They traded control back and forth too many times to count, so it felt highly competitive.

Every had a chance to be in control and get in their offense, but everyone also spent some time selling for their opponents on defense.

Not only was the action fun, but just about everything they did was performed with a high level of precision. All four of these men have the reputations they have because they can put on matches like this. It's hard to find a single thing to complain about here beyond the usual AEW thing where nobody cares who is legal.

The match came close to ending several times before it finally concluded with Ospreay and Omega combining their finishers to get the pin on Big Take. This was phenomenal from start to finish and the crowd gave them a deserved standing ovation.

Result: Ospreay and Omega defeated Fletcher and Takeshita

Grade: A-plus

Notable Moments and Observations

—The show started more than 20 minutes late due to the dunk contest. Thanks a lot, basketball.

—You can always tell when someone spent a lot of time in Japan because their ring jackets are way more ornate than what we usually see.

—AEW used a slightly smaller ring than usual, so they weren't able to get quite as much speed running the ropes but made it work.

—The series of counters with Ospreay and Fletcher was phenomenal.

Australia's own Cameron had the biggest opportunity of her AEW career when she challenged Mone for the TBS Championship.

They locked up and Mercedes tried to big-time Harley a bit by taunting her while hitting a body slam.

The ventriloquist found her Mercedes Puppet under the ring and held onto it while she hit some mounted punched in the corner. The CEO ripped the puppet away, stomped on it and kicked it out of the ring.

Cameron used the puppet to taunt Mone later in the match as she began to build up some momentum. Sadly for her, Mercedes was too much for her to overcome. Mone hit her finisher and scored the win to retain her title.

This was easily Cameron's best match to date. It wasn't a show-stealer, but it was a solid match between two people at very different stages of their career.

Result: Mone defeated Cameron

Grade: C-plus

Notable Moments and Observations

—Cameron got a great pop for her entrance.

—While she has improved by leaps and bounds, you can still see places where Cameron is not fully confident yet. That will come in time.

—The crowd was upset that the puppet didn't get kicked into the crowd.

Copeland and White were out first to take on Mox and Castagnoli in a tag team match.

As soon as everyone was in the ring, the punches started getting thrown. This was a Brisbane Brawl, so the rules were out the window.

They were using weapons, putting each other through tables, fighting in the crowd and everything else that usually goes with a No DQ match in AEW.

Copeland was on his A-game in this match and took some big risks along the way. Everyone did good work, but Cope was the star here. Wheeler Yuta showed up with a belt and started whipping White, but all it did was piss him off.

Shafir and Yuta helped the Death Riders gain control and Moxley eventually won by choking Copeland out. they continued attacking Cope as the crowd chanted its displeasure.

This was a solid match with some fun moments, but the crowd was clearly unhappy about the outcome.

Result: Death Riders defeated White and Cope

Grade: B

Notable Moments and Observations

—The crowd continuing to sing Cope's music made him emotional.

—Copeland took a big dive from an upper level to the floor. He should be more careful after what happened after the cage dive.

—AEW needs to have Marina Shafir wrestle more. She is too intimidating to just be muscle for Moxley.

The Continental Championship was on the line when Okada defended the belt against Matthews, who came out solo instead of with Brody King and Julia Hart.

The Rainmaker ignored a handshake and flipped Matthews off, which made him smile. They started with a fast exchange of takedowns but came to a stalemate.

These two put on a performance that showed they have studied each other and knew all of their tricks by heart, which made for some fun interactions. This was a great match that allowed both men to show off a bit.

Matthews put up a good fight, but he was unable to defeat the champion to win the title. Okada hit the Rainmaker to close out a competitive bout.

Result: Okada defeated Matthews

Grade: B-plus

Notable Moments and Observations

—Matthews got a big pop from his fellow Australians.

—It was great to see Matthews finally being portrayed as a threat to someone on Okada's level.

—Okada acting like he was going to take his title and leave was the least convincing use of that moment.

—The way Okada hit a flying elbow drop was hilarious.

Luther appeared in the crowd as an usher and signaled for Storm's entrance. Her old theme began to play before it was replaced by her Timeless theme.

The former allies wasted no time getting right to the action after the bell. An irate Storm took it to the champion and stomped her down in the corner.

This was more physical than their previous encounter while also feeling like a more personal fight. Storm wasn't trying to play the Timeless role as much as she was trying to hurt May.

Both women hit their finishers in unsuccessful attempts to win before Storm used an inside cradle to score a somewhat surprising win to regain the world title.

The crowd erupted as she was declared the victor while May looked like she just suffered the greatest loss of her life. This was a fantastic way to end the show.

Result: Storm defeated May

Grade: B-plus

Notable Moments and Observations

—Storm's mother made her gear for this match.

—The way Storm hit the guardrail looked brutal.

—Storm used a unique version of the STF that looked more like a reverse Regal Stretch.

Grand Slam Australia may have had some issues leading to the show such as people being under the impression that it was a PPV, and the delayed start time due to the NBA Dunk Contest, but the show went off without a hitch.

All five matches met or exceeded expectations, and the Australian crowd had plenty of local heroes to cheer for in various matches.

Storm regaining the women's title to become a four-time champion is going to be the biggest talking point coming out of the night, but the match that stole the show was Ospreay and Omega vs. Fletcher and Takeshita.

They opened the night with a tremendous performance that not only made all four men look good, but it set up future matches between the two sets of rivals.

All in all, this show was a big success in terms of the entertainment value it provided.

Grade: A-minus
