The Demand Calls for Rematch Following Loss to The Hurt Syndicate on AEW Dynamite
following a hard-fought street fight on the October 7, 2025, edition of AEW Dynamite, members of The Demand are refusing to accept defeat, issuing a challenge to The Hurt Syndicate for further competition. The Hurt Syndicate secured the victory against The demand adn GOA on the special Tuesday broadcast, but the losing team believes the rivalry is far from over.
In a post-show video released by All Elite Wrestling, members of The Demand reacted to the outcome, questioning the fairness of the three-on-one dynamic during the match.
“congratulations, MVP,” one member began, as reported by Fightful. “Congratulations, Shelton benjamin and Bobby Lashley. Because it took the three of you, it took all three Hurt Syndicate members to put down little old Ricochet.What is it? Are you afraid of my guys? Are you afraid of a fair fight? Why is it three on one? Does it make you feel good? Does it make you feel like tough guys?”
Another member of The Demand echoed the sentiment, emphasizing their resilience. “No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you didn’t pin me, you didn’t pin him [gestures to Toa Liona]. Tables, chairs, y’all are in the business of hurting peopel and you must have forgot that we like to be hurt. This will continue, this will continue, the chaos continues.”
The challenge culminated with a direct demand for continued conflict. “It needs to continue! I know you guys got more. I want more. and if you guys want this to end, we demand more,” a third member stated.
The history between the two groups is already marked by a competitive balance. While The Hurt Syndicate claimed victory on Tuesday,The Demand previously secured a win over their rivals at AEW All Out. This back-and-forth suggests a developing and intense rivalry within All Elite Wrestling.
