AEW Revolution was back at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles
for the second straight year, and by the end of the night,
the landscape of AEW had undergone many changes.
In the main event, AEW World Champion MJF choked out
“Hangman” Adam Page with a chain over the top rope, which
left Page unable to answer the referee’s count. MJF was
victorious in the Texas Death match, which means Page can
never challenge for the AEW World Title again!
AEW Women’s World Champion Thekla was able to outlast Kris
Statlander with a 2-1 victory in a 2 Out of 3 Falls Match to
retain the AEW Women’s World Title. However, we do have NEW
AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions after Divine Dominion
beat the Babes of Wrath! Willow Nightingale retained the TBS
Title against Lena Kross on Zero Hour, but was clearly
injured heading into the second title defense later in the
night and left Revolution down a championship.
It was also a night of huge returns! FTR beat the Young
Bucks to retain the AEW World Tag Team Titles, but were
confronted by Adam Copeland and Christian Cage, who laid out
Cash Wheeler, Dax Harwood and Big Stoke before picking up
the AEW World Tag Team Titles to indicate their plans for
FTR! Jon Moxley turned away Konosuke Takeshita to keep his
AEW Continental Championship, but after the match, Will
Ospreay returned and ran through the Death Riders until they
escaped through the crowd! And we saw Swerve Strickland
defeat Brody King, but when he tried to stomp King through a
cinderblock after the match, Kenny Omega showed up to make
the save!
“Timeless” Toni Storm finally defeated Marina Shafir one-on-
one in a match where everyone was barred from ringside. As
Storm celebrated on the stage, Ronda Rousey showed up in the
ring and invited Storm to come back down and face her! Storm
did just that, but referees and security separated the two
until Shafir knocked out Storm and left with Rousey!
That’s just some of what went down on a wild night in Los
Angeles!
Here's everything that happened at AEW Revolution and Zero
Hour on March 15, 2025, including your full results and
match recaps.
AEW Revolution Full Match Results
AEW Zero Hour – BOOM & DOOM (“Big Boom” AJ and Q.T.
Marshall) def. The Infantry (ROH World 6-Man Tag Team
Champions Shawn Dean and Carlie Bravo) of Shane Taylor
Promotions
We began the evening with a BOOM! But before the opening
contest, Lexy Nair talked to actor/comedian Wayne Brady in
the crowd, who was excited to see Ricochet and Swerve in
action tonight! He also said his finishing move would be
“The Bitch Slap.”
BOOM & DOOM made their entrance to a massive ovation and
started to make their greetings around the ring, but were
cut off by Shane Taylor Promotions. Dean and Bravo attacked
AJ and Marshall from behind, and we were underway! AJ and
Marshall quickly turned things around, as AJ dropped Dean
with a flying clothesline. Marshall tagged in, and AJ sent
him to the corner for a step-up kick. AJ considered a dive
to the floor, but he wasn’t the legal man, so Marshall did
it instead and took out Shane Taylor and Bravo!
As AJ celebrated in the corner, Bravo dropped Marshall on
the outside. The Infantry took over, but not before
exchanging some words with Wayne Brady. Christyan XO hit a
big boot on Marshall on the floor, which brought the Rizzler
over to confront her! Bravo got between them and threw
Marshall back in the ring. With Marshall down in the corner,
Dean came across the ring with a BBC. Bravo tagged back in
for an assisted neckbreaker, but Marshall kicked out! Dean
tagged back in and went to the top, but Marshall was ready
and knocked Dean out of midair!
AJ finally tagged in and gave both Dean and Bravo bodyslams,
followed by spinebusters! He sat out with Bravo, but Dean
broke up the pin. The Infantry came back with a double-team
neckbreaker on AJ, and he escaped the pin in the nick of
time. The Infantry tried a double running kick on AJ, but he
fell to the mat in a bit of lucky timing. Marshall came back
in to hit a Double Cookie Cutter on Bravo and Dean! Taylor
low-bridged Marshall over the top and got into it with Wayne
Brady at ringside, so Brady slapped him! Taylor pulled Brady
over the rail and threw him to the ground. Rizzler came over
to confront Taylor, so he pushed Rizzler to the ground! Big
Justice came flying around the corner to spear Taylor! Big
Boom AJ came off the top rope with a Five Boom Crossbody
onto Taylor, Bravo and Dean on the floor! AJ and Marshall
finished off with a Boomsday Device for the victory!
AEW Zero Hour – TBS Championship Match: TBS Champion and AEW
Women’s World Tag Team Champion Willow Nightingale (c) def.
“Colossal” Lena Kross
Kross shoved Nightingale down at the bell, perhaps showing
she was more powerful than the champion. Nightingale tried
three shoulder tackles, but Kross barely budged. She worked
over Nightingale in the corner, so Willow cartwheeled out
only to get viciously tackled. Nightingale came back with
clotheslines in the corner until Kross cut her off with an
armbar. Kross brought Nightingale back to the corner and put
Nightingale on her shoulders for an electric chair drop
face-first to the top turnbuckle! That was brutal.
Nightingale kicked out, but Kross was clearly in control.
She worked Nightingale over in the opposite corner with a
pump kick and a release German suplex. Kross didn’t do much
to cover Nightingale, so the kickout wasn’t difficult,
although Nightingale’s shoulder was clearly bothering her.
Nightingale fell to the floor to catch her breath, so Kross
followed, but Nightingale threw her into the barrier!
Nightingale charged in, but Kross dropped her shoulder-first
on the top of the rail! They returned to the ring, and
Nightingale started to fight back with lariats using her
good arm, followed by a shotgun dropkick from the second
rope!
The two exchanged shots, and Nightingale hit a huge
spinebuster! Nightingale tried for a Babe with the
Powerbomb, but her shoulder was too weak. Kross took the
opportunity to hit a thrust kick. Nightingale seemed to
catch some kind of second wind because she laid a chop on
Kross’ chest that was heard in every corner of the
Crypto.com Arena! Kross came back with a huge chop of her
own, and they are throwing bombs! Kross hit a TKO out of
nowhere, but Nightingale kicked out! Kross talked trash to
Nightingale in the corner. Nightingale hit some big kicks
and tried a cannonball, but missed! Kross went for a Split-
Legged Moonsault, but Nightingale moved just in time.
Nightingale tried a Pounce, but ate a thrust kick from
Kross. Nightingale was staggered, but quickly turned a
backslide into a three-count for the win! Bayne immediately
hit the ring to attack, so Cameron ran out with a pipe to
run off Kross and Bayne and save Nightingale!
AEW Zero Hour – “Jungle” Jack Perry Eliminated Last Ricochet
to Win AEW National Title in the 21-Man Blackjack Battle
Royale
“Jungle” Jack Perry arrived in a literal Jurassic Express
bus driven by Luchasaurus! AEW National Champion Ricochet
was last to enter and came out with Toa Liona and Bishop
Kaun, but because they weren’t in the match, the referees
sent them to the back!
Ricochet was stunned to be out there alone, as he stood in
the ring with the other 20 competitors waiting for the bell
on the floor. Perry charged in the ring after Ricochet, and
he bailed to the floor as the bell rang! Fights were
happening all over the ringside area, but no one was in the
ring! Tony Schiavone said someone was hiding under the
announce desk. The fights continued until AR Fox hit a
cannonball onto a host of bodies on the floor! Lio Rush came
out from under the table and scampered into the ring, but
came right back out with a torpedo dive onto even more
bodies on the floor. Komander ran the ropes from one corner
to the other and flew to the floor with an unbelievable
plancha! Finally, everyone piled into the ring, but Perry
was able to get a hold of Ricochet and started biting him!
Daniel Garcia pulled Ricochet away from Perry. More fights
continued on the outside, as Rocky Romero and Trent Beretta
went to work on Juice Robinson. Romero celebrated too early,
as Robinson came back to throw him over the top rope for the
first elimination! Austin Gunn had an impressive offensive
flurry but celebrated too much, so RUSH eliminated him.
RUSH, Beast Mortos and Dralístico of LFI took down Ace
Austin until Lio Rush, Komander and AR Fox cleared LFI from
the ring, but didn’t eliminate them. Then, Rush, Fox and
Komander all went at it with some spectacular offense until
El Clon paired off with Fox. Clon nailed a nasty lungblower
and tried to throw out Fox, but they each reversed until Fox
wound up on the apron. A fallway kick connected with Fox’s
head, and he was eliminated.
Robinson and Austin eliminated Johnny TV. Katsuyori Shibata
and Scorpio Sky faced off, with Sky nailing a facebuster.
Bowens flew in to take out Sky out of nowhere! Bowens
cracked Sky with a Mollywop, and Shibata eliminated Sky. Lio
Rush cracked Tommaso Ciampa with a thrust kick, but Ciampa
was able to send him to the apron and knock him to the floor
with a bicycle kick for the elimination. Shibata took down
RUSH, then Mortos, but Dralístico tried to kick him, so
Bowens took the bullet! Shibata knocked Dralístico out for
the elimination!
Ricochet nailed Shibata from behind and hit Bowens with a
Spirit Gun to eliminate him. Dalton Castle splattered
Ricochet on the mat with a Bangarang! LFI immediately
attacked Castle, and Mortos came off the top with a
corkscrew splash! LFI threw Castle out for the elimination.
Komander hit a poisonrana on Mortos, eliminating him!
Komander walked the ropes, which was a very dangerous idea,
and Beretta knocked him down, but not out! Komander
propelled Beretta over the top with his legs! Garcia ripped
Komander’s mask off to help eliminate him. He put on the
mask to mock Komander, but wound up being eliminated by
Ciampa!
RUSH took Ace Austin down in the corner and faked giving him
the horns, but instead stopped for a single kick and then
posed on the mat. RUSH and Austin wound up on the apron and
exchanged chops until RUSH was knocked to the floor.
Robinson and Shibata fought on the apron, with Shibata
getting eliminated thanks to Austin running into him to save
Robinson. On the other side of the ring, Austin eliminated
RUSH. Austin nearly eliminated Ricochet, but he hung on, so
Ciampa threw Austin over the top to the other side and
nailed him with a knee to eliminate Austin. Ciampa and
Robinson fought on the apron until Robinson hit the Left
Hand of God to eliminate Ciampa as Zero Hour came to a
close! This match will continue on Revolution!
Pyro went off to start the main card as Clon, Perry and
Ricochet fought in the ring with Robinson eliminated during
the chaos. Perry eliminated Clon! Ricochet immediately
nailed Perry with the Spirit Gun! Perry came back with a
lariat, but when he went for a German suplex, Ricochet
landed on his feet! Ricochet tried to back drop Perry over
the top, but Perry just barely held on in a sunset flip
position as his feet dangled inches over the floor! Somehow
Perry pulled himself back to the apron. Ricochet missed a
double stomp and ate a superkick! Perry went to the top, but
was pulled down by Ricochet onto his shoulder. Perry
reversed it into a poisonrana on the apron, and Ricochet was
eliminated! JACK PERRY IS THE NEW AEW NATIONAL CHAMPION!
Perry celebrated with his hometown crowd and friends and
family, including Luchasaurus, as Ricochet had a tantrum on
the floor!
AEW World Tag Team Championship Match: FTR (Cash Wheeler and
Dax Harwood) (c) with Big Stoke def. Young Bucks (Matt and
Nick Jackson)
Before the match, we saw a highlight package of the history
between these two teams and narration from the Jacksons'
kids. The Young Bucks entered with their kids and other
family members in full Bucks gear! The Younger Bucks handed
out some of the bucks on the way to the ring, and then
everyone posed in the ring! The mood changed when FTR
entered with Big Stoke in some Boston Celtics-inspired gear,
which did not go over well in Los Angeles. Harwood and
Wheeler took the opportunity to taunt the Jackson family in
the front row.
It was no surprise to see these two sides waste no time
going at it at the bell. The Bucks hit a double-team sunset
flip, which forced FTR to the outside. Matt nailed a double
boot through ropes to Harwood and Wheeler, but when Nick
tried a flip dive, he was caught and slammed face-first on
the announce desk! Matt came off the top to take out both
members of FTR, as Big Stoke wheeled himself to a safer
position. Matt tried to fight off both members of FTR on the
floor and paired off with Harwood on the apron. Harwood
turned things around quickly, and Wheeler came off the top
to spike Matt with a piledriver on the apron! He was in dire
straits!
Nick was back up, but bleeding from the head as a result of
hitting the announce table earlier. Nick was double-teamed
by FTR until some desperation superkicks nearly got him a
pin on Harwood, who was also bleeding. Nick sent Wheeler
over the top to the floor, but Harwood and Nick took each
other down. Matt tried to work his way back in, but Wheeler
cut him off with a Gory Bomb to the corner of the apron!
Nick still has no one to tag! FTR tried to set up for Power
and Glory, but Nick got out of it with a dropkick and a
senton. Matt tagged back in! He fought FTR with one arm, as
he was clearly in major pain from the piledriver on the
apron. He ran FTR into the corner and hit a Northern Lights
into a rollup and nearly won the match!
Matt hit a cutter to Harwood from the apron, but was in too
much pain to follow up. Matt got pumped up by his kids in
the front row and jumped on the apron. He nailed Wheeler in
the gut, but Harwood pulled him down and nailed a measured
punch to the face. He dragged Matt to the front row to taunt
the Jackson family, so Malachi threw a drink in Harwood’s
face, and when he turned around, Matt got out of his
clutches, and Wheeler leveled Harwood with a dive! Stokely
was stunned!
Matt threw Harwood back in and nailed a crossbody from the
top for a near-fall! Nick was bleeding on the outside as he
struggled to his feet. Harwood dropped Matt and mockingly
went for a superkick, but Matt caught it and turned it into
a Sharpshooter as Nick returned and did the same to Wheeler!
FTR wouldn’t let each other tap out, and they finally made
it to the ropes to break the holds. With the Bucks back
together, they used a mix of superkicks to knock Wheeler to
the floor. Nick hit a facebuster on Harwood and tried to
moonsault to the floor, but Wheeler had it scouted and moved
so that he could put Nick down with a suplex! Matt hit
double boots on Wheeler through the ropes, but turned back
into a rebound powerbomb by Harwood for a two-count!
Wheeler tried to use one of the AEW World Tag Team Titles,
but missed and flew over the top back to the floor. All four
men battled on the apron until the Bucks hit stereo suplexes
on FTR, bringing them from the ring to the floor! The Bucks
got FTR back in the ring, and when Harwood and Wheeler came
up on their knees, Matt and Nick unloaded with superkicks!
Matt lifted Wheeler for the flip pildriver, but when Nick
tried to springboard, Stokely miraculously rose from his
wheelchair to grab Nick’s leg! When Nick tried again, he
jumped right into a Shatter Machine! 1-2-Nick kicks out! FTR
hit the stuff piledriver on Nick, but he got his leg on the
rope just before the referee hit the mat. Now it was FTR who
hit repeated superkicks followed by a BTE Trigger. NICK
KICKED OUT AT ONE! Wheeler couldn’t believe it!
Nick fought off both members of FTR with punches, but they
still got him in position for the Shatter Machine, only for
Matt to intercept it at the last second! Nick rolled up
Harwood for a two-count! The Bucks hit superkicks and then a
Shatter Machine on Harwood! They followed with a BTR
Trigger, but Harwood kicked out just in time! Wheeler threw
Nick to the apron, but missed a dive and fell to the floor.
Nick charged to the other side and knocked Stokely out of
his wheelchair with a huge dive! Nick got back on the apron
and came off the ropes to spike Harwood with the flipping
piledriver, but he kicked out again! The Bucks tried to
isolate Harwood again, but Wheeler crotched Nick on the top
rope! He climbed in front of Nick and came off the second
rope for a spike piledriver on Matt. Harwood went up the
ropes to meet Nick and launched him backwards for a Super
Shatter Machine! Harwood covered Nick for the three-count,
and somehow, FTR retained! Big Stoke smiled as he recovered
on the outside.
FTR and Stoke celebrated in the ring until the lights went
out. The word REVENGE was spelled out on the video boards
with the R in the familiar Rated R Superstar logo!
ADAM COPELAND HAS RETURNED!
The music of Christian Cage played next as Copeland waited
in the aisle, but FTR didn’t see Cage sneak into the ring
behind them! He used mace on Wheeler and dropped Harwood
with a Killswitch! Copeland came in with a spear on Wheeler!
Only Stoke was left, and he tried to shake their hands. He
grabbed Cage’s hand, so Cage pulled him into a Killswitch!
Copeland threw him out of the ring, and then Copeland and
Cage grabbed the AEW World Tag Team Titles! Copeland was
heard saying to FTR, “We’re gonna take ‘em, boys!”
The Young Bucks returned to the ring and faced off with Cage
and Copeland as the crowd erupted in a “HOLY SHIT!” chant.
Cage and Copeland laid down the AEW World Tag Team Titles,
but most importantly, they are both back in AEW!
Everyone Barred from Ringside: “Timeless” Toni Storm def.
Marina Shafir
Shafir entered first, yelling, “I’m gonna kill her!” Storm
entered to a massive applause, but was attacked by Shafir
while still in her entrance attire, and the bell rang!
Shafir pounded Storm and kicked her to the mat multiple
times, leaving Storm gasping for air. Finally, Storm hung on
to the ropes to slow Shafir down, but Shafir lit Storm up
again. Shafir hit a couple of judo throws for a one-count
and then sat Storm up to unleash some nasty kicks. Storm
kicked out again, but she was taking a lot of punishment.
Shafir tried to lock in a kneebar of sorts, but Storm got
out of it and went to a rear-naked choke. Shafir threw Storm
off her, so Storm came back with a German suplex, but Shafir
stood up and smashed Storm with a front kick to the chest!
Storm kicked out again and came back with a dropkick!
They fought on the apron, and Shafir attempted to pull Storm
down to the floor until she gave up on that and unleashed
more kicks on Storm’s spine. Shafir hit a back suplex from
the apron to the floor and began lighting up Storm with more
kicks against the announce table. Storm was knocked into a
sitting position, so Shafir kept going with the kicks until
Storm moved and Shafir nailed the announce table with her
exposed foot! Storm bit the foot on the apron and then again
in the ring! Storm nailed a DDT, yet stayed down after
taking so much punishment. Storm and Shafir got to their
feet and exchanged strikes until Storm hit three German
suplexes!
Shafir crawled to the corner, so Storm charged across with
three hip attacks! Storm dragged Shafir out and hit the
Storm Zero! Shafir kicked out at two! Storm seemed at a
loss, so she went for another Storm Zero, but Shafir got out
of it and chopped Storm across the chest. Storm tried a
headbutt, but Shafir trapped Storm in Mother’s Milk. Storm
desperately ripped at Shafir’s face to break the hold and
then bit Shafir’s chest, although it didn’t look like she
was looking for any more milk! Storm dropped Shafir with a
big headbutt and captured Shafir in The Big Package to get
the pinfall victory!
As Storm celebrated on top of the ramp, RONDA ROUSEY entered
the ring and took off her jacket! She pointed at Storm and
called her to the ring. Storm sat up and smiled! She got
back up and marched to the ring as the crowd went wild! She
faced off with Rouse,y and a massive throng of referees and
security got between the two. However, in the chaos, Shafir
returned and knocked Storm out with a cheap shot! Shafir and
Rousey left together through the crowd, as Mina Shirakawa
came out to check on Storm. However, we went right into the
next match, as AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley got his
customary slaps from Shafir as they passed in the crowd.
AEW Continental Championship Match (No Time Limit): Jon
Moxley (c) def. “The Alpha” Konosuke Takeshita
Takeshita shook off a couple of early shots from Moxley
before Moxley worked him into the corner and unloaded with
punches. He raked Takeshita over the top rope, but Takeshita
came back with a flying clothesline. Takeshita mounted
Moxley in the corner for nine punches, but Moxley stopped
the 10th with a thumb to the eyes. Takeshita recovered and
sent Moxley to the opposite corner, where the two men kept
switching positions until they went back to a strike
exchange in the middle of the ring. Takeshita staggered
Moxley, who bailed to the outside, so Takeshita followed and
sent Moxley into the barrier before following with a big
boot.
Takeshita threw Mox back in the ring and took a second to
celebrate with the crowd, which was all it took for Moxley
to come flying out of the ring with a dive. He sat Takeshita
in a chair and booted him out of it. Moxley threw Takeshita
back in and got nine punches in the corner on Takeshita, so
Takeshita tried to go to Moxley’s face, but he knocked the
hand away and bit Takeshita on the head! Moxley ran into a
big boot in the corner, so Takeshita got to the second rope
and came off, but missed and landed awkwardly on his left
ankle. Moxley saw it and seized on it with a chop block.
Moxley slammed the knee into the mat multiple times and kept
Takeshita on the ground while continuing to grind away at
the injury. Moxley put Takeshita’s leg over the second rope
and nailed it with a running attack. Moxley put Takeshita in
a knee submission until Takeshita got to the ropes, although
more damage was done.
Takeshita recovered enough to attempt a running knee, only
for Moxley to turn it into a figure four leglock! Takeshita
got to the ropes to break it, so Moxley kicked the bad leg
out from under Takeshita. Takeshita avoided a Death Rider
and turned it into a Hitodenashi Driver/Wheelbarrow suplex
combo, but Moxley got back up for a shotgun dropkick!
Takeshita came back with a knee to Moxley’s jaw! Both men
were down! They came face-to-face and got back to their
feet, which led to another strike battle that initially put
Takeshita on the mat. He got back up, but Moxley caught him
in a choke. Takeshita got out of it and hit a Blue Thunder
Bomb out of nowhere to get a near-fall!
Moxley went to the apron, so Takeshita met him there. Moxley
put a thumb in Takeshita’s eye and tried to stomp him, but
missed! Takeshita looked back at the steel steps and tried
to suplex Moxley from the apron to the steel, so Moxley
blocked it and stomped Takeshita on the apron! Takeshita
beat the count just in time and ran right into a piledriver
from Moxley! 1-2 kickout by Takeshita!
Moxley hit repeated fists and headbutts on Takeshita, who
was cut wide open over the right eye. The blood seemed to
fire Takeshita up, but Moxley picked him up for a Gotch-
style piledriver and hit it! Moxley moved right to a choke
until Takeshita fought his way back to a vertical base and
broke the hold. Takeshita absorbed a big lariat and laid out
Moxley with one of his own. Takeshita nailed a running knee
to Moxley’s back in the corner and put him on the top
turnbuckle. Takeshita went up and bit Moxley’s head! He
threw Moxley to the mat with a Super Exploder and followed
with the Power Drive Knee, but Moxley kicked out at two!
Takeshita tried for a Raging Fire, but Moxley was ready and
hit a cutter. Takeshita rose right back up,p and Moxley
looked shocked! Takeshita went for an elbow strike, so
Moxley turned it into a Death Rider! Both men struggled to
get to opposite corners and pulled themselves up as the
referee’s count reached nine.
They both charged out of the corners with Takeshita nailing
an exploder. Moxley came back with a side suplex. Takeshita
was back up with another exploder! Moxley got back up for
another side suplex! Takeshita connected with a rolling
elbow, and Moxley answered with a lariat. Takeshita kicked
out at one! This match has now passed the 20-minute mark,
which means the no-time-limit stipulation was certainly
necessary!
Takeshita hit Raging Fire! Moxley kicked out, which has
never happened before! Takeshita was stunned, but lowered
his kneepad and limped to the corner for a Power Drive Knee.
As he ran towards Moxley, Takeshita’s leg gave out. Moxley
stomped on him and hit a Death Rider! Takeshita kicked out
at two! WHAT A MATCH! EVERYONE IS ON THEIR FEET!
Moxley put Takeshita on the top for an avalanche Death Rider
and planted Takeshita! Takeshita somehow kicked out again!
Moxley locked Takeshita in a rear-naked choke! Takeshita
tried to fight out with whatever he had left, but couldn’t,
and the referee called for the bell! Moxley is STILL the AEW
Continental Champion! The Death Riders came out to applaud
Moxley. He remained in the ring to show respect to Takeshita
and offered a handshake. Takeshita initially walked away,
but stopped and returned to the ring to shake Moxley’s hand.
Moxley started to leave with the Death Riders, and the
lights went out.
A video played showing a doctor treating an unknown patient
in some kind of hyperbaric chamber. It was revealed to be
WILL OSPREAY! We came back to Moxley in the arena, who tried
to blow it off, but WILL OSPREAY WAS HERE! He came out to
the top of the ramp and charged to the ring, where Moxley
was waiting, and Ospreay leveled him with a Hidden Blade!
PAC, Daniel Garcia and Wheeler Yuta came in to save Moxley,
but Ospreay took them all out! He went to the top and nailed
a corkscrew to the floor on Garcia and PAC! Ospreay went
back to the ring for Moxley, but Moxley escaped with the
Death Riders! Ospreay pointed to his surgically repaired
neck, which was injured at the hands of Moxley and Death
Riders last year.
Ospreay soaked in the adoring crowd one more time to
punctuate his long-awaited return!
AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship: Divine Dominion
(“Megasus” Megan Bayne and “Colossal” Lena Kross) def. The
Babes of Wrath (Harley Cameron and TBS Champion Willow
Nightingale) (c)
Before the match, Renee Paquette caught up with Nightingale
and Cameron in the trainers' room, as Nightingale was still
feeling the effects of her TBS Title match with Kross on
Zero Hour. She said she is cleared and will be out there
because that’s what double champions do. She can’t let down
Harley, who said they were sick of Bayne and Kross’ s***!
She led them out, although Nightingale was clearly still in
bad shape.
Divine Dominion attacked the Babes from behind, and this
match was underway. They threw Nightingale into the ring
post and out of the ring. Cameron jumped onto Bayne, but was
dumped to the mat. Kross tagged in with a basement lariat
for a nearfall. Bayne tagged back in and hit a kick to
Cameron, draped over the ropes. Bayne connected with a
senton splash for another nearfall. Bayne missed a charge in
the corner, so Cameron went up to the top and nailed a
crossbody! She crawled to her corner for a tag, but
Nightingale still wasn’t there. Cameron connected with a
desperation DDT on Bayne and continued to her corner while
Bayne was able to tag Kross. Nightingale finally tagged in!
She fought with one arm against Bayne and Kross and knocked
Bayne to the outside with a Pounce!
Nightingale avoided a pump kick and took Kross down with a
Death Valley Driver. The Babes both went for crossbodies,
but Divine Dominion caught them with stereo fallaway slams.
Bayne and Kross bounced Nightingale and Cameron back and
forth in the corners before Bayne booted Cameron into a
German suplex by Kross. Nightingale fought out of a double-
team and nailed Bayne with a thrust kick, only for Kross to
immediately drop Nightingale with a pump kick! She picked up
Nightingale for a Jackhammer, so Nightingale slipped into a
backslide, although unlike the TBS Title match, Kross kicked
out! Bayne came back with a flying clothesline on
Nightingale. Divine Dominion hit a double-chokeslam on
Nightingale, and Kross pinned her for the win! BAYNE AND
KROSS ARE THE NEW AEW WOMEN’S WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!
Swerve Strickland (with Prince Nana) def. Brody King
The crowd was on fire before the bell, and these two
answered that atmosphere by immediately coming to blows!
King got an early advantage with a back suplex and lined up
Swerve for a cannonball, but Swerve stopped King with a
House Call! Swerve stomped King on the apron! He pulled the
protective padding off a turnbuckle connector and lawn
darted King into the exposed metal! Swerve ripped up the
protective mats on the floor, but King fought back with a
uranage on the top of the barricade! King threw Swerve
around the ringside area and brought Swerve back to the ring
for a pin attempt, but Swerve wasn’t done. King trapped
Swerve in the ropes and nailed 10 uninterrupted shots. King
mounted Swerve in the corner, but Swerve got loose and
trapped King’s fingers in the turnbuckle connectors! King
got free and pulled Swerve around the ring post, which
caused Swerve to tap, although it didn’t matter because it
was an illegal hold! Still, the damage was done, which
allowed King to drop Swerve on the steel steps with a back
suplex!
King was feeling it and charged at Swerve near the
barricade, but Swerve met him with a leaping knee! Swerve
charged at King, but King drove him into the exposed floor
with a spinning slam! King and Swerve traded big shots on
the apron until Swerve tried a sunset flip. King stopped it,
so Swerve took a shot at his knee and then deadlifted King
for a sitout powerbomb on the apron! They both rolled in the
ring, where Swerve ripped off a bottom turnbuckle pad. He
pushed King’s face into the exposed buckle and tried to
stomp King into it, but King fought back to his feet and
sent Swerve into the corner. He put Swerve on the top and
tried to follow him, but Swerve got free and went back up
top. King elbowed him back down and came off the top with a
spinning crossbody!
King splashed Swerve in the corner and barked with the crowd
before hitting a cannonball! King connected with the All-
Seeing Eye! Swerve found a way to kick out! Swerve crawled
to the apron, and King choked him out over the ropes and
released him to the floor! King went out to get Swerve and
set Swerve up for a Gonzo Bomb on the floor. Swerve escaped
and pushed King into the barricade. He brought King up for a
Vertebreaker and dropped King on the exposed floor! King
might be out!
The referee began his count, and King managed to get back
into the ring just in time. Swerve was already on the top
rope for a Swerve Stomp, but King kicked out at one! Swerve
came flying out of the corner with a dropkick, but King
wouldn’t go down. Swerve hit another, and King stayed up!
King missed a big lariat, which gave Swerve the opening for
a House Call that connected with the back of King’s neck.
Swerve covered King for a three-count and won! However, that
wasn’t enough, as Prince Nana retrieved a cinderblock from
under the ring. They put King’s head on the block, and
Swerve went to the top for a stomp, but before he could do
anything, KENNY OMEGA RETURNED! He ran Swerve and Nana from
the ring!
AEW Women’s World Championship Match (2 Out of 3 Falls):
“The Toxic Spider” Thekla (c) def. Kris Statlander 2-1
Statlander dominated from the jump with her power, including
an avalanche vertical suplex from the top rope! Thekla
wouldn’t stay down, so Statlander kept the pressure on with
a slingshot to the corner. Thekla ducked a charge and rolled
up Statlander for a two-count. She nailed three successive
kicks on Statlander for another near-fall. Thekla took off
her belt and tried to use it, but the referee took it away.
Statlander picked up Thekla from behind, so she rolled off
Statlander’s back and ran her into the turnbuckle. She
rolled up Statlander with a bridge and grabbed the bottom
rope out of the referee’s view to steal the three-count and
the first fall!
Thekla leads 1-0
The bell rang for the second fall, and Statlander came
flying across the ring to dropkick Thekla off the apron. She
fell to the floor for more punishment, but Statlander missed
a charge into Thekla and hit the steel steps instead! Thekla
stomped on Statlander’s back from the apron. She threw
Statlander into the barricade and back in the ring. Thekla
trapped Statlander over the top rope in a tarantula and
followed with a running boot from the apron. Thekla went
into her spider walk, but Statlander was ready and cut off
the spear attempt with a knee and a roundhouse kick,
followed by a flying clothesline. Statlander hit a side
suplex for a two-count. She went up the ropes with Thekla on
her shoulders in a fireperson’s carry. Thekla got out of it
and met Statlander on the top turnbuckle. Statlander
headbutted Thekla multiple times, but Thekla rose back up
and threw Statlander to the mat with a Spider Suplex.
Statlander rolled to the floor, so Thekla tried to follow
with a crossbody from the top, but Statlander caught her!
Statlander tried to send Thekla into the barricade, but the
champion escaped. Statlander grabbed Thekla again and swung
her back and forth into the barricade! It got worse for
Thekla when Statlander slingshotted her into the steel
steps! Back in the ring, Statlander hit a running big boot
to Thekla in the corner and dropped Thekla on her head with
a Fisherman’s Driver! Thekla kicked out at two! Statlander
picked Thekla back up and ate multiple chops before swatting
Thekla away. Thekla came back with an octopus hold, so
Statlander worked her way back to a vertical base and used
the corner to move Thekla into position for Staturday Night
Fever, which connected! Statlander covered and earned a
pinfall to even things up!
Statlander and Thekla are tied 1-1!
Thekla appeared to be injured between falls, so Statlander
went right after her when the bell rang for the third fall.
Statlander picked up Thekla for another Staturday Night
Fever, so Thekla raked her eyes and sent Statlander into
referee Paul Turner! Thekla followed Turner to the floor and
kicked him before removing his belt. She brought it in to
whip Statlander, but Statlander stopped Thekla and turned
the tables with some whipping of her own. Statlander hit
another Staturday Night Fever, but no one was there to
count. Skye Blue and Julia Hart hit the ring to attack
Statlander, but she took them both down with clotheslines.
Statlander grabbed the belt again, but this time, Turner was
back up and saw her, so he took it away. Statlander turned
back around into a spear and two stomps from Thekla! She
pinned Statlander to win the third and final fall! Thekla
retains the AEW Women’s World Title, 2-1!
AEW World Trios Championship Match: “The Jet” Kevin Knight,
“Speedball” Mike Bailey & Místico def. Don Callis Family
(AEW International Champion “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada,
TNT Champion “The Protostar” Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis)
(c)
JetSpeed and Místico came out in matching white-and-gold
gear, with Bailey and Knight even donning lucha masks. Not
to be outdone, the Callis Family wore matching letterman
jackets in their signature colors.
Místico and Okada opened this anticipated championship match
with Místico taking Okada down quickly. Okada begged off and
feigned a back injury, as Místico tagged Knight. Knight went
for Okada, but Okada threw him into the Callis Family
corner. Davis tagged in and pounded Knight to the mat.
Knight tried a bodyslam, but Davis got out of it and sent
him into Fletcher. Davis tried a choke, but Knight kicked
free and bodyslammed the much larger Davis on the second
attempt! Davis rolled to the floor, so Knight followed with
a plancha! Bailey came in with Fletcher and sent him to the
floor with flying headscissors and a dropkick. Bailey hit a
plancha onto Fletcher and Davis on the floor. Místico fought
with Okada in the corner and sent him to the floor with an
armdrag. JetSpeed and Místico set up for a triple dive, but
the Callis Family stopped that when Okada pulled Místico to
the floor. Davis caught Knight and launched him over the top
onto Místico and Bailey!
Okada threw Knight back in, and Davis took off his mask.
Bailey tried to get back in, so Davis took his mask, too!
Davis kneeled on Knight for a cocky pin, but Knight kicked
out. Fletcher tagged in, and Knight dropped him with a
flying clothesline. Knight never had a chance to make a tag
because Okada knocked Bailey off the apron, and Davis pulled
Místico to the floor. Bailey came back and got on the top
rope, but Fletcher tossed him to Davis, who threw him into a
kick from Fletcher. Knight got triple-teamed, but Místico
came in to make the save. He sent Davis to the outside with
a head scissors and trapped Okada in an arm-wringer while
walking the ropes into a hurricanrana to Fletcher off the
top turnbuckle!
Fletcher and Okada caught Místico’s springboard crossbody,
so they tossed him aside and got knocked to the floor by
dropkicks from JetSpeed. Bailey, Knight and Místico all dove
through the ropes at the same time to take out the Callis
Family! Místico and Okada paired off back in the ring, where
Místico hit a pair of beautiful armdrags and then nearly
trapped Okada for a pinfall! Fletcher and Bailey tagged in.
Fletcher and Okada faced off with JetSpeed until Okada
nailed Bailey with a dropkick, and Knight took out Fletcher
with one of his own. Okada flipped off Knight, so Knight bit
his finger! Okada came back with a dropkick, and Fletcher
laid out Baileywith a thrust kick. Fletcher tried for a
brainbuster on Bailey as Okada went for the Rainmaker on
Knight, but they both escaped, and Místico came off the top
with a crossbody to Okada and Fletcher. Davis shotgun
dropkicked Místico across the ring. Bailey kicked Davis and
then smushed him with a moonsault kneedrop. Okada hit a
flapjack on Bailey. Knight leapt to the top and sent Okada
to the mat with a hurricanrana! Fletcher immediately
connected with a running boot to Knight’s face and tried for
the brainbuster, but Místico stopped it and hit a DDT on
Fletcher!
All six men fought on different sides of the apron. Knight
hit Okada with a DDT! Bailey crushed Davis with moonsault
knees! Místico nailed a Code Red on Fletcher! Bailey tagged
back in and nailed Fletcher with a shooting star press for a
two-count! Bailey put Fletcher on the top turnbucked for a
Flamingo Driver, but Davis came in with a chair. The referee
tried to stop it, so on the other side, Okada handed
Fletcher a title, but when he tried to hit Bailey, Bailey
ducked and dove onto Okada on the floor! Knight hit a
jumping DDT on Fletcher, and Bailey came off the top with
Ultima Weapon. Davis came in to break up the pin!
Davis fought off a JetSpeed double-team and powerbombed
Bailey with one arm while holding Knight’s leg with the
other! He planted Knight with a gutwrench piledriver! Davis
nailed Bailey with Close Your Eyes and Count to Nothing, but
Místico was there to break up the pin! Okada took Místico to
the outside, but back in the ring, Bailey leveled Davis with
a roundhouse kick! Fletcher broke up the pin and tried a
brainbuster, but Bailey escaped and sent him to the floor.
Bailey ran to his corner for a springboard moonsault to
Fletcher on the floor while Knight made a tag. He came off
the top with a springboard clothesline on Davis, and Okada
came in to break it up. Místico sent Okada to the floor with
a flying head-scissors and followed him out with a tornillo.
Knight went to the top, but Fletcher came across the ring to
meet him with a big kick to the jaw. Místico pulled Fletcher
away from Knight and hit him with La Mistica! As he tried to
lock Fletcher down, Bailey floored Davis with another kick!
Knight flew more than halfway across the ring over Místico
and Fletcher to nail Davis with a UFO Splash! He pinned
Davis, and we have new AEW World Trios Champions in JetSpeed
and Místico! As they celebrated with the titles, we saw that
Místico IS ALL ELITE!
Andrade El Ídolo def. ROH World Champion Bandido
Andrade waited for the bell to remove his top while standing
on the ropes to taunt the crowd. Andrade and Bandido
reversed each other at every turn until Andrade stayed in
the ropes to pose. After Andrade continued taunting the
crowd by refusing to take off his pants, Bandido stole the
show in new shorts underneath! However, Andrade took that
opportunity to attack Bandido. Bandido came back with a
hurricanrana, sending Andrade to the floor. He ran down the
apron with a hurricanrana that appeared to do some damage to
Andrade’s knee. Bandido tried a springboard, but Andrade was
ready with a powerbomb! He sent Bandido to the floor,
dropping him face-first onto the barrier.
Andrade walked up the steps and finally removed his pants
before finding yet another admirer in the crowd for a
selfie. He threw Bandido back in and covered him for a two-
count. Andrade tried to grind Bandido down with a chinlock,
but Bandido escaped with an innovative cutter. Bandido tried
to charge Andrade in the corner, but got caught in the ropes
and was trapped in the tree of woe. Andrade saw that opening
and went to the top for a stomp, but missed, and Bandido
dragged Andrade across the ring for a German suplex into the
bottom turnbuckle! That was enough for Don Callis to leave
commentary to check on Andrade.
Andrade and Bandido fought back to their feet and exchanged
big strikes until Andrade charged into Bandido with a big
boot. Andrade sent Bandido to the corner, so Bandido
answered with a boot and back elbow, followed by a tornillo
from the top. Bandido tried a press slam, but Andrade
floated out of it. Bandido hit another German suplex,
sending Andrade to the floor. Bandido followed up with a
dive that connected, and he landed on his feet! Bandido sent
Andrade back in the ring and tried a frog splash from the
top, but Andrade got the knees up! He immediately rolled
into Three Amigos, but Bandido stopped the third with two
German suplexes. He couldn’t get a third, as Andrade went
back to Three Amigos and hit two until Bandido came back
with three German suplexes in succession!
Bandido went to the top and smashed Andrade with a shooting
star press! Andrade kicked out at two! Bandido tried for a
21 Plex, but was sent to the apron. He tried to pull Bandido
over the top to the floor, so Andrade swept Bandido’s legs
off the second rope. Andrade went to the top and came off
with a moonsault over the post to Bandido on the floor! The
huge risk paid off, earning Andrade another admirer in the
front row, who also got a selfie and possibly Andrade’s
number. With Bandido back in the ring, Andrade tried another
moonsault from the top, so Bandido moved, but couldn’t avoid
the second moonsault from Andrade! 1-2-Bandido kicked out!
Andrade smashed Bandido with a Meteora in the corner for a
two count! Bandido countered The DM into a near-fall!
Bandido and Andrade battled on the top, but Bandido grabbed
Andrade and flipped over for a Revolution Fly! Andrade
kicked out just in time! Bandido hit the X-Knee! Bandido
tried for another 21 Plex, but Andrade was waiting with a
back elbow! Bandido kicked out! Bandido slipped away from
Andrade and grabbed him in a fireman’s carry, only to drop
him backwards into a rolling heel kick!
Andrade was face-down on the mat near the ropes, so Bandido
still went for a 21 Plex, but did so by deadlifting Andrade
off the mat! Andrade kicked out to keep the match alive!
Bandido hit another X-Knee! He tried another 21 Plex, but
Andrade landed on his feet! Andrade hit a huge back elbow!
He quickly brought Bandio to the turnbuckles and hit a
devastating avalanche DM for the pinfall victory!
Tornado Trios Match: Roderick Strong, Orange Cassidy & Darby
Allin def. The Dogs (“War Ready” Gabe Kidd, “100 Proof”
Clark Connors and David Finlay)
After all six men made their way out, the Dogs remained on
the floor, so Strong, Cassidy and Allin went out to meet
them, and this Tornado Trios Match was off to a hot start!
Cassidy nearly beat Connors with a small package, but
Connors kicked out and blasted Cassidy out of the ring.
Strong and Kidd traded chops until Kidd bit Strong’s hand
and flapjacked him before throwing a mean right to knock
Strong to the floor.
Allin caught Kidd with a Code Red, but Finlay was there to
break up the pin. He punished Allin with a backbreaker and
then caught a diving Cassidy with a release suplex. Finlay
hit Strong with a backbreaker, but Allin broke up the pin.
Kidd and Connors got taken out by a springboard back elbow
from Allin. Allin sent Finlay crashing into the corner with
a shotgun dropkick, only for Connors to spear him through
the ropes to the floor! Kidd and Finlay combined for a
Doomsday Device on Allin, so Strong came in to break up the
pin. Cassidy was thrown into the barricade, while Strong was
down on the floor.
That left Allin by himself against The Dogs, who tied the
tag rope around his neck! That made Allin a sitting duck as
the Dogs took turns punishing him in the corner. Cassidy
finally got back in and tried a weak chop, but he kept
getting knocked back to the mat. Cassidy got up again and
raised his hands, but Strong used that distraction to run
through all three members of The Dogs! Strong used Cassidy
as a battering ram and sent Finlay into Cassidy for a
dropkick. Cassidy hit a DDT on Kidd and another on Connors
with some help from Strong, who then picked up Connors and
dropped him chest-first on Cassidy’s knees!
Cassidy found a toolbox under the ring and cut Allin loose
from the corner! Allin immediately went to the top rope and
took out The Dogs with a Coffin Drop to the floor! Strong
hit a backbreaker on Connors for a nearfall and quickly
transitioned into the Strong Hold. Cassidy got Finlay in a
choke while Allin put Kidd in the Scorpion Death Lock.
Finlay broke up the other two submissions while holding
Cassidy on his back! He broke free of Cassidy by slamming
him into the corner. All six men started brawling again,
with Kidd pushing Allin over the top rope to the floor.
Cassidy hit Connors with a Stundog Millionaire, but Connors
came right back with a spear! On the floor, Kidd tried to
hit Allin with Allin’s skateboard, but Allin stopped it.
Kidd tried to suplex Allin off the ramp, but Allin pushed
him off to the floor. He used his skateboard to stomp Kidd
in the back of the head from off the ramp!
Back in the ring, Strong was speared by Connors as Finlay
chop-blocked him in a brutal high-low, but Cassidy dove in
to break the pin just in time. Finlay nailed Cassidy with a
dominator. Connors put Strong down with a brainbuster and
threw him to Finlay for an Overkill! Finlay covered Strong,
but Allin came off the top with a Coffin Drop to break up
the pin! Back up the ramp, we saw that Kidd’s arm was
trapped in the stage, apparently thanks to Allin! Allin dove
to the floor with a battering ram on Finlay! Connor ate a
knee from Strong, followed by an Orange Punch by Cassidy and
an End of Heartache by Strong to get the pinfall and win!
Allin went back up the ramp and taunted Kidd, who was still
trapped!
AEW World Championship Texas Death Match: MJF (c) def.
“Hangman” Adam Page
After being played onto the stage by a live trumpet player,
Page walked down the ramp with barbed wire wrapped around
his arm, which he appeared to take a bite of on his way to
the ring. Before MJF entered, we saw a video of MJF riding a
horse and then urinating on a makeshift tombstone for Page.
MJF entered with a cowboy hat, poncho and red, black and
white-striped pants, which was not only a taunt to Page, but
a reference to the late, great Terry Funk. This was also
MJF’s 30th birthday.
At the bell, Page was all over MJF and stomped him in the
corner. MJF bailed to the floor and went into the crowd, but
Page followed him out and pounded away on MJF. MJF was
already bleeding from the mouth. Page tossed him back into
the ringside area, so MJF tried to get away in the ring.
Page grabbed a trash can lid, but MJF cut him off and
knocked him to the mat. MJF tried to embarrass Page by
running his crotch into Page’s face, but when MJF taunted
the crowd, Page got back to his feet. He chased MJF from the
ring, and they did a lap around before Page just stopped,
and MJF didn’t notice, so he ran right into a lid shot from
Page. The referee started the 10-count as Page found a
staple gun! MJF rolled back in to break the count, but Page
went right over to him and used a card to inflict nasty
papercuts on the webbing of MJF’s fingers! Then Page stapled
the card to MJF’s chest, revealing it was a birthday card!
Page pulled MJF up and then ripped the card off his chest!
Page searched around the floor and uncovered a window! He
propped it up in the corner and went back over to MJF, who
ripped at Page’s eyes and sent him to the mat. MJF grabbed
the window and broke it in the middle of the ring before
throwing the frame to the floor. MJF and Page both tried to
slam each other into the glass, but it was Page who
succeeded, and MJF had a back full of glass! As MJF lay in
the glass, the referee started the count, but Page tried to
grab MJF. MJF kicked him away and tried to escape. Page
grabbed MJF and dragged him all over the broken glass! Page
retrieved the barbed wire and wrapped it across his arm
before blasting MJF in the head. Page wrapped the barbed
wire around MJF’s face, which was now covered in blood! MJF
got to the floor, so Page went out and set up a table. MJF
sat in a chair next to the barricade, and when Page came
over, MJF sent him into the seat of the chair with a drop
toehold.
Back in the ring, MJF grabbed a shard of glass and violently
ran it across Page’s head! He used the glass to stab Page’s
head, which was also now pouring blood! MJF slammed Page on
the glass and dragged him around on it before leaving the
ring to get…a broom? While Page tried to lift himself back
up, MJF cleared the ring of glass and tried to break the
broom over Page’s head, but Page stopped him and broke the
broom over his own knee! He tried to attack MJF with a
broken piece, so MJF bit him and used a jagged edge to hit
Page in the head.
MJF slammed a chair over Page’s back twice and then got a
long syringe. He put the needle through Page’s cheek and
left it there! MJF tried to crush Page’s head with the
chair, but Page got back up to stop him. Page nailed MJF
with a couple of chair shots as the referee started the
count again. Page brought a barbed-wire-covered chair into
the ring and tried to set MJF for a Deadeye on it, but MJF
reversed it into an Alabama Slam on the barbed-wire chair!
Page beat the 10 count, so MJF went to the floor and set up
a table. MJF tried to set up Page for a tombstone from the
apron, but Page punched free and pulled MJF back in the
ring. MJF broke free and pushed Page to the apron. MJF
kicked Page through the ropes and tried for a Heat Seeker,
so Page escaped it and dropped MJF on the barbed-wire chair
with a Deadeye! That wasn’t enough, so Page slammed it over
MJF’s back twice and then hit a fallaway slam onto the same
chair propped up in the corner.
MJF rolled to the outside, so Page went to the top with the
chair and attempted a moonsault onto MJF on the floor. But
Page lost control of the chair on the way down, which
allowed MJF to pick it up and throw it at Page’s face! Page
broke free of MJF on the apron and then grabbed him for a
Deadeye through the table! Both men are down, and the
referee is counting both men! Page was up in plenty of time,
but MJF needed every second to get back up to break the
count before immediately collapsing again. They wound up on
the opposite side of the ring on the apron, where MJF put
Page through a table on the floor with a tombstone. Page was
left in the rubble, and MJF clutched his knee.
Page stumbled up to break the count, and both men returned
to the ring. They exchanged shots until Page put MJF back on
the mat with a pop-up powerbomb! He tried for a Buckshot
Lariat, but MJF ducked and poked Page in the eye! They
knocked each other back to the mat and rolled to opposite
sides of the floor to break the count. They both ended up
with light tubes and appeared to be heading towards the
ring, but when Page got in, MJF decided better and went up
the ramp. Page stalked after him, and both men missed swings
with the light tube until Page broke his over MJF’s back!
Page took MJF’s light tube and smashed it over his head! MJF
appeared to be bleeding even more as a result, and Page
fought him to the edge of the stage. MJF got away, and Page
beat him back down to the ring. MJF got back in the ring
while Page produced a fist full of skewers! They struggled
back and forth until Page stuck all of them on the top of
MJF’s head.
“And he just got his hair done!” said the great Bryan
Danielson on commentary.
MJF turned around into the Buckshot Lariat! The referee
began his count, and somehow MJF stumbled to the ropes to
stay alive before we heard “10!” Page went back under the
ring to get a black bag, which contained a double dog
collar! He put one collar on MJF and the other on himself!
MJF realized what had happened and began having flashbacks
to his last double dog collar match four years ago,
prompting him to yell, “Not again!” Page pulled MJF back in
the ring from the apron and pounded away at his head. While
MJF was a bloody heap on the apron, Page set up another
table, but he wasn’t done. Page pulled a barbed-wire-covered
board from under the ring and put it on the table. He
grabbed MJF for a Deadeye from the apron, but MJF got out of
it, and the two went back and forth on the apron in a very
precarious position. Page kicked free of MJF and put himself
on the second turnbuckle, but MJF pulled him down through
the barbed-wire board and table! Page managed to get to his
feet briefly to break the count!
MJF beat Page up the ramp, and they fought to the top of the
stage. As they exchanged shots near the edge, Page grabbed
MJF in a belly-to-belly and jumped off the stage through a
table that set off electrical explosions as they also broke
through an abundance of equipment. Somehow, both men got up
at nine, but Page literally dog-walked MJF back to the ring
and dragged him up to the apron. He threw MJF back in the
ring and went for a Buckshot Lariat, but came right down on
a low blow from MJF!
MJF grabbed the Triple B and smashed it across Page’s head!
Page appeared to be down and out, but got back up with a
bolt of energy and a crazed look in his blood-soaked eyes!
Page pulled MJF into a low blow and cracked him across the
skull with the AEW World Title! MJF is down! Page is back on
the apron, and he is feeling it! As Page went to go up, MJF
knocked him back to the apron and then kicked him down,
which put Page in the same choked position he had Jon Moxley
in at All In Texas to win the AEW World Title! Page appeared
to pass out, so MJF let him go, and Page’s head bounced off
a camera, leaving his blood all over the lens! Page could
not answer the ten count, and the referee called for the
bell! MJF retained the AEW World Championship, as the
Dynamite Diamond Ring was seen on his finger. However, as a
result of the pre-match agreement, Page can never challenge
for the AEW World Title again!
As Page was loaded onto a stretcher, MJF got on top of it
and posed with the AEW World Championship as Revolution came
to a close!
