AEW REVOLUTION RESULTS – MARCH 9, 2025
The “Zero Hour” pre-show is now underway. Renee Paquette, RJ City, Jeff Jarrett and Paul Walter Hauser welcome us to the show.
They run down the lineup as the official match graphics for each bout flashes on the screen. Afterwards, we settle in with the four pre-show personalities, who begin giving in-depth breakdowns on some of tonight’s bouts.
Multiple actors and actresses from the new “Queen of the Ring” biopic about legendary women’s wrestler Mildred Burke join Paquette, City, Jarrett and Hauser to talk about the movie and their thoughts on pro wrestling in general. Afterwards, a video package airs promoting Mercedes Mone vs. Momo Watanabe for the TBS title airs.
QT Marshall Throws Drink On Paul Walter Hauser
Harley Cameron joins the panel and as always, brings a ton of annoying hot girl energy to the mix. She babbles about puppets and other nonsense until finally the man who trained her, QT Marshall is introduced holding a red solo cup.
He talks with Paul Walter Hauser about being tired of celebrities like Big Boom A.J. wrestling. They should stick to pre-shows and leave wrestling to the wrestlers. Hauser says he wouldn’t say that if Marshall got a role in a film. Marshall and Hauser go back-and-forth until the others bring up Hauser doing some independent wrestling.
Marshall says there’s a difference between wrestling in a sold out Crypto.com Arena and in a local bingo hall. The panelists convince Hauser to show his lock-up skills on Marshall. Marshall allows it, but then Hauser snatches a side head lock to have some fun.
Marshall says he gave an inch and Hauser took a mile. He splashes the drink in his red solo cup on him and leaves. Hauser takes his mic and headset off and leaves as well.
Lee Johnson & Blake Christian vs Komander & Hologram
Things are sent down to ringside, where Excalibur, Taz and Tony Schiavone welcome us to the commentary desk and quickly react to what just happened with Hauser and Marshall.
From there, the ring entrances for Blake Christian and Lee Johnson take place. The duo settles in the ring and wait for their opposition. The theme for their opponents hits and out comes the team of Komander and Hologram.
The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one. After the initial back-and-forth action out of the gate, Komander and Hologram hit a high spot on the floor. Komander takes over on Johnson as the legal two men in the ring.
Johnson tags out and Christian beats down the masked high-flyer at ringside, before bringing him back into the ring and isolating his arm. He goes to work on the arm as the fans in L.A. try and rally behind the luchador.
Moments later, Hologram goes for a hurricanrana on the hard part of the ring apron outside of the ropes, but upon beginning the flip portion of the spot, the back of his head savagely whacks the apron and he just eats total sh*t. Ouch.
Johnson took over from there, but Hologram eventually recovered and continued, quickly tagging out and bringing Komander in. Komander walks the ropes and goes for a senton, but Christian moves and counters with a cutter.
Komander hits a destroyer and then a leaping back-flip off the top-rope to Johnson on the floor. Hologram hits a 450 splash off the top-rope onto Christian in the ring for the pin. Good match to set the tone for the crowd in the building.
Winners: Komander & Hologram
Renee Paquette Interviews Queen of the Ring’s Ash Avildsen
Once the match wraps up, Renee Paquette is standing by with the writer and creator of the Queen of the Ring movie on the life and career of women’s wrestling legend Mildred Burke — Ash Avildsen.
Avildsen cuts a promo with a ton of energy about “Timeless” Toni Storm vs. Mariah May in the “Hollywood Ending” trilogy bout for the AEW Women’s World Championship, as well as how fans can watch his movie in theaters for four more days.
Daniel Garcia & Adam Cole & Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly vs. Shane Taylor, The Infantry & Lee Moriarty
“Daddy Magic” Matt Menard joins the gang on special guest commentary as we gear up for the next match of the evening. With that said, Shane Taylor comes out with Lee Moriarty and The Infantry. They wait in the ring for their opponents.
We then hear the familiar sounds of The Undisputed Kingdom’s theme music, and out comes Adam Cole, Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly. TNT Champion Daniel Garcia comes out next, as Menard puts his cheerleader persona in action.
The bell sounds and off we go. Strong and Bravo kick things off for their respective teams. Strong isolates Bravo’s arm and goes to work on it. Bravo gets in between the ropes and demands the referee get him off of him.
Strong chops away at Bravo and then tags in O’Reilly, who picks up where he left off with some chops and kicks. After a few more minutes of hard-hitting back-and-forth action, Garcia gets the win for his team.
The problem? It was with a submission after Cole seemingly had it won already with a Panama Sunrise. Garcia celebrates outside of the ring as The Undisputed Kingdom stare him down. Taz mocks Menard one more time before he leaves the desk.
Winners: Daniel Garcia & Adam Cole & Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly
ROH World Championship
Chris Jericho (c) vs. Gravity
In what can only be considered a bad Samuel L. Jackson narration parody, a video package airs with a ton of f-bombs and mother-f-bombs from an off-screen narrator talking about how bad The Hurt Syndicate are, as we see footage of them in the gym, to promote the tag-team title tilt tonight against The Outrunners.
Afterwards, the show returns inside the arena where Gravity makes his way out, stopping to hug his family members at ringside. He settles inside the squared circle as the commentators talk about his close relationship with Bandido.
The theme for the reigning and defending ROH World Champion hits and out comes “The Learning Tree” Chris Jericho, complete with Big Bill and Bryan Keith behind him. Fire and pyro explodes as they make their way down the entrance aisle and towards the ring, for our next match of the evening.
As soon as they enter the ring, Jericho walks up and blatantly hits Gravity with the bat, which is immediately followed by Bill and Keith immediately beating him down alongside him in three-on-one fashion.
The referee calls for the bell, throwing this out before it gets started. Bandido runs out to make the save, but gets gobbled up as well. Jericho also unmasks Gravity, who tries covering his face while Jericho beats him down with the bat, all-the-while Bill holds Bandido and makes him watch.
The mother and sister of Gravity hits the ring while Bandido tries to hide Gravity’s face. Jericho sees this and picks up his bat and in evil fashion looks at it. He tells the ladies to “watch this” and then kicks Gravity in the head. He triumphantly holds Gravity’s mask up to a ton of boos from the L.A. crowd.
Winner: No Contest
Big Boom A.J. & Mark Briscoe & Orange Cassidy vs. Johnny TV & MxM Collection
After that despicable scene, the show cuts back to Renee Paquette and RJ City, who are by themselves in the pre-show panel now. The Zero Hour hosts introduces Yung Gravy, some rapper and apparently country music maker?
They talk to him about MJF and Hangman Page. Paquette asks him what else is going on, and he responds in monotone fashion, “Life. Chillin.” Invigorating. Mercifully, that is over.
Inside the arena again, Johnny TV and MxM Collection come out for the final match of the Zero Hour pre-show. They settle in the ring and then the theme for Mark Briscoe hits and out he comes. Orange Cassidy’s tune plays next and out he comes with The Rizzler dressed up just like him for an insanely loud pop.
I’m definitely old. Still only know Big Boom A.J. and The Rizzler, The Costco Guys, and all of them, as “those TikTok or whatever famous dudes who appear in AEW.” Anyways, Big Boom A.J. comes out with theme music that seemed to be annoyingly performed by the son, Big Justice.
The bell sounds and Cassidy and Johnny TV kick things off for their respective teams. Johnny does some breakdancing for some reason and then poses to the crowd. Cassidy does his hands up and down in the pockets routine for a big pop. He then goes to work on offense with his hands still in the pockets.
Cassidy stops at one point to pop a squat next to The Rizzler and Big Justice, and eats a bite of a big cookie with them. Mansoor ends up coming over and yanking it out of Riz’s hands and slamming it on the floor. He got sent flying over the commentary desk for his efforts seconds later.
After several more minutes of back-and-forth action, things culminate with a multi-run-in finish, which saw Big Justice help his pops and his team win the match. Afterwards, the celebrity team were joined by celebrities from The Righteous Gemstones, who came out and helped during a post-match angle that saw The Murder Machines teasing a beatdown of Big Boom A.J.
Winners: Big Boom A.J. & Mark Briscoe & Orange Cassidy
MJF vs. Hangman Page
The pay-per-view cold open video package plays to get things switched over from the “Zero Hour” pre-show to the main show for this evening. Afterwards, we head back inside the Crypto.com Arena where it’s time for the first PPV bout of the evening. Hangman Page and MJF make their respective entrances.
After the bell sounds, MJF and Page meet in the middle and start wildly trading strikes. Hangman gets the better of things, beating MJF down in the corner and then putting the boots to him. MJF pulls the referee in front of him. Hangman pushes the referee away, but as he does, MJF eye-gouges Hangman and takes over.
MJF then goes after the face of the Hangman now, bringing him to his feet only to drop him back down, but an angry Page gets to his feet, going for a sleeper hold on Friedman. Max fights back, dropping Adam to the mat for a nearfall before going for a choke until the ref intervenes. Page back to his feet as he goes back after MJF, who catches him with a powerbomb backbreaker combo for a close nearfall.
Friedman hits the ropes for speed before, front bumping Page in the face. He mocks the Hangman as a short cut in the feed takes us to Page getting back to his feet, laying into MJF with some right hands before Friedman takes him to the mat. He continues to mock the Hangman, who responds with a fall away slam sending MJF to the canvas. Both men are down, but Page kips up as MJF slowly gets to his feet.
Page fights back, eventually sending Friedman off the apron to the outside for a dive. Page goes back to work on MJF before climbing the turnbuckle for a big moonsault, taking Max back to the floor. He then brings him back into the ring, looking for a Buckshot Lariat, but MJF retreats to the corner. Page charges at him in the corner, but MJF strikes back with a water wheel slam and a DDT for the two count.
MJF looks for a vertical suplex but Page counters into a small package, leading to both men trading pin attempts. MJF counters out of one Dead Eye attempt, but Page catches him the second time around…but it’s only good for a two count before MJF kicks out. Page back to his feet as is MJF, who looks for a Heatseeker, only for Page to lay him out with a Buckshot Lariat. Cover by Page, and MJF gets his foot on the rope to break the pin.
Page brings MJF back to his feet, laying into him with a right hand and a lariat before going to the apron for another Buckshot, but MJF escapes to the outside. Page leaves the ring to pursue him, bringing MJF back into the ring, but MJF catches him with the Salt of the Earth submission. The armbar is locked in tight as Page reaches for the ropes, only for MJF to bring him back to the center.
Page gets to a vertical base as he struggles to fight back, before MJF rolls through to cinch the hold even deeper in the middle of the ring. Page crawls toward the ropes, finally reaching the bottom rope with his leg to force the break as we see how much damage has been done. MJF leaves the ring, stealing the headset from Schiavone to tell everyone he’s the f’ing man around here, before going back after Page.
He goes for a moonsault off the barricade, but Page counters as he looks for a tombstone piledriver, only for MJF to counter for a running tombstone of his own, sending Page onto a chair. With the Hangman down, MJF heads back to the ring before the ref begins the count. Doc Sampson checks on Page as the count reaches nine before he leaps back into the ring just in time to avoid this one being called.
It looks like MJF is about to cry as he realizes Hangman isn’t done yet. MJF yells about the fans choosing Page instead of him and throws a mild tantrum then tries the Heatseeker but Page counters by walking through the ropes and hitting another Dead Eye then an Angel’s Wings with a rough landing for MJF. Page pulls himself to the apron and wants the Buckshot Lariat instead of trying to pin, MJF staggers up and Page hits the Buckshot Lariat to win.
Winner: Hangman Page
TBS Championship
Mercedes Mone (c) vs. Momo Watanabe
Now it’s time for our first championship bout of the evening. The pre-match video package airs to set the stage for the showdown between “The CEO” Mercedes Moné and Japanese women’s wrestling star Momo Watanabe, with the TBS Championship up for grabs.
The two make their respective ring walks and then the bell sounds to get things officially off-and-running. Moné takes the challenger to the corner, mocking her before Momo goes back on the attack. The champ quickly goes on the offensive once again, but Watanabe counters out before hitting the ropes.
Moné does her little dance without noticing Momo behind her, and the challenger makes her pay sending her to the mat before mocking the champ. This riles Mercedes up as she gets a headlock on the challenger, before hitting the ropes for a shoulder tackle sending her to the canvas.
Momo fights back to go to the ropes, but the champ catches her with a one count. Momo back to her feet, crossface chicken wing locked in on the champ until Mercedes fights back for a headscissors to sneak a nearfall attempt. The challenger responds with a kick to the face for a cover, but Moné manages to avoid being finished off.
As the action continues, Mercedes takes over and sets up for a nearfall before we get a look at Billie Starkz watching on. Back in the ring, Momo fights to her feet to break out of the hold, eventually dropping Moné to the mat for a close nearfall. The champ retreats to the corner as Momo charges toward her.
Moné fights back, going for the Three Amigos. Momo turns this around on Mercedes, hitting a solid vertical suplex in the process. Mercedes fights out of this, but is set up in the tree of woe by the challenger, who lays in some hard kicks to the midsection of the champ. Mercedes drops to the canvas as Watanabe backs off.
We see the two trade offensive leads a few more times. Moné manages to send Momo to the corner, but Momo turns it back around sending the champ away before hitting a big dropkick not once but twice. Cover by Momo, but Mercedes manages to kick out at two. Momo mocks the CEO’s dance before laying in some more kicks on the champ, who tries to fight back for a nearfall.
Instead, Watanabe catches her with another cross-face chicken-wing! Moné is struggling to break the hold, managing to roll through to get a nearfall that forces the break. The champ gets a chin-lock to wear Momo down, but the challenger manages to fight back eventually sending Mercedes to the corner. Watanabe catches her with a Meteora on the apron, but it’s only good for a two count.
Mercedes is sent to the corner once more as Momo charges at her, but Moné rolls through for a Statement Maker. The cross-face locked in even tighter this time as Watanabe struggles toward the ropes. Mercedes rolls through to bring her back to center, but Momo counters into a cross-face chicken-wing, only for Mercedes to fight out with a powerbomb.
Mercedes tries a pin, but only gets two. Moments later, the champ blasts Momo and connects with her Money-Maker finisher. She isn’t satisfied with that, though, and opts to add insult to injury, locking in her statement submission finisher, eliciting the tap and picking up the win to retain her TBS title. Billie Starkz is shown watching on backstage once again.
Winner and STILL TBS Champion: Mercedes Moné
AEW World Championship No. 1 Contender Match
Swerve Strickland vs. Ricochet
The show keeps quickly rolling on, as with the Mercedes victory out of the way, the commentators quickly shift gears and introduce the pre-match video package for our next match of the evening. Gotta do things quick to fit in 14 to 19 matches on a six and a half to eight-hour wrasslin’ show!
Once the package wraps up, we return inside the Crypto.com Arena where we hear the familiar sounds of Ricochet’s theme song. Out he comes as Leslie Jones and other celebrities in L.A. in attendance are shown in the crowd. He settles inside the squared circle and his music dies down.
Now someone is shown doing a random drum solo, and while he’s killing it, it’s anyone’s guess who it is or why he just did that. Anyways, he hits the crash symbols a bunch to finish up his pointless drum solo, and then Swerve’s theme hits. He seems to try and play the drums as the rap beat kicks in, but it sounds off as hell and god-awful. Cool idea, awful execution?
The music, which sounds like when two songs are accidentally playing at the same time and you can’t figure out how to stop it, finally, mercifully, ends. The bell sounds and the loud “You’re bald!” chants break out and spread throughout the arena aimed at Ricochet. The two finally engage after a staredown, and this one gets going.
Both guys try their finishers almost immediately, before they settle into the action. Both men avoid early finisher attempts then Swerve lands a shoulder block. Ricochet rolls to the floor and recovers his composure until Swerve goes after him and they wind up back in the ring with some mutual acrobatics until Swerve hits a reverse Shock Treatment. Swerve with some slaps to Ricochet’s head then he heads up top for a diving back elbow to the back of Ricochet’s head.
European uppercut to the back as well from Swerve. Ricochet pulls Swerve into the middle buckle then lands a back suplex. Ricochet warns Nana away from the robe he stole then boots Swerve and slaps him for good measure. Swerve clotheslines Ricochet out of the ring then follows him and unloads with punches against the barricade. Nana tries to stop Swerve and Swerve accidentally knocks him down.
Swerve apologizes but Nana isn’t happy and walks off as Ricochet then hits a House Call off the barricade. Back in the ring Ricochet lands a springboard clothesline then Lionsault for a 2 count. Nana is walking up the ramp and actually leaves the ring area. Ricochet sends Swerve into the corner chest first and poses. Swerve fights up and clocks Ricochet with an elbow then a chop.

Chin lock from Ricochet, Swerve counters into a backbreaker then a lovely looking dropkick and both men are down. Swerve fires up with clotheslines then they hit the ropes and Swerve avoids a Cutter then picks up Ricochet for a suplex and a two count.
Ricochet hits the ropes and lands a discus lariat then heads up top only for Swerve to punch him. Swerve climbs up with Ricochet and clubs at him while they set up an elaborate spot resulting in noting as Ricochet falls to the apron then hits a kick and a lovely springboard hurricanrana for a two count then Swerve hoists Ricochet up and hits a powerbomb then again and switches to a spinning powerslam but all that only for a near fall. They head to the apron and Ricochet lands a back elbow then tries a kick but Swerve catches it and lands a head kick.
Ricochet then hits a poisoned rana on the apron and both men tumble to the floor. They nearly head back into the ring then Ricochet sends Swerve onto the Spanish announce table. Ricochet joins Swerve on the table and tries a powerbomb but Swerve fights free and punches Ricochet, Ricochet then lands a kick but gets caught in a lovely Vertebreaker on the table which does not break. They head back into the ring, Swerve looks for a Swerve Stomp and connects with it but only a near fall. Swerve sets for a House Call but Ricochet just flops to his face and then tries a low blow.
Swerve blocks it so Ricochet hits the rolling Northern Lights suplex into a Brainbuster. Ricochet heads up top, 630 senton connects but only a near fall again. Ricochet can’t believe it, and Nana runs down to get the rope as Swerve rolls up Ricochet for 2. Nana dons the robe, then Ricochet hits a suicide dive onto Nana and reclaims the robe then dons it and catches a diving Swerve with a Death Valley Driver, nice spot. Ricochet mocks the career of Ken Jeong, the most baby face thing that man as ever done.
Swerve and Ricochet head into the ring, Ricochet still wearing the robe and hits Vertigo but only another near fall. Ricochet can’t believe it and sets for the Spirit Gun but Nana grabs the robe to stifle that and Ricochet pulls him into the ring and they fight over the robe. Swerve with a roll up for two, then Ricochet runs Swerve into Nana and rolls him up for two. From there, Swerve hits a House Call. And another. He follows up with Big Pressure for the win. Afterwards, Swerve gives Nana his robe back.

Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. Brody King
Now it’s time for another championship clash, as Kazuchika Okada puts his AEW Continental Championship on-the-line against Brody King. The pre-match video package airs and when it wraps up, The Hounds of Hell’s big man makes his way to the ring for his big title opportunity. “The Rainmaker” is out next to the coin drop. The bell sounds and off we go.

They head back into the ring, the title is in a corner.
Brody lands a senton for a 2 count. Okada tries to fight back with a boot but misses a dropkick and Brody wipes him out with a lariat then Okada blocks a powerbomb with the Air Raid neck-breaker. Once again Okada heads up top and hits an elbow drop then gives us the bird instead of a pose. Okada tries the Rainmaker but Brody ducks, then scoops him up and hits a corner Death Valley Driver and follows with a cannonball senton in the corner but that only gets a two count.
They head to the apron and Okada lands a back body drop then as they’re on the floor he hits a shotgun dropkick to send Brody into the barricade. They head back into the ring and Okada has a chair, the ref takes it from him and Okada lands a belt shot as the ref disposed of the chair and that only gets a near fall. Okada tries the Rainmaker but Brody counters with a stiff clothesline of his own.
He tries the Ganso Bomb but Okada slips free only for Brody to land a headbutt which staggers both men. Brody with a corner avalanche then tries another cannonball senton but Okada intercepts with a nice looking dropkick. Rainmaker connects. The champion retains in a very basic match.

AEW World Tag-Team Championship
The Hurt Syndicate (c) vs. The Outrunners
We waste no time moving on to the pre-match package to set the stage for another title tilt, this time in the tag-team division. The Hurt Syndicate duo of Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin, led by MVP, make their way to the ring after their challengers, The Outrunners. The bell sounds and off we go.
Shelton and Truth start things off for their respective teams. Shelton avoids a shoulder block but Truth then kicks him and hits a suplex but Shelton no sells it and pops up then hits a scoop slam. Floyd tags in and punches Shelton a few times before hitting the ropes and then trying an O’Connor Roll but Shelton hits a knee lift.

Bobby spikes Truth then Shelton hits the corner knee to set up a Bobby Spear. Floyd then takes the same combination and that’ll do it for what was essentially a squash match.
Winners and STILL AEW World Tag-Team Champions: The Hurt Syndicate
AEW Women’s World Championship (Hollywood Ending)
“Timeless” Toni Storm (c) vs. Mariah May
The stage is quickly set for another championship clash, this time one promising a “Hollywood Ending,” as it’s time for the trilogy title tilt between “Timeless” Toni Storm and “The Glamour” Mariah May. There are no disqualifications, no count outs, no rope breaks and falls count anywhere in the building.
Jim Ross joins the gang on special guest commentary for this one. These two get things off to an immediate start, colliding before the ring entrances even finish up, with things quickly escalating from there. May attacks Storm. A Hollywood “sign” turns out to be a a table that May sets up, before she lays into the Timeless One some more. She drops Storm to the stage for a nearfall, before revealing a taser.
Before she can use it, Luther takes the weapon away from the challenger! She responds with a dropkick that sends the butler over another table off the side of the stage, allowing Mariah to focus her attention back on the champ…who catches her for a powerbomb off the stage and through a production table! Storm eventually gets a cover, but May manages to kick out. Storm has a look of cruel intentions as she pulls May toward ringside, only for Mariah to fight back before being sent herself into the barricade by the champ.
Storm sets her challenger up on the barricade, but May dodges a running hip attack before pulling Toni into the ring steps with a Storm Zero! With the champ still down, Mariah pulls out a chain from under the ring. We soon see the effects of that piledriver as Toni is busted open, pleasing the challenger as she brings Storm back into the ring.
She sets the champ up in the tree of woe, propping a chair she retrieved up against Toni before hitting a low dropkick. The champ now sports a crimson mask as she starts fighting back, reaching under the ring for more “props” in the form of a champagne bucket with a broken glass bottle and a big roll of tape.
Another bucket has been brought out as we soon realize this has become what some fans will know as a Taipei Death Match…as champ and challenger tape up a fist each, putting glass on it to trade the most dangerous of strikes on each other. Storm gets the advantage here as grabs the bottleneck to attack her challenger.
She hits her right between the legs with another broken bottle! Things have really gotten out of hand here as the action heads to the corner, where May catches Toni with a hurricanrana that sends the champ onto a pile of the broken glass.
Mariah hits a Mayday on Toni, but it’s only good for a two count as the champ gets a shoulder up. They fight up to the top of the entrance ramp again, where a table set up on cinder blocks is shown. Storm ends up blasting May with a shoe over and over again and then putting her through the table set up with a Storm Zero for the win.
Maybe the bloodiest women’s match of all-time. Storm lays on top of May with both covered in blood for long after the pin. Epic.
Winner and STILL AEW Women’s World Champion: “Timeless” Toni Storm
AEW International Championship
Konosuke Takeshita (c) vs. Kenny Omega
After a video trailer airs promoting AEW Dynasty 2025, we quickly move on to the pre-match video package for our next championship clash, this time featuring the AEW International Championship on-the-line. Kenny Omega makes his grand entrance first to a big reaction. Konosuke Takeshita is out next accompanied by Don Callis.
Callis heads over and joins Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Taz for special guest commentary for this title tilt. The bell sounds and the two share an intense face-to-face before getting after it. Takeshita lays in some hard strikes on Omega, but the challenger responds in kind leading to an exchange that ends with a shoulder tackle by the champ sending Kenny down hard.
Omega fights back once more, charging into the champ who takes a breather on the outside. Omega hits a dive onto the Alpha. Omega continues the attack before Takeshita turns it around, sending the Best Bout Machine into the barricade before bringing him back into the ring. Cover by Konosuke gets a two count. Kenny heads to the ropes but is intercepted by Takeshita, who attacks him before the ref intervenes.
Omega is dropped with a DDT as Konosuke gets a nearfall, before sending him to the outside near the announce table. Takeshita distracts the ref while Callis goes on the attack, only for Omega to fight back and this hurts Don’s hand while Takeshita brings the challenger back in the ring for a chin-lock. Kenny fights back to his feet, trading strikes with Takeshita before heading to the ropes to send the champ face first into the turnbuckle.
The champ fights back, catching Omega with a knee to abdomen for a nearfall. He sends Kenny to the corner, driving his shoulder into the midsection of the challenger before Omega fights back…only to be sent back to the corner, where Konosuke pulls him in for a big slam onto the mat. Takeshita leaves the ring, pulling a table out from underneath the apron as the ref tries to intervene. He goes back after Omega, but the challenger fights back to drop Takeshita to the apron before taking a breather on the floor.
He brings the champ back to his feet, hoisting him up for a rolling slam before going onto the barricade…but the Alpha drops him off, sending him into the front row! Doc Sampson checks on Omega as Takeshita gets back in the ring while the ref begins the count. He’s at six, seven, and eight when Omega makes it back in the ring, only for Takeshita to drop him for a nearfall.
He follows with a brainbuster for a two count. Body scissors by the champ as Omega tries to fight out, crawling toward the ropes before getting to his feet…and boxes the champ’s ears to break the hold. He evades Takeshita in the corner, taking him down to the canvas before getting to his feet. Konosuke and Kenny trade strikes, with Omega hitting a moonsault from the corner for a close pin attempt.
The action continues as the crowd starts to come alive again in the background. After several more minutes of back-and-forth action, which saw Callis leave the commentary desk and try to get involved on more than one occasion, things finally culminate with “The Cleaner” finishing off “The Alpha,” completing the storybook ending to his return from diverticulitis by capturing AEW International Championship in a feel-good moment after an epic battle.

Steel Cage Match
Will Ospreay vs. Kyle Fletcher
The pre-match video package airs to get things ready for the co-main event of the evening, which features the continuation of the bitter rivalry between former friends turned grudge-level enemies, as Kyle Fletcher of The Don Callis Family goes one-on-one against “The Aerial Assassin” Will Ospreay inside of the confines of a steel cage.
Each man makes their way out, with both starting things off on the top rope on opposing sides of the ring. Kind of like Undertaker and Mick Foley in a Diet, Caffeine-Free Hell in a Cell comparison. Don Callis re-joins the commentary crew on the call for this one, with Taz immediately busting his chops. Got to love it. The bell sounds and off we go.
Ospreay and Fletcher glare at each other and then charge at each other for a set of strikes before trading shoulder tackles off the ropes. They then trade off trying to hit the other against the cage wall. Ospreay in the corner as he realizes he can’t springboard off due to the wall, and this gives Fletcher an opening to strike…only to be pushed against the wall by Ospreay. Will goes to the ropes and hurts his ankle, giving Fletcher a chance to drop him with a clothesline.
Fletcher continues the attack until Ospreay strikes back, hitting Kyle with a Stundog Millionaire before the Protostar sends him face first into the cage wall. Ospreay is struggling here as Kyle plays to the crowd, and we get visual confirmation that Will is busted open as Fletcher continues to beat him down. He rubs Ospreay’s face against the cage and Will drops to the mat, as Kyle mocks the crowd by licking Ospreay’s blood off the cage.
He goes back on the attack now, laying in strikes on Ospreay before sending him to the corner…only for the Aerial Assassin to leap off to take him down. Now it’s Ospreay on the offensive, slamming Kyle repeatedly into the cage before hitting a Skytwister Press for a nearfall. He brings Fletcher up to his feet for some more strikes, sporting a crimson mask as he drops Kyle to the mat.
He brings his former best friend back up and props him against the cage wall for some chops, eventually forcing the Protostar to fall back to the canvas while Ospreay sets up for a Hidden Blade, only for Fletcher to catch him with a boot! Down goes Ospreay as Fletcher struggles back to his feet, removing a turnbuckle pad in the corner before looking to send Will into it.
Ospreay fights back, but is met with a running boot by Fletcher who sets him up on the turnbuckle…only to be dropped for some Cheeky Nando’s by Ospreay, who then sends him back into the cage wall. He eventually brings Fletcher back up to his feet for some kicks, followed by a big scoop slam before climbing the turnbuckle. Kyle intercepts, dropping Ospreay as he lands his little Aerial Assassins on the top rope.
This gives Fletcher an opening, but not for long as Ospreay fights him on the turnbuckle, slamming him against the cage wall to drop him to the canvas! Cancun Tornado by Ospreay for the cover, but Fletcher manages to kick out. Ospreay is firing up once more as he goes after Fletcher, but Kyle hangs him up by his little Ospreays once more on the top rope with a dropkick this time, with a powerbomb leading to a close nearfall for the Protostar.
As the action continues, Mark Davis hits the ring area with a bag of weapons, which are entered into the mix inside the ring. Ospreay ends up kicking the cage door into Davis’ dome. He yells “Bang! Bang!” like Cactus Jack and grabs barbie. He heads to Fletcher, who begs off. He pulls out a United Empire arm-band and begs off. Ospreay flips him off.
Ospreay charges at him with barbie, but Fletcher low-blows him. Fletcher wipes the blood off of his face with the arm band and stuffs it in Ospreay’s mouth. Ospreay fights back, but Davis re-enters the picture, covered in blood himself. He grabs Ospreay from behind and begins choking him. Ospreay fights his way free again and lays out Davis.
Callis gets a screwdriver and starts to take over. He goes to stab Ospreay with it, but Ospreay moves and he stabs it into the top turnbuckle, where it gets stuck. Fletcher opens up a steel chair and hits a scary looking brainbuster to Ospreay onto the chair. He goes for the cover, but somehow Ospreay kicks out.
Fletcher pulls out the dreaded black cloth bag. He presents it proudly and the crowd gasps. He dumps it out and we see it is a ton of thumbtacks. Ospreay counters whatever Fletcher tries to do, and gets him in position for a Styles Clash. He hits it onto all of the tacks as the crowd goes wild. He turns Fletcher over and covers him, but Fletcher kicks out.
Fletcher begins climbing the cage trying to escape, but Ospreay pulls the screwdriver out of the top turnbuckle. He puts it in his mouth and begins climbing up after him. The two sit on the tip-top of the cage, where Ospreay blasts Fletcher in the forehead with the screwdriver. Ospreay hits an insane flip spot to Fletcher off the very top of the cage. Scary stuff. Fletcher yells “F**k you! I f**king hate you!” from his knees. Ospreay blasts him with a hidden blade and finishes him off for an epic win.
Winner: Will Ospreay
AEW World Championship
Jon Moxley (c) vs. Cope
It’s main event time!
But first, for the 100th time this evening, AEW puts the actors and writer of the Queen Of The Ring on-camera to beg people to go see the movie while it’s still in theaters for a couple more days in a limited release. Bad look. Worse? Tony Schiavone interviews them and one of the actresses drops this gem on us. “The one thing I learned about wrestling is that you know who’s gonna win before we do!” So profound. Such an artist, ladies and gentlemen.
Mercifully, one of many, many “please give us press” segments of the evening wraps up. From there, the theme for COPE hits and out comes “The Rated-R Superstar” in a cool over-coat. He settles inside the squared circle as his music dies down. The crowd keeps singing the words to the theme, but seem to forget it a bit as they get going. They got loud again as “…chance to feel alive!” It fired up COPE, that’s for sure.
The theme for the reigning and defending AEW World Champion Jon Moxley hits next. Out comes the leader of The Death Riders through the crowd by himself with his title in a briefcase as usual. The commentators point out how Mox is walking alone for the first time since winning the title, due to COPE taking out The Death Riders members one-by-one.
Mox flips COPE off before anything happens. They trade wild strikes. COPE is dropped to a knee but responds in kind, and the two are fighting it out until the challenger is dropped to the mat. He makes it back to his feet as the champ curses him out before they trade strikes again, until Mox goes for a piledriver. COPE escapes to the ropes, eventually sending Mox over the top rope to the outside before following up with a baseball slide.
He climbs the turnbuckle for a cross body onto Mox, sending both men to the floor in the process. He gets back in the ring, but is soon intercepted by the champ for a choke hold. COPE fights out, sending the champ back to the outside before going after him…only to be sent crashing against the ring post by Mox. Mox catches him by surprise by pulling the challenger into the ring post, with COPE down as the champ mocks the announce team before going back after his opponent.
He slams COPE’s head against the barricade before sliding back into the ring, only to break the count by leaving once more. He brings COPE into the ring, propping him up on the apron for an elbow before bringing him back up…only to send him crashing onto the apron, a neck-breaker sending COPE down on the hardest part of the ring. Back in is the champ, still attacking the neck of the Rated R Superstar until COPE gets to the ropes.
Mox goes on the attack again until the ref intervenes, forcing a break from the champ. Mox continues to beat the challenger down, targeting the legs and then the previously injured neck as he mocks COPE throughout. Mox drives his knee into the upper back of COPE now, forcing him to retreat to the corner as he charges in…only for COPE to score a roll up for a nearfall. Mox turns it right back around, firmly in control as we get a shot of The Opps watching on up above.
Back in the ring, COPE fights back with an Impaler to try and get back into this match. He follows up with a lariat, but Mox is the first to his feet as the challenger takes him to the mat. He hits the ropes for a clothesline before taking the champ down hard for a nearfall. The action finds itself in the corner as COPE lands a superplex, but it’s only good for a two count as the challenger goes for the Grindhouse.
Mox struggles to crawl toward the ropes, eventually forcing a break in the process as COPE lets go of the crossface, only to take the champ down to the floor outside with a spear through the ropes. COPE tries to follow up with another spear, but is sent into the ring steps by Mox who yells into the camera that he’s about to send the challenger home in a wheelchair. Mox pulls some padding off the floor, but COPE counters a piledriver to send the champ to the floor with a back body drop instead.
It doesn’t take long for Mox to respond by sending the Rated R Superstar down to the exposed floor himself, causing some big damage as the champ looks at J.R. with a smile on his face before bringing COPE back into the ring. He goes for a bulldog choke but the challenger gets to his feet…only to be dropped with a piledriver as Mox goes for the cover for a two count. COPE is prone and this gives Mox an opening to lock up his Bulldog Choke. COPE begins to fade.
COPE comes to life and begins crawling toward the ropes, however, eventually grabbing a rope for the break. This leads to Mox arguing with the ref, shoving him away before leaving the ring for a steel chair. The ref is quick to get the chair away, as COPE rolls Mox up, only to be sent into the ref, who tumbles to the outside as Mox connects with a Paradigm Shift! With the ref still down, Mox leaves the ring for a pair of chairs before sliding back in the ring.
He sets up for a potential Con-Chair-To, until COPE kicks the chair right in the champ’s face. After Wheeler Yuta hits the ring, the crowd explodes. We’re teased on who he’s going to hit after he and COPE shared respect earlier. He blasts COPE and Mox laughs. He grabs the briefcase for Mox, but COPE begins coming to life.
Christian Cage appears out of nowhere and gets involved. He turns in his guaranteed title shot, finally. This is now a triple-threat. Mox ends up Bulldog Choking Christian Cage unconscious for the win to retain. The crowd didn’t like that finish at all. Not even a little bit. Mox exits the ring and hugs his title, still enclosed in a briefcase, while laying on the ground in the crowd. Mox stumbles through the crowd but sees Prince Nana, back in his robe again.
The two jaw at each other while a ton of security stands between them. The camera pans back and we see Swerve Strickland is standing on the barricade way up above the two on a balcony. He leaps with a huge flying Swerve Stomp to take out Mox and the security. He poses as his theme hits to end the show on a somewhat positive note. That’s how things wrap up, thanks for joining us!
Winner and STILL AEW World Champion: Jon Moxley
