Revolution is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event held annually by All Elite Wrestling (AEW) since 2020—it was originally held in late February but moved to early March in 2021. It is one of AEW's "Big Four" PPVs, which also includes Double or Nothing, All Out, and Full Gear, their four biggest domestic shows produced quarterly. [3] During the December 8, 2021, episode of Wednesday Night Dynamite , AEW announced that the third Revolution event would take place on March 6, 2022, at the Addition Financial Arena in Orlando, Florida. Additionally, the go-home episode of Friday Night Rampage on March 4 as well as a fanfest on March 5—which included a concert featuring songs from the recently released AEW music album Who We Are: A Celebration of Excellence, Volume 1—were all held at the same venue, with the three-day event being promoted as a "weekend spectacular." Tickets went on sale on December 17, 2021, with a limited number of combo packages for the three-day event also available. [4]

AEW partnered with Joe Hand Promotions to screen Revolution live across North America in select movie theaters. [5] Immediately following the March 4 episode of Rampage, TNT aired a thirty-minute television special called Countdown to Revolution that previewed the event.

Storylines

Revolution featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing feuds and storylines. [6] Storylines were produced on AEW's weekly television programs, Dynamite and Rampage, the supplementary online streaming shows, Dark and Elevation , and The Young Bucks' YouTube series Being The Elite .

On the February 9 episode of Dynamite, after successfully defending the AEW World Championship, "Hangman" Adam Page was confronted by Adam Cole, who indicated his intentions to challenge Page for the championship as he had reached the top of the rankings to become the number one contender. [7] The following week, the match was made official for Revolution. [8]

During Dynamite's debut episode on TBS on January 5, 2022, Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus) defeated The Lucha Brothers (Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fénix) to win the AEW World Tag Team Championship. [9] After numerous title defenses, it was announced on the February 16 episode that Jurassic Express would defend the title in a three-way tag team match at Revolution. Their opponents would be determined by a tag team battle royal on the February 23 episode and a Casino Tag Team Royale on the March 2 episode. [8] reDRagon (Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly) and The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson) won the respective matches. [10] [11]

On the November 17, 2021, episode of Dynamite, CM Punk began feuding with MJF. After Punk defeated all of the other members of MJF's stable The Pinnacle over the next few weeks, the two finally faced each other on the February 2, 2022, episode where MJF won thanks to assistance from Wardlow, giving Punk his first loss in AEW, which was also in Punk's hometown of Chicago. [12] On the February 9 episode, Punk demanded a rematch, which MJF would grant if Punk found a partner to defeat FTR (Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood) in a tag team match that night. Jon Moxley was revealed as Punk's partner and they were victorious. The following week, Punk revealed the rematch against MJF would be a Dog Collar match at Revolution. [7] [8]

After remaining undefeated for months, Thunder Rosa became the number one contender to Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D.'s AEW Women's World Championship, reigniting an old feud between the two. The title match was made official for Revolution on the February 16 episode of Dynamite. [8]

On the February 23 episode of Dynamite, after Jade Cargill retained the TBS Championship against The Bunny, she touted her undefeated record of 28–0 and issued an open challenge for the title. Tay Conti came out to accept the challenge, and the match was made official for Revolution. [10]

At the 2021 Revolution, AEW held the Face of the Revolution ladder match, with the winner receiving a match for the TNT Championship. A second match was scheduled for the 2022 event, thus establishing the match as an annual tradition at Revolution. Keith Lee, making his AEW debut, qualified first by defeating Isiah Kassidy on the February 9 episode of Dynamite. [7] The remaining spots were filled over the next couple of weeks, with Wardlow, Powerhouse Hobbs, Ricky Starks, Orange Cassidy, and Christian Cage each qualifying by defeating Max Caster, Dante Martin, The Dark Order's Preston "10" Vance, Anthony Bowens, and Ethan Page, respectively. [8] [13] [10] [14] [15]

Chris Jericho and Eddie Kingston began feuding after Kingston began insinuating to his friends (and Jericho's Inner Circle teammates) Proud and Powerful (Santana and Ortiz) that they were being held back from their full potential and should branch out on their own, which Jericho took offense to. After confronting each other on the February 23 episode of Dynamite, a match between the two was scheduled for Revolution. [10]

On the January 19 episode of Dynamite, Jon Moxley returned after taking time off to battle alcoholism. [16] In the following weeks, Moxley would be approached by Bryan Danielson about teaming up to "run" AEW and mentor the younger generation of wrestlers. [12] On the February 16 episode, Moxley responded that he had never defeated Danielson regardless of what promotion they were both in and that he would only consider teaming up if they "bled together" first, indicating that he wanted a match. [8] The following week, after Moxley saved Danielson from an attack by 2point0 (Jeff Parker and Matt Lee) and Daniel Garcia, Danielson agreed to the match at Revolution. [10]

As Starks ascended the ladder, Wardlow jumped up and performed a powerbomb on Starks off the ladder that was over the ropes. Wardlow then grabbed the giant brass ring to win the match. [18]

Following this, Tony Schiavone stood on the stage with a contract as Shane "Swerve" Strickland made his unannounced AEW debut and signed the contract, officially joining AEW. Strickland was formerly known as Isaiah "Swerve" Scott in WWE. [18]

In the fourth match, Jade Cargill (accompanied by "Smart" Mark Sterling) defended the TBS Championship against Tay Conti (accompanied by Anna Jay).

In the end, Cargill performed the Jaded on Conti, retaining the title and improving her undefeated record to 29–0. [18]

Next, CM Punk faced MJF in a Dog Collar match. MJF entered first after teasing Punk's "Cult of Personality" theme song, followed by Punk, who came out to his former Ring of Honor (ROH) theme, "Miseria Cantare" by AFI. During the match, MJF wrapped the chain around his fist and struck Punk with it, making Punk bloodied. Punk went for the Go to Sleep, but MJF gouged Punk's eyes and applied the Salt of the Earth armbar. Punk escaped and put MJF into the Anaconda Vice, but MJF pulled Punk's hair into a pin attempt, forcing him to break the hold. Punk wrapped the chain around his right knee and delivered a shining wizard with the chain to MJF. MJF attempted a Tombstone Piledriver on the ring apron, but Punk hit him with the move instead.

Reception

Critics gave high praise to the Dog Collar match between CM Punk and MJF (Punk at left and MJF at right).

Revolution received positive reviews from critics. For CBSSports.com , Brent Brookhouse wrote that the event was "near-perfect" and featured "something for everyone, from brutal grudge matches to thrilling championship clashes." Kingston-Jericho was a "brutal war" and the "best kind of wrestling", the tag team championship three-way between Jurassic Express, reDRagon and The Young Bucks was "a great spectacle", Cargill-Conti was "solid", Punk-MJF was "a near-perfect old-school dog collar match", Baker-Rosa never "really hit its stride" and was "quite disappointing", Moxley-Danielson was "pretty brutal" despite a "lackluster middle section", and the main event was "thrilling" and a "fun ride". [19]

Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated opined that although Revolution "wasn't a perfect show", it was still "an outstanding night of pro wrestling". Barasso thought the main event match was "superb", the Punk-MJF match was a "masterpiece", Moxley-Danielson was "physical" and "grisly", and Kingston-Jericho was "fantastic". He was however disappointed by the women's championship match between Britt Baker and Thunder Rosa which he felt "ran too long" and suffered from an "abundance of interference". [20]

Professional wrestling journalist Bryan Alvarez wrote that the event was "wonderfully varied" and featured five matches that could be plausibly considered the best of the night, with those being Kingston-Jericho, the three-way tag championship match, Punk-MJF, Moxley-Danielson and Page-Cole. [21]

Combat sports journalist Dave Meltzer assigned star ratings to the event, with Kingston-Jericho, the three-way tag match, Punk-MJF and Moxley-Danielson all receiving a rating of 434 stars out of 5. Elsewhere on the card, the main event received 412 stars, the pre-show six-man tag team was assigned 414 stars, and the six-man tornado tag match received 4 stars. The lowest rated match on the show was Cargill-Conti, which was given 214 stars. [22]

Aftermath

Orange Cassidy suffered an arm injury during the Face of the Revolution ladder match after he was thrown out of the ring by Keith Lee. [23]
