Colin Vassallo -[mailto:editor@...]-
Very sold AEW pay-per-view yesterday. I caught half of it live but then my body tapped out after 24 hours awake. Saw the rest this morning and I enjoyed it.

REVOLUTION 2020 PAY-PER-VIEW RESULTS
- Here are the results from last night's AEW Revolution pay-per-view which took place from the Wintrust Arena in Chicago, Illinois. The Dark Order defeated SCU during the Buy-In show; Jake Hager defeated Dustin Rhodes; Darby Allin defeated Sammy Guevara; Kenny Omega and Hangman Page defeated The Young Bucks to retain the AEW Tag Team titles; Nyla Rose defeated Kris Statlander to retain the AEW Women's title; MJF defeated Cody; Pac defeated Orange Cassidy; Jon Moxley defeated Chris Jericho to become the new AEW World champion.
JON MOXLEY WINS THE AEW WORLD TITLE
- The Moxley Era has arrived! Le Champion has lost his AEW World title after 182 days as Jon Moxley defeated Chris Jericho during Revolution to win his first title with the promotion. Before the match ended, Mox took off his eye patch to reveal that he could see and then hit the Paradigm Shift for the clean pin as the Chicago crowd came unglued to congratulate the new champ. Following the match and celebrations, Mox cut a promo in the middle of the ring as fans chanted for him. "I love this shit!" Mox said. "It has been one hell of a year for yours truly. One hell of a long road." He then put over the fans for sticking with him through thick and thin. "You are the energy that fuels AEW. A year ago we had this conversation saying we're bringing pro wrestling back to the people. And that's what we've done. This doesn't belong to me. It belongs to all the AEW fans," he continued. His wife, Renee Young who was present at the show, tweeted "GOOSEBUMPS!" following the win.
COLT CABANA SIGNS WITH AEW
- Chicago's own Colt Cabana made a surprise appearance at AEW Revolution yesterday, coming to the aid of SCU during the Buy-In show. In the post-show media scrum with reporters, AEW President Tony Khan said that Cabana has signed with the promotion and will be serving three roles - announcer, wrestler, and a coach. Khan also confirmed that Cabana will be allowed to work for other independent promotions while still signed to AEW. Cabana, 39, is a favorite on the indies, having spent most of his wrestling career there apart from a short stint with WWE in 2007. He is best known for his work with Ring of Honor. The former NWA champion was famously sued along with CM Punk by WWE doctor Christopher Amann for comments made during the November 2014 episode of his podcast The Art of Wrestling. Punk and Cabana teamed up to take on the WWE doc and won but the two fell apart with both of them suing each other alleging breach of contract and fraud.
AEW BRINGING THEIR OWN VERSION OF WARGAMES TO DYNAMITE
- It was announced during the Revolution pay-per-view that the March 25 episode of Dynamite on TNT will feature AEW's version of WarGames titled Blood and Guts. The match looks like it will be identical to the WarGames concept with two rings and one massive cage that covers both rings. WWE has the trademark for the WarGames name which is why AEW can't use it but in WWE's version - which NXT uses - the cage doesn't have a ceiling. The Blood and Guts quote was actually uttered by Vince McMahon during a conference call with reporters when he said that unlike the newcomers, they don't need to do a lot of blood and guts on television to gather attention. The March 25 episode will take place from the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Tickets are available now.
MATT HARDY'S WWE CONTRACT EXPIRES TONIGHT
- Matt Hardy's WWE contract officially expires at Midnight tonight and on Twitter, Hardy mentioned "3220" which decoded would be March 2, 2020. "With 3220 rapidly approaching, I highly recommend watching & analyzing these videos... POSTHASTE," Hardy wrote, giving links to the Free The Delete series on his YouTube channel. Matt is wildly believed to be heading to All Elite Wrestling and be the leader of The Dark Order. Unless WWE made a mega offer and something to keep Matt creatively happy, the chances of him going to AEW are...wonderful! There were talks that Hardy was offered a spot also on the NXT brand. One thing's for sure, the anticipation of where Matt Hardy will go will be over soon.
TICKETS FOR NXT UK TAKEOVER: DUBLIN
- Tickets for the NXT UK Takeover: Dublin WWE Network event will go on sale tomorrow, Monday, March 2 at 9AM local time at Ticketmaster.ie. The show will be taking place from the 3Arena on Sunday, April 26 in a country that is actually not in the United Kingdom, but a country that has its fair share of WWE and NXT Superstars. Finn Balor, who is Irish, is scheduled to take part in the next set of NXT UK television tapings and will probably feature in the event as well.
