AEW Revolution 2025 had all the things for an evening for the history books. To say that the hype delivered inside the Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena would be an understatement. There was almost too much action to cover.

Let’s start with the main event and never talk about it again. The new World Cup match between Master Jon Moxley and Cope saw Moxley retained after Christian Cage caught his title match contract. The match could not have been more poorly placed. It was a beat of a “brawl” between two veterans with zero intention to match the pace of any match before it – especially it before. The match was bad and the wrong guy won.

The idea was decided to avoid doing either to cope with or cage a transition champion for Swerve Strickland, who will challenge Moxley next after defeating the Ricochet in another excellent match earlier in the night. In the end, the main event was the only thing that held AEW Revolution 2025 from being a perfect pay-per-view. It was great – until the end.

Will Ospray put his rivalry with Kyle Fletcher to bed in undoubtedly the biggest steel cube match of the time before the main event. If you thought walls would limit Osprey’s incredible creativity, you got hard wrong as these two almost invented the wheel with some crazy spots and simply a general large, violent and dramatic battle.

Still, OSPREAY vs. Fletcher in comparison with AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm’s successful title defense against Mariah May, in their fall, counts everywhere “Hollywood Ending” trilogy. We will not give the coveted uncrowned car accident out of the Night Award here tonight, but the title match was and then some. It was so disgusting brutal that it was impossible to look away. As soon as the match started on the ramp, the arena’s collective jaw was on the floor and went through it as Storm’s plasma began to spray from her skull after a storm nap on the steel steps.

Every other champion on the map except the now-earlier AEW International Champion Konosuke Takeshita defended their titles in solid matches successfully. Takeshita lost her title to Kenny Omega in another immediate classic. Victory crowns Omega for the first time since returning from his dismissal.

Top to bottom, AEW Revolution 2025 was overwhelming for almost every reason you can think of. Almost flawless, I give AEW Revolution 2025 a crown score of: 9.5/10


AEW Revolution 2025 Unrowned Nightly Award -Winners:

AEW Revolution 2025 was easily the toughest event to decide that winners of nocturnal awards since Uncryed started last October. But when I think of MVP, I think of the person or moment that holds the most with me, and I simply can’t get the visual storm and May’s carnage out of my brain. Yes, the match was probably not for everyone, and much less a wrestling match than just a violent spot party. That’s all it should be and should undoubtedly have been like trilogy conclusion. The fact that each was willing to go into such lengths and commitment to this story throughout the thing was spectacular and why wrestling can be so great.

Originally I was just going to Crown Storm since she won the match, but it wouldn’t be fair to her dance partner May, as she needed to make this happen. Bravo, Ladies.

Hangman Adam Page and MJF opened the night with an absolute heater. I loved that fight. The problem was that it was the first, so it was overshadowed and forgotten almost instantly. MJF was at his heel-ish best, while Hangman overcame all the “devil” had to offer and went victorious. This (fortunately) won’t be their last meeting.

The fight at night was another where, when the night was wrapped, I thought for myself, “How do I choose this one?” Storm and May were my favorite match or moment, but it was objective not so big – or as much of a match – as Ospreav vs. Fletcher. These two became so creative inside a cage environment and slowly became a means of death. It was layered. From this development of destination to chemistry between the two to their personal history. Which shocker, right? Ospray and Fletcher deliver again.

After our LIVE blog below you can see how much I crushed the idea that one of the two determination matches would not top MJF’s chair trench. I should have known better, especially with regard to the burkamp. I mean, come now? Should I say something more? A Spanish fly from the top of the cage. Yes, it will be the place of the night when it happens.

  • Swerve gets the last word

    Swerve Strickland is Moxley’s next challenger, and he assaulted the master as he got out of the arena. This is how AEW Revolution ends 2025.

  • Result: (c) Jon Moxley Def. Cope and Christian Cage

    Cope lands two more spears and when it seems to be, the Christian cage appears! He trains! It’s an improvised Triple-Trusel match! Christian Spears Edge, who kicks out. Christian Lands The Killswitch and Moxley return to lock on the bulldog choke. Christian goes to sleep and Moxley preserves. What incredibly limp way for the commitment to play out.

  • As the judge is still out, Wheeler Yuta’s inevitable look has arrived. He teases the trip on Moxley, but hits to make a knee. To get the rescue, Jay White strikes strikes – accidentally to thump the title of documentary. Only two additional people and it is still overbooked. The judge comes back in the ring to make a sloth count and kicks out of a hair. Moxley argues with the referee and then turns into a spear that almost gets clear victory.

  • Cope just took the judge out with the farthest, worst lung I’ve ever seen. Then he crushed a paradigm shift when the judge was out. This is hard scenes, man.

  • Slow-Burn was generous. This is just not good and was terribly placed as a main event. I get why, but come now. What did we think? Moxley is targeted at Cope’s Neck All Match, and it’s about it outside a decent spear through the ropes and stomp from Moxley on the concrete. Regardless of the result, this match will prevent AEW revolution from being perfect.

  • The audience feels incredibly dead for this fight. It’s hard to blame them not only after the last match, but all night. Of all on line-up, I think everyone is mostly ready to see Death Riders’ saga than, so it’s more about watching it than this match, which has been a slowburn so far.

  • Well, we’re on our way to a Josh Barnt’s Bloodsport fight because Cope and Moxley have only traded elbows close by. They hate neck!

  • AEW World Cup: (C) Jon Moxley vs. Cope

    We have another to go, the people’s. The main event for the AEW World Cup. Should Jon Moxley manage after his match with Cope? Or will the master’s terror period continue? I feel like the story could repeat itself. Imagine a COPE victory, and then Christian Cage capitalizes and enters into his contract to snap the belt. We’ll find out in moments.

  • Result: Will Ospray Def. Kyle Fletcher

    Fletcher screams that he hates Ospray before taking a hidden blade and a tiger -driver 91. It does. Wow. Talk about absolute madness.

  • Fletcher falls Ospray with a brain buster on a chair and it looked like the ending, but Ospray kicks out. If the glass earlier in the night wasn’t enough, here’s the thumb. Fletcher looks after the last hand with another brain buster and is counteracted to a styles clash on tacks! He kicks out! What?! This is insanity.

    Fletcher tries to escape the cage again with Ospreaut after him with the screwdriver. They headbutt to position on top of the cage, and Ospray sticks fletches in the forehead with the screwdriver. Someone is about to be thrown by this thing. Oh mine. Ospray just hit a Spanish fly from the top of the cage! You’ve got to be kidding me.

  • Fletcher hit one of the craziest last Ride-style Powerbowbs you’ll ever see. Omega kicks out and then takes an ugly brain buster before Mark Davis comes down to the ring with some weapons. He opens the cage door by cutting the chain lock with some hedge cutters, and Ospray kicks the door into Davis and takes him out. Ospreay uses the tool bag from Ospray to its advantage and pulls a barbed wire baseball bat that tastes fletches in the guy with it and sticks it to the forehead. Fletcher asks for grace by throwing up the United Empire logo with a bracelet he pulled from his suitcases. Ospray delivered the bird and swung bats to be counteracted with a low blow. Fletcher takes bats, swings, misses and eats a hidden leaf and storm breaker to apply the pin. He had the victory until Davis reappeared and stopped the pin.

    Ospray looked out everything as the double team began. Ospray managed to take them out and climb the cage for a wild us-cutter who almost won it. Do you know what that means? Barbed wire on the elbow cushion as Ospray apparently wanted another hidden blade. Fletcher tries to escape the top of the cage and pulls a screwdriver from the top of the cage and begins to stab OSPREAY in the head and body. Ouch.

  • My goodness. The sale of fletcher on one of the throws he has taken in the cage is ridiculous. He’s full on ragdolled out there. As an artist, his screams really add a lot to his character and what he delivers.OSPray now takes over as the pace is slowing down.

  • OSPREAY SLACKED after entering the cage pretty early. He has a good mask in progress, but it feels honest like nothing after Storm vs. May. We have become desensibilized tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
