AEW Revolution 2025 Review.

 Intro.

When I woke up this morning I took up the chance to check out X, and opinions on this PPV are possitive. I'm not someone who buys two much into what is said by other fans, but I do feel that fan opinions are valid, and there was one moment on this card that had me feeling nothing but rage. So lets get into it.

Hangman Adam Page vs MJF.

I liked this. The great physicality became a great background player, to the overacrching story of a Fin line between love and hate. The near falls were great, and they fell into place perfectly. Hangman got the win in what was a very entertaining opener.

Mercedes Mone vs Momo Wantanabe AEW TBS Championship.

I liked this. Their in-ring chemistry was awesome, and this moulded into the physicality with ease. The Match started out being wrestled to crickets, and both ladies worked hard to get the fans on side. Mercedes retained as Billy Starks watched on.

Swerve Strickland vs Ricochet AEW No1 Contenders Match For The Heavyweight Championship.

This. Was a great Match, with some solid storybeats. From Prince Nana looking lucious in that white gear. Swerve coming out to a drum soundtrack. Nana got shoved over by Swerve, as the story that was centred around robe stuff. Nana walked out leaving his mentor, only to come back later on, and play into the finish. The near falls were decent, and the final exchanges between both men were performed with ease, as the last exchange saw Swerve get the win.

Kazuchika Okada vs Brody King.

To me this was when the PPV shifted into second gear. I loved this Match. It was strangely captivating, and it held my attention throughout its durration. The in built story may not have been very evident, but the physicality, and overall gamesmanship between both men, was sensational. Okada retained, and this left me wanting more.

The Hurt Syndicate vs The Outrunners AEW World Tag Team Championships.

This pissed me off. The Hurt Syndicate, beat. The Outrunners for the AEW Tag Team Championships. Noooooooooooooooooooooo. Ok i'm sad now. IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE OUTRUNNERS. Patrick stop crying.

Timeless Toni Storm vs Marieh May AEW Womens Championship No Holds Barred.

I loved this. It was bloodstained plunder Match, that acted as a book end for this rivalry. This. Is so far my Womens Match of the year. From Luther getting taken out early on. May getting powerbombed off of the stage, and through a table. Both ladies busted each other open, and then proceeding to glass fist one another in the form of a Hardcore Match. The blood, and the violence acted like side characters in my favourite film, which helpled the story progress. Toni Storm then took a glass shot to the, how can I say this without my mum wanting to slap me. The gooch, the got glass in her gooch. Toni got the win, after she gave Marieh a Storm Zero through a Hollywood table that was positioned on the top of the rampway. In the terms of one of my favourite films a Clockwork Orange. This was gorgousness, and gougocity making flesh, and forming something that can only be described as liquid Gold.

AEW International Championship Match Kenny Omega vs Konosuke Takeshista.

I'm at the minute a bit flummexed, because I'm struggling. I can't figure out how to put perfection into words. From it's lofi pace, that encapulated the early goings, the gut shots that Kenny took, to the absolutely incredible exchanges that both men put each other through, to the stunning near falls that elevated the story of the Match, and were played out with subtlety and ease. Kenny is our new International Champion, and this was physical warfare laid bare in all of its glory. What is it with Kenny Omega having Match of the year contenders, and were only in March.

Will Osperay vs Kyle Fletcher Steel Cage Match.

This. Match took me back to being an 11 year old kid, watching Mankind vs The Undertakers Hell In A Cell Match from King Of The Ring 1998. Especially when you know some of the facts behind it. It's known that the late Terry Funk told Mick Foley, that the best way to start the Match off, would be if he climbed up to the top of the cell. This is exactly what Kyle Fletcher did. Both him and Will had a fantastic visual stare down from opposite sides from the top of the cage. The match delved head first into the darkside of both mens depravity, as they busted each other open, and created a violent, bloodsoaked majestic, story that unfolded over the durration of the Match. The storybeats, adding with Will at one point becoming Negan from The Walking Dead, and. Kyle acting like Glenn, made for a tense mindgame played by Fletcher as he begged for his life. Mark Davis interfered, and added weapons to the proceedings to aid that part of the Match. As the exchanges entered the latter stages of the Match, we were treated to the best parts of the story and the Match. Kyle tried to get out of the cage, but Will gave chase, and gave Kyle an Os cutter from the top of the cage, after both men had screwdriver fun. Kyle could be heard shout how much he hated Will, this gave us the end, when Will Hit Kyle with a hidden blade for the win. This was an extremely gratifying Match, that topped off a bad night for The Damn It Don Callis Family. Osperay just loves having Match of the year contenders doesn't he.

Jon Moxley vs Adam Copeland For The AEW World Heavyweight Championship.

This wasn't for me. It lacked any form of substance. Xcalibur on commentary said that there was a hush over the crowd, and let me tell it wasn't due to fear of Jon Moxley, it was because they were tired after seeing three Matches of the year conders back to back, which speaks volumes of how this Deathriders story has played out on TV. The interferences from Jay white, and Wheeler Yuta were comical, and Christian Cage's failed cash in attempt felt lazy, and last minute. Mox got the win after the Cage cash in, and inclusion drained me of my sanity. Thankfully Swerve Strickland took out Mox with stomp from off the top of an exit, as the show ent off the air.

Overview Of AEW Revolution 2025.

Bad main event, and disapointing Tag Team Championship Match result aside. This was an excellent PPV. Copmplete with awesome in-ring work, and Match of the year contenders. I get the critisism about the main event, but I don't think that this should overshadow everyones enjoyment. There is great stuff to be found on this show if you give it a chance, as this should be a warning to Tony Khan, if something isn't working out, don't book it as your main event.

AEW Revolution 2025 is a solid 9/10.
