AEW REVOLUTION LIVE BLOG & MATCH COVERAGE
Humankind has reached a turning point, poised for conflict at ground zero, ready for a war. Do we look to our unearthly guide or to white coat heroes searching for a cure? Me, I’m just here to liveblog this pro wrestling show for you, folks.
The Buy-In begins and we get a little hype from commentary before getting down to business.
Dr. Britt Baker, DMD makes her entrance and gets on the mic.
She says Reba was brutally attacked by Nyla Rose so she’s injured and can’t compete. She claims it ridiculous that a doctor’s note from her wasn’t enough, but she got the Jaguars team doctor to agree with her. She brings Reba out, hobbling on a crutch, and says Tony Khan agreed that they need a replacement and she found the perfect partner.
It’s Maki Itoh!
She dances on the stage and sings a little before we get to the match.

SIDE SLAM INTO THE BARBED WIRE CHAIR! Moxley wraps a strand of barbed wire around his own arm, digging into his bicep, Kenny cuts him off at first but Jon gets a lariat with the smooth arm!
Duck the barbed wire lariat, Dragon suplex, another one, V-Trigger... MOXLEY HITS THE BARBED WIRE LARIAT! Underhooks, Omega shoves him into the ropes... EXPLOSION! Kenny flashed in the eyes, pawing at them, clearly dealing with some tearing or flash blindness, they’re on the apron and trading shots, bionic elbows, Omega just full-on gouging at the cut on Jon’s forehead!
He tries to throw him into the exploding boards, Mox blocks, brain chops, Jon bites at his head, knee to the face staggers him, Moxley pulls him in, jockeying for position... PARADIGM SHIFT OFF THE APRON AND INTO THE EXPLODING BOARDS! Jon extricates himself from the barbed wire while referee Bryce Remsburg checks on Kenny. Mox gets another length of wire off the boards, spooling it and squashing it down as best he can.
Putting Omega back inside, punching him in the head with the wire as Kenny’s face fills with more and more blood. Ominous music begins playing us to inform that we’re in the final countdown to the rest of the explosions! Piledriver gets two, more underhooks but Omega counters with a low blow! Tenryu powerbomb... NOT ENOUGH! Kenny charges in, V-Trigger in the corner!
Another one, drawing Moxley up, electric chair... ONE-WINGED ANGEL! Slow to cover... MOXLEY KICKS OUT AND TRIGGERS ANOTHER EXPLOSION IN THE PROCESS! Mox has the barbed wire bat, forcing himself to his feet, Kenny to his knees and the Good Brothers come to ringside! They give a barbed wire bat to Omega and Moxley fights them off with his own bat!

Cover... JON MOXLEY CANNOT BE KILLED! Kenny tears Bryce’s sleeve off and sets a chair up. Electric chair... ONE-WINGED ANGEL THROUGH THE CHAIR! IT’S OVER!
Kenny Omega wins by pinfall with One-Winged Angel through a chair to retain the AEW World Championship.
Post-match, commentary explains that the explosions are still armed and Don Callis runs down to try and get Kenny and the Good Brothers to leave the ring before it explodes.
They run Bryce off and Kenny throws a trash can at him! They handcuff Moxley and beat him down for good measure, grinding the barbed wire bat into his forehead! A COUNTDOWN APPEARS ON THE SCREEN! ONE MINUTE UNTIL FINAL EXPLOSION! Omega and the Good Brothers make a run for it, Mox is still handcuffed in the ring... EDDIE KINGSTON MAKES THE SAVE! HE CAN’T GET THE CUFFS OFF! HE CAN’T WAKE MOX UP SO HE JUST COVERS HIM AS THE RING EXPLODES!
A medic checks on both of them and Jerry Lynn and the ringside doctor come in as well, followed by referee Aubrey Edwards.
That’s the show, folks.
