Perhaps the largest draw on the Revolution card is the fundamental event, the AEW Men’s World Championship match pitting MJF against “Hangman” Adam Page once more, and that is as a consequence of just how brutal and unpredictable the match goes to be this time around. To get MJF to comply with his pleas for the match, Page put his future opportunities to challenge for the title on the road, so, if he doesn’t win at Revolution, he’s (in theory) done with the corporate’s top championship.
Oh, and it is also a Texas Death match, a “Hangman” specialty. That aspect goes to bring out the additional side of brutality reserved for the highest matches of AEW pay-per-views, and we expect a number of blood, and no less than one or two jaw-dropping, questionable (depending in your “sicko” status) spots. And, with a death match stipulation, there are in fact, no rules, so interference by any of MJF’s previous challengers and babyface friends of Page, like Brody King, Bandido, and JetSpeed, is at all times possible. While Page doesn’t currently have any real enemies lurking around,
While there are other stipulation matches on the Revolution card, just like the two-out-of-three falls stip for the AEW Women’s World Championship, and the no closing date rule to Jon Moxley and Konosuke Takeshita’s Continental Championship match, there is no such thing as a stipulation more brutal than Texas Death. A desperate Page difficult MJF, and there aren’t many talents on the AEW roster more dangerous than a desperate Page. The champion, and the sickos alike, are in for a savage, long brawl to cap off the night. AEW hasn’t placed on a pay-per-view since Worlds End in December, so president Tony Khan will likely need to cap off this show with a bang, and he’s chosen two stars who will pull no punches in attempts to attain that. Though, whether meaning Page will emerge from Revolution as AEW World Champion stays to be seen.
While the consequence might be interesting either way, if “Hangman” loses here, it may be interesting to take a position on his future. AEW has more likely learned its lesson with how Cody Rhodes losing his ability to challenge for the highest title turned out, so the probabilities for Page, even in defeat, are vast, including the corporate’s quite a few other titles. He can win back his ability to challenge for the title in yet one more stipulation match down the road, or, he could at all times goad a heel champion, like MJF, into giving him one other shot. Things can even be interesting overall going into AEW’s hot PPV season, with big shows like Double or Nothing, All In, and All Out quickly approaching.
