Perhaps the biggest draw on the Revolution card is the main event, the AEW Men’s World Championship match pitting MJF against “Hangman” Adam Page once again, and that’s due to just how brutal and unpredictable the match is going to be this time around. To get MJF to agree to his pleas for the match, Page put his future opportunities to challenge for the title on the line, so, if he doesn’t win at Revolution, he’s (in theory) done with the company’s top championship.

Oh, and it’s also a Texas Death match, a “Hangman” specialty. That aspect is going to bring out the extra side of brutality reserved for the top matches of AEW pay-per-views, and we expect a lot of blood, and at least one or two jaw-dropping, questionable (depending on your “sicko” status) spots. And, with a death match stipulation, there are of course, no rules, so interference by any of MJF’s previous challengers and babyface friends of Page, like Brody King, Bandido, and JetSpeed, is always possible. While Page doesn’t currently have any real enemies lurking around,

While there are other stipulation matches on the Revolution card, like the two-out-of-three falls stip for the AEW Women’s World Championship, and the no time limit rule to Jon Moxley and Konosuke Takeshita’s Continental Championship match, there is no stipulation more brutal than Texas Death. A desperate Page challenging 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 put on a pay-per-view since Worlds End in December, so president Tony Khan will likely want to cap off this show with a bang, and he’s chosen two stars who will pull no punches in attempts to achieve that. Though, whether that means Page will emerge from Revolution as AEW World Champion remains to be seen.

While the outcome will be interesting either way, if “Hangman” loses here, it’s going to be interesting to speculate on his future. AEW has more likely learned its lesson with how Cody Rhodes losing his ability to challenge for the top title turned out, so the possibilities for Page, even in defeat, are vast, including the company’s numerous other titles. He can win back his ability to challenge for the title in yet another stipulation match down the line, or, he could always goad a heel champion, like MJF, into giving him another shot. Things will also be interesting overall going into AEW’s hot PPV season, with big shows like Double or Nothing, All In, and All Out quickly approaching.
