The men armed themselves with light tubes, but MJF backed off with his back to the stage. “Hangman” followed and broke the tubes across MJF’s back and head. He then went under the ring to arm himself with skewers and stuck them in MJF’s head.
Page hit a Buckshot Lariat then grabbed a chain with dog collars and put it on MJF first, then himself. “Hangman” pulled out another table and called for a lighter, but when he didn’t get one, found a barbed wire board to place on the table instead. He was the one who went crashing through it, however, when MJF yanked him off the ropes with the chain.
The pair battled to the stage again and Page hit a belly-to-belly suplex to MJF, sending them both through electrical equipment below, resulting in a small explosion and more sparks. They were still back on their feet and back in the ring, and MJF hit a low blow to counter the Buckshot, then nailed Page with the belt.
Page hit his own low blow and belt shot, but MJF countered another Buckshot, then hung Page over the ropes by the chain and choked him out. Page fell to the floor, with his head hitting the camera, leaving a dramatic blood splatter, and he couldn’t beat the 10 count.
MJF Survives Brutal Texas Death Match Against Hangman Page
The main event of AEW Revolution delivered a violent and unforgettable showdown as Maxwell Jacob Friedman successfully defended the AEW World Championship against Adam Page in a grueling Texas Death Match.
The stakes couldn’t have been higher. If Page failed to win the championship, he would never again be able to challenge for the title for as long as MJF remained champion.
What followed was over 45 minutes of absolute chaos.
Both men unleashed everything they had, turning the arena into a battlefield. Weapons were used throughout the match as barbed-wire wrapped chairs, tables, light tubes, and even a syringe came into play. The brutality escalated further when the two competitors crashed through equipment near the stage, leaving both men covered in blood as they struggled to keep the other down for the ten-count.
Late in the match, Page gained momentum and prevented MJF from escaping by chaining the two together with a dog collar. With the champion unable to run, Page looked poised to finally put MJF away.
The challenger appeared to have the match won after striking MJF with the championship belt and preparing to deliver the Buckshot Lariat. But in true MJF fashion, the champion had one final trick left. MJF slipped on the Dynamite Diamond Ring and blasted Page with it before hanging him over the ropes.
With Page fading and eventually losing consciousness, the referee reached the ten-count, giving MJF the victory.
After a brutal war, MJF retained the AEW World Championship, and with the loss, Hangman Page’s opportunity to challenge for the title again while MJF is champion has officially come to an end.

Kenny Omega Returns at AEW Revolution – Kenny Omega didn’t wrestle at AEW Revolution 2026, but he still delivered one of the night’s biggest moments when he made a surprise return during the pay‑per‑view at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The appearance immediately reignited his rivalry with Swerve Strickland and set the stage for a major storyline shift heading into the post‑Revolution stretch.
Reports leading into Revolution made it clear that Omega would not be competing on the card due to scheduling conflicts. AEW had known for months that he wouldn’t be available to wrestle, allowing the company to adjust creative plans well in advance. At one point, Omega was internally discussed as a possible opponent for Swerve Strickland, but once his status became certain, AEW pivoted and instead booked Strickland against Brody King.
The match that replaced the originally discussed Omega bout turned into one of the most physical contests of the night. Strickland and King tore into each other in a hard‑hitting battle that kept the Los Angeles crowd fully invested. After a punishing back‑and‑forth fight, Strickland ultimately secured the victory — but the real story began after the bell.
Kenny Omega Returns at AEW Revolution
As Strickland celebrated, Prince Nana reached under the ring and pulled out a cinder block, clearly preparing to escalate the situation with a brutal attack on Brody King. Before the assault could begin, the arena erupted as Kenny Omega’s music hit.
Omega sprinted to the ring, forcing Strickland to immediately retreat. The crowd exploded as Omega stood tall, cutting off the attack and making his first on‑screen appearance since Strickland took him out of action weeks earlier on AEW Dynamite.
The moment was symbolic and direct: Omega wasn’t just back — he was coming straight for the man who sidelined him.
Omega’s appearance carries several implications for AEW’s immediate future:
The Omega–Strickland feud is officially back on track.
Omega’s recovery appears to be progressing well, given the physicality of his run‑in.
A major Dynamite match could be imminent, especially with AEW wanting strong follow‑through after Revolution.
Brody King’s involvement adds another layer, potentially creating a multi‑man or faction‑based direction.
Even without wrestling, Omega’s return was one of the most impactful moments of the night — a reminder that AEW’s landscape shifts dramatically whenever “The Cleaner” steps back into the spotlight.
AEW Revolution 2026 delivered a major shake‑up in the women’s division, as The Divine Dominion walked out of Los Angeles with the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship. The victory ended the Babes of Wrath’s 96‑day reign and capped off a grueling night for Willow Nightingale and Lena Kross, who were forced to compete twice on the same show.
The night began on Zero Hour, where Willow Nightingale successfully defended the AEW TBS Championship against Lena Kross. The match left Nightingale nursing an injured shoulder — an issue that would become a major factor later in the evening.
Divine Dominion Capture Tag Team Titles
Hours later, Nightingale and Cameron returned for their scheduled tag team title defense against The Divine Dominion’s Lena Kross and Bayne. Dominion wasted no time exploiting the earlier damage, blindsiding Nightingale before the bell and driving her bad shoulder into the ring post. Commentary initially missed the attack, but the effects became obvious as the match unfolded.
With Nightingale compromised, Cameron was isolated. Kross drilled her with a sliding lariat for a near fall, and Bayne cut her off on the ropes when she tried to fight back. Cameron managed to break free by biting her way out of a slugfest and hitting a high crossbody, buying just enough time to reach her corner.
Despite the injury, Nightingale stormed into the match with a burst of adrenaline. She sent Bayne crashing to the floor with a Pounce, dodged a Kross pump kick, and planted her with a Death Valley Driver. Cameron rejoined the action with a double enzuigiri, but Dominion answered with fallaway slams to both champions.
Kross and Bayne followed with stereo corner splashes that sent Cameron and Nightingale colliding into each other, then leveled them with double clotheslines. A shotgun dropkick–German suplex combo connected on Cameron, and Kross blasted Nightingale with another pump kick.
Nightingale nearly stole the win with a backslide — the same flash pin she used to beat Kross earlier in the night — but Kross kicked out at two. Bayne then flew in with a leaping lariat, and Dominion sealed the victory with a double chokeslam to claim the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship.
With Nightingale’s injury now part of the story and Dominion holding the gold, the division has a clear new direction coming out of Revolution.
Will Ospreay made his long-awaited return to All Elite Wrestling during AEW Revolution after being out of action for several months due to a neck injury and surgery.
Ospreay had not competed since AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, where he was attacked and written off television by members of The Death Riders. The angle served as the storyline explanation for his absence while he underwent surgery and began his recovery.
After more than six months away from AEW programming, Ospreay made his return on March 15 during the Revolution pay-per-view. The moment came shortly after Jon Moxley successfully defended the AEW Continental Championship against Konosuke Takeshita.
Moxley retained the title by applying a rear-naked choke. Instead of tapping out, Takeshita passed out from the hold. After the match ended, both competitors showed respect to one another by shaking hands in the ring.
Moments later, a vignette aired teasing Ospreay’s return. The video concluded with his entrance music hitting, which immediately sparked a loud reaction from the crowd.
Ospreay then ran down to the ring and quickly went after several members of The Death Riders. During the chaotic return, he attacked Moxley along with PAC, Wheeler Yuta, and Daniel Garcia.
Despite the numbers advantage held by the group, Ospreay managed to fight them off and clear the ring. The segment ended with Ospreay standing tall as he climbed the turnbuckle and posed for the crowd, signaling his official return to AEW competition.
The comeback marks Ospreay’s first appearance in AEW since the attack that sidelined him at Forbidden Door, and it immediately places him back in the middle of the storyline involving The Death Riders.
