Gabe Kidd interrupted the media room with an aggressive promo, demanding a coffin match against Darby Allin on this week’s Dynamite. Khan reacted positively, saying the idea worked for him. Thekla stayed in character during her appearance and said she would do whatever was needed to help Julia Hart and Skye Blue win the Women’s Tag Team titles.

Roderick Strong was asked if he was part of The Conglomeration and answered with a simple “maybe.” Both Strong and Orange Cassidy hinted they want to pursue the AEW Tag Team titles. During the segment with Mistico, Speedball Mike Bailey, and Kevin Knight, Khan confirmed that Mistico will split his time between CMLL and AEW after signing with the company. When asked about a pay‑per‑view in Mexico, Khan said his focus was on another Grand Slam Mexico event. Mistico, speaking through a translator, said he was happy to team with Jet Speed and happy to have signed with AEW.

Khan also announced that Continental Classic tracksuits are coming, though he did not give a release date.

New National Champion Jack Perry spoke emotionally about his win, calling it bittersweet. He said his father passed away seven years ago and that his previous visits to the building were with him. Perry said he wished his father could have seen the moment but was grateful his mother, sister, and Luchasaurus were there. He also mentioned that Luchasaurus “nearly died” a year ago. Perry admitted he had questioned his career path at times but now feels confident in it.

Khan provided several updates throughout the press conference. He said MJF and Hangman Page were “hurting badly” after their main event. He joked that he was “showing off for his new boss,” referencing the Paramount/WBD deal. Khan said he would love to get Wayne Brady in the ring after Brady’s Zero Hour appearance.

Regarding Ronda Rousey’s involvement, Khan said she is a close friend of Marina Shafir and came in as backup. He shifted attention to Wednesday’s no‑holds‑barred match between Shafir and Toni Storm. Khan said Rousey has always been good to him and wished her well. He added that AEW wrestlers are welcome to attend the upcoming Rousey vs. Gina Carano fight and revealed he has been invited.

Khan said a future show at SoFi Stadium is “not crazy at all.” He also said Penelope Ford’s injury forced a major change, praising Lena Kross for stepping up. On Hangman Page’s stipulation, Khan said it was a verbal agreement similar to Cody Rhodes’ past arrangement and noted that Page is known for keeping his word.

Khan remained positive about the Paramount/WBD merger, saying a partnership between HBO Max and Paramount+ could increase AEW’s reach. When asked about wrestlers expressing political opinions on TV, Khan said AEW is not a political league and that talent is free to express their own views.

The AEW Revolution Media Scrum offered a wide look at AEW’s direction, from new signings to future events and ongoing storylines.

MJF Retains After Brutal Texas Death Match at AEW Revolution

MJF Retains After Brutal Texas Death Match at AEW Revolution

AEW Revolution 2026 closed with one of the most punishing main events in company history, as MJF and Adam Page battled for the AEW World Championship in a Texas Death Match that pushed both men to their absolute limits. Inside the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, the stipulation became a test of endurance, creativity, and sheer refusal to stay down. What followed was a violent, chaotic, and unforgettable chapter in AEW’s main‑event legacy, described here with an emphasis on storytelling rather than graphic detail.

AEW Revolution MJF vs Adam Page Texas Death Match

The match was promoted as a grudge-fueled showdown, but few expected the level of intensity that unfolded. For nearly half an hour, MJF and Page weaponized anything they could find, turning the ring and surrounding area into a battlefield. These were the moments that defined the war.

1. Barbed Wire, Broken Glass, and the First Turning Point

Page set the tone early by wrapping his hand in barbed wire and striking MJF, opening the champion up within minutes. The escalation continued when Page dragged a window pane into the ring. MJF smashed it across Page’s back, only for Page to send MJF through the glass moments later. Both men repeatedly beat the referee’s ten count, establishing that neither intended to quit.

2. The Syringe Spot and the Barbed‑Wire Chair

This was the moment where the match crossed into genuinely graphic territory. MJF produced a syringe and drove it into Page’s mouth area, creating a disturbing visual that immediately shifted the tone of the match. The spot was intentionally shocking, designed to unsettle the audience and underline the personal hatred between the two. MJF followed by dropping Page onto a barbed‑wire‑wrapped chair, adding another layer of danger to an already volatile environment.

3. Light Tubes and Skewers on the Ramp

The fight spilled onto the entrance ramp, where both men grabbed light tubes. Page shattered his over MJF’s head, then produced a bundle of skewers and drove them into MJF’s scalp. The crowd reacted with a mix of shock and disbelief as MJF somehow beat another ten count.

4. The Barbed‑Wire Table Collapse

Page wrapped a chain dog collar around MJF’s neck and tied the other end to the ropes, then set up a table topped with a barbed‑wire board. He attempted a Dead Eye from the ropes, but MJF countered, pulling Page off balance and sending him crashing through the barbed‑wire board. Page barely beat the count, staggering upright with visible difficulty.

5. The Flaming Table Plunge

The most dramatic moment of the match came when both men brawled atop the entrance ramp. In a desperate move, Page launched himself and MJF off the stage and through a flaming table. Both men lay motionless for several seconds before somehow rising again. It was the kind of moment that defines the Texas Death Match stipulation — reckless, theatrical, and unforgettable.

6. The Hagman Gets Hanged

Back at ringside, MJF grabbed the AEW World Championship belt and struck Page. Page retaliated, but MJF used the chain dog collar to choke Page against the ropes. Page fought to stay conscious, but the cumulative damage was too much. He collapsed during the referee’s final ten count, unable to rise. MJF retained the AEW World Championship, surviving one of the most punishing matches in AEW history.

Aftermath: A Champion Standing Over the Wreckage

Medical staff placed Page on a stretcher as MJF stood over him, battered but victorious. In a final act of defiance, MJF climbed onto the stretcher and raised the AEW World Championship high as the show went off the air — an image that will likely define his reign. As per the stipulation, Adam Page can no longer challenge for the AEW World Championship, closing the door on his pursuit of the title for the foreseeable future.

AEW Revolution 2026: 3 Things We Hated & 3 Things We Loved

There were some really nice surprises tonight at Revolution; some expected, but fun and exciting none the less. Some were less expected, making them even more special, with one big shock that has the internet wrestling community divided. 

AEW kind of front-loaded the show with all the big returns, but they worked, so I don’t think I minded that aspect at all. The first return was Adam Copeland and Christian Cage making their way back to AEW to set their sights on the World Tag Team Championship. While I’m sure a lot of fans expected them back, nobody was exactly sure when we’d see them. They not only stared down FTR, but were confronted by the Young Bucks, who had just lost a brutal, bloody match to the team to kick off the show. The veteran team being the first return and surprise of the night just felt right.

I don’t think anyone expected to see Ronda Rousey in AEW ahead of her big fight against Gina Carano on Netflix in May. Think how you want about Rousey, of course, and she has certainly lost me as a fan over the years, but this appearance was unexpected, at the very least. I didn’t mind it as much later in the night, as when commentary announced “Timeless” Toni Storm’s No Holds Barred match against Marina Shafir on “Dynamite” this week, there was no mention of Rousey being there as well. Even writing the news story tonight after it happened, I was hesitant to call it a “debut for AEW,” as it was hopefully just a one-off appearance in an attempt to pop the crowd.

The best return of the night was accompanied by an incredible video package teaser, and right after, Will Ospreay’s music hit, and the “Aerial Assassin” returned to our screens, seemingly to challenge Continental Champion Jon Moxley and the Death Riders. I had no idea where or when we were going to see him, and I kind of expected it at Double or Nothing. I also expected him in the top title scene immediately, so when the video played following Moxley’s victory, I was pleasantly surprised.

And even though he wasn’t gone for an awfully long time, we saw Kenny Omega pop back up to protect Brody King from a further beatdown by Swerve Strickland, slightly furthering that story. It’s always nice to see Omega, so I also liked that. The first half of this show was full of surprises, both good and bad, depending on how you feel about these stars, and it helped Revolution feel even more big and exciting, which was great after a few months without AEW pay-per-views.

MJF Outlasts Adam Page For World Title In Blood-Soaked AEW Revolution Death Match

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 Ends Hangman Page’s World Title Dreams in Brutal Texas Deathmatch At AEW Revolution

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.
