AEW Revolution 2026 featured a number of memorable moments, including the returns of Will Ospreay and Kenny Omega, the company debut of Ronda Rousey, and the crowning of new champions. For AEW commentator Tony Schiavone, he will remember a particularly colorful spot from the Revolution main event, which pitted “Hangman” Adam Page against MJF in a Texas Death Match.
“The one thing that’s going to stick in my mind is Hangman at the end falling forward and bloodying up the lens of the camera,” Schiavone said on “What Happened When.” “That’s going to be in my mind for quite a while. Obviously the syringe and all the craziness there that they went through, give both guys credit. They busted their ass.
“I know when we have a good pay-per-view, and here’s how I know. Excalibur and I are doing all of it, we’re doing like five and a half hours of TV. And by the time you get to the main event, if you’re still pumped up as an announcer, you’ve had a good pay-per-view. I was still pumped up. I really was. I was very excited about seeing what the Texas death match would bring.”
The moment in reference occurred after MJF clocked Page in the face to prevent him from delivering the Buckshot Lariat. From there, MJF choked out Page with a dog collar chain, causing a bloodied Page to hit the camera as he dropped to the floor. With Page unable to reach his feet before the referee’s count of ten, MJF then retained the AEW World Championship.

On March 15, 2026, the “Ides of March,” Maxwell Jacob Friedman (MJF) assassinated the chances for “Hangman” Adam Page to ever challenge for the AEW Men’s World Championship again in their Last Chance Texas Death Match at Revolution last Sunday. For the second time in AEW history, a top star and founding father of the company will not be allowed to chase nor challenge for the top men’s belt for the rest of his career there. Just astounded as the fans were to see Page lose, AEW President and CEO Tony Khan gave his thoughts on the matter, and whether Page can back out of his word for the sake of his popularity, as many would like to see him prevail again for the third time in his decorated and top handed career.
“It’s the same thing with Cody [Rhodes]. It was a gentleman’s handshake with both of them,” Khan noted in the post-Revolution media scrum. “They both came to me and said, ‘I want to put this at stake.’ And both of them, I told them, ‘That sounds f**king nuts, dude.’ Both of them really wanted to do it. And in both cases I said, ‘Are you sure?’ And then they both said, ‘Yeah.’ So, it is an agreement we made. Second time it’s happened. He (Page) is somebody that’s known for being a man of his word, and we made an agreement. So it’s a verbal contract.”
Even though Khan is leaving the door wide open on this non-binding agreement (since it was never written down or signed officially), Page is known to be a man of his word. Should Page walk through that open door is up to him after his return. As previously mentioned, Rhodes put that same stipulation on his AEW career in 2019 in the main event of the company’s first-ever Full Gear pay-per-view against former and inaugural champion, Chris Jericho. To which, “The American Nightmare” buried his chances earlier on to ever hold the company’s most prestigious title. Instead, he went on to become a former inaugural and first-ever three-time TNT Champion before his AEW departure and return back to WWE in 2022.

When asked if he considered his win over Cena the craziest moment of his in-ring career, Dominik admitted that he didn’t. Instead, “Dirty Dom” pointed to his Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide debut, which took place on July 25, 2025 in Mexico City.
“I think the wildest one for me was showing up in AAA for the first time,” Dominik said. “Obviously, winning my IC Championship at WrestleMania, insane. Beating John Cena Survivor Series, insane. WrestleMania against my deadbeat dad [Rey Mysterio], two hours from San Diego, insane. The thing is all of those were very large open stadiums, like massive crowds. Juan de la Barrera, AAA, people weren’t expecting me.”
“I think the show was on a Saturday. The show started at 8. I got to the arena at like 8:15, so no one knew I was coming. I showed up, it was insane. This could all be bulls***, but I was told this allegedly when they were recording, it was so loud that the speakers blew out. The cameras couldn’t capture the full audio of it because it was so loud. It gave me goosebumps.”
According to Dominik, one of his long-time goals was wrestling in Mexico for AAA. And in his follow-up appearance at AAA Triplemania XXXIII on August 16, he achieved that. For his initial outing, though, Dominik attacked Dragon Lee and then-AAA Mega Champion El Hijo del Vikingo.
Dominik went on to dethrone Vikingo as Mega Champion at WWE x AAA Worlds Collide in September, with his reign still running strong to this day. Most recently, Dominik successfully defended the title against Vikingo at the 2026 Rey De Reyes show on March 14. Coming out of it, he was reportedly put under concussion protocol, and of now, has yet to be medically cleared.

Rumors of Ronda Rousey joining All Elite Wrestling have gained traction in recent days, but sources indicate that Rousey is not signed to AEW at this time.
As noted, Ronda Rousey’s surprise appearance at AEW Revolution 2026 may be tied to ongoing frustration with TKO Group Holdings over a compensation dispute related to her planned MMA fight with Gina Carano.
While Rousey made a shocking television debut at the event alongside Marina Shafir and came face-to-face with Toni Storm, a new report from Fightful Select clarifies that she is not officially part of All Elite Wrestling at this time. According to the report, Ronda Rousey has not signed a contract with AEW despite her high-profile appearance.
The report also sheds light on the reaction to her debut. Sources indicated that Rousey generated the kind of response AEW was aiming for by presenting her in a heel role. However, it was noted that Rousey herself may have expected a different type of crowd reaction during the segment.
Internally, reactions from WWE and TKO were said to be negative, with individuals reportedly surprised by her involvement in a rival promotion’s event. According to sources cited in the report, there is a belief within those companies that Rousey is currently motivated to distance herself from WWE, UFC, and TKO following the issues surrounding her fight negotiations.
At this stage, there are no confirmed creative plans for Rousey in AEW moving forward. Her appearance at Revolution was also described as convenient logistically, as she was already local to the Los Angeles area at the time of the event.
Looking ahead, Rousey is scheduled to return to MMA competition on May 16, 2026, when she faces Gina Carano under the Most Valuable Promotions banner. That commitment could play a role in determining her availability for any future appearances in professional wrestling.
For now, despite the buzz created by her AEW debut, Rousey’s long-term status with the company remains uncertain.
AEW Collision Results – March 21, 2026 – All Elite Wrestling presents Slam Dunk Saturday Collision, marking the first part of a two-night special, with the second installment scheduled to air on Sunday night.
