AEW Surpasses Expectations With a Wonderfully Varied ‘Revolution’

AEW Revolution 2022 is in the books, and as is often the case with AEW, there was something for everyone.

It was a long show, 12 matches and almost five full hours if you count the “Buy In” preshow. But in those five hours there were five main-show matches that could arguably be voted best match of the night, and it really came down to your personal taste in pro wrestling.

You love hard-hitting, old-school Japanese-style wrestling? Chris Jericho vs. Eddie Kingston was the winner by a mile. You love Young Bucks–style tag team frenzy with wild highspots and boatloads of action? You have Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus beating the Bucks and reDragon. How about bloodbaths? Have I ever got the match for you, MJF vs. CM Punk in a brutal, thumbtack-filled dog collar match. If you just want to see two dudes hitting and kicking each other as hard as they can for 21 straight minutes, Bryan Danielson and Jon Moxley delivered everything you could have wanted and more. And as far as old-school, main-event, professional-wrestling world championship matches are concerned, “Hangman” Page vs. Adam Cole was an excellent capper to a great night of action.
