AEW Revolution 2025 results, awards and analysis: Jon Moxley retains; Toni Storm, Will Ospreay deliver classics
- Swerve Strickland is Moxley’s next challenger, and he ambushed the champion when he made his way out of the arena. That’s how AEW Revolution 2025 concludes.
- Cope lands two more Spears and when that looks to be it, Christian Cage appears! He’s cashing in! It’s an impromptu triple-threat match! Christian spears Edge, who kicks out. Christian lands the Killswitch and Moxley returns to lock on the Bulldog Choke. Christian goes to sleep and Moxley retains. What an unbelievably lame way for that involvement to play out.
- With the referee still out, Wheeler Yuta’s inevitable appearance has arrived. He teases the turn on Moxley, but hits Cope with a knee. To make the rescue, Jay White strikes — accidentally thumping Cope with the title briefcase. Only two additional people, and it’s still overbooked. The referee gets back in the ring to do a sloth count, and Cope kicks out by a hair. Moxley argues with the referee, then turns into a Spear that nearly gets Cope the win.
- Cope just took out the referee with the farthest, worst lunge I’ve ever seen. Then he botched a Paradigm Shift when the referee was out. This is tough scenes, man.
- Slow-burn was generous. This just isn’t good and was horribly placed as the main event. I get why, but come on. What were we thinking? Moxley is targeting Cope’s neck all match, and that’s about it outside of a decent Spear through the ropes and stomp from Moxley onto the concrete. No matter the outcome, this match will prevent AEW Revolution from being perfect.
- The crowd feels incredibly dead for this match. It’s hard to blame them not just after the last match, but the whole night. Of everything on the line-up, I think everyone is mostly ready to see the Death Riders’ saga end, so it’s more about seeing that than this match, which has been a been a slowburn thus far.
- Well, we’re off to a Josh Barnett’s Bloodsport match because Cope and Moxley have solely traded elbows in close. They hate necks!
- We have one more to go, folks. The main event for the AEW World Championship. Will Jon Moxley have to cope after his battle with Cope? Or will the champion’s reign of terror continue? I feel like history could repeat itself. Imagine a Cope win, and then Christian Cage capitalizes and cashes in his contract to snatch the belt. We’ll find out in moments.
- Fletcher screams that he hates Ospreay before taking a Hidden Blade and a Tiger Driver 91. That does it. Wow. Talk about absolute madness.
- Fletcher drops Ospreay with a brainbuster onto a chair and that looked like the end, but Ospreay kicks out. If the glass earlier in the night wasn’t enough, here come the thumb tacks. Fletcher looks for the finishing touches with another brainbuster and gets countered into a Styles Clash on the tacks! He kicks out! What?! This is insanity.
- Fletcher goes to try and escape the cage again with Ospreay following him with the screwdriver. They headbutt for position atop the cage and Ospreay stabs Fletcher in the forehead with the screwdriver. Someone’s about to get thrown off this thing. Oh my. Ospreay just hit a Spanish fly from the top of the cage! You’ve got to be kidding me.
- Fletcher hit one of the craziest Last Ride-style powerbowbs you’ll ever see. Omega kicks out then takes a nasty brainbuster before Mark Davis comes down to the ring with some weapons. He opens the cage door by cutting the chain lock with some hedge cutters, and Ospreay kicks the door into Davis, taking him out. Ospreay uses the tool bag from Ospreay to his advantage and pulls out a barbed wire baseball bat, smacking Fletcher in the guy with it and sticking it to his forehead. Fletcher pleads for mercy by throwing up the United Empire logo with an arm band he pulled from his trunks. Ospreay delivered the bird and swung the bat to get countered with a low blow. Fletcher takes the bat, swings, misses and eats a Hidden Blade and Stormbreaker to apply the pin. He had the win until Davis re-emerged and stopped the pin.
- Ospreay looked all but out when the double team began. Ospreay managed to take them out and climb the cage for a wild Os-cutter that nearly won it. You know what that means? Barbed wire on the elbow pad, as Ospreay seemingly wanted another Hidden Blade. Fletcher tries to escape out the top of the cage and pulls a screwdriver from atop the cage and starts stabbing Ospreay in the head and body. Ouch.
- My goodness. The selling of Fletcher on any of the tosses he’s taken into the cage is ridiculous. He’s full-on ragdolled out there. As a performer, his screams really add a lot to his character and what he delivers.Ospreay is taking over now, while the pace slows.
- Ospreay bladed after going into the cage pretty early on. He’s got a good mask going, but it honestly feels like nothing after Storm vs. May. We’ve been desensitized tonight, ladies and gentlemen.
