Clarification on AEW Revolution Zero Hour airing ‘free’ on HBO Max

Posted on by Josh Nason

This past Saturday during AEW Collision, Tony Schiavone said that the Zero Hour pre-show for this Sunday’s Revolution pay-per-view would be airing “free” on HBO Max, followed by tweets like this one promoting the same.

However, the terminology used wasn’t quite accurate.

A WBD spokesperson told our website that while the show will be in front of the PPV paywall, it will not be in front of the HBO Max subscription paywall, meaning you still need an HBO Max subscription to view it just like previous AEW pre-shows like the Tailgate Brawl editions before last fall’s PPVs.

According to the graphic shown during the show, Zero Hour will also air on YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, X and Facebook.

Toni Storm vs. Marina Shafir stipulation match set for AEW Revolution

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

Toni Storm and Marina Shafir are finally set to clash against each other at AEW Revolution after weeks of feuding.

In a rivalry that has been brewing for several months since late 2025, fans are now possibly set to witness its end next week at AEW Revolution. On the March 7 episode of Collision, Storm issued a challenge, which Shafir accepted shortly. Their upcoming match at AEW Revolution will feature the stipulation, ‘everyone is banned from the ringside.’

Tonight’s Collision also saw Shafir interfere in Storm & Mina Shirakawa’s tag-team match against Megan Bayne & Lena Kross.

Storm and Shafir have been feuding against each other since AEW Blood & Guts. They continued their rivalry during the women’s tag-team titles tournament, with Storm teaming up with Shirakawa while Shafir joined forces with Bayne.

Their upcoming Revolution match will mark their third singles match against each other. Their first match took place in 2022, which Storm won. It was later followed by a second singles match in early 2026, which Storm also won via DQ.

Big Boom AJ says he will be competing at AEW Revolution

Posted on by Josh Nason

Big Boom AJ of The Costco Guys revealed on Thursday that he will be returning to the AEW ring soon — as in next weekend soon.

In a quick video posted to his Instagram account, the 50-year-old born Andrew Befumo Jr. answered a X question about “when is your next AEW wrestling show?” Lifting weights, he said he would be in the ring next Sunday at AEW Revolution.

To this point, there has been no build to any match, either on AEW TV, ROH TV or the company’s social media accounts.

AJ last competed alongside QT Marshall on a late-December 2025 edition of ROH TV, defeating The Frat House. Before that, he and Marshall defeated RPG Vice on the Full Gear pre-show last November.

The viral social media star, known for he and son Big Justice’s love of double chocolate chunk cookies and chicken bakes at the big box store, first wrestled for AEW at November 2024’s Full Gear with a win over Marshall. He then returned at the following March’s Revolution, teaming with Mark Briscoe and Orange Cassidy in a win over Johnny TV & MxM Collection.

He also was part of last July’s All In: Texas, teaming with Hologram, Tomohiro Ishii and Kyle O’Reilly in a win over Rocky Romero, Hechicero, Lance Archer and Trent Beretta.

New title matches announced for AEW Revolution

Posted on by Shounak Chakrabarti

AEW has announced two brand new title matches as a part of the updated AEW Revolution lineup.

A few weeks ago, Thekla defeated Kris Statlander to become the new Women’s World Champion in a Strap match. She followed it up with a title defense win over Thunder Rosa. However, after their match on the March 4 episode of Dynamite, Statlander stopped the Triangle of Madness (Thekla, Julia Hart, & Skye Blue) from attacking Rosa.

Shortly after, AEW President Tony Khan announced on social media that Thekla will defend her title against Statlander in a two-out-of-three falls match on March 15th at AEW Revolution.

In the main event of Wednesday’s Dynamite, Kazuchika Okada, Kyle Fletcher, and Mark Davis defeated Adam Page, Kevin Knight, and Mike Bailey to win the AEW World Trios title.

With Page scheduled for a title match against MJF, Okada, Fletcher, and Davis will now defend their Trios titles against Knight, Bailey, and Mistico at AEW Revolution.

Swerve Strickland vs. Brody King official for AEW Revolution

Posted on by Josh Nason

A grudge match challenge from last week is now official for AEW Revolution as Swerve Strickland will take on Brody King.

King called out Strickland for a match at the pay-per-view last Wednesday with the former AEW World Champion blowing it off. On this week’s Dynamite, King called out Strickland again, but Prince Nana came out instead, distracting King so Strickland could attack from behind.

Strickland choked out and hung King with his chain before telling King he would meet him at Revolution after which Bandido ran out for the late save.

It will be their first-ever singles match in AEW and their first one-on-one match since a June 2018 MLW event.

Bandido vs. Andrade set for AEW Revolution, Brody King issues challenge

Posted on by Josh Nason

For the first time ever, Bandido and Andrade El Idolo will go one-on-one as a challenge was issued and accepted for next month’s AEW Revolution.

After Brody King’s victory over Mark Davis on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, he said he wanted a fight at Revolution and called out former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland as he is after another World title match. Strickland was shown backstage with Prince Nana and didn’t seem receptive to the callout, walking away from a monitor.

Afterward, Bandido said he was looking for a fight too when Andrade El Idolo’s music hit and he came out onto the stage alongside Don Callis. Bandido made the gun gesture with his hand while Andrade reciprocated with his fist gesture, seemingly making the match official.

The two have been on opposite ends of a trios bout in April 2022 but this will be their first-ever singles meeting.

If the Strickland vs. King match happens, it will be their first-ever singles match in AEW and their first one-on-one match since a June 2018 MLW event.

Stipulation confirmed for World title match at AEW Revolution

Posted on by Josh Nason

Despite MJF’s best efforts, the stipulation for next month’s World title match between he and Hangman Page will indeed be a Texas Death Match.

Page and MJF appeared in an in-ring segment during Wednesday’s Dynamite to decide the stipulation to accompany Page’s stipulation that if he loses, he will never challenge for the AEW World title ever again.

MJF offered a coin flip where if Page won, he got his wish for the Texas Death Match. If he lost, MJF would get his own stip: a one-way no DQ match where Page would get DQ’d if he tried using anything while MJF could do whatever he wanted.

He then flipped a coin which ended up on heads and he got his match. However, Page asked to see the coin which MJF refused as he tried to leave. However, both JetSpeed and Brodido didn’t allow that to happen after blocking his exit.

Tony Khan then told Tony Schiavone that because MJF used a rigged coin, the Texas Death Match stipulation would hold.

It will be Page’s seventh such match (5-1) and first since last July’s All In Texas where he won the World title for a second time. It will be MJF’s first such match and the fifth defense of his second title reign.

WOL: Previewing WWE Elimination Chamber & AEW Revolution

Posted on by Andrew Zarian

Andrew Zarian is back with another episode of Wrestling Observer Live, discussing the latest news in professional wrestling.

He opened the show talking about the lead-up to WWE WrestleMania and the upcoming Elimination Chamber, including what’s in this box that’s showing up on Raw and SmackDown weekly.

He also discusses last Friday’s SmackDown and the elevation of new players, including Oba Femi, Trick Williams, and Kiana James.

On AEW this week, they added a stipulation to the Word title match at Revolution and much like when they did this with Cody Rhodes, it feels like a bad idea.

Plus, Mercedes Mone’s schedule, AAA adding a stipulation to the title match at Rey de Reyes, and more!

Fight Game: The road to AEW Revolution heats up

Posted on by Garrett Gonzales

John LaRocca and I return with a brand-new Fight Game to discuss some of the most interesting topics in pro wrestling.

We gave out their thumbs up and thumbs down before focusing on the major stories of the week including two big pieces of business coming out of AEW Dynamite; the Hangman Page and MJF face-to-face, and the main event featuring Swerve Strickland beating Kenny Omega.

We also talked about Finn Balor’s presentation as the top contender for CM Punk’s belt and how it’s a little lacking.

Update on Kenny Omega’s AEW Revolution status

Posted on by Joseph Currier

An appearance by Kenny Omega is still possible for AEW Revolution, but an agreement would need to be worked out for it to happen.

Omega is scheduled to be in Japan during the week of Revolution for Capcom Cup 2026, an annual “Street Fighter” video game tournament. There is a contractual commitment for Omega to be at the tournament, but Dave Meltzer reports that Omega is trying to reach an agreement where he could return to the United States in time for Revolution on Sunday, March 15.

“Regarding Kenny Omega, as noted two weeks ago, he is under contract to be at the Capcom event at Sumo Hall in Tokyo from 3/11 to 3/15. He is trying to make a deal where he can leave on 3/14 and be on the PPV, but as of right now he still has the commitment,” Meltzer wrote in the new issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. “He said there is a possibility he can make the date but at this point he didn’t want to be in a position where he had to be on the show or where he would be teased or advertised in case he cant make it.”

Revolution is being held in Los Angeles at Crypto.com Arena. A match between Omega and Swerve Strickland would have made sense for the pay-per-view if Omega were able to wrestle at the show. Instead, they faced off on Dynamite this week with Strickland getting the win, laying out Omega, and turning heel.

The Revolution card is being headlined by MJF vs. Hangman Page for the AEW World Championship. On AEW programming recently, we’ve seen Omega attempt to get back into the World title picture. Another World title reign is something that he’s open to, but Omega believes that AEW should prioritize its future.

Kenny Omega laid out by Swerve Strickland, new report on status for AEW Revolution

In their first-ever match, Swerve Strickland defeated Kenny Omega in the main event of Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, possibly turning heel in the process.

After the match, Strickland continued to go after Omega, hanging him with a chain and then delivering a vertebreaker through the announcers table to seemingly write Omega off.

That absence will apparently last through March 15’s Revolution pay-per-view in terms of an in-ring match. Shortly after Dynamite ended, Fightful Select definitively reported that Omega will not compete on the PPV, adding that an appearance isn’t out of the question. That was the impetus for doing the Strickland match Wednesday.

Two weeks ago, it was noted by our Dave Meltzer that Omega was set to be in Japan during the week of Revolution to be part of the Capcom Cup 12 event. However, it was unclear at that point if Omega would be freed up to wrestle on the Sunday PPV.

No time limit Continental title defense made for AEW Revolution

AEW Continental Champion Jon Moxley will defend his title against Konosuke Takeshita at next month’s Revolution pay-per-view, but with no time limit.

During Wednesday’s Dynamite, Moxley called for a rematch with the twist which was later agreed to off-screen.

Moxley and Takeshita went to a time limit draw at this past Saturday’s Grand Slam Australia in their fifth-ever meeting and a rematch from last December’s Continental Classic tournament where Takeshita pinned Moxley for the first time.

It was Moxley’s first title defense since winning last year’s Classic. Takeshita is looking for his first AEW singles title since his 148-day International title run ended in March 2025.

FTR vs. Young Bucks V official for AEW Revolution

Posted on by Josh Nason

The fifth meeting between AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR and the Young Bucks is official for next month’s Revolution pay-per-view.

The title match for Sunday, March 15 was announced during Wednesday’s Dynamite. FTR and Stokely Hathaway were doing an in-ring promo running down the Bucks when they snuck in from behind, superkicked the champions, and then did the same to Hathaway.

Afterward, Matt & Nick Jackson suggested they get their earned title shot at the PPV which was later confirmed. The two earned the opportunity on last week’s Dynamite by virtue of their victory in a three-way tag team eliminator featuring The Rascalz and the returning Private Party.

Winning the belts at last November’s Full Gear, FTR are in their third AEW Tag Team title run and will be looking to defend the titles for a fourth time. Conversely, the Bucks will be looking for their fourth title run and their first since April 2024.

Their first-ever meeting came at 2020’s Full Gear which saw the Bucks defeat FTR for the titles. The two teams rematched on an April 2022 edition of Dynamite which saw FTR retain both the AAA & ROH Tag Team titles.

They would meet for a third time at August 2023’s All In London where FTR retained the AEW Tag Team titles with their last clash coming at April 2024’s Dynasty where the Bucks defeated FTR in a ladder match for the then-vacant titles.

MJF vs. Hangman Page World title match at AEW Revolution to have double stipulations

Posted on by Josh Nason

Image: AEW

The stakes have been raised for the AEW World title match between MJF and Hangman Page at next month’s Revolution pay-per-view.

The two had a face-to-face confrontation on Wednesday’s Dynamite where Page said the title match needed something a bit more like a stipulation. MJF had no interest and insisted on a simple “professional wrestling match.”

Page insisted and then offered up that if MJF agrees to a stipulation of his own choosing, he will never challenge for the AEW World title again ever if he loses.

MJF quickly agreed, but said he needs a week to figure out what he wants to do as he doesn’t shoot first and ask questions later like Page does. The former champion then said the stipulation he wants is a Texas Death Match which MJF didn’t seem too thrilled about.

The match will be their fourth ever singles meeting with Page leading the unofficial series 2-1.

Potential scheduling conflict for Kenny Omega and AEW Revolution

Posted on by Josh Nason

While Kenny Omega’s path to an AEW World title match at Revolution ended on Wednesday’s Dynamite, his availability for the March pay-per-view has another potential complication.

Noted during Wrestling Observer Radio by Dave Meltzer and announced by Omega last September, Omega is scheduled to be in Tokyo, Japan, for the five-day Capcom Cup 12 event as 48 players will play the Street Fighter 6 game for a $1 million grand prize. Omega did some motion capture work for the game.

The event runs from March 11 through March 15 with Omega meet & greets set for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. It’s unclear if he will also remain in Tokyo through Saturday and Sunday, the latter of which is the date for Revolution. The PPV takes place in Los Angeles which is roughly a ten-hour direct flight from Tokyo.

Wednesday’s Dynamite teased a future match between Omega and Swerve Strickland as they had to be pulled apart following Omega’s loss to Andrade El Idolo that saw Strickland attempt to aid Omega only to lead to a distraction.
