Tony Khan discusses Ronda Rousey’s surprise at Revolution

During the post-Revolution media scrum, AEW President Tony Khan said that Ronda Rousey is always welcome and noted how she has always been good to him.

When asked about Rousey’s appearance, Khan stuck to the script and said that Rousey and Shafir are friends and Shafir brought Rousey with her as “backup.” Both Shafir and Toni Storm will battle in a no holds barred match on Dynamite on Wednesday but he gave no hints if Rousey will be there.

Khan also said that he was invited by Rousey to attend her MMA fight on May 16 and AEW wrestlers are also welcome to attend.

The show is promoted by MVP, which is Jake Paul’s company, the brother of WWE Superstar Logan Paul, and streams live on Netflix, WWE’s worldwide media rights partner.

Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay return at Revolution 2026

AEW got some star power back after the returns of Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay last night at the Revolution pay-per-view.

Ospreay’s return came after Jon Moxley successfully defended the AEW Continental title against Konosuke Takeshita. After the Death Riders celebrated with Moxley in the ring, Ospreay’s music hit the speakers to another loud pop. Ospreay ran to the ring and attacked Moxley, but The Death Riders ganged up on him, only for Ospreay to recover quickly and beat their ass one by one.

The very talented and popular British star underwent back surgery to repair two herniated discs in September of last year.

Later in the broadcast, Kenny Omega also made his return, saving Brody King from a post-match attack by Swerve Strickland and Prince Nana. Strickland had just beaten King and was about to smash King’s head with a cinderblock but Omega ran out to make the save. Strickland and Nana eventually bolted and Omega celebrated with King in the middle of the ring.

Omega last wrestled a month ago, losing to Strickland on Dynamite.

“Hangman” Adam Page no longer in AEW World title picture, Khan comments on decision

“Hangman” Adam Page failed to beat MJF for the AEW World title last night at Revolution and now cannot challenge for the AEW World title ever again regardless of who the champion is.

This was part of the Last Chance Texas Deathmatch stipulation, a very violent 46-minute match which ended with MJF hanging Page in a similar move which Page used to defeat Jon Moxley last year.

“Hangman” went to sleep and hit the camera on his way down, leaving blood all over the lens which was not wiped down. The referee counted to 10 and Page was unable to respond, losing the match.

Speaking to the media after the show, AEW President Tony Khan described the stipulation as a “gentleman’s handshake” between both parties, with Khan mentioning how the same thing happened with Cody Rhodes.

“They both came to me and said, ‘I want to put this at stake.’ And both of them, I told them, ‘That sounds f*cking nuts dude!’ Both of them really wanted to do it,” Khan explained.

“And in both cases I said, ‘Are you sure?’ And they both said, ‘Yeah.’ So, it’s an agreement we made. Second time it’s happened,” he continued.

Khan noted that Adam Page is known for being a man of his word and the agreement they both made is a verbal contract.

Adam Copeland and Christian Cage return at Revolution 2026

Adam Copeland and Christian Cage returned to AEW last night at Revolution.

The duo arrived after FTR defeated The Young Bucks to retain the AEW Tag Team titles and while FTR were celebrating with Stokely, the house lights went out and the word Revenge was displayed on the video screen.

Copeland’s theme song then hit the speakers to a huge pop and he came out on stage. That was followed by Cage’s music but instead of joining Copeland on the stage, Cage entered in the ring behind FTR and Stokely, spraying Cash Wheeler’s eyes and hitting the Killswitch on Dax Harwood.

In the meantime, Copeland followed and met Wheeler with a spear, leaving Stokely all alone. Cage hit another Killswitch on Stokely and the two picked up the AEW Tag Team titles which were left in the ring.

But that is not all…The Young Bucks suddenly entered the ring and the four had a stare down as FTR looked on from outside the ring.

Ronda Rousey makes surprise appearance at Revolution 2026

Ronda Rousey was the talk of the town yesterday after she made a surprise appearance at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view, her first in the company.

The former Raw and Smackdown Women’s champion showed up after Toni Storm defeated her friend Marina Shafir and entered the ring, pointing to Storm who was lying on the stage. Storm sat up like The Undertaker and eventually got back to her feet and made her way to the ring.

But before things could get physical, a lot of referees and security entered to keep them away from each other and Rousey eventually left with Shafir through the crowd, with both of them flipping off fans.

The crowd did not particularly like Rousey and booed her out of the arena.

Rousey’s last time in a wrestling ring was in November 2023 when she teamed up with Shafir in Ring of Honor.

The self-proclaimed “baddest woman on the planet” is currently training to return to MMA and fight Gina Carano on May 16, a fight by MVP Promotions which will air live on Netflix.

Dominik Mysterio suffers nasty head wound after unprotected chair shot at AAA Rey de Reyes

WWE AAA

AAA Mega champion Dominik Mysterio suffered a nasty gash on the top of his head after he was whacked with a steel chair by El Hijo Del Vikingo.

The unprotected chair shot opened Mysterio the hard way and his father Rey quipped on the English commentary track that maybe with the shot, Dom will now recognize him as his father.

The young Mysterio posted a photo of his nasty wound on Instagram after the match, writing just, “#ANDSTILL.”

Mysterio defeated Vikingo in the main event of night one of Rey de Reyes last night despite the intervention from Dorian and Omos. He won after he returned the favor to Vikingo with a chair shot, a 619, and a frog splash.

With Mysterio’s win, Vikingo cannot challenge for the AAA Mega title as long as the Judgment Day member remains champion. Had Mysterio lost, the stipulation was that he had to leave AAA.
