WrestleMania 37 tickets will be going on sale next week on Tuesday, March 16 at 10AM ET.
Prices will range from $35 to $2,500 and two-day combo tickets will also be available for purchase through Ticketmaster.com. WWE is using the tag “Back In Business” to promote this year’s event which takes place on Saturday, April 10 and Sunday, April 11 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay, Florida.
With seats reportedly limited to 30,000 for each night, WWE will have just three weeks time to sell 60,000 seats in total for the two nights if they want the event to be a success. This year’s WrestleMania will have no European fans as the ban due to coronavirus still applies and the international audience will be very, very limited.
The company has still not said how they plan on doing the seating while respecting social distancing rules, writing, “WWE is coordinating with local partners and government officials regarding safety protocols for WrestleMania and will share details in the coming weeks.”

Ethan Page was the other mystery participant at the pay-per-view last night, joining the Faces of Revolution ladder match as the sixth and final entrant of the match. He has also signed a deal with the promotion and is now part of the roster.
The 31-year-old Canadian is best known for his time in Impact Wrestling as part of The North tag team where he won the Impact World Tag Team title twice with his tag team partner Josh Alexander.
He last appeared for Impact at the Hard To Kill pay-per-view where he lost a cinematic match to Karate Man. Page, who did not see how Impact was going to edit the match, was left fuming after it aired, saying that Impact lied and disrespected him with the final product of the match and apologized to his fans for having to sit through it.
WWE today announced the hiring of Kevin Patrick as the new backstage correspondent for Monday Night Raw, play-by-play commentator for WWE Main Event and as the host of Raw Talk.
The Irish-born Patrick has been involved in sports and entertainment since 2004 and moved to the United States in 2009 where he joined Big Ten Network. In 2012, he joined the Chicago Fire Soccer Club as their television commentator and analyst and in 2015 he moved to Miami to join beIN SPORTS as a studio presenter and match commentator. Patrick moved to Atlanta in 2019 where he does commentary for Atlanta United and he also works for CNN International and Sirius XM.
“I’m beyond thrilled to join WWE,” said Patrick. “I’ve always been blown away by the incredible charisma and athleticism of the WWE Superstars, and I’m excited at the opportunity to help tell their stories.”
With his arrival on Raw Talk, it looks like Charly Caruso’s time there is over although the company has not announced if she will continue in other roles. Kayla Braxton hosted Raw Talk last week with R-Truth, filling in for Caruso.
AEW President Tony Khan revealed that it was Christian himself who called him to go work for All Elite Wrestling.
In the post-Revolution media conference, Khan detailed his friendship with the former World Heavyweight champion, saying they met seven years ago and how he was a fan of his before they even met. “I have been a huge fan of him as a wrestler,” Khan said. “I think he’s one of the great wrestlers in the last couple of decades. He’s had great matches in different companies and he’s been a great singles wrestler and a great tag champion,” Khan continued, adding that he thinks Christian has one of the best minds in the business.
Khan said that after the Royal Rumble, Christian gave him a call to come work for him.
“He was interested in wrestling on a regular basis and you know he gave me a call and said, ‘I’d really like to come wrestle in AEW for you,’ and I said, ‘I’d really like to have you come and wrestle for me.’ It all came together great and I think it’s going to be really good,” Khan said.
Christian, using the Christian Cage name, was unveiled as the newest member of the AEW roster last night at Revolution and was introduced by Paul Wight.
Paul Wight told the media following the Revolution pay-per-view yesterday that after he made his AEW debut last week, WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon called him to congratulate him and wish him luck in his new adventure.
Wight said that there was no bad feelings between the two and they both agreed that it was the best move for him. Wight worked for WWE for 22 long years, winning multiple titles throughout his career.
The former WWE champion also noted how changing workplace feels refreshing, especially being in the AEW locker room. Wight put over the guys in the back for their positive attitude and energy and for making him feel like a young kid again.
While the exploding barbed wire death match was a spectacle, the ending fell super flat after the explosives that were supposed to go off after the 30-minute time limit failed to ignite as they were supposed to.
Before the supposed explosions, Eddie Kingston came out to protect Moxley from the aftermath but after the botched finale, Kingston looked even worse by selling like he was just in a war zone when in fact all they had was Gillberg-like sparklers.
The AEW commentary team also had over-the-top commentary, with the three screaming “Take him out of there!” and “Take cover, take cover,” and “Oh my God!” when nothing spectacular went off.
Addressing the media in the post-show conference, AEW President Tony Khan joked that Kenny Omega “built a dud” and they’re lucky that the bombs didn’t go off and hurt anyone. “Who would’ve thought when he drew up the big plan with crayons that maybe the bomb might fail to take both guys out?”
Khan still defended the botched ending though, saying that he doesn’t know what people “really wanted” unless fans were demanding that they “actually explode the guys” in the grand finale. “I think the basic explanation is that Kenny’s ring, which was set to explode, as a heel who built this thing with a hammer and nails as we saw…that the final bomb just didn’t go off,” Khan said.
Moxley, who lost the match, also addressed the ending, saying that Omega is a tough son of a bitch but he can’t make an exploding ring worth a sh!t. “I’ve seen more dangerous sh!t on Ridiculousness on MTV. What the f*ck was that?”
Miro also chimed in on Twitter saying that Omega is “such a bad engineer” while WWE Superstars Shotzi Blackheart and T-Bar of Retribution got in on the fun with their own zingers.
Blackheart simply posted a gif of Gillberg coming out with sparklers while T-Bar wrote, “Tune in tomorrow night at 8PM EST for an explosive new episode of @WWE Monday Night RAW on the @USA_Network!”
We have all spent hours back in the day watching our favorite WWE superstars fight each other and put on a show. However, have you ever asked yourself how it would feel and be if you’d share a table at the casino with one of them? Well, if you haven’t asked yourself that, we have and we have some fun fictional situations to share with you! It would be great to see how they would react if they lost all their money or won everything.
The Undertaker
We all remember the Undertaker and how scary he used to be when we were just kids watching his fights. Plus, his poker face is immaculate! His career lasts for over 2 decades and he essentially never broke character and we believe he would behave the same while playing poker with you. He is the owner of the most legendary streak of professional wrestling and it might be even scary to play a hand against this guy. Would you be able to read through his poker face? Probably not. Would it be scary to make him lose his money? Absolutely! But there is a chance that he would play dead serious and terrify everyone present at the table with two pairs, aces and eights, the real “dead man’s hand”.
John Cena
Everyone loves John Cena! He is charismatic, loveable, and essentially a great and cheerful guy! In the ring, he was always dead serious and his explosive temper would emerge as soon as someone would challenge him. So, there is quite a chance that that temper would show in any table game if he would lose. However, we have more of a feeling that he would enjoy playing online table games on Playojo – for more info on Playojo casino check out this site, because of the entire “You can’t see me” schtick. Even though loveable and fun, he loves being hidden and we assume that character would stay even when gambling.
Hulk Hogan
Hulk Hogan used to be the icon in the wrestling world, and he still leaves a great impression on people. Not to mention how it would be absolutely wild to meet him in a casino. He is known for his great charisma and vicious temper when it comes to losing, so it might get wild if he lost all of his money in a game. You can only imagine how funny and scary it would be to see Hulk smash the table of a poker game because he lost.
The Rock
The Rock is another great icon of WWE and a former champion and fighter that you would probably love to see at the table in a casino. This is because he is an amazing guy and he is not easy to provoke. Every gambler knows that it is great to provoke your opponent in order to get their money, but it would be interesting to try and probe the nerves of Dwayne Johnson.
Randy Orton
Randy Orton is another living legend from the WWE world and we would love to see him at a casino. Especially if it’s a big-money game, since Randy is not one of those people who will settle for anything small. However, if he would lose, he would probably start a chair fight that none of us would love to be part of.
Besides watching wrestling and betting some money on great legends, we bet that you would love to play some table games against them. So, to save you some time we have imagined the most fierce and popular icons from this world and how they would behave in a casino. Don’t be shy to tell us if we were right about some of these.
Here are the results from last night’s Revolution pay-per-view which took place from The Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida.
Britt Baker and Maki Itoh defeated Thunder Rosa and Riho in the Buy-In show; The Young Bucks defeated Chris Jericho and MJF to retain the AEW World Tag Team titles; Rey Fenix and Pac won the Casino Tag Team Royale to earn a future shot at the AEW World Tag Team titles; Hikaru Shida defeated Ryo Mizunami to retain the AEW Women’s title; Miro and Kip Sabian defeated Orange Cassidy and Chuck Taylor; Hangman Adam Page defeated Matt Hardy in a big money match; Scorpio Sky defeated Lance Archer, Max Caster, Cody Rhodes, Penta El Zero Miedo, and mystery entrant Ethan Page to win the Face of the Revolution ladder match to become the #1 contender for the TNT title; Sting and Darby Allin defeated Brian Cage and Ricky Starks in a cinematic street fight; Kenny Omega defeated Jon Moxley in an exploding barbed wire death match to retain the AEW World title.
One of the highlights of this year’s Royal Rumble will not be used much anymore, if at all, as former World Heavyweight champion Christian was revealed as the mystery signing at Revolution yesterday.
Using his Impact Wrestling name again of Christian Cage, the former WWE Superstar was unveiled by Paul Wight during the pay-per-view and signed his contract on the show. He did not speak at all.
The 47-year-old returned to the ring at the Royal Rumble as one of the mystery entrants after an absence of seven years from the ring due the concussion-related problems. Christian was not used again by WWE after the Rumble and during a post-match interview, he said he was promised one more match and that might have been it.
During his WWE career, Christian won the World Heavyweight title twice, the ECW title twice, the European, Hardcore, and Light Heavyweight title once, the Intercontinental title four times, and won the Tag Team titles nine different times with three different partners.
The tag team street fight match between Darby Allin and Sting versus Brian Cage and Ricky Starks has been already taped as this will be a cinematic match and will not be live in front of The Daily’s Place audience.
In a series of tweets, Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso said that the match was considered to be a “massive success,” noting that Starks and Cage were allowed to have some “star-making moments” while Sting competed in a safe environment. Barrasso also wrote that Darby Allin was allowed to be a daredevil and got the chance to contribute with his background in film.
Sting’s arrival in AEW had raised some eyebrows when it was revealed that he would be an active member of the in-ring roster. While taking a powerbomb a few weeks ago on Dynamite in his first bump since 2015, putting Sting in cinematic matches is the best way forward for him considering he won’t be able to work a full match live due to his several injuries.
AEW is back on pay-per-view with their highly anticipated Revolution, live tonight from Daily’s Place.
We will take a look at the full card and betting odds for each match just hours before the pay-per-view starts. Odds will most likely change by the time the show goes on the air so please remember to bet responsibly.
AEW World champion Kenny Omega strengthened his position as favorite in the exploding barbed wire death match against Jon Moxley. Omega’s odds are 1/10 and favorite while his challenger is 5/1 for a second reign as champ.
The number one contender for the TNT title will be decided tonight in a Face of the Revolution ladder match. There will be six participants, one of which remains a mystery, who will be in this match. The mystery entrant is the favorite to win, currently with odds of 8/11. Cody Rhodes and Scorpio Sky both have 7/2 odds while Lance Archer is at 5/1. Penta El Zero Miedo is 11/2 while Max Caster is a total outsider with 33/1 odds.
Chris Jericho has a chance of getting a second AEW title in his career as he teams up with MJF to take on the AEW World Tag Team champions The Young Bucks. But the Bucks are favorite to retain with odds of 4/9 while The Inner Circle members are 13/8 for the victory and title change.
In one of the most anticipated matches of the night, Darby Allin will be teaming up with Sting to take on Brian Cage and Ricky Starks in a street fight match. This is Sting’s first match since 2015 and much to no surprise, Sting and the TNT champ are 1/8 favorites while Team Taz is 9/2.
Two Japanese stars will be battling for the AEW Women’s title with reigning champ Hikaru Shida defending against Ryo Mizunami. Shida is 1/3 favorite to retain the gold while Ryo is 9/4 to win.
In the big money match, Hangman Adam Page is favorite to get all of Matt Hardy’s Q1 money with his odds at 1/8 while Hardy is at 4/1.
The tag team match between Miro and Kip Sabian versus Orange Cassidy and Chuck Taylor has no clear favorite at time of this writing as both teams have odds of 5/6.
15 teams will be battling for a chance to get a title shot at whoever are the AEW World Tag Team champions in a Casino Tag Team Royale match. Pac and Fenix are the favorites at 10/11 at the moment, with Jurassic Express following them at 3/1. Alex Reynolds and John Silver are at 5/1 while Private Party, SCU, and Santana and Ortiz are all at 8/1. The Butcher and The Blade and Top Flight share 10/1 odds. Evil Uno and Stu Grayson are at 20/1 while Bear Country are 25/1. Varsity Blondes sit at 33/1 odds followed by Alan Angels and Preston Vance and Matt and Mike Sydal with 40/1 odds. The Natural Nightmares are 50/1 to win while the three remaining, Chaos Project, The Gunn Club, and Pretty Picture are all at 66/1.
WWE has prepared a custom WWE title replica to Scottish Premiership champions Rangers FC which former WWE champ Drew McIntyre already shared a photo of.
“We share a story of ups and downs, working harder than anyone else to get back on the path to championship glory,” Drew wrote. “Congratulations to @RangersFC, winners of the Scottish Premiership. This custom @WWE Championship is YOURS!!!”
Triple H also sent in his congratulations. “Well said,” he wrote while retweeting Drew’s comment. “Congratulations to the winners of the Scottish Premiership.”
Rangers won the championship today, their first one in 10 years and their 55th overall.
WWE’s replica titles are big favorites with sports teams and the company recently signed a deal where a national sports league will get customized replica WWE titles. WWE has not revealed which league that is.
WWE has filed an application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to trademark the name NXT Takeover: Stand and Deliver. The news was first reported by the website HeelByNature.com.
The application was filed on March 2 under the goods and services section of entertainment services and the name might refer to the upcoming Takeover set for WrestleMania weekend on Thursday, April 8.
Speaking of that Takeover, there are unconfirmed rumors that the April Takeover will also be a two-night affair, with the first night airing on USA Network in the usual Wednesday time slot and the Thursday broadcast airing on Peacock and WWE Network worldwide. This would be the first two-night Takeover and a good way to sign off from the Wednesday time slot. NXT is heavily rumored to be moving to Tuesday nights after WrestleMania.
Live tonight from The Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida, AEW presents Revolution on pay-per-view. The full card is as follows:
Kenny Omega vs Jon Moxley in an exploding barbed wire death match for the AEW World title; The Young Bucks vs Chris Jericho and MJF for the AEW World Tag Team titles; Hikaru Shida vs Ryo Mizunami for the AEW Women’s title; Brian Cage and Ricky Starks vs Darby Allin and Sting in a street fight; Cody Rhodes vs Scorpio Sky vs Penta El Zero Miedo vs Lance Archer vs Max Caster vs TBA in a Face of the Revolution ladder match for a future AEW TNT title shot; Miro and Kip Sabian vs Best Friends; Adam Page vs Matt Hardy in a big money match with the winner receiving the loser’s 2021 Q1 earnings; 15-team Casino Tag Team Royale with the winners receiving a future AEW World Tag Team title shot; and Riho and Thunder Rosa vs Dr. Britt Baker and Rebel in the Buy-In show.
The Buy-In show will start at 7PM ET and the actual pay-per-view will start at 8PM ET. You can order the pay-per-view from all major providers or else online via B/R Live and those who are overseas can order through FITE.TV.
AEW is promising a major, Hall of Fame-worthy star who will be signing a new, long-term deal with the promotion live tonight at the Revolution pay-per-view.
Speculations have been running rampant since the announcement was done by Paul Wight this past Wednesday on Dynamite. What we know is for sure is what Tony Khan has confirmed: that the individual is a male and he’s one of his all-time favorite wrestlers.
What and who is “major” is obviously open to interpretation and so is the Hall Of Fame-worthy tag. Is the person coming worthy of being in the Hall of Fame or is he already a Hall of Famer? The internet wrestling community didn’t miss a beat with all the rumors and predictions. The ones that have been constantly pushed are CM Punk, Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, and Christian.
During a Q&A chat on Twitter, CM Punk immediately put a halt to those rumors, telling fans that it’s not him. But if it was him, he wasn’t going to admit that, no?
Brock Lesnar is certainly an interesting choice. The former WWE champion has been out of contract for a while and has not appeared since WrestleMania 36. Khan refused to speculate on his free agency late last year and we all know Brock is all about the money. Wherever there is money, Lesnar will follow.
Kurt Angle has uploaded that teaser video yesterday which raised a lot of eyebrows, ending the clip with “to be continued.” Angle has been out of action since WrestleMania 35 and was laid off by WWE in April of last year. While watching him walk and wrestle was a bit painful, Angle can still go and with him being retired in WWE, a spot in AEW would be ideal for the Olympic gold medalist.
Christian is also another interesting choice. Captain Charisma made a surprise return at the Royal Rumble but has not been used since. There were some conflicting rumors about his status with WWE and if he’s under a contract or not. One thing is for sure, Christian can still wrestle and was given the all-clear by the WWE medical team.
Apart from this individual, there will also be a mystery person who will be part of the Face of Revolution ladder match. The final participant has not been announced and has been kept a secret as well.
The 15 teams who will be part of the Casino Tag Team Royale tonight at Revolution have been announced by AEW.
The teams are Private Party, The Butcher and The Blade, Mike and Matt Sydal, Peter Avalon and Cezar Bononi, Bear Country, Fenix and Pac, Ortiz and Santana, Alex Reynolds and John Silver, 10 and Allan Angels, Varsity Blonds, SCU, Luchasaurus and Jungle Boy, Dustin Rhodes and QT Marshall, Evil Uno and Stu Grayson, and Austin and Colten Gunn.
The rules of the match state that order of entry will be selected by lottery and two tag teams will start the match. Every 90 seconds, a new tag team will join and individual eliminations occur when a wrestler is thrown over the top rope and both feet touch the floor. Tag teams are eliminated when both members of the team are thrown over the top rope and the match will continue until there is only one member of a team or both members of the same team left in the match.
The winner of the match will get a future AEW World Tag Team title shot.
WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle has uploaded a video on social media teasing a return to the ring.
Perhaps taking advantage of the hype surrounding the mystery arrivals at AEW Revolution tomorrow, Angle’s slick video shows him lacing up his boots with close-ups of his ring gear, placing the medal around his neck, and his several wrestling shirts before showing his face wearing the mouth guard. A very slow rendition of America The Beautiful serves as the background song of the 45-second video which ends with “To be continued.”
Angle has not wrestled since WrestleMania 35 where he lost his WWE retirement match to Baron Corbin. The Olympic gold medalist, who worked for WWE as a producer, was one of the many who got cut due to the coronavirus pandemic in April.
Tony Khan revealed during an interview with Busted Open Radio that the major surprise for tomorrow is a male wrestler who happens to be one of his all-time favorites. Khan said that this individual will be doing great things for AEW and will sign a multi-year deal on the pay-per-view.
All Elite Wrestling will kick-start their 2021 pay-per-view calendar with Revolution, live tomorrow night from Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, Florida. This is the first AEW PPV on a Sunday night.
Today, we take a look at the three title matches that are part of the Revolution card while tomorrow we will publish the odds for the full card. Remember that odds can change and probably will so be careful when placing bets with real money.
The AEW World title will be on the line in an exploding barbed wire death match with champ Kenny Omega defending against Jon Moxley. This will probably be a spectacle, visually at least, considering what’s part of the match. Omega is the clear favorite to retain the title with odds of 1/8 while Moxley is 9/2 to regain the title.
The Young Bucks meet Chris Jericho and MJF of The Inner Circle with the AEW World Tag Team titles on the line. The current champions are favorites as well with 1/2 odds while Jericho and MJF are 6/4 to walk away as the new champions.
A battle between two Japanese stars will determine who will be the AEW Women’s champion by the end of the night. Ryo Mizunami won the Eliminator tournament this past Wednesday but her odds don’t look promising for a title win. Mizunami is 2/1 to win the title while Hikaru Shida is 4/11 favorite to retain.
