AEW Revolution 2026 Results, Winners, Live Grades, Reaction and Highlights

Welcome to Bleacher Report's live coverage of AEW Revolution 2026.

All Elite Wrestling headed to Los Angeles, California for this year's event, but the main event for the AEW World Heavyweight Championship was contested in a Texas Death Match.

A total of eight titles were on the line across 13 matches, so almost every belt in the company was defended Sunday night.

Let's take a look at everything that happened at this year's Revolution PPV.

The Infantry vs. Boom and Doom

Last time in action: The Infantry and Shane Taylor defeated TDMK (ROH, March 11), Boom and Doom defeated The Frat House (ROH, Dec. 20)

Carlie Bravo and Shawn Dean took on QT Marshall and Big Boom AJ in the opening match on the Zero Hour pre-show.

The Infantry tried to take the low road to get an early advantage, but Marshall and AJ were able to quickly recover and gain the upper hand.

The Rizzler and Big Justice were at ringside and had a quick moment with the heels. This match had a lot of shenanigans, but between all of that, they tried to include some actual wrestling, too.

AJ is obviously there for the comedy stuff, but Marshall, Bravo and Dean are all talented performers, so they made sure this wasn't all about the goofy antics.

The babyfaces got the win with their tag team finisher after some ringside antics with Shane Taylor, Big Justice and, if you can believe it, Wayne Brady.

Result: Marshall and AJ defeated The Infantry

Grade: C+

---

Notable Moments and Observations

The opening video package was great.

Bravo and Dean are such a talented duo. It would be nice to see them on AEW TV more often.

Big Justice successfully taking down Shane Taylor with a spear shouldn't have looked as good as it did. Taylor sold big for that kid.

Willow Nightingale vs. Lena Kross

Last time in action: Lena Kross defeated Mina Shirakawa (Collision, March 14), Willow Nightingale defeated Persephone (Dynamite, March 11)

The TBS title was on the line when Willow Nightingale defended the belt against AEW newcomer Lena Kross.

These are two of the most powerful women in AEW, so they didn't waste much time getting into the physical action. Kross is still new to the AEW audience, but she has quickly established herself as someone to watch.

She dominated much of the first half, and Nightingale did a great job making her look like a monster heel. The champion kept trying to rally while selling an injured shoulder.

They woke up the crowd with a stiff exchange of chops, which initiated the final sequence of moves. Both women had a couple of close calls, but Nightingale was able to retain with a backslide.

As soon as the match was over, Megan Bayne appeared out of nowhere to attack the champion. Harley Cameron made the save with a lead pipe, but Willow will go into their tag title match later in the PPV at a disadvantage due to her shoulder.

Result: Nightingale defeated Kross

Grade: B+

---

Notable Moments and Observations

Nightingale was doing some good selling for Kross.

It was nice to not have their partners at ringside. The first match had so much stuff happening at ringside, so having a one-on-one encounter with no interference was the right call.

Willow has a great spinebuster. She plants her opponents flat.

The chop exchange was fun.

National Championship Battle Royal

Ricochet was at a huge disadvantage by having to defend the National Championship in a 21-man Blackjack Battle Royal.

The competitors included a wide array of opponents, including Katsuyori Shibata, Tommaso Ciampa, El Clon, Daniel Garcia, all three members of The Bang Bang Gang and many more.

The referees made The Gates of Agony leave since they were not involved in the match, so Ricochet was all by himself. The fighting started with everyone surrounding the ring instead of inside, but the rules were the same as any Battle Royal.

Having people going in and out of the ring without being eliminated allowed for different combinations of opponents to have some time in the ring to themselves without needing to work around a bunch of other people. 

The high-flyers were the main attraction, but it felt like just about everyone had at least one moment that stood out. The match lasted until past the end of the pre-show and went into the main PPV.

It came down to Ricochet and Perry at the end. After several teases, Perry finally eliminated Ricochet to become the new National champion.

Result: Perry won the match

Grade: B+

Notable Moments and Observations

Perry arrived in a special Jurassic Express bus driven by Luchasaurus.

Lio Rush was compared to Gollum by the commentary team.

AR Fox had a great springboard senton spot.

Rocky Romero was the first man thrown out of the ring.

Garcia ripped off Komander's mask before eliminating him.

FTR vs. Young Bucks

Last time in action: FTR and Ciampa defeated Young Bucks and Mark Briscoe (Dynamite, March 11)

The men's tag titles officially kicked off the PPV with Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood defending the belts against Matt and Nick Jackson.

This feud has defined the AEW tag team division at various points in the company's history. Both teams have worked as the heels and the faces, but FTR were definitely the villains this time after attacking Matt and Nick's family.

Matt and Dax started for their teams, but it didn't take very long for all four guys to start fighting all around the ring. The ref gave them a lot of leeway and didn't even try to initiate a countout.

After Matt was slammed on the announce table and Nick was busted open, the champions started looking a lot more confident.

These teams know each other so well that they could wrestle a great match without even trying, so it won't surprise anyone to hear that this was another fantastic encounter in their long-running feud.

The final sequence was a series of near-falls from both sides that ended with FTR retaining their titles with an avalanche Shatter Machine.

As they were celebrating, the lights dropped and Adam Copeland returned. Christian Cage surprised FTR from behind, paving the way for Cope to hit a Spear. They posed with the tag titles and made it clear they were coming for them.

Result: FTR defeated The Young Bucks

Grade: A-

---

Notable Moments and Observations

The Bucks had their kids with them for their entrance and a video package with the kids talking about their dads.

FTR wearing the Celtics' colors in LA was a nice touch.

The spot with Matt being slammed on the announce table looked good.

Cash slapping Dax to keep him from tapping out to the Sharpshooter was funny.

The double suplex from the apron to the floor didn't look fun for anyone.

Matt hitting Stokely Hathaway with a suicide dive was a great spot.

Toni Storm vs. Marina Shafir

Last time in action: Toni Storm and Shirakawa lost to Bayne and Kross (Collision, March 7), Marina Shafir defeated Danielle Kamela (ROH, March 7)

Marina Shafir came out without the rest of the Death Riders for her match against Toni Storm. This was the only women's match on the card without a title on the line, so this was all about their personal beef.

Shafir blindsided Storm while she was posing for her entrance, so the ref called for the bell and started the match.

For the first several minutes, the former world champion was completely at the mercy of the MMA practitioner. Storm couldn't seem to hit more than two moves before Shafir would fire back.

However, The Timeless One managed to rally and scored the win with an inside cradle. This was probably Shafir's best match to date, and Storm did a good job letting her showcase how much she has grown.

As Storm was lying on the stage soaking in her win, Ronda Rousey suddenly appeared in the ring and called Storm back. Several officials got between them before a fight could start.

Result: Storm defeated Shafir

Grade: B+

---

Notable Moments and Observations

Shafir's chop made a very loud echo.

Storm always hits a nice German suplex.

The spot when Shafir kicked the table with her bare foot looked and sounded painful.

Jon Moxley vs. Konosuke Takeshita

Last time in action: Death Riders defeated Don Callis Family (Dynamite, March 11)

Jon Moxley followed his Death Rider teammate when he came out to defend his Continental Championship against Konosuke Takeshita. There was no time limit this time, so neither man rushed to make the first move.

Once they made contact, they started trading moves back and forth in an attempt to establish dominance. It seemed pretty even until Takeshita took the fight out of the ring.

Unsurprisingly, this was a very physical encounter between two guys who pride themselves on that kind of style. They did a great job making it hard to predict who would win, which always makes any match more engaging.

Both men survived each other's finisher, so it was anyone's guess who would walk out with the title. Moxley finally retained the title after making Takeshita pass out in a sleeper to end a fantastic match.

Mox offered his hand as a show of respect. Takeshita looked like he was going to refuse it, but he shook his hand and bowed to him in the end. A video played hyping his return before Will Ospreay appeared on the stage. He ran to the ring and went right after Moxley.

He took out all of the Death Riders singlehandedly to send them retreating through the crowd.

Result: Moxley defeated Takeshita

Grade: A-

---

Notable Moments and Observations

It's always nice to get a break from Callis being on commentary for his client's matches. He can be distracting.

The way the camera was placed for Moxley's suicide dive was perfect. We saw Takeshita see it coming before Mox was visible.

Takeshita's running knee strike looked brutal.

Babes of Wrath vs. Megan Bayne and Lena Kross

Last time in action: Nightingale defeated Kross earlier in the night

Kross and Nightingale were back in the ring for the second time on Sunday, but this time they had Bayne and Cameron as their partners fighting over the women's tag titles.

The challengers didn't wait for the bell to take the first shots. They threw Willow into the ring post to take advantage of her shoulder injury before focusing on Harley in their corner.

Nightingale eventually recovered and got the hot tag, but she was working with one arm most of the time. Kross and Bayne seemed to have their number and dominated most of the match.

After hitting a double chokeslam, Kross covered Willow and got the pin to win the tag titles for her and Bayne. This was a bit of an anticlimactic finish, but it felt like the right decision.

All four women did a good job, but if they had a few more minutes, they could have made this even better.

Result: Kross and Bayne won the tag titles

Grade: B-

---

Notable Moments and Observations

Willow's shoulder didn't quite make contact with the ring post.

Bayne telegraphed Willow's pounce just a little too much.

Kross showed some impressive power in this match. She threw Willow with a fallaway slam and made it look easy.

Brody King vs. Swerve Strickland

Last time in action: Brody King won a squash (Dynamite, March 11), Swerve Strickland defeated Gravity (Collision, March 7)

Two men looked to prove who was the most dangerous man in AEW when Brody King took on Swerve Strickland in the next matchup.

Swerve made the mistake of trying to take the fight right to King and paid the price for it, but he only allowed King to have the upper hand for a little while. Eventually, Swerve hit a House Call kick to the head, followed by a double stomp on the apron to take control.

These guys didn't have any special stipulations, so they found creative ways to inflict violence upon each other without necessarily breaking any rules.

There were times when it felt like they slowed the pace down a bit too much, but that is the only major criticism against this match.

King survived several of Swerve's best shots before finally succumbing to a House Call. Strickland told Prince Nana to get a cinder block from under the ring so he could hit a Swerve Stomp, but he was interrupted by Kenny Omega.

Result: Strickland defeated King

Grade: B+

---

Notable Moments and Observations

King's chops looked very stiff.

The House Call out of nowhere was surprising and a good way to change the momentum in an instant.

The turnbuckles should be harder to remove. It looked like Swerve pulled it off with no resistance.

King took the vertebreaker on the floor perfectly.

Thekla vs. Kris Statlander

Last time in action: Triangle of Madness won a six-woman tag (Collision, March 14), Kris Statlander and Thunder Rosa defeated Sister of Sin (Collision, Feb. 25)

Thekla put her women's world title on the line against the woman she beat for the belt, Kris Statlander. This was a two-out-of-three falls match, so we knew we were in for a battle of attrition.

Thekla got the first fall when the ref didn't see Stat's leg on the bottom rope, so Stat Daddy was angry heading into the next part of the match.

The Toxic Spider kept up the aggression and looked like she might get two falls in a row for an easy victory, but Statlander didn't go down without a fight. She made a comeback and evened the score with the next fall.

The ref was knocked out of the ring, so Thekla stole his belt and tried to use it as a weapon. Stat stole it from her and whipped her with it repeatedly. She hit her finisher, but there was nobody to make the count.

She fought off Julia Hart and Skye Blue before the ref recovered and took back his belt. Thekla nailed her with a Spear followed by a pair of Stomps for the win.

Even with some shenanigans at the end, this was an entertaining contest. Thekla has cemented herself as one of the biggest wildcards in AEW and this match helped

Result: Thekla defeated Statlander

Grade: B+

---

Notable Moments and Observations

The size difference between these competitors was so big that Thekla almost looked like a child standing next to Stat.

The way they did the first fall was cool. It was a good way to protect Stat while still giving the pin to the champion.

Thekla's spider superplex looked good.

The Don Callis Family vs. Mistico and JetSpeed

Last time in action: The Callis Family defeated Jetset Rodeo (Dynamite, March 4)

The AEW Trios Championships were on the line with Kazuchika Okada, Kyle Fletcher and Mark Davis defending the titles against Mike Bailey, Kevin Knight and Mistico.

Mistico and Okada started the match, but both men tagged out after just a couple of moves. The high-flyers controlled the pace early on, but some teamwork from the Callis Family put them back on defense.

Anyone who pays attention to AEW knows how good all six of these guys are, so the only way they could have surprised us is if they somehow didn't put on an exciting match.

There was a point when all six men had been fighting so much that it was hard to keep track of who was legal and who wasn't, but other than that, this was a great use of all six competitors.

In a somewhat surprising outcome, Knight, Bailey and Mistico scored the win to become the new trios champions.

Result: Mistico and JetSpeed won the trios titles

Grade: B+

---

Notable Moments and Observations

The Callis Family was wearing letterman jackets for their entrance.

Knight and Bailey were wearing masks to match Mistico.

Mistico almost lost his balance jumping up to the top rope.

Bailey's shooting star press was a thing of beauty.

Bandido vs. Andrade El Idolo

Last time in action: Bandido lost to MJF (Dynamite, Jan. 14), Andrade El Idolo defeated Mascara Dorada (Collision, March 14)

The ROH world champion was in non-title action when Bandido took on Andrade El Idolo. Don Callis was in Andrade's corner, which was a little strange since he was absent from other matches involving his stable.

They were pacing themselves early in the match and sizing each other up, but it didn't take long for them to start picking up steam as they began trading takedowns.

Andrade was in control enough to take some time to pose with a fan in the front row for a selfie, but it also allowed Bandido to recover from a brutal powerbomb.

This was a great representation of lucha libre style and made both men look like a million bucks. They didn't need to rely on blood or weapons. They just needed to go out there and show off for the crowd to get invested.

This may not have had as much mayhem as some of the previous bouts on the card, but from a technical standpoint, it was one of the best matches of the night.

Andrade was able to pick up a clean win to cap off an incredible performance.

Result: El Idolo defeated Bandido

Grade: A-

---

Notable Moments and Observations

Mistico was confirmed to be signed to an AEW deal following his trios title win.

Andrade refusing to rip off his pants was a funny heel moment.

Bandido hits a hurricanrana with more force than a lot of wrestlers. It looks more like a takedown than a spot where both guys are mutually working to make it happen.

There were some anti-ICE chants during this match.

Andrade hit on two different women in the crowd.

The Dogs vs. Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong and Darby Allin

A huge tornado trios match took place before the main event with Darby Allin, Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong taking on Gabe Kidd, Clark Connors and David Finlay.

With no tags and a night when the refs seemed to be playing fast and loose with the rules, this turned into chaos immediately.

There was some story to this match, but it was mostly just an excuse to get these six men on the card, and that was fine because they all showed up looking to make sure they were not overlooked.

There wasn't a single second when somebody wasn't being hit with a painful-looking maneuver somewhere in or around the ring. This match was a little all over the place, but that can be a good thing sometimes.

OC, Allin and Strong got the victory by pinning Connors while Kidd was zip-tied to part of the stage.

Result: Cassidy, Allin and Strong defeated The Dogs

Grade: B

---

Notable Moments and Observations

Allin always looks like he puts all of his force into his dropkicks to send his opponents into the corner as hard as possible.

The spot when Allin was speared off the apron by Connors looked awesome.

Finlay breaking up three submissions on his own was a cool moment.

It looked like Allin meant to hit Kidd in the back with his skateboard, but he ended up hitting him in the back of the head.

MJF vs. Adam Page

Last time in action: Adam Page won a squash (Dynamite, March, 4), MJF defeated Knight (Dynamite, March 4)

The main event of Revolution was the men's world title match between Adam Page and MJF. Hangman came to the ring with barbed wire already wrapped around his arm.

The champion was bleeding from the mouth before they even started using weapons, but they were soon brought into the mix. Hangman even pulled a framed window out, but MJF broke it in the middle of the ring only for Page to slam him onto the glass a moment later.

MJF was a bloody mess after a little while, and Hangman kept finding ways to make it worse. This kind of match won't be everybody's cup of tea, but if you enjoy deathmatch wrestling, then you probably had a ball with this. If anything made you cringe, it was probably when MJF put a syringe in Page's cheek.

Neither man left the ring on Sunday without some cuts and bruises. This was easily the most gruesome thing we saw on a show with multiple matches involving blood. Page and MJF made sure they had the most memorable performance on the card.

Even if you didn't enjoy the level of violence, you have to applaud their storytelling ability and commitment. Hangman ended up grabbing a chain with two dog collars from under the ring to connect himself to MJF.

The champion freaked out when he realized what was happening. Page set up a barbed wire board on top of a table, but MJF sent him crashing through it. They both crashed into some equipment near the stage and caused a small explosion.

For more than 40 minutes, MJF and Hangman went to war. When the dust settled on this Texas Death Match, MJF won by hanging the Hangman from his dog collar until he passed out and could not answer the count.

Result: MJF defeated Page

Grade: A

---

Notable Moments and Observations

Page had a special entrance with different music. MJF had an entrance mocking Hangman's cowboy image.

MJF was wearing gear like Terry Funk wore in many of his matches, but he still had his Burberry kneepads.

Dragging a man through broken glass is one of the more violent things Hangman has done in an AEW ring.

MJF using a broom to clean the glass out of the ring was pretty funny.

MJF was bleeding a lot after being hit with the first light tube in the back.

Page left a huge blood stain on a camera.

The Final Word

When it comes to PPVs, AEW is almost always going to knock it out of the park, and Revolution was no exception.

The night featured a couple of title changes, some memorable action, and a couple of notable returns from Cope, Cage and Ospreay. 

The women's division had a very strong showing across four matches, but the biggest talking point coming out of the PPV was Ronda Rousey showing up to call out Storm. 

Bandido and El Idolo put on the best technical match of the night, but it was going to be hard for anyone to match the level of violence in the Texas Death Match. 

Page and MJF put on a classic to close out the show. The violence may have been too much for some fans, but the match was the kind of performance people will be talking about for quite some time. 

Revolution was a solid PPV, but with Hangman no longer being able to challenge for the world title ever again, a lot of fans are going to be conflicted about the ending.

Grade: B+
