| AEW Revolution 2021 Spoilers |
Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match for the AEW World Championship: Kenny Omega (c) vs. Jon Moxley
It took a long, long, long time to get to this announcement. I figured it would have to be Moxley in some sort of a hardcore gimmick match. This should be awesome, absolutely brutal and the type of thing that steals the show.
I'm down for it, even though to be honest, I've felt like there are too many feuds going on right now that have watered down the animosity between Omega and Moxley. So while I'm not personally too invested in the storyline of the feud, I'm fully on board with these two kicking the crap out of each other.
AEW Women's World Championship Match: Hikaru Shida (c) vs. Ryo Mizunami
I'm not super big on the joshi stuff being AEW's go-to for this division. Since I'm not familiar with Mizunami (because holy shit guys, I can't watch every single WWE show, every single AEW show, and on top of that, check out Impact, New Japan, ROH, MLW, etc...nobody has that much time on their hands), this kind of means nothing to me other than "it's a match" and "maybe it'll be good since I don't know otherwise." So yeah...it's a match...and maybe it'll be good, but I don't know otherwise.
Face of the Revolution Ladder Match: Cody Rhodes vs. Lance Archer vs. Max Caster vs. Penta El Zero Miedo vs. Scorpio Sky vs. TBA
Any time there's a mystery person, I'm leaning in that direction. Every other person could theoretically win and just lose their title shot on Dynamite in a match that doesn't ultimately matter, though, which means this is hard to pick. Couldn't you see a scenario where Caster, for instance, just has a random match against Allin and that's all that comes about?
But if you dangle a "TBA" out there, I'm calling them out as the winner.
Street Fight: Sting and Darby Allin vs. Brian Cage and Ricky Starks
You're going to hate me for this, but I'm not at all into this match. It will most likely be a cinematic match, which is one thing that I haven't enjoyed all that much, or something that heavily hides Sting not taking lots of bumps. Sting's inclusion in AEW hasn't been as awe-inspiring to me as a lot of other people, which is another thing to give it thumbs down. This feud with Cage and Starks against Allin has gone on long enough that I stopped caring months ago. Allin also isn't a strong TNT champion in my mind. The Allin and Sting connection is very base-level as it's just a face paint thing and nothing more. To be honest, this is kind of blah, even though on paper, it seems like a massive, massive deal. The babyfaces win. Nothing to write home about.
PREDICTION: Sting and Darby Allin win.
AEW World Tag Team Championship Match: The Young Bucks (c) vs. The Inner Circle (MJF and Chris Jericho)
I'm 51/49 on this. I can imagine a scenario where The Young Bucks drop the titles and one where they hold on to the championships until at least they fight Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson. But since that's a cross-promotional match, they are less likely to drop the belts to The Good Brothers and the match can still happen without the belts on the line. That's why I'm ever-so-slightly leaning toward The Inner Circle becoming the new champions.
PREDICTION: MJF and Chris Jericho win the titles.
Hangman Adam Page vs. Big Money Matt Hardy
The winner of this match gets 100% of the earnings of their opponent for the first quarter of 2021. To be honest, I'm not at all into this feud because I'm not at all into Big Money Matt Hardy (or Hardy's run in AEW in general). But at least they figured out a neat little story element to go along with it.
Page wins. Hardy moves on to a different type of character, since he's going through those like a revolving door.
Miro and Kip Sabian vs. Chuck Taylor and Orange Cassidy
This feud's been going on for a while, so I guess it makes sense to put it on the card. I'm not super into the story or anything at this point, though. Hopefully, this won't take up too much time, and it will showcase something more out of Miro that I haven't seen yet in AEW. Cassidy's great and I enjoy Sabian, too, so here's hoping this is more than just an elongated "it was a match" type segment.
Casino Tag Team Royale AEW World Tag Team Championship No. 1 Contender's Match: Bear Country (Bear Boulder and Bear Bronson) vs. The Dark Order (Alex Reynolds and John Silver) vs. The Dark Order (Evil Uno and Stu Grayson) vs. The Inner Circle (Santana and Ortiz) vs. The Butcher and The Blade vs. Private Party (Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen) vs. Top Flight (Darius Martin and Daunte Martin) vs. Death Triangle (Pac and Rey Fenix) vs. Varsity Blonds (Griff Garrison and Brian Pillman Jr.) vs. The Sydal Brothers (Matt Sydal and Mike Sydal) vs. SoCal Uncensored (Frankie Kazarian and Christopher Daniels) vs. The Natural Nightmares (Dustin Rhodes and QT Marshall) vs. Chaos Project (Luther and Serpentico) vs. Gunn Club (Austin Gunn and Colten Gunn) vs. The Dark Order (Alan Angels and Preston Vance) vs. The Pretty Picture (Pretty Peter Avalon and Cezar Bononi)
This entirely depends on if Young Bucks against Good Brothers will be for the titles down the line or not. If the belts aren't involved, they're dropping the titles to Inner Circle and a babyface team wins this (with my go-to reaction being Reynolds and Silver). However, if Nick and Matt Jackson retain the titles, I'd assume a team like Private Party will win and get a title match on Dynamite. In any fashion, I don't anticipate the winners of this match to win the tag titles.
Buy In - Tag Team Match: Riho and Thunder Rosa vs. Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. and Reba
I fully expect Reba to be taken out of this match and replaced by someone else. For that matter, I'm going to say it's Thea Trinidad and she's the "hall of fame worthy" talent that Paul Wight has the scoop on. If anything other than a surprise of that caliber happens, I'll have nothing to talk about here, because the match itself doesn't really interest me at all and I think I'll end up viewing it as a waste of time where something else could have been bumped up to the Buy In instead.
