Dave Meltzer Match Ratings AEW Revolution 2025
What did Dave Meltzer make of AEW Revolution?
AEW Revolution ended in all-out chaos when the new number one contender for the World Championship, Swerve Strickland, jumped the current title holder on Moxley. Just moments earlier, Moxley barely survived with his title after seeing off Cope and Christian Cage, who cashed in his shot at the World Title.
Earlier in the night, “Timeless” Toni Storm finally got her Hollywood Ending as she defeated Mariah May in one of the most violent women’s matches in company history. Tables, chains, chairs, and even shattered glass all came into play in the blood-soaked encounter that left fans wincing at every turn.
There were also big wins for Mercedes Mone, Kazuchika Okada, “Hangman” Adam Page, and Kenny Omega, who defeated Konosuke Takeshita to claim the International Championship. In the show’s semi-main event, Will Ospreay beat Kyle Fletcher in an action-packed Cage Match.
