AEW Revolution 2024 airs live from the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina on Sunday, March 3rd.
Kicking off the 2024 AEW pay-per-view cycle, the main selling point of the show is Sting’s retirement match. After a legendary career spanning more than 3 decades, The Icon will put on the facepaint and step into the ring one final time at AEW Revolution, teaming with Darby Allin once again to defend the Tag Team Championships against The Young Bucks.
Additionally, Samoa Joe will defend the AEW World Championship against Swerve Strickland and “Hangman” Adam Page, if Page is cleared to compete. On the February 21st episode of Dynamite, Page seemingly suffered an injury. Despite this being confirmed as a worked injury, Adam Page’s status remains in doubt, with the injury being used to cover a potential absence.
With over 16,000 tickets sold for the event, this is likely to be the biggest AEW show in the United States and the most successful AEW Revolution in the history of the event.
Orange Cassidy (c) vs. Roderick Strong – Singles match for the International Championship
With Cassidy holding the title for a number of months and defending it consistently, this feels like a similar storyline to All Out 2023. With Cassidy getting more and more worn down and with the numbers advantage from the Undisputed Kingdom, Strong is likely to be walking out of Revolution with gold in his hand.
Winner – Rockerick Strong
“Timeless” Toni Storm vs. Deonna Purrazzo – Singles match for the AEW Women’s Championship
This is the most under threat Storm’s reign has been since becoming champion in her “Timeless” era. Purrazzo has been building momentum since debuting in AEW and has been on a clear path to a title match. Much like the International title match, interference is likely to play a factor here. The old Storm will be teased and the antics of Storm’s friends will allow for a title retention, but this is likely to continue to a rematch down the road with a more serious Storm competing against her former foe.
Winner – “Timeless” Toni Storm
Will Ospreay vs. Konosuke Takeshita
Will Ospreay returns to AEW as a full-time wrestler. No surprises for predicting this will be the match of the night from an in-ring standpoint and could be one of the best AEW matches of the year. Making a statement upon his arrival, Ospreay will defeat his fellow Don Callis Family member and begin a lengthy winning streak in AEW.
Winner – Will Ospreay
FTR vs. Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli
With the previous math going to a time-limit draw on February 21st, there must be a winner in the rematch. With FTR looking to build momentum once again and The Blackpool Combat Club dealing with a CMLL invasion, this one feels like a win for Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, possibly leading to another Tag Team Title match later in the year.
Winners – FTR
The Championship Scramble Match
Tony Khan announced that the Meat Madness match will no longer taking place due to multiple injuries. As such, a championship scramble match has been announced as a replacement, which will determine the new number one contender to the AEW World Championship. Wardlow, Powerhouse Hobbs, Lance Archer, Brian Cage, and Chris Jericho have been confirmed with more to be announced. Despite the match changing, this still feels like this is Wardlow’s time to get his long overdue title shot and will be victorious at AEW Revolution.
Winner – Wardlow
Eddie Kingston (c) vs. Bryan Danielson – Singles match for the Continental Crown
The stipulation that if Danielson loses he has to shake Kingston’s hand feels like it is foreshadowing the finish. Danielson has yet to win a championship since arriving in AEW and is unlikely to before he retires. Kingston feels like he has a lot left to do in AEW and beyond as the champion and will pick up a key victory over The American Dragon.
Winner – Eddie Kingston
Christian Cage (c) vs. Daniel Garcia – Singles match for the TNT Championship
Much like other matches on the card, once again it feels like interference will play a huge part in this match. With The Patriarchy at ringside, Garcia will be distracted throughout the match to allow Cage to take advantage. A returning Copeland will be on hand to chase off Killswitch and Nick Wayne, but ultimately this will be another victory for the 2-time champion.
Winner – Christian Cage
Samoa Joe (c) vs. Swerve Strickland vs. “Hangman” Adam Page – Triple threat match for the AEW World Championship
It’s still unknown whether or not Page will be involved in the match given the recent injury angle on Dynamite. Although Strickland will be a World Champion in the future, it won’t be at Revolution. With Joe still building momentum and Page and Strickland likely to cancel each other out if Page is in the match, Joe will pick up the scraps and continue as champion for a little bit longer.
Winner – Samoa Joe
Sting and Darby Allin (c) vs. The Young Bucks – Tag team match for the AEW Tag Team Championships
Sting’s final match and ending his career defending a championship. While the tag team have been undefeated for all of The Icon’s run, there is a strong possibility that this will be the moment when the titles change hands. Using the victory to boost their heel act, The Young Bucks will find a way to defeat the duo and walk out with the titles. However, the Jacksons will be chased off after the bell to allow Sting one final moment with the fans, ending the show on a high note.
Winners – The Young Bucks
