AEW Revolution
Los Angeles, California, at Crypto.com Arena
Aired live March 15, 2026, on pay-per-view
AEW Revolution pre-show results: Big Boom AJ and QT Marshall beat Shawn Dean and Carlie Bravo in 7:40, and Willow Nightingale defeated Lena Kross in 11:00 to retain the TBS Title.
The pay-per-view started with pyro on the stage while the pre-show battle royale continued. The match came down to Ricochet and Perry as the final two. Perry had Ricochet on the apron when he went up top. Ricochet pulled him off and had him on his shoulders. Perry surprised him with a Poison Rana on the apron, which sent Ricochet to the floor to end the match.
Jack Perry won the 21-man Blackjack Battle Royale in 21:55 to win the AEW National Championship.
Powell’s POV: A spot-fest battle royal. There were long stretches that had a few wrestlers performing spots inside the ring while most of the others fought on the floor. I threw my hands up when it came to keeping track of most of the eliminations. The live crowd enjoyed the big spots, but I’d be fine if this turns out to be the last Blackjack Battle Royale. I’d be annoyed by the title changing in a battle royal if I actually cared about the AEW National Championship.
A video package set up the AEW Tag Team Title match… Another video package spotlighted Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson, and had their children speaking about how they are great fathers. Ring announcer Arkady Aura delivered the introductions while the entrances for the opening match took place. Stokely Hathaway was in his wheelchair…
1. “FTR” Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler (w/Stokely Hathaway) vs. “The Young Bucks” Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson for the AEW Tag Team Titles. Yes, of course, Rick Knox was the referee. The broadcast team was Excalibur, Nigel McGuinness, and Tony Schiavone. The Young Bucks’ parents and other family members were in the front row.
The Bucks jumped out to a quick start. Nick went for a flip dive, but FTR caught him and slammed his head on the broadcast table before dumping him into the timekeeper’s area. Matt set up Wheeler for a piledriver on the apron, but he stuffed it, and then FTR hit Matt with a spike piledriver on the apron. Nick returned to ringside with a bloody forehead.
FTR isolated Nick while Matt was down. Nick fought back and wanted to tag. Matt was about to climb onto the apron, but Wheeler cut him off. Nick eventually made a hot tag. Matt ended up on the floor and got a pep talk from one of his kids. Matt set up for a move on the apron with Wheeler inside the ring, but Harwood grabbed Matt’s legs.
Harwood brought Mtat over to the area in front of his family and ended up having a drink thrown on him. Back in the ring, Matt hit Harwood with a crossbody block for a near fall. Harwood bled from the forehead. Nick was shown with a crimson mask on the floor. The Bucks eventually caught both FTR members in Sharpshooters, but they both reached the ropes to break the holds.
A short time later, Wheeler put Nick down with a brainbuster on the floor. In the ring, Harwood performed a sit-out powerbomb on Matt for a near fall. The Bucks ended up on the apron and pulled Harwood and Wheeler over the top rope with suplexes that left all four men down on the floor. Nick slipped on the ringside mat. Excalibur said Nick slipped in a puddle of blood.
All four men met in the middle of the ring. FTR took the first shot, but the Bucks came right back with a series of superkicks. Matt scooped up Wheeler while Nick set up for a move on the apron. Hathaway stood up (it’s a miracle!) and grabbed Nick’s legs. Nick kicked Hathaway and then went for a springboard move, but FTR hit him with a Shatter Machine on the way down, which led to a good near fall.
Moments later, FTR hit Nick with a spike piledriver. Harwood covered him and got the three count. The referee spotted that Nick’s foot was draped over the bottom rope and then waved off his three count. FTR hit Nick with superkicks to the head while he was down on the mat.
FTR hit Nick with a BTE Trigger. Harwood covered Nick, who immediately kicked out and Hulked up. FTR went for another Shatter Machine, but Matt returned to stuff it. The Bucks hit Harwood with a Shatter Machine. They cleared Wheeler from the ring and then hit Harwood with a BTE Trigger, but he kicked out of the pin attempt that followed.
Moments later, Nick took out Hathaway with a suicide dive. Nick returned to the apron and joined Matt in hitting a Meltzer Driver for a great near fall. FTR came back with a spike piledriver on Matt. They pulled Nick off the ropes and hit him with a Shatter Machine, which led to Harwood pinning him.
“FTR” Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler defeated “The Young Bucks” Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson in 18:50 to retain the AEW Tag Team Titles.
After the match, the lights went out while Harwood, Wheeler, and Hathaway were celebrating their win. The word “Even” appeared on the screen, and then letters were added to spell “Revenge” along with a Rated R-style logo.
Adam Copeland made his entrance and stood on the ramp. The countdown started, and then Christian Cage’s entrance theme played. Christian entered the ring behind FTR. Christian turned Wheeler around and sprayed something in his eyes. Christian performed the Killswitch on Harwood, and then Coopeland speared Wheeler.
Hathaway was left alone in the ring and tried to befriend Copeland and Cage. Christian let Hathaway shake his hand and then hit him with a Killswitch before dumping him to the floor. Copeland and Cage picked up the tag team title belts and looked down at Harwood, Wheeler, and Hathaway. The Young Bucks returned to the ring. Copeland and Cage placed the belts down in the middle of the ring. Copeland’s entrance theme played…
Powell’s POV: This was easily my favorite FTR vs. Young Bucks match to date. I was happy to see FTR retain. Sure, it would have been a live crowd-pleasing moment had the Bucks won in California, but I don’t think most AEW fans were clamoring for it. The company is better off waiting until the fans are truly behind the Bucks or another team before they pull the trigger. It might end up being Adam Copeland and Christian Cage, who were over big with the live crowd.
