AEW Revolution 2026 delivered in a big way and might go down as one of the best AEW PPVs to date. From hard hitting matches to major storyline progression and surprise returns, this show had a little bit of everything without feeling bloated.
We break down the full card including FTR vs Young Bucks, MJF vs Hangman in a brutal Texas Death Match, Jon Moxley vs Konosuke Takeshita, Swerve Strickland vs Brody King, and more. We also talk about how the show connected from start to finish, including Willow’s injury carrying into the Women’s Tag Title match.

Plus, huge returns from Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay that shift the direction of AEW heading into Dynasty and Double or Nothing.

Was this AEW’s best PPV in years? We give our full thoughts and final grade.
