2025 AEW Revolution Match Card and Predictions

MJF vs. Hangman Adam Page

MJF needs to recapture his spark. His character has become painfully stale at times, often cutting the same enraged style of promo, teasing a deeper emotional purpose that has yet to really come to fruition.

This feud with Hangman Page has shown some potential between two company originals, but the foundation of the rivalry needs to grow through this bout. MJF needs to heel it all the way up and force Hangman to continue his descent into insanity.

Winner: MJF

Continental Championship - Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. Brody King

AEW desperately needs to trim down their mid-card title scene. Kazuchika Okada is still a "name," but his time as champion hasn't exactly moved the needle. That's not to say he still can't put on the occasional show-stealing performance.

Okada is best when facing an opponent with a different style, as evident in his recent defense against Buddy Mathews. Fellow Hounds of Hell member Brody King offers an even better dichotomy, and this pairing should get at least 20 minutes in a hard-hitting affair.

Winner: Kazuchika Okada retains

Tag Team Championships - The Hurt Syndicate  (c) vs. The Outrunners

The hottest act in the organization, Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Lashley, are proving that even in their late 40s, they still have plenty of gas left in the tank. The Hurt Syndicate is operating on a different stratosphere than the other tag teams in the division, and until the Young Bucks return, they will have no resistance.

The Outrunners are over with the crown and have a gimmick ideal for the social media age. But let's be honest, they won't be sniffing the tag straps anytime soon. This should be a glorified squash match, perhaps enhanced by a debuting Cedric Alexander.

Winner: The Hurt Syndicate retains

Steel Cage Match - Will Ospreay vs. Kyle Fletcher

Will Ospreay and Kyle Fletcher's decisive rubber match will be decided between four sides of steel. The insufferable Don Callis vortex has made this saga stale in recent months, but these two have magic in the ring.

Fletcher is a blue-chip prospect, but Osperay is the face of the franchise. The lack of main event babyfaces is a glaring weakness plaguing weekly programming, and Ospreay deserves a fresh storyline in a more prominent spot on the card.

Winner: Will Ospreay

TBS Championship - Mercedes Moné (c) vs. Momo Watanabe

Mercedes Moné is the perfect in-ring women's wrestler. She's flawless with her move set and can invoke any desired emotion from an audience. So why is she just going through the motions?

Moné's belt collector run suggests she shouldn't be dropping her primary strap anytime soon. That doesn't mean she can't put on a show with Momo Watanabe and mix in a few nail-biting near falls.

Winner: Mercedes Moné retains

International Championship - Konosuke Takeshita (c) vs. Kenny Omega

Konosuke Takeshita has done a tremendous job defending and raising the prestige of the International Championship and giving the belt importance. He has plenty of history overseas with Kenny Omega, who, after nearly a year on the shelf, is ready to pick up right where he left off.

Omega is due for a program with The Elite, making the proposition of him losing inconceivable. He finally ends this nonsensical war against Don Callis by beating his prized pupil clean.

Winner: (AND NEW) Kenny Omega

Swerve Strickland vs. Ricochet

Hide your scissors. Ricochet left WWE and finally got a chance to showcase his range as a performer. He's cooled off in the buildup, but he's been a stellar foil for Swerve Strickland.

Despite a pair of aerial specialists, this should be a slugfest, with blood sure to paint the canvas. The winner of this scrap gets a shot at the AEW World Championship—a proposition Ricochet doesn't feel ready for.

Winner: Swerve Strickland

Women's World Championship - Toni Storm (c) vs. Mariah May

The Oscars need to consider giving Toni Storm an award for her recent work, and Mariah May deserves a nomination. This feud has been generational and deserves a movie-esque finale.

Storm can carry the torch of the women's division and has so much more room to explore with her timeless gimmick. Cementing her stardom starts with the destruction of her former prodigy.

Winner: Toni Storm retains

AEW World Championship - Jon Moxley (c) vs. Cope

If Tony Khan was serious about a product reset, Cope would end the Jon Moxley reign of terror in under two minutes. We can all dream.

Mox has sucked the life out of the main event scene, and all his defenses have been formulaic. Even Cope trying to cripple each Death Rider one by one won't be enough to avoid the obvious interference spot to help get Mox to the finish line. This should be a fine bout until an insufferable finish.

Winner: Jon Moxley retains
