In the main event segment of the show, Cope and White brought the briefcase to the ring and threatened to open it unless Moxley agreed to face Cope for the world championship at Revolution. Cope had been angling to get that match from Moxley for weeks.

Moxley said that because he loved the AEW World Championship and was the keeper of it, he would accept the match. After he did, Moxley told Cope that he would break his neck during the match on PPV.

Other matches for AEW Revolution have not been announced at this time. The show will take place from inside the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California. Revolution has been a pillar event for AEW since the company began in 2019.

Moxley has been the AEW World Champion since November of 2024. He defeated Bryan Danielson to win the belt for a record fourth time.
