With an exciting main event feud between Chris Jericho and Jon Moxley leading the way, it is safe to say that All Elite Wrestling has gotten off to a perfect start in 2020 and with AEW Revolution right around the corner, fans should be excited about all the right reasons.
Having lined-up a stacked card for Revolution that is featuring the likes of Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley, Kenny Omega, and Nyla Rose among other notable names, All Elite Wrestling is set to put on a show for the ages in their first pay-per-view of the new decade.
AEW pay-per-views have already given us several memorable moments in such a short span, including the debut of Moxley, Santana, and Ortiz. And in terms of in-ring product, matches between Moxley and Omega or Lucha Brothers and The Young Bucks have been a spectacle to witness.
The expectations from AEW fans are definitely at an all-time high and come February 29th, the promotion needs to make sure that they hit the ball out of the park once again. With that being said, I've listed down 5 things/booking decisions that AEW should avoid at all costs at Revolution.
#5 Jake Hager losing his first match in AEW
It has been coming for a while now but at AEW Revolution, former WWE World Champion Jake Hager FKA Jack Swagger will finally make his in-ring debut for All Elite Wrestling. In what remains to be a highly-awaited in-ring debut, Hager has certainly been impressive in his role as Chris Jericho's henchman.
However, this is the time for Hager to show the world what he is capable of inside the squared circle and in order to do so, I feel he couldn't have asked for a better first opponent than a veteran like Dustin Rhodes.
Hager has been impressive in his run with Bellator MMA and AEW will look to capitalize on the momentum and rightfully put over The Inner Circle's powerhouse at Revolution.
#4 Nyla Rose losing the AEW Women's Championship
Inside the squared circle, Nyla Rose is a legitimate beast and can easily decimate anyone who stands across the ring alongside her. Don't believe me? Well then just look at what she did to former champion Riho and took the AEW Women's Championship from her in the most dominant way possible.
Rose's title-winning performance over Riho was definitely one of the best women's matches AEW has produced in their short history so far and pairing her up against an athletic Kris Statlander could only do wonders, as well.
Statlander herself has been pretty great and has gotten over quickly among the AEW audience and at Revolution, 'The Galaxy's Greatest Alien' will look forward to ending Rose's title reign. But, with Rose having won the title recently, it is only fair for her to enjoy a dominant title reign and if AEW plans on further solidifying their women's division, then Nyla Rose needs to retain at Revolution.
#3 Hangman Page and Kenny Omega retaining the AEW Tag Team Championships
Don't get me wrong on this one but I absolutely love Hangman Page and Kenny Omega as a tag team. After all, a duo with so much chemistry deserves all the credit in the world and needs to be invested in. However, the only thing that bothers me about the pair is that they are both better off as singles competitors.
Now, I get it that AEW didn't really have anything interesting going for both Omega or Page as singles stars and having them pair-up was absolutely the right decision, so kudos to them for that. But, with AEW finally teasing a much-needed heel turn from Hangman for so long, this seems like the perfect time to break Omega and Page apart and turn the latter heel for good.
With Page finally breaking away from The Elite, not only will the fans get to witness the first crack in the group but I believe, we will see the more interesting side of 'The Hangman'. And what better way to do so other than having their fellow stablemates in The Young Bucks win the AEW Tag Titles and then Page eventually turning his back on Matt, Nick, and Omega. Yes, the original Elite trio that will probably fall victim to Page's highly-awaited heel turn.
Remember the iconic Golden Lovers vs Young Bucks feud from New Japan Pro Wrestling? This one is almost similar but with much more evil intentions from a certain 'Cowboy' that belongs to The Elite.
#2 Culminating the MJF vs Cody feud
A feud that has been full of drama, intensity, and history. Yes, if you're gonna define the groundbreaking rivalry between MJF and Cody Rhodes, then this is probably the only way to do so.
MJF and Cody Rhodes initially started out as best friends in All Elite Wrestling and the duo almost had a mentor-apprentice relationship between them. However, all of that changed within a split second at last year's AEW Full Gear pay-per-view when Cody Rhodes stepped up and challenged Chris Jericho for the AEW World Championship.
With MJF in his corner, Cody was fully prepared to get his hands on the AEW World Championship and in his way stood a veteran in the form of Chris Jericho. But, Cody's dream of winning the title wasn't to turn into reality, courtesy of MJF himself. With Cody struggling to break away from Jericho's submission holds, MJF decided to throw in the title (Deja Vu much?) and as a result, it led to Cody losing the match.
Well, here comes the interesting part, the post-match stipulation according to Cody was that if he had lost the match, he would never be allowed to challenge for the AEW World Championship again and MJF was on first-hand to shatter Cody's dreams. What led after, was a kick to the groin from MJF and a heel turn that everyone was just waiting to see.
Come AEW Revolution, a victory for MJF would be vital and would launch him into further stardom but not without controversy, as AEW needs to make sure that Cody loses the bout courtesy of heavy interference from Wardlow.
This could only lead to a rematch between the pair, this time with a stipulation (most preferably a 2 out of 3 falls match) at the upcoming Double or Nothing pay-per-view.
#1 Moxley vs Jericho ending in a No Contest
There is no surprise to the fact that the world will be watching the highly-awaited clash between Jon Moxley and Chris Jericho for the AEW World Championship at Revolution. With so much build for over the past month or so, AEW has definitely invested a lot into this feud between two of their top stars in the company right now.
It all started with Jericho offering Moxley a place in The Inner Circle faction and a gorgeous Ford GT, as well. And when it did seem like MOX had accepted Jericho's lavish offer, the former went on to lay an ambush on The Inner Circle and eventually reveal his intentions of winning the AEW World Championship.
After all, that is all that matters to Jon Moxley, however, with Chris Jericho enjoying a title reign for the ages, I'm pretty sure there is a particular fanbase out there who wouldn't want to see Jericho drop his title at any given point.
But, how could you not when you have someone as hot as Jon Moxley? With MOX currently at an all-time high, this definitely seems like the moment for AEW to put the world title on 'The Death Rider', instead of concluding a title match via no-contest just for the sake of NOT hampering either Jericho or Moxley's momentum.
