I\\u2019m Matt Carlins and this is JUST Pro Wrestling News for Monday, March 8, 2021.

\\n\\n

This update is brought to you by IndyWrestling.us.

\\n\\n

Let\\u2019s get right into last night\\u2019s AEW Revolution pay per view.

\\n\\n

Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley delivered a brutal and bloody main event in their Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match for the AEW Championship - but the final moments of the show underwhelmed at least some fans.

\\n\\n

Omega got the win after the Good Brothers delivered an exploding baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire to the ring. Omega hit Moxley with it and then delivered a One Winged Angel onto an open and upright steel chair.

\\n\\n

The pinfall came just minutes before the 30-minute countdown to the ring exploding was set to run out. Omega and the Good Brothers handcuffed and beat down Mox for a bit. Then, made a run for it.

\\n\\n

Mox was left alone in the ring, but as the final seconds ticked away...Eddie Kingston ran to the ring and threw himself on top of Moxley to protect him from the final blast - which may be a bit of an overstatement. The live crowd was not impressed by the final burst of sparks and smoke. Some booed...even as Kingston and Moxley were lying motionless.

\\n\\n

After the pay per view went off the air, Mox went into \\u201cdamage control\\u201d mode as he addressed the live crowd.

\\n\\n

During the post-show media call, Tony Khan basically admitted the final explosion was a \\u201cdud\\u201d, while also shifting the blame, in storyline, to Omega.

\\n\\n

\\n\\n

The \\u201chuge\\u201d signing revealed at Revolution was...Christian Cage. Khan said he reached out to him personally...and Khan said he had no idea Christian was NOT under contract with WWE. Christian returned from retirement at the Royal Rumble just weeks ago.

\\n\\n

The surprise 6th participant in last night\\u2019s ladder match for a TNT Championship match...was former Impact Tag Team Champion Ethan Page. He didn\\u2019t get the win. Instead, it was Scorpio Sky. He\\u2019s set to get his title shot against Darby Allin on Wednesday\\u2019s Dynamite.

\\n\\n

There was a THIRD surprise during the Buy-In pre-show. Maki Itoh was a late substitute as Dr. Britt Baker\\u2019s tag team partner...and they defeated the team of Thunder Rosa and Riho.

\\n\\n

Khan said we\\u2019ll see more of Maki Itoh going forward.

\\n\\n

Hikaru Shida beat Ryo Mizunami to retain the AEW Women\\u2019s Championship.

\\n\\n

The Street Fight between Sting & Darby and Brian Cage & Ricky Starks was a purely cinematic presentation...with Sting pinning Starks to get the win. During the post-show media call, Darby Allin said he handled the bulk of producing the Street Fight. As for Sting\\u2019s future, Khan said we \\u201cmight\\u201d see Sting wrestle again.

\\n\\n

The Young Bucks beat Chris Jericho and MJF to retain the AEW Tag Titles. Jericho was pinned with the Meltzer Driver.

\\n\\n

Pac and Rey Fenix won the Casino Tag Team Royale and a shot at the Tag Titles. It\\u2019s not known when that match will happen, but AEW did announce a one-on-one match between Fenix and Matt Jackson for Wednesday\\u2019s Dynamite.

\\n\\n

QT Marshall abandoned his tag partner Dustin Rhodes by eliminating himself during the Tag Team Royale.

\\n\\n

Hangman Page beat Matt Hardy in their Big Money Match. Page got an assist from the Dark Order, and celebrated with them after the match. But during the post-show media call, Page was very clear that this does NOT mean he\\u2019s joining the Dark Order.

\\n\\n

Miro and Kip Sabian beat Orange Cassidy and Chuck Taylor when Miro submitted Taylor.

\\n\\n

AEW\\u2019s next pay per view will be another Sunday night show - Double Or Nothing was announced for March 30th.

\\n\\n
