The Right Time For a New World Champion: Takeaways from AEW’s Revolution

Jon Moxley promised to ignite a paradigm shift in pro wrestling after he debuted last May in All Elite Wrestling. Tonight, his revolution continued.

Moxley defeated Chris Jericho in the main event of Revolution pay per view to become the new AEW world champion.

Jericho dropping the belt marked the only title change of the night, enhancing the significance of the Moxley win. After Jericho established the AEW title over the past six months, the timing was right to crown Moxley as champ.

Other highlights included the continuing rise to stardom for Hangman Page, who led the action in the tag team title match with Kenny Omega against the Young Bucks, as well as subtly hinted at an inevitable turn on Omega.
