All Elite Wrestling is live tonight with their AEW Revolution 2026 pay-per-view from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California.
As soon as the clock strikes 7/6c, the ‘Zero Hour’ pre-show gets underway, streaming live across AEW’s digital platforms and partner platforms. A video package for the pay-per-view as a whole starts things off. We then shoot inside Crypto.com Arena where Renee Paquette welcomes us to the show as the camera pans the venue.
The camera settles on the entrance ramp, where Paquette is joined by Jeff Jarrett and RJ City. All three are dressed to the nines. RJ City tells the Academy Awards to kick rocks, and tells the viewing audience that this is where the stars are tonight. He and Jarrett explain the many ways you can watch tonight’s event.
They run down the lineup, starting with the TBS title tilt, AEW National title Blackjack Battle Royal and tag-team tilt involving the Boom & Doom duo of “Big BOOM” AJ and QT Marshall. That takes us into the PPV card, which they run down as the official match graphics flash on the screen and the crowd reacts to each in the background.
Boom & Doom vs. The Infantry
Things are sent down to Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness at ringside for our opening pre-show contest. The Infantry, Carlie Bravo and Sean Dean, two of the ROH Six-Man Tag-Team Champions, make their way to the ring.
Lexy Nair interviews actor, singer and comedian Wayne Brady at ringside. He likes Ricochet and Swerve Strickland. The fire pyro erupts and out comes Boom & Doom, Big BOOM! AJ and QT Marshall, along with Big Justice and The Rizzler.
They hug family members at ringside and clap hands with Wayne Brady as they settle in the ring. Once they get in the ring, AJ and Marshall are attacked by Bravo and Dean before the bell rings. They fight back and it is Dean and AJ who kick things off for their respective teams.
As The Infantry settle into a comfortable early offensive lead, Dean and Bravo jaw at Wayne Brady at ringside, before taking back over in the ring. They utilize frequent tags to keep Marshall isolated on their side of the ring. The Rizzler tries swooning the valet for The Infantry for a big pop.
The Infantry hit the old-school Bronco Buster on Marshall in the corner. After Dean slips up on the top-rope, Marshall takes over and tags in Big BOOM! AJ, who begins his fired up offensive comeback for his team as the crowd comes to life.
Dean and Bravo take over, and begin beating down AJ. They get a super close two-count and then go for a double-team spot, which AJ avoids. Marshall hits the ring for a pair of Cutters off the ropes. He goes for a dive, but Shane Taylor pulled the top-rope down and he crashed and burned on the floor.
Shane Taylor punks out Wayne Brady, who calmly stands up, takes his glasses off and b*tch-slaps him. Taylor yanks Brady up and slams him over the barricade. The Rizzler tries to get in his face and he shoves him down. Big Justice comes running around the corner and spears him.
Big BOOM! AJ climbs to the top-rope, meanwhile, and hits a big dive onto the pile of bodies on the floor. Back in the ring, he hoists up his opposition and he and Marshall hit their Booms-day Device double-team finisher for the pin fall victory.
Winners: Boom & Doom
TBS Championship
Willow Nightingale (c) vs. Lena Kross
Now we gear up for our second of three advertised matches on the pre-show, which is the first of two pre-show title tilts scheduled. The reigning and defending TBS Champion Willow Nightingale makes her way out, as does her challenge, a newcomer to the scene in AEW in Lena Kross.
The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one. Nightingale enjoys some early offensive control, but it isn’t long before she finds herself on the wrong end of a prolonged one-sided beatdown at the hands of Kross, who comes close on many occasions to getting a three-count.
Despite that fact, however, Nightingale manages to hang on throughout the first several minutes of the contest. The two trade vicious shots back-and-forth that echo throughout the Crypto.com Arena. Nightingale gets Kross down in the corner and stomps a mud-hole in here. She backs up and goes for the cannonball’, but Kross moves.
Kross looks to capitalize with a split-legged moonsault, but Nightingale moves. Kross scoops Nightingale up for a Jackhammer, but Nightingale escapes, hits a back-slide on Kross and holds her in position for the three-count to retain. Megan Bayne and Lena Kross immediately attack her. Harley Cameron chases them off with a pipe.
Winner and STILL TBS Champion: Willow Nightingale
21-Man BlackJack Battle Royal For AEW National Championship
The pre-match video package airs to set the stage for our third and final pre-show match here at AEW Revolution ‘Zero Hour.’ The match features Ricochet defending his AEW National Championship against several other competitors, including Tommaso Ciampa and many others.
We return live to several of the competitors already being shown at ringside. Getting their own ring entrances are Scorpio Sky, El Clon, Rocky Romero and Trent Beretta of The Don Callis Family. Daniel Garcia, representing The Death Riders, comes out next.
Coming out after that on the challengers side of things is former TNT Champion Tommaso Ciampa. “The Psycho Killer” gets a good reaction coming out, as the commentators sing his praises as one of the odds-on favorites in this high-stakes multi-man match. The Bang Bang Gang trio also come out.
Jurassic Express, in a special bus shown arriving into the parking garage of the Crypto.com Arena, get a big entrance. Jack Perry comes out of the bus by himself as Tarzan Boy plays and the crowd loudly sings along inside the building as L.A.’s own emerges.
Finally, the familiar sounds of Ricochet’s entrance tune hits and out comes The Demand leader accompanied by The Gates of Agony duo of Bishop Kaun and Toa Leona. Referees make Ricochet come to the ring alone. The 21-Man BlackJack Battle Royal is now officially off-and-running.
Early on there is a big high spot that elicits gasps from the crowd. It wouldn’t be the last one. Not by a long shot. The match featured plenty of high spots and then a string of eliminations over and over and over again, quickly thinning out the ring.
Juice Robinson hits a running clothesline to eliminate a bald-headed Johnny TV. Katsuyori Shibata and Scorpio Sky trade shots back-and-forth as the crowd comes to life. Sky hits a big kick but is then hit from behind by Anthony Bowens with a Fame-Asser. Sky is eliminated.
Dalton Castle hits an airplane spin on Ricochet for a big pop but is blasted from behind by The Beast Mortos and Rush. We appear to be down to the final six. The Beast Mortos hits a moonsault to Castle and then eliminates him. The crowd boos, as Castle had won them over. Komander eliminates Baretta.
Garcia unmasks him and eliminates him. Garcia puts his mask on to taunt him, but Ciampa eliminates him for a big pop. Ace Austin dukes it out with Ricochet. Rush takes it to Austin and then lays down to pose before leading the crowd in a “Rush! Rush!” chant.
The commentators remind us that we’re down to two minutes remaining on the pre-show. Juice Robinson is eliminated moments later. Shibata and Robinson duke it out on the apron. Austin dropkicks Shibata to eliminate him. Cianpa eliminates Austin. Robinson eliminates Ciampa. The pre-show ends with the match still in progress.
We switch over to the pay-per-view broadcast with the match still in progress. We see it is down to Jack Perry and Ricochet, who are both laid out in the middle of the ring as the crowd is going crazy in the background. The two end up on the apron outside the ropes fighting. Jack Perry ends up getting the win. We have a new champ.
Winner and NEW AEW National Champion: Jack Perry
AEW World Tag-Team Championship
FTR (c) vs. The Young Bucks
Our third championship contest of the evening as a whole will kick things off as our first full-length pay-per-view match here on the main card, as the AEW World Tag-Team Championships will be on-the-line. FTR duo Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler defend against The Young Bucks team of Matt and Nick Jackson.
The champions and challengers make their respective ring entrances. The Bucks’ family are at ringside and FTR immediately starts messing with them. Dax and Matt who mouth off at each other before Harwood slaps Matt in the face.
He returns the favor and this leads to an exchange of strikes. Dax hits the ropes but is met with a superkick by Matt, and Nick comes running in as all four men go at it. The fight spills to the outside, with Matt eventually bringing Dax back to the ring.
Harwood fights back, but Matt fights out of a suplex. Standing switch back and forth, and Nick comes in for an assist on a German suplex. With that, Nick officially tags in as FTR retreat to the outside. Nick goes for a dive to the outside, but FTR catch him and slam him into the announce table.
This allows Matt to get the drop on the champs with a dive of his own! He brings Cash to the apron for a piledriver, but Dax intervenes and FTR connect with a spike piledriver onto the hardest part of the ring. We get a look at Nick at the announce desk, and he’s been busted open after what FTR did earlier.
He runs into the ring only to be laid out with a right hand by Harwood. Tag to Wheeler, who lays in some right hands before bringing him to the corner for a tag to Dax. Harwood continues the attack before setting up for a piledriver, but Nick fights out and lands superkicks on both men before covering Dax for two.
After some more back-and-forth action, we see FTR regain control, landing a stuffed piledriver as Harwood goes for the cover…but Nick gets his foot on the rope just before the 3! FTR land some thrust kicks on Nick, mocking him as they land a FTR Trigger.
Nick kicks out at one. He’s firing up now, laying into the champs as Matt runs in for an assist. They land a Shatter Machine on Harwood but only get two as Wheeler breaks it up. BTE Trigger lands on Harwood, but he kicks out just in the nick of time.
Wheeler sends Nick to the apron but is sent through the ropes to the outside. Nick lands a dive through the ropes to knock out Stokely before landing a Meltzer Driver, but Dax manages to kick out just in time to save the match for his team.
They look for More Bang for your Buck but Wheeler intervenes. They land a spike piledriver followed by an avalanche Shatter Machine, and that gets them the win to retain. Stoke gets back up to join his pals in the ring as they celebrate.
That is, until the lights go out. We get a strange message and when it concludes, Adam Copeland makes his way out to a thunderous pop. He’s wearing a Cope and Cage shirt, and it becomes clear that he isn’t alone, as Christian Cage makes his way out as well.
Cage climbs into the ring from behind FTR and sprays Cash in the eyes. He hits Harwood with Killswitch. Spear to Cash. Stokely is pleading. He tries to offer a handshake, but gets a Killswitch as well. Cope tosses him to the floor. The two end up standing tall holding FTR’s titles. The Bucks and them face-off.
Winners and STILL AEW World Tag-Team Champions: FTR
Everyone Banned From Ringside
Toni Storm vs. Marina Shafir
The pre-match video package airs to set the stage for our next match of the evening, which is a women’s singles showdown with Toni Storm taking on Marina Shafir, with everyone banned from ringside. The ring entrances take place and we get ready to get started.
Shafir attacks Storm as she steps into the ring, and kicks her to the mat. Knee strike to the face floors Storm, and Marina locks in a rear chin-lock. Judo throw connects, cover for just a one count. Shafir hooks the leg and rolls through into a slam.
She continues to dominate Storm in the early going. Indian Death Lock attempt but Storm reverses into a choke but Shafir flips her off her back. German suplex. Shafir is back up though, big boot to the face. Storm into the ropes, comes back with a shotgun dropkick, misses a hip attack though and Shafir looks for a German off the apron.
She drops Storm with a back suplex to the floor. Kicks to the mid-section as Storm reels against the announce table, until Storm dodges one and Shafir kicks the desk. Storm bites the foot now. Shafir goes for another kick, Storm bites it once more.
Storm hits a DDT and Shafir goes down. They get back to their feet, they trade blows, and we see a German from Storm. And another. And a third. She preps for the hip attack and connects. And again. Shafir asks for more. Storm obliges with a third. She covers her but gets two. Storm bites Shafir’s breast and rolls her up for the win.
Winner: Toni Storm
Ronda Rousey Arrives In AEW
In the post match scene, things get very interesting. While Storm collapses on the ramp and poses, we see Ronda Rousey step into the ring. She calls for Storm to re-enter the ring, and Storm doesn’t back down. Storm and Rousey go face to face but get pulled apart by an absolute ton of security and referees.
Marina Shafir sucker punches Storm with one shot, and now Rousey and Shafir leave together. Mina Shirakawa shows up to check on Storm. Things wrap up there.
