Brandon Tanguma is back for another solo AEW PPV recap with AEW's Revolution from Los Angeles. A stacked card lived up to the hype with many stellar matches, but unfortunately, the main event was a dud. Many are saying the "Hollywood Ending" match between Toni Storm and Mariah May should have ended the show. Other matches include Takeshita vs. Omega for the International Championship, Kyle Fletcher and Will Ospreay in a steel cage, the number one contender's match of Swerve Strickland vs. Ricochet, and much more.
