Tony Khan Explains Botched Ending To AEW Revolution PPV

Kenny Omega successfully defended his AEW World Title against Jon Moxley at the Revolution pay-per-view on Sunday night, and he defended the belt in an Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch.

It was announced ahead of time that the ring would explode at the 30 minute mark, and when the last 60 seconds were counting down Kenny Omega retreated, and Eddie Kingston came out to sacrifice himself and protect Jon Moxley. However, the explosion was a dud and people are talking about the ending to Revolution for all the wrong reasons.

AEW President Tony Khan talked about the ending during a post-show media scrum, and he noted that the storyline explanation is that Kenny Omega built a dude.

“Kenny’s master plan, he built a dud. Who would have thought when he drew up the big plan with crayons that the bomb failed to take out both guys out. The battle really delivered, excellent action. Both guys came out okay, which is great because on paper, it looked like the kind of match where somebody could get hurt.”

“The plans we saw in crayon, and all through the match, we saw it. It looked very cool, and it’s a very deadly, painful match, but at the end, I mean, I don’t know what people really wanted, unless you actually wanted us to explode the guys at the end, there’s only so much you can do. So without blowing the ring and both guys up, I think the basic explanation is that Kenny’s ring set to explode, his plan, as a heel, to build this thing with a hammer and nails as we saw, the final bomb just didn’t go off.”
