AEW Revolution early card predictions: Time for MJF to shine

Kenny Omega vs. PAC – 2 out of 3 Falls

After much nagging and threatening on behalf of PAC towards the AEW Women’s Champion Riho, Kenny Omega finally granted a rubber match between himself and PAC for next week’s Dynamite in a 30-minute Iron Man Match.

However, because AEW still has a PPV to sell, I think that match will go to a draw – for the sake of practicality, let’s say it ends on a 2-2 tie before those 30 minutes are all said and done – and leave the door open for one final finale at the PPV. And you can’t get much more definitive than a 2 out of 3 Falls Match.

Again, for practicality’s sake, let’s just say that PAC wins with a 2-1 lead.

Winner: PAC

Now I know what you’re thinking, dear reader: “But what about Omega’s Tag Team Championship with Hangman Page?” Well, dear reader, that’s exactly why Omega has a singles match of his own. He’s pulling double duty at the PPV.

Kenny Omega and Hangman Page vs. The Young Bucks

Going into the PPV, Hangman would be badgering Omega, calling him selfish for opting to settle his feud with PAC rather than rest and focus on their title defense competition.

Especially when that competition is arguably the best tag team in the world in The Young Bucks (who I predict to win the number one contenders Battle Royal next week, just because of the animosity that’s been building over the weeks between these four).

For the match itself, I’d say that Page would have to pull a page (no pun intended, I swear) out of the Owen Hart vs. Bret Hart handbook. You know, the part where that feud officially kicked off with Owen kicking Bret’s leg out of his leg after they failed to win the Tag Titles?

In a slight twist of events, Omega still spent from his last match is struggling to carry his load in the match. Even worse, he’s depending too much on fighting spirit (maybe even stubbornness) to tag to his fresh partner. A title change looks inevitable, no matter how much sympathy The Bucks show towards Omega.

That is, until Page cheats to win. Perhaps a ref gets knocked down and Page wallops both Nick and Matt Jackson with chairs, draping Omega’s exhausted, unconscious body over one of them, then waking the ref up to count the pin.

And despite Omega unknowingly getting that pin, and because Hangman is gonna Hangman, Hangman goes on to gloat about how he retained the belts all by himself and that by beating the best tag team in the world by himself, he is the best wrestler in the world. Gloating like this continues to plant seeds of dissension between Omega and Page.

Winners: Omega and Page
