Jon Moxley defended the gold at AEW Revolution, and the match ended with some controversy.
Cope challenged Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship at AEW Revolution. The match featured a ref bump and plenty of interference, as Wheeler Yuta got involved and Jay White attacked him, but White inadvertently hit Cope as well.
Christian Cage threw a wrench in Cope’s plans as he broke up the pin following multiple Spears and cashed in his contract for a world title shot. Despite his best efforts to pin Cope, Cage failed to do so, as Moxley choked the leader of The Patriarchy out with the bulldog choke to ensure that he left with the title.
However, Swerve Strickland crashed Jon Moxley’s celebration, as he dove off the guardrail and took Moxley down with a Swerve Stomp. Strickland earned a world title shot earlier in the show by defeating Ricochet.
