Revolution will be the first All Elite Wrestling (AEW) pay-per-view of the season for the company, and it is set to be a doozy with the AEW World Championship on the line in a match between Maxwell Jacob-Friedman (MJF) and Bryan Danielson in a 60-minute ironman match.
MJF is the reigning champion going into the fight after he defeated Jon Moxley at Full Gear back in November with help from former AEW star William Regal. Two weeks later, MJF would betray Regal when he hit him with brass knuckles and prompt Danielson to confront him.
It would spark an intense feud between two of the top competitors in AEW. Danielson needed to beat Konosuke Takeshita, Bandido, Brian Cage, Timothy Thatcher and Rush before earning the title shot and did just that. In the following weeks, MJF and Danielson would deliver some serious promos, taking personal and heated shots at each other while on the mic.

"If there’s one thing you deserve, it’s your fiancée leaving you," Danielson said with cheers from the crowd.
