10 Hidden Meanings Behind AEW Revolution 2022 Attires
New threads, old throwbacks, and some classic Cowboy Sh*t - AEW Revolution 2022's secrets shared.
The last time Revolution took place in front of a jam-packed building, the world hadn't yet completely fallen over.
2020's show featured the crowning of Jon Moxley as the Champion of the World right before he'd embody the role in ways he didn't expect, MJF finally turned on Cody to shed any last semblance that he might not be a total a*sehole inside and out, and Kenny Omega, Hangman Page and The Young Bucks assembled maybe still the best match in company history.
12 unthinkable months later, it wasn't all so sweet.
Deep into a troubling second wave of pandemic sh*thousery, Revolution 2021 is remembered more for the series of misses rather than the few hits scattered throughout. The card had thrilling flash-points despite the desolate Daily's Place aesthetic, but Moxley and Omega were humiliated by shoddy pyro, Christian Cage was humbled by Tony Khan's over-promotion of his star power and Ethan Page's debut fell flat against a bad ladder match and the unofficial birthplace of The Codyverse.
2022 was built to mirror the former, with the television product reaching an apex many felt couldn't be reached again after the 2020 covid curtain-raiser.
With the lights shining brightest, which wrestlers wowed with their wardrobes and started the company's pay-per-view year off with bang far bigger than last year's failed explosions?
10. Erick Redbeard
Sporting a t-shirt with the tenured European trad-metal outfit Grave Digger featured front and back, Erick Redbeard continued his WWE tradition of repping his most relevant favourite bands in his gear.
Working alongside Death Triangle (particularly with Penta's own aesthetic shift to include a literal shovel and tombstone during his entrance), Redbeard fit well in with the group in place of the injured Rey Fenix, and may well remain a closer ally of the trio going forward.
