10 HUGE AEW Revolution 2023 Predictions You Need To Know

2. MJF (c) Vs. Bryan Danielson

A challenge for even the greatest wrestlers - and right now both men can argue that they're exactly that - the Iron Man stipulation remains preserved as prestigious due to just how tough it is to pull off.

Even though certain spots have historically gone down better than others across 60 minute duels in the past, there's no rulebook on what makes one truly great, as evidenced by watching the electrifying 6-5 John Cena/Rock epic back-to-back with the 0-0 bore between Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart.

Ultimately, the Champion's gimmick is tailor-made for a match like this. Losing one fall by disqualification to take three once he's used a weapon, keeping as far away from Bryan as he can to run down the clock, and zeroing in on the arm injury to try and flesh out a Salt Of The Earth submission at any cost.

The old heel maxim applies here - MJF doesn't have to beat Bryan Danielson, but Bryan Danielson needs to beat MJF. A tie goes to the Champion, and there's absolutely no way an exhausted Friedman sanctions so much as a second of overtime. He'd even escape into the crowd to avoid the fate, leaving the stage free for...

Winner - 4-4 Draw (MJF Retains)
