7 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Revolution 2021

6. PAC & Fenix Roll The Dice

PAC and Rey Fenix ended up triumphing in a fun Casino Tag Team Royale that was a marked improved on what this stipulation usually brings to the table.

The bout benefitted from its simplified format. Rather than wrestlers entering in batches of fives, tag teams emerged every 90 seconds, Royal Rumble style. This prevented the using Casino contrivances and while this certainly wasn't as elegant as a Pat Patterson-helped over-the-top-rope battle royale, it had more than enough to finish on the positive side of the ledger.

Fenix was the highlight, as has been the case all year, with his pop-pop-popping closing stretch with Jungle Boy bringing the excitement and adrenaline. The duo wrestled at 100mph for a couple of minutes to close the match on a high and their clash with The Young Bucks should be a banger, whenever it goes down, particularly with Fenix in this kind of form.

Elsewhere, Dustin Rhodes found himself angered by partner QT Marshall, who eliminated Nightmare Family allies Austin and Colten Gunn. QT's response? Eliminating himself.

The brewing feud between The Butcher and The Blade and Bear Country when Butcher eliminated both Bears on his own, a Jurassic Express vs. Santana and Ortiz program was teased when Jungle Boy eliminated both Inner Circle men, and Evil Uno took one of the dumbest bumps of all time. Seriously.

A solid offering that somehow barely felt longer than the Miro match, despite going thrice as long.
