8 Greatest Face & Heel Turns In Modern Wrestling History

The Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match between Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega that main evented AEW Revolution 2021 is almost entirely remembered for the pyrotechnic mishap at the end of the bout. What should have been a thrilling end to a brutal encounter is best remembered for the explosion being more like a wet sparkler than a scene from The Expendables.

Nevertheless, whenever Eddie Kingston is involved, emotions are sure to run high. Being one of the most believable performers of his generation, Kingston's love or hate for anything is easy to buy into and certain to resonate with the most ardent of fans. Of all of his many rocky relationships, it is his on/off brotherhood with Jon Moxley that brings the most out of people.

After months of discontent and resentment, Moxley lay helpless and beaten by Omega and The Elite, with a countdown slowly creeping towards his impending doom and a ring that was about to explode. Kingston then unexpectedly rushed the ring to cover Moxley's limp body to save his former friend from a hideous fate and carry him out of the arena. The explosion might have sucked ass, but the rekindling of Moxley and Kingston's union was glorious, igniting a short-but-superb tag team run for the duo.
