That foyer fight Dustin Rhodes and Jake Hager had on Dynamite surely wasn't coincidental.

Come Revolution, it'd be a slight shock if their singles effort wasn't turned into a 'Street Fight' or some sort of 'No Holds Barred' affair. If it is, then it makes sense that Rhodes would be the one to make the challenge. The stip would be popular with the Chicago fans, and it's always better when the babyface backs a heel into the corner.

The lack of gimmick matches on the card is refreshing, but one wouldn't hurt, and there are several feuds that merit intense gimmickry anyway. Rhodes vs. Hager is one of them, Don't forget that Jake put Dustin on the shelf by smashing his arm with a car door months ago, or that these guys kick the sh*t out of each other in brawls.

Give them 20-25 minutes, let them scuffle all around the building and let them mimic the glory days of hardcore wrestling. AEW's great old-school-meets-new-school atmosphere is ripe for the odd old-fashioned melee.
