The participants in the main event of AEW Revolution 2024 are said to be 'thrilled' with how the match turned out, according to a report by Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.
The final match of the night was also the last bout in the legendary career of Sting, who teamed with Darby Allin to defeat the Young Bucks and retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships. The contest was a chaotic affair under no DQ tornado tag rules, featuring high-risk spots involving tables, ladders and panes of glass. Ricky Steamboat and Ric Flair were also briefly involved, as were Sting's sons, dressed as earlier incarnations of their father's ring persona.
The report states that Sting referred to it as one of the three greatest bouts of his entire career, and Nicholas Jackson of the Bucks claimed it may have been the most fun he's ever had in a wrestling match.
Revolution also appeared to be a positive night for Will Ospreay, whose victory over Konosuke Takeshita didn't just draw an enthusiastic response from many fans on social media, but also a few industry legends in attendance. Meltzer explains:
"Another big thing noted to us was the reaction of the stars from the past to Will Ospreay, and the match with Konosuke Takeshita. Many people there who had been in the business for decades had never seen an Ospreay match although had heard of him. It was noted that they couldn't believe how good he was."
Other major results on the show include Samoa Joe and Toni Storm retaining their respective world championships, and Bryan Danielson shaking Eddie Kingston's hand after the latter won a hard-hitting bout between the two.
