Tony Khan says AEW Revolution had a big closing four.
Heading into AEW Revolution, many fans wanted to see the AEW Women's World Championship match between Toni Storm and Mariah May main event the pay-per-view, given the way it was the third match of their trilogy and the investment in the storyline up to this point. The AEW World Championship match between Jon Moxley and Cope main-evented the show instead, and the decision sparked some backlash.
At the AEW Revolution Post-Show Media Scrum, Miles from KRock in Los Angeles asked Tony Khan about the match between Toni Storm and Mariah May not main eventing AEW Revolution.
"I thought it was absolutely fantastic. Both are main event quality wrestlers. With AEW Grand Slam Australia, I thought we put together a great show with great moments and for where we were going next, I thought it made a lot of sense, and for where we had been I felt it was a fantastic main event. Tonight, they delivered and it was absolutely fantastic, great match. I really believed in it and I really believed in the story. Absolutely, that is a match capable of main eventing, just like in Australia. Hindsight is always 20/20, but to me, putting it back together and looking back, [AEW Revolution] is one of my all time favorite shows. Toni Storm was in no condition to come up here, she lost a lot of blood. I thought it was a great moment to Swerve to have that moment and have the crowd come back and do the “Whose House? Swerve’s House.' They didn’t know they would see him again. It was a big reaction and the crowd got behind Swerve at end, which is never a surprise. Start to finish, it was a great show. That would be a great main event and I also thought, in particular, there were a lot of matches that could have been the main event, including any of the last four. That’s why I called it a big closing four. Knowing that Swerve was waiting in the wings and he’s the number one contender, I had a feeling the crowd would get behind seeing Swerve at the end of the show," Khan said.
