After running a monthly pay-per-view for most of 2023, AEW won’t host a marquee event until Sunday, Mar. 3, when Revolution takes over the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Sting’s retirement match will headline AEW’s first PPV of 2024. It has been advertised months in advance, allowing anticipation to build up for his final in-ring showing. Only recently, after their victory against Powerhouse Hobbs and Konosuke Takeshita on the Jan. 10 episode of Dynamite, Sting and Darby Allin were confronted by the Young Bucks from the stage.
The following week on Dynamite, the Jacksons teased what’s to come in an interview where they name-dropped Sting and referred to him as the “last of a dying breed.” When asked if they will face the Icon in his final match, they replied that they will “pull some strings” as Executive Vice Presidents. It finally was made official on the Feb. 14 episode of Dynamite as Allin accepted the EVPs’ challenge.
Another confirmed match arose when Roderick Strong challenged Orange Cassidy for the AEW International Championship. The Undisputed Kingdom, formed at Worlds End, said they were after all the gold in AEW, so this is step one, with Strong vying for his first title since joining the company in 2023.
To top it all off, Samoa Joe will defend the AEW World Championship against Swerve Strickland and Hangman Adam Page in a Triple Threat match. While Strickland and Page competed in a No. 1 contenders match to determine the Samoan Submission Machine’s opponent at Revolution, their battle went to a time-limit draw. Tony Khan chimed in moments later to give both men a chance at the title instead of one.
