The Original AEW Revolution 2025 Main Event Plans Revealed, MJF Declines MVP’s Offer, Lineup For AEW Dynamite (3/19/25)

Posted By James Walsh on 03/12/25


Christian Cage cashed in his Casino Gauntlet contract during the main event of AEW Revolution 2025. As a result, the high-stakes AEW World Title match turned into a Triple Threat match, featuring Jon Moxley, Cope, and Cage.

The finish saw Moxley retain the AEW World Title against both challengers.

Some fans were unhappy with AEW’s decision to have Moxley vs. Cope headline Revolution 2025 and with Moxley retaining his title.

On the latest edition of “Wrestling Observer Live,” Bryan Alvarez reported that the match was originally supposed to be more chaotic, with more wrestlers in the mix including surprise returns — similar to the main event of WrestleMania 40 (Night Two).

Alvarez said, “I do know this, okay? I don’t know all the details, but there was an idea for the main event that involved way more people than ended up being out there, including some returns. At the last minute, it just got axed. I don’t know who it was or what they were going to do, but there was a second plan that didn’t take place. It wasn’t Shane McMahon for the love of God. Whatever it was, it involved people who had been there before or had been there in the past. It was not a Shane McMahon debut.”

He continued, “I think what happened was there were changes to the main event, and I think people heard about that. Then they saw what almost happened with the hand on the chest, and then he got yanked off. They came to this conclusion that he [Cope] wouldn’t put the guy over. That’s not what happened. I’m 99% sure that, no matter what was planned before or after, Moxley was always retaining, and he was always going on to face Swerve at the next pay-per-view.”

The second hour of Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite kicked off with MJF delivering a promo to move on from his AEW Revolution 2025 loss with confidence. However, his confidence quickly faded when MVP interrupted.

After reminiscing about his memories with MJF, MVP questioned why MJF wasn’t upset over his loss at Revolution 2025.

MJF went on to decline MVP’s business card offer.
