WWE stars have a significant hand in building AEW, but at Revolution, it seems the homegrown talents were superior.

AEW wrestlers show their superiority over ex-WWE superstars

AEW Revolution was LIVE from the Chase Center in San Francisco, California. The opening bout was between Chris Jericho and Ricky Starks. ‘The Stroke Daddy’ hit his finisher on Le Champion to take the win and the WWE legend lost.

The following match was a ‘Final Burial’ match between Jake Perry ‘Jungle Boy’ and Christian Cage. There was quick aggression as soon as the match started. They fought towards the stage where the coffin was set. Perry connected a Con-Chair-To on the former WWE star and rolled him in the coffin. Even though some fans mocked this gimmick match, they put on a great show.
