AEW Revolution is stacking up to be an explosive PPV for Tony Khan. With several titles on the line and Sting’s final match on display, fans were in for a thrill ride. However, something that no one was expecting has happened. After the International Championship Match with Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong, Kyle O’Reilly made his return. This would be his return to AEW after over a year, which no one had expected to play out. Moreover, it wasn’t the return or what took place in the ring that got fans talking; it was what was on his arm.
