On November 19, 2024, AEW announced that the sixth Revolution would take place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California on March 9, 2025. This marked the first time AEW held an event at the venue, as all of their prior events in the Los Angeles area were held at the Kia Forum in nearby Inglewood.[2] On March 5, 2025, AEW announced a new PPV distribution deal with Amazon Prime Video wherein AEW's PPVs would be available to purchase on the platform in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, beginning with the 2025 Revolution.[3]
Storylines
Revolution featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines, written by AEW's writers. Storylines were produced on AEW's weekly television programs, Dynamite and Collision.[4]
At Worlds End on December 28, Jon Moxley retained his AEW World Championship in a four-way match in the main event only for FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) and Adam Copeland, who was returning from a seven month hiatus, to confront him afterwards.[5] At Fight for the Fallen on January 1, Copeland, now known as simply "Cope", and FTR defeated Death Riders.[6] Over the course of the following weeks Jay White, whom was one of the three other competitors in the four-way match at Worlds End, would become involved in Cope's feud with Moxley. On the January 22 episode of Dynamite, Cope defeated Pac only to be shown on the TitanTron that Death Riders had kidnapped Harwood, Wheeler and Rock 'n' Roll Express (Robert Gibson and Ricky Morton). Claudio Castagnoli then con-chair-toed Morton before attacking Cope and White in the ring.[7] This would lead to a Brisbane Brawl at Grand Slam Australia on February 15 which Death Riders won.[8] Following the loss, Cope vowed to dismantle Death Riders one-by-one. Starting with Pac on the February 22 episode of Collision, hitting Pac with a con-chair-to.[9] On the February 26 episode of Dynamite with the help of White and Willow Nightingale, Cope took out Castagnoli and Marina Shafir, leaving Moxley and Wheeler Yuta left.[10] On the March 5 episode of Dynamite, Cope defeated Yuta. After the match, an argument erupted in the ring between Yuta and Moxley, leading to Yuta walking away. Moxley then said that he would look forward to beating Cope at Revolution.[11]
