Likely Buddy Matthews but alternatively could be Swerve the Realest aka Shane Strickland.

I think it's Buddy Matthews, the guy looked white, but I could be wrong.

So AEW REVOLUTION could be a great PPV.

Potential Card IMO

Hangman Adam Page vs Adam Cole for AEW World Title
Jurassic Express vs 2 tag teams in 3-way match for AEW World Tag Titles
Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. vs Thunder Rosa for AEW Women's World Title
CM Punk vs MJF in Dog Collar Match
Eddie Kingston vs Chris Jericho
Jon Moxley vs Bryan Danielson (Since Mox wants blood before he decides whether he teams with BD)
Wardlow vs. Keith Lee vs. 4 others in face of the Revolution Ladder Match

I'm wondering if they do something with Jay White at REVOLUTION, maybe G.O.D. show up, also The House of Black(Malakai Black & Brody King), Death Triangle(PAC & Penta El Zero Miedo), plis what the TNT title match will be, probably will be Andrade El Idolo vs Sammy Guevera.

TNT and TBS Titles may not even be on the show given how big the card is. Would honestly prefer if they set up matches so those titles could be defended on the Dynamite that follows the PPV.

Andrade could end up on the PPV VS Sammy for the title or VS Darby since that story is in play as well.

Black VS Pac should probably finally happen here too.

And don't count out the possibility of Hook VS QT on the PPV since it would be a quick match and Hook is SUPER over right now.

They teased Jay White against Orange Cassidy on Rampage yesterday. Tony Khan should not have Jay lose against OC.
Jay White is a superstar and if you´re Tony Khan you would want to make both him and NJPW happy.

I saw most of the results of the awards and it´s pretty fair for the most part.
I love seeing Utami Hayashis**ta and Syuri in the top 10 of best overall wrestler. They were the two best women wrestlers on the planet in 2021.
Kenny Omega being the wrestler of the year is logical. He has been outstanding all year and he has put over Hangman big time.
Danielson is everywhere in the awards this year.
MJF was best promo of the year just in front of Eddie Kingston and CM Punk.

I don't think they would have OC go over. White is likely going to factor into a confrontation/face to face moment with Kenny very soon. PPV or Dynamite right after is my guess

That ladder match is going to be some big meaty men slapping meat. Wardlow, Hobbs and Keith Lee so far... sheesh.

WWE needs to just send Nikki to NXT. Her character makes no sense now. It's like they have no idea what to do with her. It can't be that hard to write a story for her, can it? Freaking annoying.

Just send down Nikki and bring back Mandy. Dana Brooke and Tamina can go too. Especially if Asuka comes back soon.

I take it as Vince setting her up for the young kids crowd. Imagining A.S.H. masks in the crowds like Bayley had years ago. She's THICCC a f but nobody would know.
another reason why AEW > WWE.

You can actually see ass cheeks in AEW.

For sure she's got a figure.

Also, holy cow was that a botch by Drew or a botched landing by Moss? OUCH.

HOLY- We're surprised @MadcapMoss is still standing after that move from @DMcIntyreWWE! #WWEChamber pic.twitter.com/UISw3LOmwo

Looks like it is on Moss who seemingly tucks his head. Maybe he thought he was supposed to flip and take the back bump?

Why is Elimination Chamber happening during the day?

That's what some fans are saying on twitter too.

Man I'm so bored with them bringing back old people who obviously aren't going to win. I don't care how good they are as entertainers, if there's no question of who would win, it's always going to underwhelm to me.

Eager to see Asuka and Bayley back.

I personally think they need to continue to build up Omos, Riddle, Damian Priest, and Drew McIntyre more. The first is the most raw, but overall, all those guys have the potential to really be something.

Austin Theory maybe too, even though his character is way too stupid to stomach right now.

Cause it's in Saudi Arabia, so due to the time difference, to be live it had to be early.
