This is part 7 of our AEW Revolution 2021 live coverage (part 6 is here).
Up next is the main event of the evening and it is an “Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch” for the AEW World Championship.
#1 Contender Jon Moxley makes his way out first, followed by AEW World Champion Kenny Omega.
Wrestling Legend Terry Funk got interviewed by Sports Illustrated and here’s what Funk had to say about this dangerous match:
“It’s the roughest style match I’ve ever been in. I put a lot into those matches. I put in 100%, and I came out with a lot of damage to my body.
If you want to make this match work, you need to give the people their money’s worth. That’s the bottom line, that’s the most important thing. You need to do whatever you can to accomplish that. Physically, that can sometimes be a rugged game to play.
You’re not trying to tell a story, you’re trying to win a goddamn match. That’s the whole point. Win the match, win the fight.
This is a tough match. It was for me at least, as tough as it could possibly be. It’s up to them how they treat it. This match, their job is to go ahead and give the people their money’s worth.
If they do that, their match will live on for a long time. These two guys, I think they’ll do it to the best of their ability.”
Below are some videos from this match:

They are still attacking Moxley and they handcuffed both of Moxley’s hands behind his back. They don’t want Moxley to leave the ring as the ring will explode in a few minutes!
Eddie Kingston came out to save Moxley, but couldn’t do it. The ring exploded, but it looks like it was botched as only a little pyro & smoke went off.
