The “Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match” between Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley at Revolution unfortunately ended with a whimper, when the ring was set to “explode” at the 30 minute mark, but the explosion wasn’t much more than a few sparklers, a few pops and some smoke.
People were legitimately booing after that pathetic attempt at an explosion. Keep in mind these are super AEW fans that actually paid money for this.

After the show went off the air, Moxley got on the mic and poked fun at the anti-climactic ending.
“I think me and all y’all can agree on one thing. Kenny Omega may be a tough son of a bitch, but he can’t make an exploding ring worth a shit,” he said as the crowd popped. “I’ve seen more dangerous shit on Ridiculousness on MTV, what the fuck was that?”
.@JonMoxley didn’t regain the belt tonight but he regained a friend in Eddie Kingston! King came to save Mox from the final blast, which wasn’t enough to keep Mox & Eddie down for good!
