AEW Revolution 2023: PPV Main Event Match Officially Confirmed

For weeks now, MJF raised the stacks against his current challenger Bryan Danielson but that didn’t stop setting up the AEW Revolution 2023 PPV main event. Danielson will now challenge AEW World Champion MJF in a 60-minute Iron Man Match at the upcoming pay-per-view event with the AEW world championship hanging in the balance.

Danielson demanded this match at AEW Revolution 2023 in January, and initially, MJF agreed to it but he would only do so on the condition that Danielson had to keep his winning streak intact against a series of opponents that he would handpick. Due to this, Danielson had previously defeated Konosuke Takeshita, Bandido, Brian Cage, and Timothy Thatcher.

After the match, MJF proceeded to hit Danielson in the head with the Dynamite Diamond Ring and locked in The Salt of the Earth arm bar. Since he refused to relinquish the hold, security, and officials arrived at the scene to free Danielson from MJF.
