The AEW Revolution 2023 event was a great spectacle. Ricky Starks got the better of legend, Chris Jericho, in the first match. The latter had recently revealed he sees glimpses of a WWE legend in Starks. However, it’s the tag team champions that hogged all the attention going into the night.
Austin Gunn and Colton Gunn defended their titles in a fatal four-way match in the event. The challengers were The Acclaimed, Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal, Orange Cassidy & Danhausen. Before the encounter, the champions came up with a strong written set of demands for the AEW audience attending the yearly event.
The Gunns provided a printed note that asked fans to refrain from using ‘A** Boy’ chants and the use of some other chants. The spectators were brandished as ‘distractions’ during the shows in the note. The duo also warned those not complying will be removed from the arena.
