Drew McIntyre takes a dig at AEW’s botched ending to Revolution. The former WWE Champion seemed to reference the dud explosions on RAW tonight.

As amazing as Christian is, the fans were discussing Brock Lesnar, John Cena and CM Punk. The former World Heavyweight Champion is on par and even better than some of the names discussed but pales in comparison when it comes to star power.
The Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch was the talking point of the pay per view. The match was heading towards a finish that would see the ring explode. Unfortunately, the end result saw sparks flying instead. It left a lot to be desired. AEW received a lot of flak for the lackluster finish.
To their credit, they handled the situation well in the aftermath and weaved it into their storylines with smart writing but that hasn’t prevented them from being the butt of jokes.
