The Face of the Revolution Ladder Match is typically associated with the Revolution pay-per-view event. However, on the most recent episode of Dynamite, AEW changed the schedule and held the match on Dynamite. After some back-and-forth action, Will Hobbs emerged as the winner.
However, one of the match's participants, Eddie Kingston, expressed his confusion about being included in the bout. In an interview with Sactown Sports 1140 earlier this week, The Mad King said:
“I may not be at Sacramento though, it all depends on how certain things go in the locker room with the office. Especially with my match that’s coming up on Wednesday, not really happy about it,” Eddie Kingston said. [H/T Wrestling Inc.]
