History of the Face of the Revolution Ladder Match

Face of the Revolution Ladder Match

Scorpio Sky won the first Face of the Revolution Ladder Match at AEW Revolution 2021

Every year at or around AEW Revolution in late-February / early-March, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has a multi-man "Face of the Revolution" ladder match. The match typically involves 6 men (the 2023 version of the match had 7 participants) who are trying to climb the ladder to retrieve the "brass ring" hanging above them. The winner receives a future AEW TNT Championship match. There has been three Face of the Revolution ladder matches in AEW's short history.

History:

Cody Rhodes, Lance Archer, Max Caster, Ethan Page and Penta El Zero Miedo (Received his AEW TNT Championship match on the next AEW Dynamite on the March 10th, 2021 episode where he came up short against champion Darby Allin)
