WATCH: Jon Moxley Comforts Crowd After Revolution Pyro Mishap

Jon Moxley joked with the Daily’s Place crowd following the disappointing conclusion of AEW’s Revolution pay-per-view.

In case you missed it, the closing moments of AEW Revolution were hindered by a dud explosion.

Moxley had just been defeated by Kenny Omega in an Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch. Following his win, Omega and his cronies, Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson, continued to beat Mox down in an attempt to incapacitate him. Their goal was to make sure he couldn’t leave the ring before it exploded.

Omega, Gallows, and Anderson left the ring before the clock reached zero, but Eddie Kingston ran out to assist Moxley. Kingston threw himself on Mox, but when the explosion came, it was nothing but a few pops and some lame sparklers.

Clearly something went wrong, and a thoroughly entertaining pay-per-view ended with a wet fart.

The crowd booed, and when the show went off the air, Mox grabbed a mc and joked about the whole thing.

WWE RAW Preview 3/8/21

Tonight’s WWE RAW will feature more build for the upcoming Fastlane and WrestleMania 37 pay-per-views.

WWE has announced that tonight’s show will feature the Almighty WWE Title Celebration hosted by WWE Champion Bobby Lashley and the rest of The Hurt Business. Lashley will be celebrating last week’s big title win over The Miz, and ushering in The Almighty Era.

WWE also announced that Braun Strowman will be on tonight’s RAW to demand an apology from Shane McMahon for how The Monster Among Men has been treated as of late. It’s believed that this will lead to Strowman vs. McMahon at WrestleMania but that has not been confirmed.

WWE has not confirmed any other segments or matches for tonight’s RAW but it’s possible that RAW Women’s Champion Asuka returns on tonight’s show after being away since taking the stiff kick to the mouth from WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion Shayna Baszler. Asuka was recently called out by her partner Charlotte Flair, who wants a WrestleMania title shot.

WWE NXT TakeOver To Be A Two-Night Event During WrestleMania 37 Week?

The next WWE NXT Takeover special may be a two-night event during WrestleMania 37 Weekend.

Earlier this week, a WWE Network pop-up revealed that a NXT Takeover event was scheduled for Thursday, April 8, which is the Thursday before Night 1 of WrestleMania 37 on Saturday, April 10. PWInsider has since confirmed that the next planned Takeover special is scheduled for that Thursday before WrestleMania.

There has been talk of this being the first-ever two-night Takeover event. The idea is that Night 1 would air on the USA Network that Wednesday night as the weekly NXT TV episode, while Night 2 would air that Thursday on the WWE Network.

There is no word on if WWE will go ahead with the two-night Takeover event as the idea could change or evolve with more than a month to go.

There’s also no word on if both nights would take place from the Capitol Wrestling Center at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando.

Jim Crockett Jr. Reportedly Had COVID-19 Before Passing Away, Ric Flair Pays Tribute

Legendary pro wrestling promoter Jim Crockett Jr. reportedly had COVID-19 shortly before passing away.

As noted, Crockett Jr. passed away at the age of 76 on Wednesday. He had entered hospice care late last week due to issues with his kidneys and liver. Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio last Friday that Crockett was in grave condition and had removed himself from dialysis to enter hospice care.

In an update, Meltzer reported on today’s edition of Wrestling Observer Radio that Crockett Jr. had the coronavirus shortly before passing. The COVID-19 diagnosis combined with his other heath issues led to the recent hospitalization. Crockett Jr. made the call last week to go off dialysis, and from there it was just a matter of time before he passed.

WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair paid tribute to Jim Jr. on Twitter today, crediting his influence and persistence with Flair becoming a World Champion.

“I Moved To Charlotte In 1974 With $150 In My Pocket. Jimmy Crockett Was My Friend And My Boss. I Can’t Put Into Words How Much He Did For Me And My Career. His Influence And Persistence Helped Me Become The World Champion. My Thoughts And Prayers Are With The Crockett Family! [folded hands emoji],” Flair wrote.
