A new National Champion.
The final match of tonight’s AEW Revolution Zero Hour was a 21-man Blackjack Battle Royal with Ricochet defending his title against the likes of Juice Robinson, Austin Gunn, El Clon, Johnny TV, Daniel Garcia, Tommaso Ciampa, and more.
The fight started outside the ring as none of the contenders wanted to risk elimination by going inside, and it was some time before the action moved into the squared circle.
One interesting elimination from the bout came when Daniel Garcia ripped Komander’s mask off before sending him to the floor. Garcia then put the mask on himself, though he was then eliminated by Ciampa.
The pre-show time ran out before the match concluded, and things continued on the PPV feed. Jack Perry and Ricochet were the two final contestants of the bout. The two brawled on the apron, and Perry was able to eliminate the defending champion with a frankensteiner to win the whole thing.

Ricochet had won a 12-man Casino Gauntlet match to become the Inaugural National Champion at the Full Gear PPV in November last year. Jack Perry’s win ends his reign with the title at 113 days.
