AEW Revolution wasnt just about the action in the ringsomething that happened during the pre-show got plenty of people talking backstage.
According to Fightful Select, there were audible groans behind the scenes when Queen of the Ring star Damaris Lewis made a comment about pro wrestlings outcomes.
Lewis, who appeared alongside co-star Kelli Berglund and director Ash Avildsen in the front row, didnt hold back when talking about what she learned about the business. You all know you are going to win before everybody else does, so thank you for teaching me that, she said, a statement that reportedly didnt go over well with many in the AEW locker room.
Wrestlers take pride in the physical toll, storytelling, and unpredictability of their craft, so having a Hollywood actress casually put the spotlight on predetermined finishes rubbed some people the wrong way. One source noted that while the comment wasnt meant to be disrespectful, it wasnt exactly received well.
Meanwhile, Berglund took a very different approach. When asked if shed ever step into the ring for real, she gave an answer that showed respect for the sport. You know what, give me a couple of months to really train. I could be down. Once you learn about it, youre so invested, she said, keeping the door open for a potential future in wrestling.
