Adam DeVine had no idea what he was in for when he pulled up to AEW Revolution 2025but now hes hooked.
The Workaholics star and comedian stopped by the This Is Important podcast to share his jaw-dropping experience sitting ringside at the AEW pay-per-view eventand lets just say, WWE has some real competition in his book.
I didnt know what an insane event. Those guys throw on a real banger, DeVine said. It feels just as insane, in fact, I liked it more than the WWE events. Its like the WCW in the late 90s.
DeVine went on to compare AEW to the gritty, no-holds-barred energy of late-90s wrestling, praising the rawness and chaos of the show. He gave a wild play-by-play of what he saw live, including a jaw-dropping cage match that turned into an all-out warzone.
There was this cage match. People were bleeding all over the place. Real blood. Im sitting ringside. Blood is back, he said. They were pouring thumbtacks all over the ring. From the very top of the cage, they were backflipping guys into the thumbtacks. Insane.
He even confirmed it wasnt all show: Then you go to the back, they were real thumbtacks. He was still picking them out of himself. One is stuck in my heel. I cant get it out.
One of the most surprising parts? DeVine admitted he didnt expect to love itbut left as a full-blown fan. I didnt think I would have a thirst for it, but now I do. It was awesome. It was crazy.
The brutality wasnt limited to the mens cage match either. DeVine called out the Toni Storm vs. Mariah May match as a standout moment, calling it a bloodbath.
As for AEW boss Tony Khan? Tony Khan, the guy who owns it, is whose box I was for the Super Bowl. We went out that night and partied. Hes this totally nice guy who owns AEW. It was fun. It was a blast.
So now the question standswill Adam DeVine be showing up on AEW TV next? Stranger things have happened.
