All Elite Wrestling is back with its first pay-per-view of 2021, the second annual Revolution.

The card is stacked and includes four championship matches, the first AEW match of the legendary Sting, and Tony Khan has promised a huge, surprise new signing will make their debut at the event.

Revolution will also see an Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch for the AEW World Championship between Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley, which promises to be unlike anything we've ever seen before.

AEW Revolution takes place on Sunday, March 7, at Daily's Place in Jacksonville, Florida. It will start at 8pm ET/5pm PT (1am on Monday in the UK).

AEW Revolution card: What's the full match card and predictions for AEW Revolution?

Kenny Omega (c) vs. Jon Moxley - Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch for the AEW World Championship

Kenny Omega has been unstoppable ever since he beat Jon Moxley for the AEW Championship (by nefarious means) at Winter Is Coming in December.

Now he's set to face Moxley in perhaps the most dangerous match possible, an Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch.

Nothing like this has ever been done before by a mainstream, North American wrestling promotion and if AEW can pull it off it will be incredible.

While Moxley was a great champion in 2020, Omega as the belt collector is on a roll and doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon.

Prediction: Kenny Omega

The Young Bucks (c) vs. Chris Jericho and MJF - AEW Tag Team Championship match

At AEW's last PPV, MJF defeated Chris Jericho to win membership to the Inner Circle.

Since then, the two have become a tag team but their partnership has led to the Inner Circle losing Sammy Guevara as a member.

Two weeks ago on Dynamite, Jericho and MJF upped the stakes in this match by brutally attacking the Young Bucks' father.

While the Bucks will be out for revenge at Revolution, putting the tag titles on Jericho and MJF makes sense, especially to help solidify them as a team and perhaps lead to more Inner Circle tensions.

Prediction: Chris Jericho and MJF

Adam Page vs. Matt Hardy - Big Money Match, winner receives the loser's 2021 first-quarter earnings

Matt Hardy tried to con Adam Page into signing a managerial contract a few weeks ago but he was out-carnied by Page who instead made him sign up to a match.

While Hardy had been courting Page as a client, the Dark Order has been extending the hand of friendship to the lonesome cowboy and it looks as if an alliance has been formed.

With Page being a huge fan-favourite in AEW he looks likely to take the win and the money at Revolution.

Prediction: Adam Page

Team Taz (Brian Cage and Ricky Starks) vs. Darby Allin and Sting - Street Fight

Sting shocked the world when he appeared at Winter Is Coming in December, before forming an alliance with Darby Allin.

The big question for fans has been, 'will Sting be able to have a proper match?' But as Cody Rhodes told Digital Spy, he certainly looks like he can.

With Sting making his big return, there's no way him and Darby don't win this one and Brian Cage could be the one to take the fall after the powerbomb he delivered to Sting on Dynamite a few weeks ago.

Prediction: Darby Allin and Sting

Hikaru Shida (c) vs. Ryo Mizunami - AEW Women's Championship match

After winning the AEW Women's World Championship Eliminator Tournament, Ryo Mizunami will get her shot at Hikaru Shida at Revolution.

Since winning the Women's Championship last May, Shida has become the longest-reigning champion in the company's history.

But with Mizunami now in the US and the success of the women's tournament, it could mean Shida's days as champ are numbered.

Prediction: Ryo Mizunami

Cody Rhodes vs. Scorpio Sky vs. Penta El Zero Miedo vs. Lance Archer vs. Max Caster vs. TBA - Face of the Revolution Ladder Match for a future AEW TNT Championship match

Tony Khan has promised two big new signees at Revolution, one of whom will be competing in the Face of the Revolution Ladder Match.

AEW has delivered on the big surprises in recent months (Sting, Paul Wight) and this time we're expecting a young, fresh talent who will go on to win the ladder match.

If we had to place a bet, I'd say former IMPACT stars Ethan Page or Alex Shelley could be the mystery entrant.

Prediction: Mystery man

Miro and Kip Sabian vs. Orange Cassidy and Chuck Taylor

Orange Cassidy and Chuck Taylor couldn't even let Kip Sabian's wedding to Penelope Ford go off without a hitch and they'll have to pay for that at Revolution.

Though Miro has been with the company for months, we're yet to really see him unleash the beast that made him such a force to be reckoned with in WWE.

This match could be the turning point for Miro where he transforms into the monster fans want to see him be.

Prediction: Miro and Kip Sabian

Casino Tag Team Royale for a future AEW World Tag Team Championship match

This match is absolutely stacked, with The Dark Order, Private Party, Top Flight, Death Triangle and So Cal Uncensored, all taking part.

Representing the Inner Circle will be Santana and Ortiz and they're the team to keep your eye on.

After unsuccessfully challenging the Young Bucks for the tag team titles a few weeks ago, what would happen if Santana and Ortiz won the chance to face Jericho and MJF?

Prediction: Santana and Ortiz
