Jericho took out Moxley's eye. Saturday, Moxley sought to take out Jericho's championship reign of terror over AEW in the main event of Revolution.

Moxley entered from the streets of Chicago while a choir serenaded the fans with Fozzy's "Judas" ahead of Le Champion's arrival. Jericho, accompanied by Ortiz and Santana, sported the same jacket from which he pulled the spike that he used to injure his challenger's eye.

The fight spilled into the crowd early. Moxley bit at the stitches above the heel's left eye and Jericho responded by targeting the injured right eye of his opponent. He powerbombed Moxley through a table at ringside and seized firm control of the bout.

Moxley continued to be hampered by the eye injury, unable to fend off Jericho's attack or even see clearly enough to do so. The ferocious competitor eventually fought his way back into the match, stomping away at Jericho in the corner. He later converted a Liontamer into a heel lock, as taught to him by UFC great Randy Couture.

Moxley cued up the Paradigm Shift, but Santana used the loaded sock to knock him out and set up the lionsault. Jericho tried for the Codebreaker, but Moxley countered. He tried for the Walls of Jericho, but the challenger countered, again, into his own version of the submission to the approval of the Chicago faithful.

Hager appeared, forcing the break, and Jericho capitalized with the Codebreaker. Moxley kicked out at two. Jericho applied the Walls of Jericho, looking for the submission win. The resilient antihero fought through the pain, though, inching to the ropes as Santana and Ortiz talked trash from ringside.

Another attempt at interference by The Inner Circle led to referee Aubrey Edwards banning them from ringside. The distraction allowed Guevara to sneak in and blast Moxley with the AEW title. The challenger still managed to kick out.

Moxley absorbed a flurry of punches and dared Jericho to bring more. Le Champion raked the good eye, proceeded to taunt him and then dropped him with a right hand to the face. A knee to the face followed, and Jericho basked in the jeers of the AEW fans.

Moxley dodged the Judas Effect and delivered the Paradigm Shift. From there, he removed the eyepatch, revealing he could see the entire time. Another Paradigm Shift gave way to a new AEW world champion.

After the match, Moxley cut a passionate promo about the last year of his career and the triumph that has been AEW.

Moxley defeated Jericho to win the AEW World Championship

Moxley revealing that he could see the entire time was a great spot. The crowd reacted exactly as you would have hoped, and the finish was every bit as red-hot as you would hope for from the main event of an extraordinary pay-per-view.

The match that preceded the finish was very good, told a great story and presented Moxley as the unflinching badass that could absorb any amount of punishment and continue fighting. A bloodied, triumphant rebel, he is the perfect representative for a company looking to be exactly that in today's wrestling landscape.

On a night of dramatic near-falls and stunning athleticism, this was a throwback to the days of Steve Austin overcoming the interference of Mr. McMahon's Corporation in a wild Attitude Era brawl to win the title. It was a great bit of business, to paraphrase Jim Ross.

Moxley remains unbeaten in singles competition in AEW, making the inevitable moment that someone beats him mean that much more. In all, the match, the moment and the fallout from it were superb.
