Tony Khan seems to be going all out in building up a significant match card for the Revolution pay-per-view. Although no match has been made official yet, the company will likely make a blockbuster announcement on Dynamite tonight.
CM Punk will choose the time, place, and rules for his rematch against MJF. It's almost a forgone conclusion that the two foes will collide again on March 6th. Meanwhile, Adam Cole has staked his claim to Hangman Page's world title, hinting at a feud between the two. It will be interesting to see what other matches will officially get booked for next month's pay-per-view.
