Sunday's AEW Revolution pay-per-view wasn't just a standard night of pro wrestling. It was also the farewell match of one of the most beloved legends in this business.

Sting and Darby Allin put their undefeated streak and their AEW tag titles on the line against The Young Bucks in the main event.

Most of AEW's various championships were defended, but Julia Hart didn't have to put the TBS title on the line due to being in a tag team match. Here's a rundown of Sunday's results:

• Willow Nightingale and Kris Statlander beat Skye Blue and Julia Hart
• Bang Bang Scissor Gang beat Jeff Jarrett's stable
• Christian Cage beat Daniel Garcia
• Eddie Kingston beat Bryan Danielson
• Wardlow won the All-Star Scramble
• Roderick Strong beat Orange Cassidy
• Blackpool Combat Club beat FTR
• Toni Storm beat Deonna Purrazzo
• Will Ospreay beat Konosuke Takeshita
• Samoa Joe beat Adam Page and Swerve Strickland

Let's look at some of the biggest takeaways from Sunday's Revolution PPV.

Daniel Garcia Is the Future

Garcia challenged Cage for the TNT Championship in a match that once again paired the young star against a skilled veteran.

We've seen Garcia battle the likes of Adam Copeland, Danielson, CM Punk and many more, and he has exceeded expectations every single time.

Cage has been having the best run of his entire career with this character, but it was his skill as an in-ring performer that was on display most.

These two put on a great display of classic pro wrestling. We saw a lot of technical prowess mixed with crowd work, interference and near-falls that convinced a lot of people the match was over.

Garcia came up short, but he once again established himself as a reliable worker and future champion with his performance.

Eddie Kingston Finally Earned Bryan Danielson's Respect

There was only one stipulation for the Continental Crown Championship match. No matter how it ended, Eddie Kingston wanted Bryan Danielson to shake his hand.

During the leadup to this, Danielson disrespected Jun Akiyama with a low blow, so The Mad King was also looking to get some revenge on behalf of his idol.

The match was as fun and hard-hitting as you would expect with these two involved, but when the dust cleared, Kingston was declared the winner.

After it looked like The American Dragon was going to deny Kingston his handshake, Danielson pulled him back and shook his hand before raising it to celebrate the champion's victory. They also shared a special moment backstage.

The victory will likely put this feud to bed and allow Kingston to move on and find a new challenger for his trio of title belts. He finally earned the respect of one of the best technical wrestlers to ever lace up a pair of boots, which may mean just as much to him as the title himself.

Kyle O'Reilly Is Back and Not in The Undisputed Kingdom

Following Roderick Strong's win over Orange Cassidy to become the new international champion, Kyle O'Reilly made his long-awaited return to AEW TV.

KOR has been out of action since August 2022 with a neck injury, so it's been more than a year and a half since we saw him in a match.

He looked like he was going to attack Strong before smiling and embracing him with a hug, but when he was offered an Undisputed Kingdom shirt, he handed it back to Strong before whispering something in his ear and walking away.

Seeing O'Reilly back and looking healthy is fantastic. He almost wasn't able to return, but now that he's back, he looks like he is going to be on his own.

We will likely hear from him this week during Dynamite or Collision to discuss his return and plans. Let's hope we also get an explanation for why he isn't immediately joining his old friends, Strong and Adam Cole.

Will Ospreay Is as Good as Advertised

Will Ospreay has already worked with AEW before Revolution, but his first bout as a full-time contracted talent took place Sunday when he faced Konosuke Takeshita.

Leading up to this bout, Don Callis positioned it as a friendly bout between two Callis Family members, but Ospreay's reaction on Dynamite told a different story.

Not only did he not seem excited to see Callis, but he and Takeshita clearly weren't on good terms. Powerhouse Hobbs didn't seem to have any issues with Ospreay, but that means little since he wasn't involved.

What unfolded was a match that lived up to the hype. Both men held nothing back and delivered a potential Match of the Year candidate. Ospreay scored the win and bowed to Takeshita to show him respect, but he was very careful not to interact with Callis too much.

If anyone came into Revolution unfamiliar with Ospreay's work, they likely came away as a fan. He and Takeshita should be proud of their performance.

Sting Has Hung Up His Boots

Revolution marked Sting's final match, ending a nearly 40-year career that will be remembered for generations.

Anyone expecting The Icon to take it easy was sorely mistaken. The 64-year-old went through tables, panes of glass and wrestled all over the arena like he was 20 years younger.

The Young Bucks were the perfect foils and sold every move while keeping maximum heat on themselves by attacking Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat. Allin put his body through hell and ended up with a bloody back after leaping off a ladder through a pane of glass.

The Stinger ended his career on a high note by winning with the Scorpion Death Lock. He looked tearful as he stood up to celebrate his final victory.

He had his family, his friends and his colleagues there to share the moment. It's hard to think of a more fitting end to his career. He came into this business in a tag team with another guy famous for painting his face, and he went out the same way.

Thanks for the memories, Steve Borden.
