Summary

Brian Cage reflected on AEW Revolution 2021 and said the cinematic tag match featuring himself and Ricky Starks against Sting and Darby Allin remains his top cinematic-era bout.

Cage discussed the match during an appearance on Rob Van Dam’s *1 of a Kind*, pointing to the production style and post-edit presentation as the reason he ranks it so highly. Sting and Darby Allin won that Revolution match, which was Sting’s first bout since 2015.

Cage has also recently spoken about his layoff and recovery process, including how a medical setback impacted his timetable, as covered in his return timeline comments.

Quote from Brian Cage

“The cinematic match we had, I thought it was phenomenal. In my opinion, I’m going to be biased, I thought it was the best cinematic match ever, mainly because it was actually cinematic. We had this whole big intro. It was their entrance and our entrance. How it was shot, these different scenes, the 360 camera. It looked like an actual movie and not just a match filmed by a different camera.”

When other notable cinematic matches were brought up, Cage later added:

“Those just seemed like matches filmed elsewhere, where our match is filmed like it’s a movie. There is like a Matrix scene where it 360s around. It’s all post-edit. It has a soundtrack and it felt like a movie.”

AEW Revolution 2021 still shapes Brian Cage’s presentation

Cage’s comments put AEW Revolution 2021 back in focus, which strengthens the match’s place in how fans remember his run with Team Taz during that period. His emphasis on production and presentation also frames this bout as part of the same comeback narrative he has discussed while addressing his year-long absence.
