Summary

AEW Revolution Zero Hour opened with Boom & Doom, Big Boom AJ and QT Marshall, against The Infantry, consisting of Capt. Shawn Dean and Carlie Bravo.

This was the opening match of the AEW PPV pre-show. The report also notes involvement from Big Justice, The Rizzler, and members of Shane Taylor Promotions during the bout.

The match ended with Boom and Doom winning, and they celebrated with Wayne Brady, The Rizzler, Big Justice, and Aaron Solo.

Winner

Boom & Doom won the opening match.

Why this match could alter the Zero Hour tempo going into Revolution

The opening result gives AEW a clear pre-show tone, because Boom & Doom now enter the night with built-in momentum and immediate crossover attention from the Wayne Brady moment and Shane Taylor Promotions side-story.

If AEW reinforces this segment on broadcast and social follow-through, the concrete consequence is simple: future pre-show framing can continue to use this match as a launch point for both character stakes and ring-side energy rather than treating it as an isolated opener.

For continuity in coverage, this match builds on the prior add-up that was discussed in the Boom and Doom card note.
