Comedian Leslie Jones gave the AEW audience a parallel show from the crowd as she could not stop passionately reacting to the fight between Swerve Strickland and Ricochet. On Revolution 2025, the first annual edition of All Elite Wrestling (AEW) to be live streamed on Prime Video on March 9, 2025, Jones could be seen enthusiastically screaming and cheering from the crowd.
Jones, who is famous for her appearance on NBC’s Saturday Night Live, was seriously invested in the fight, and her intense involvement in the match elicited innumerable reactions on the Internet. Some netizens took to X to express concern about the bizarreness of Jones’ appearance at ring side. On the other hand, many fans appreciated the intensity of Jones’ emotional attachment to the match.
One netizen took to X to react to Leslie Jones’ intense flurry of reactions during the Swerve Strickland vs Ricochet match, writing:
“Somebody come get Leslie Jones she’s been screaming and punching this whole match #AEWRevolution”
Another wrestling fan observed:
“Hate to be the one that paid 500 to be sitting behind her ….”
An X user shared a hilarious interpretation of Jones’ reactions, writing:
“Leslie Jones was wiping that sweat off like she just finished giving a mean sermon at church #AEWRevolution”
One fan who was present at the arena wrote:
“Dude, I was on the other side of the arena and up the stairs and could still hear her screaming. That woman was THIRSTY!”
A Leslie Jones fan added their own two cents in support of the comedian, writing:
“She is PERFECT for wrestling I hope she’s enjoying herself!”
Another fan made a succinct observation about the entire event, commenting:
“Can't blame her. The match was tense”
A former-AEW fan shared a reasoned response on Jones’ appearance at the match, writing:
“I’m not a aew fan anymore but celebrities coming to wrestling shows whether that be wwe or aew is cool as hell. It gets more eyes on the product and I love it. I really love how focused she is on the match”

And it's on a Friday night, so we got to come to work the next day and you still shooting this f—king pre-tape… So they got this big wedding dress, I’m in this big wedding dress. I done already cut my f—king, I still got this cut on my arm. I cut my arm with the wire that was in there, so my hand’s bleeding and sh-t.”
