Your eyes do not deceive. It’s a PPV Musings on a recent AEW Pay-Per-View event.
In all honesty, this shouldn’t be much of a surprise. While it’s no secret that I haven’t been a fan of the general creative direction that AEW has been going on in recent months, I’d be lying if I said that there were some efforts made in trying to steer the ship right. And also, regardless of my feelings on the current AEW product, watching Double Or Nothing has become something of a tradition going back to the very first event back in 2019. If nothing else, I’d like to keep that tradition going similar to how some friends I know, who largely gave up on wrestling years ago, will still make a point to watch Wrestlemania every year… though some couldn’t keep up with the two-night Buy One Get One free set-up, but that’s okay.
With that having been said, I’d be lying if I said that this year’s Double Or Nothing event felt like a complete afterthought. What was once one of their big tentpole events has basically become the equivalent of a B-level PPV event as we gear up for All In from Texas in July. This year’s Double Or Nothing is a bit of a milestone, as it is the first event since the 2022 edition NOT to emanate from the traditional home of Las Vegas – which just hosted the 5-night Buy One, Get One free extravaganza known as Wrestlemania 41 headlined by Cold Manipulator Punk, but rather from Glensdale, Arizona… who once hosted a hockey team here.
Still, there was some fun stuff to look forward to here and also… well, let’s not jump ahead here and instead dive into this one… off the deep end, Mr. Scott.
