[5/25/19] All Elite Wrestling Present: Double or Nothing LIVE From MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas!

[Bryan Danielson]

This and the Bucks were my most anticipated matches


They best come through with a dope replacement

I hear Jon Moxley is going to check out Blue Men Group in Vegas next weekend.... wonder what ever he may do there in his time

 

[The Rainmaker]

PAC putting Dragon Gate first as it should be

 

[THE 101]

PAC shouldn't be jobbing to Page anyway.

People talk about it being an issue that Cody might book himself as a main eventer, but i'd be way more worried about the overpushing of Page, who i don't get at all. He is bland as fukk. Most overrated guy in wrestling.

He also lives in Vegas, so that option is always there

On this morning's Wrestler Observer Radio it was noted the bout in England will be streamed by AEW, most likely on Tuesday, as a way for fans to still be able to see a match between the two since it won't be on Saturday's PPV.

In terms of the match itself, AEW did not want a tie/DQ as they are looking for wins/losses in their matches, especially on PPVs. PAC previously went to 30-minute draws with Will Ospreay and Zack Sabre Jr., which drew boos and would probably get a similar reaction at Double or Nothing. Also, it was reported PPV time was a factor as AEW is working within a four hour limit and that match would take up a big chunk of time, only for a tie to happen.

Dave Meltzer also speculated AEW is looking at things long-term, PAC beating Page wasn't so much a problem, but he would have to keep winning against bigger names to make the win against Page mean something. He felt Kenny Omega would have been next in line and AEW probably didn't want to have PAC beat Omega at this point.

When PAC eventually drops his title, doing the DQ finish in England allows an easy reentry point for PAC, if he does return to AEW.

Well there is that

Matt lying about not watching WWE television Breh tweet as soon WWE does something Bucks related.

Actually in Vegas this week too, so will be interesting to see the crowd coming in. Leaving on the red eye on Sat night though

I can see where AEW is coming from but they still fukked up. It's true that you could have PAC go over Page and it wouldn't hurt Page much but then you would have to continue to protect PAC and it makes no sense to do so if he isn't signed to the promotion.

The issue I see is that AEW shouldn't have invested in PAC in the first place if they weren't going to sign an exclusive contract or at least a contract that states they can use him in any way they see fit for their promotion..

AEW will have to learn that you cannot trust a professional wrestler. You cannot be out here taking their word on anything. They are fukking carnies and their own businessmen, PAC would have not a whole lot to gain from dropping a fall in AEW.

I love how Dusty Rhodes’s son is too dumb to book a protective non-finish and that he intentionally set things up so that you can’t do basic booking

No, you can't have a non-finish on your first show. They should have come to an agreed finish weeks ago and furthermore they shouldn't have had a free lance worker in a major match, if they were that concerned then they should have given PAC the bag. If Cody doesn't learn from this.... AEW won't be around long.

I actually want to watch this now to see how bad will be.

 

[Silkk]

If it was really a booking issue why not just have somebody like MJF come out & kill them both to make a name for himself.

To be fair I can imagine a ton of people "hate watch" WWE and immediate tweet out to Matt and Nick when WWE does anything related to the Bucks I imagine they be getting tweets every time The Usos have a match and does a Samoan Kick Luau

Those fans will shyt on a dusty finish badly. They’d boo any draw/dq/count out. Unless a big star is causing the dq of course

It's also a very bad look on the company's very first event to have any sort of dusty finish on it.
