This is shaping up to be a really great card!

[Lizuka #BLM]

I was pretty heavily leaning toward skipping this one but between watching through some old stuff earlier and Dynamite tonight I'm rapidly coming around on it. Not 100% certain on it yet but am pretty curious about Wardlow / MJF and Punk / Hangman in particular.

[eJm]

Tweaked a couple of the matches for the sake of brackets.

Also, am I a bad person that really wants the BCC/JAS match to be Stadium Stampede? The Raiders play in Las Vegas so why not?

EDIT: I know, I know, they basically threw out the idea on TV but still!

[CeilingFan]

I hope the JAS-BCC match becomes Blood And Guts!

I'll be there live so I was hoping but I get that you want to do at least one match before the big gimmick match. But I imagine we get Blood and Guts in June, potentially at the big Detroit show. 

[nihilismizhawt]

I imagine Jade Cargill and FTR will be a part of the show as well.

Plus some variation of Hardys/Sting/Darby and Unlimited Elite, which will play out after next week's Owen matches.

Will there be a Casino Battle Royal? 

[flowercity]

Very very excited for the top two matches (Punk/Hangman & MJF/Wardlow) but the rest of the card inspires little. Too many multi team/man matches. If the Bucks/reDRagon/Hardyz/Sting&Darby ends up being an eight man I will be upset.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

I hope people don't sleep on the tag team triple threat. It's going to be an incredible feature on all the upcoming young talent they have.

It's actually the match I'm most excited for. I could definitely see a title change too to push the Christian turning story a little bit more.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

I'm interested to see how Anarchy in the Arena plays out. I'm guessing it's going to be a hybrid-cinematic match, with pre-taped brawls airing on the tron while there's action perpetually going on at ringside. For example, 2.0 and PnP could end up brawling backstage leading to them doing wacky cinematic stuff, while everyone else has their match in the ring, and they could switch back and forth. The tag teams could later return to ringside while say, Jericho and Kingston brawl up the crowd and into the concession stand, but there would still be Hager and Garcia vs. BCC keeping the live fans engaged in or around the ring.

I assume Arena Wide Brawl that may start off pre-taped in the back, and then sprawl out into live brawls eventually ending in the ring, which is essentially Stadium Stampede but way more interactive with fans... though Stampede 2 had decent crowd interaction, I feel this will be more so.

The big reason why cinematic matches died as crowds returned is because staring at screens that are a long distance from a lot of seats is death for an audience. That's why it's far more likely everyone starts in the ring, and portions of the match spill out everywhere, some of which transition into pre-taped segments.

[clifford]

So we're probably getting Death Triangle Vs. House of Black in a Trios match, and maybe Hardys, Darby & Sting vs. Young Bucks and ReDRagon too?

Doing a Tag Team 3 Way, a Trios match, a 4-on-4 and a 5-on-5 all at the same PPV is certainly one way to get as much of the roster on one card as possible!

I'd a lot rather that than have the show bogged down in another terrible Hardys slow-motion botchfest. At least if it's an eight man Darby can do the bulk of the work.

And Sting can find something high to New Jack-drop off

It's going to be Anarchy In The Arena!
