Assume we’re getting The Elite vs. BCC Anarchy in the Arena. As well as Wardlow vs. Christian, Jericho vs. Cole, and HOB vs. Acclaimed/Gunn.
So far not a lot that I’d be excited to watch except for Elite vs. BCC, and maybe the Pillars match (though the outcome is obvious).

I'd throw in Hayter vs Ruby (guessing they want to save Saraya for All IN), an International title match, and probably a Casino Battle Royal. |

Since this is a thread about Double or Nothing, I feel it is only right to talk about how this event has the best PPV theme in all of wrestling:

Can't believe it's nearly a year since MJF's no-show/hissy fit/plane ticket debacle

One of my big hopes here is Swerve and Keith get their one on one match at last, it should be great for one thing and they deserve it after having to sit out Revolution (presumably because of time constraints with the Iron Man Match). Also assume we get Cole/Jericho, which has a lot more needle to it than I initially expected it would and am looking forward to, and maybe Starks vs Jay White if their match on Dynamite has a screwy finish, maybe with some guys joining BCG and ruining the match? Not sure what they'll do with the women, a multi woman match or save that for Blood and Guts or a Jamie title defence given the Outcasts discussed which of them should challenge her a little while back.
The Elite/BCC and Pillars Match will steal the show I would think, PPV would be worth it for those two matches alone. I know some will be down on the latter as they know who'll win but everyone knew MJF was beating Danielson and it ended up being one of the best matches in AEW history, maybe the 3 guys in this match aren't as believable but false finishes done in the right way can always get the crowd buying a winner they didn't expect, loads of examples of it down the years.
Should be a great show, their PPVs virtually always are.

I'm good with Hayter/Ruby for Double or Nothing (though I'd be seriously frustrated if Ruby won) but man what a colossal disappointment Hayter/Saraya would be for All In. |

I'd go Anarchy in the Arena for the women with the Title shots vs careers as an added stip. Have it be three on three and the Outcasts win. Then you get Hayter vs Ruby in June, Hayter vs. Storm in July, and then Saraya announces she's taking her shot in London.
I'd do a 4 on 4 Elite and Takeshita vs BCC with Takeehita turning. Hangman makes the save. This brings the Elite together but still down one until Kenny makes phone call to Ibushi. This gets us both Stadium Stampede and a blood and guts.

Way down from last year's Double or Nothing, which had a crowd of 14,400.
AEW really need to change things up instead of always doing this PPV in the same location. I've never understood why Tony seems to think DON and All Out always need to be in the same city every year.

Well Las Vegas has been pretty synonymous with the PPV and AEW's beginnings. The show will likely get close to selling out as more of the card is revealed (Only two matches really confirmed) All Out always draws though, Chicago's a great market for them, I don't see why they'd change that one If they changed DON they'd probably have to go to another Casino heavy town to keep the theme. Atlantic City or Mohegan Sun Arena in PA might be decent choices. |

The card can make a difference for some goers, I'm not saying they'd get 7K but a 10K capacity would be good Idk what the reason might be for their attendance lower in Vegas this year, this is really the only time of the year they go there, so this is why I think a more rounded card would push tickets. Especially when they announce an Elite vs BCC match |
