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. On the other hand they did Beach Break in Cleveland in January.

They need to book a double Blood and Guts for this show. For the men and the women. Forget doing it on TV. I'd much rather that than Anarchy in the Arena. Book that and the rest of the tix will fly off the shelves.
I'll even go as far as NOT buying the show if they don't book it, and this is coming from someone who's bought every PPV. Looks like the card will be:
BCC vs Elite 4 Pillars World title match Adam Cole vs Jericho Wardlow vs Christian Outcasts vs Originals Swerve vs Lee FTR vs Lethal/Jarrett Jay White vs Starks rematch House of Black vs Acclaimed Hardyz vs The Firm
The way the card is shaping up I can't say it's worth $50. With 2 Blood and Guts matches though, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Anarchy in the Arena was amazing, but it can't be improved upon; just like Stadium Stampede, any sequel will pale in comparison. Blood and Guts/War Games doesn't have that issue. Putting 2 BnG matches on this card will significantly improve the buy rate and crowd attendance too. It's a no-brainer.

I hate having multiple of the same gimmick match on one card, lmao. I'd rather have a Blood and Guts and something else instead of two of the same.

Less than two weeks away. I can predict that tonight will have at least a few matches booked and more on Rampage, and then more next week on the go-home shows. Some of these should have been booked already.

So added tonight...
Christan vs Wardlow TNT title Ladder match
Orange Cassidy defends the International Title in a Blackjack Battle Royal

The Elite vs Blackpool Combat Club Anarchy in the Arena.
Likely adding Adam Cole vs Chris Jericho and Ricky Stark vs Jay White in some type of gimmick match

Either that or Taya needs to win here, feel like it's time

I was looking forward to this anyway based on just a couple of the matches (AITA and the Pillars Four Way) but having watched Ricky/Jay White now I'm very excited to see them go again, thought Taya vs Jade was very good first time round so again looking forward to that, similar story with Hayter/Storm which was awesome at Full Gear. Wardlow/Christian Ladder Match has great potential, Battle Royale has all sorts of interesting possibilities, Cole/Jericho has me more interested than I thought I'd be, Mark Briscoe factor in the tag title match interests me... suddenly this looks pretty stacked, especially if they add Keith/Swerve and a Trios Title Match.

I can see the Hardy/Page stuff being on the Buy-In.

I can see the Hardy/Page stuff being on the Buy-In. Depends on who the Mystery Partner is for the Hardy's I think, if it's a shocking return or debut it might be put on the main card

Can we cap it at 8 matches for the card? That’s my one gripe with AEW ppvs while usually end up being good, the card usually is way too long and becomes hard to stay focused. Even 8 may be too much for me IMO.

There's zero point doing Jade/Taya again if Taya is just losing again. The title change has to happen here or she's done

I can only accept Taya losing if Kris return after the match.

Still no point for the Taya rematch if she’s losing, either way.

They could rebuild her by booking her well in the Owen after DON though

I love Kris but sacrificing Taya for her isn't the way to go
