6 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Dynamite (May 29 - Results & Review)
All the fallout from Double Or Nothing, and Forbidden Door build begins with a MAJOR main event
Double Or Nothing was the usual pay-per-view for All Elite Wrestling in that seemingly just as many thought it was the best show of the year as found it drab to the point of lethargy.
The debate occurs with increasingly regularity now because the pay-per-views themselves do, which is really part of the wider problem beyond if you found the event too long or not. Ultimately the best chance AEW stood of actually ever being Elite was in the original version of the model - a two-hour television show broken up by the company's tentpole events that were a privilege and reward to appear on. Regardless of if you enjoy AEW in 2024, the opposite is now true.
Across multiple hours of first-run weekly television and a pay-per-view nearly every month, the company literally cannot do the above. Either television in-ring quality dips in order to preserve the big matches on the cards you pay for, or those monthly supershows aren't worth the money because Dynamite remains home to the most thrilling wrestling around. Growing pains perhaps, but more growth is incoming.
And as for this month? Time to reset the cycle for Forbidden Door and light the fuse...
