AEW Worlds End 2023: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True

10. Fans Yawn Through Undercard Bouts

There's no point in ignoring this.

Worlds End's undercard will play host to some bouts that'd probably be more at home on an episode of Rampage than on a pay-per-view. Hook vs. Wheeler Yuta for the FTW strap and Julia Hart vs. Abadon for the TBS one, in particular, could well struggle to maintain interest from the live crowd on the night.

Similarly, Riho being brought back into the frame to challenge Toni Storm for the main Women's prize lacks that necessary punch that screams 'this is a big time, can't miss pay-per-view' to punters. All three of those matches, regrettably, feel rather second rate. That's a huge concern for this guy, personally.

The undercard on Saturday might end up coming across as regular TV rather than something people are thrilled to pay hard-earned cash for. Therein lies the problem with heaping more pay-per-views onto AEW's schedule; some of them will be more In Your House than WrestleMania.
