10 Huge AEW Double Or Nothing 2023 Predictions You Need To Know
Controversial title changes, weapons everywhere, and personal issues drawing money in Sin City.
It’s impossible for Double Or Nothing not to feel a certain brand of special in whatever lore All Elite Wrestling decides to carve out for the event as the years pass.
In 2019, it was a defining moment in North American wrestling history. A proof-of-concept so effective that it convinced millions of jaded fans the world over to invest fully in an unfinished product over an uneven summer with the promise of what a weekly version could offer in the fall.
A year later, and with AEW already feeling way more established than the 18 months it had actually been operational, Double Or Nothing 2020 was a message from the company to its audience that they'd make it through the worst of the pandemic eventually, 2021 was an emotional celebration of seeing light at the end of the tunnel, and 2022 was ostensibly a bold step into the future with CM Punk as the brand new World Heavyweight Champion. That wasn't quite to be, but the bizarre and unpredictable 12 months that followed resulted in two more hours of television for the company and the banked billions to keep it in business for years to come.
The history is rich. Will 2023's less-than-seminal build be forgotten in the wake of another epic Las Vegas spectacle?
10. Ethan Page & The Gunns Vs. The Hardy Party
There's a minor Rampage spoiler incoming should you be reading this before the show airs or before you've watched it, but it feeds into analysing the prospective quality and the result of this awkward undercard offering, so read ahead at your peril.
On the go-home Rampage, the babyfaces confirmed that Isiah Kassidy was unable to join Matt and Jeff Hardy in their trios bout with The Gunns and Ethan Page, but a replacement had been sourced; Hook.
The 'Cold Hearted Handsome Devil' has been more cold-feeling undercard also-ran of late, such is the danger of the Matt Hardy vortex in All Elite Wrestling,
To recap this risible nonsense once more - if the Hardys win, Matt Hardy will own Ethan Page's contract, which will represent quite the turnabout in their fortunes over the last few months. But then what? More of this absolute sh*t. Heels winning rarely brings about something conclusive in wrestling, but let's let contractual disputes die along with Matt and Page ever interacting again.
Winners - Ethan Page & The Gunns
