10 Huge AEW Double Or Nothing 2023 Predictions You Need To Know

8. Wardlow (c) Vs. Christian Cage

AEW playing with its audience's expectations when Christian Cage announced that he would challenge Wardlow for the TNT Championship rather than Luchasaurus was the first of many positives to come from the recent upgrade in the 'War Dog's fortune.

The Challenger's been a perfectly pitched pr*ck yet again, this time going for the Champion's new mentor Arn Anderson as a target for his abuse, and various plotting and beatdowns escalating the stakes to include a ladder should include exceptional in-ring details from one of the masters of the craft.

It shouldn't go without mention just how quickly 'Double A' has given the TNT Champion a renewed sense of vigour and purpose, and the fact that it's been folded so neatly into his first programme since retaining the belt has been a welcome reminder of what AEW can do at its impressive best. A hard-fought victory here will do much for the reheated big man, even if a half-big man half-beast presumably awaits in the aftermath.
