10 HUGE AEW Double Or Nothing Predictions You Need To Know
6. SoCal Uncensored Vs. Strong Hearts
This bout might become a victim of expectations.
Fans have been conditioned into believing that CIMA is leading three of Oriental Wrestling Entertainment's wacky acrobats into battle against Franke Kazarian, Christopher Daniels, and Scorpio Sky. He most certainly is not. T-Hawk and El Lindaman are great, and both of them are going to kill it on Saturday evening, but they aren't flippydoos. Fast and agile? Yes, but these are small, mobile, chop-throwing powerhouses, not the stunt artists the Being The Elite/Road To Double Or Nothing videos may have led to you to expect.
Nonetheless, this should be a fantastic scrap. Strong Hearts have become the hot thing in every promotion they've appeared for. This means they're quietly one of the most exciting AEW acquisitions to date, and while Impact Wrestling affiliations will prevent stablemates Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz from appearing, but this trio (supplemented by the odd OWE import or two) can make a mark on their own.
SoCal Uncensored are smart. They'll help lay out a match that not only brings three less familiar wrestlers up a level, but springboards them towards the national consciousness.
Winners: Strong Hearts.
