That All Elite Wrestling's television deal doesn't kick in until the fall is a shame. While not imperative, it'd be great to see the promotion capitalise on Double Or Nothing's incredible momentum by diving into a regular TV slot immediately. Their product is hotter than the sun's surface, and while running TV shows now isn't feasible for myriad reasons, fans are hungry for the action right away.

Fyter Festival, Fight for the Fallen, and All Out will go down before TV kicks in. This gives fans a handful of opportunities to scratch their All Elite itch throughout the summer, and, with any luck, the promotion will continue their current philosophy of allowing their wrestlers to keep taking independent bookings before Tuesday Night Dynamite (or whatever they call the show) becomes a thing, thus maintaining their buzz.

AEW aren't putting their stars on ice. Instead, the likes of Jon Moxley, Lucha Brothers, and Kylie Rae will keep performing around the globe this summer. Double Or Nothing should bring more eyes to those matches than would've been possible beforehand, and it'd be nice to see AEW uploading them to their own YouTube channel when they can.
