16 Ups & 4 Downs From AEW Double Or Nothing 2019

Ups...

16. Welcome To The Party

The Buy In's brief closing segment saw The Young Bucks, Kenny Omega, and Cody and Brandi Rhodes gathered on the stage for their obligatory ra-ra "welcome to the show" segment.

That this took place on the pre-show rather than the main card is an Up in itself. If this was WWE, it would have been Triple H, Stephanie, and Vince McMahon putting themselves over for 20-30 minutes, sending everyone to sleep in the process. Here, it was The Elite soaking in the applause, showing gratitude, bantering off each other, and claiming they were out to make history. The best part? It only lasted a couple of minutes.

This segment had to happen, and The Elite delivered it in the best possible format. Well done to those guys for not seizing a needlessly huge spotlight here.
