Speaking of turning points.

Miro was just kinda' meandering along before suddenly winning that TNT Title a few weeks ago. Now, AEW's real task begins; they have to do everything in their power to show that the Bulgarian can be a main event star. He was veering too close to WWE-style mediocrity before bagging that belt.

It'll be rather upsetting for Lance Archer fans everywhere, but he must lose at Double Or Nothing. Miro needs a landmark win on pay-per-view more than he does, and it's not like dropping to the champ will wreck Archer's prospects or anything. The company can do some healing there afterwards.

There's a bit of an odd vibe to this one, because neither man comes across like a sympathetic figure or true babyface. Even so, Miro should score the win and start going on a machine-like roll through the rest of the roster. He has the skills to make it work if creative has his back.
