AEW Double Or Nothing 2023: 10 Nightmares That Could Come True

4. “Unsanctioned” Gets Lost In The Mix

'Anarchy In The Arena' is the larger-scale brawl on tap for DoN. That could spell disaster for what Chris Jericho and Adam Cole hope to achieve in Vegas then, especially when their "Unsanctioned" match is being teased as ultra-violent. Still, veterans like this pair will know they have to be careful about stealing thunder from The Elite and BCC.

That'd be a bit selfish.

Bunging two similar-feeling brawls on the same card is nothing new for pro wrestling, but it's always risky. After all, what do Jericho and Cole have to offer that's different from 'Anarchy'? The fact it's only two guys and thus less chaotic? That's hardly juicy enough to merit the "Unsanctioned" treatment.

This probs won't be a one-and-done scenario for these boys, but they could find themselves lost in the shuffle this weekend. One solution might be opening the show with Jericho and Cole so they at least have a puncher's chance of drawing fans in.
