3. ‘Anarchy’ Happens Exclusively Backstage

Right, straight up, it's really unlikely that AEW tries this. People can say what they want about Tony Khan's company, but he recognises the value of giving live crowds a lot of bang for their buck. Regardless, there's this gnawing worry in the back of yours truly's mind that 'Anarchy In The Arena' could be a backstage brawl.

Like, exclusively.

It wouldn't be out of character for the BCC crew of Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson, Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta to ambush The Elite in a corridor somewhere. Then, what if fans there live for DoN start to realise that the bout isn't making its merry way towards ringside at all?

That'd be a real bummer for those excited to see Kenny Omega, The Young Bucks, Hangman Page etc. Again, it's highly unlikely to go down this way, but this guy just can't shake the cinematic cobwebs from his mind. 2020 was like a fever dream.
