AEW Double or Nothing - May 25, 2025

Yeah that's def what he should do when his events still seem just as successful as they wouldn't have been otherwise, and that's at least the perception I got for last night. The Crockett stuff killed them bc PPV providers were literally pressured not to show their events. AEW even has a bit more freedom on arenas now I think bc they challenged that and WWE probs realized they shouldn't fight it. So he's 100% already handling it better than Crockett, Crockett lost the counter programming fight the first time it ever happened

That commentary desk went into business for itself... I think Tony's gonna fire it.

The velocity on that Buckshot Lariat in that "duel"...

yeah on my head I knew it was still a little too early but that looked like the finish to me, I bit hard

Didn't expect Hangman to win, but it really was a coin flip. Makes me think they're going down that road I was talking about in one of the last Dynamite/Collision threads. Hangman getting the Title off Mox, but loses it in England to Ospreay then. (Maybe even with Will heeling up for it)

This was basically the setup for that...

So I keep coming back to something with that Anarchy In The Arena match. Afterwards the Faces were all celebrating onthe stage. The Briefcase was sitting right in front of them, and they threw it away. A few months ago the biggest story going was getting that briefcase and opening it so people see the Championship again. Why the fuck didn't they open the briefcase?

I know I'm being a Nitpick Jones here. But it just feels weird t me

yeah I feel like that specific part has been eh from the start lol the entire briefcase gimmick

Exactly. I hated it from the beginning felt it was disparaging to the title. I'd rather have my champion never show up but when he's there treat the Championship with respect than to be there every week hating the title.

 

[R-Troop]

It's the main reason I keep wanting Mox to lose the championship

Great PPV overall. Quick ratings for me made it, just match-wise, about an 82 out of 100.
