I can’t believe it’s already been three months since Eddie Kingston died saving Jon Moxley’s life during the Exploding Barbed Wire Death Match. AEW’s follow-up ppv, Double or Nothing, is this Sunday.
Despite some conspiracy theorists claiming it’s fixed, my picks for each match are as follows:
Double or Nothing 2021
Kenny Omega (c) vs. Orange Cassidy vs. Pac - AEW World Title
I watched TNA for the first time in a decade to watch Omega win their belt. The guy is killing it right now. Pac has to pin Orange Cassidy if he wants to win. I really like Orange, but I doubt he'll put in enough effort to win the match. Prediction: Kenny Omega
The Young Bucks (c) vs. Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston - AEW Tag Team Titles
Eddie Kingston is still alive? It's a miracle! If Jon and Eddie can beat Death from the last ppv, they can beat the Young Bucks. Prediction: Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston
Hikaru Shida (c) vs. Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. - AEW Women’s World Championship
Not only is Dr. Baker an American, she's from Pittsburgh. Easy choice. Prediction: Britt Baker
Miro (c) vs. Lance Archer (with Jake Roberts) - TNT Title
I've hated Lance Archer since his early TNA days. It's that damn tramp stamp. When conspiracy theorists aren't busy claiming wrestling is fixed, they claim it's gay. Lance's tramp stamp doesn't help dispute that. Besides, the show falls on Rusev Day. Prediction: Miro
The Pinnacle (MJF, Wardlow, Shawn Spears, Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood) (with Tully Blanchard) vs. The Inner Circle (Chris Jericho, Jake Hager, Sammy Guevara, Santana and Ortiz) - Stadium Stampede (If Inner Circle loses, they must disband)
wtf is a Stadium Stampede match? Regardless, Jericho always has a few tricks up his up his spiked sleeve. Prediction: The Inner Circle
Sting and Darby Allin vs. Scorpio Sky and Ethan Page
I couldn't be less interested in Scorpio Sky and the other guy. Prediction: Sting and Skateboard Sting.
Cody Rhodes (with Arn Anderson) vs. Anthony Ogogo
Anthony Ogogo per wrestlinginc: "I hate this notion that America is the greatest country in the world. ‘Land of the free’, Utter bullsh*t. Land of the free? That’s where they capture kids and stick them in cages?... Americans go, ‘America, best country in the world.’ You ain’t the best country in Northern America if you don’t even look after your citizens, if you take kids away from their parents and lock them in cages."
The only thing more worthless than a government program is a foreigner's opinion. I hope Cody turns him into a good communist. BTW, didn't Ogogo get the memo that "progressives" aren't supposed to talk about the "kids in cages" now that Biden is President? Stupid idiot. Prediction: Cody Rhodes
Casino Battle Royal - Christian Cage vs. Matt Sydal vs. Powerhouse Hobbs vs. Evil Uno vs. Colt Cabana vs. Preston Vance vs. Jungle Boy vs. Matt Hardy vs. Marq Quen vs. Isiah Kassidy vs. Penta El Zero Miedo vs. TBA
I don't know who most of those people are. I don't care. Prediction: TBA
“Hangman” Adam Page vs. Brian Cage (with Taz)
How is it even physically possible for anyone to beat Brian Cage? Prediction: Brian Cage
This is going to be a good show. Nine matches and only one women’s match (take note WWE). The thing I’m looking forward to most is the live crowd, which is just as important as any wrestler inside the ring. Prediction: Aside from having acommie on my television, Double or Nothing is going to be fun.
