I feel like this will be a popular opinion across the board, but so what; this is a great decision by AEW. Not a good decision, not a very good decision, a GREAT decision. And there’s so many reasons why. There is the connection to the “Grand Slam” events held in Arthur Ashe, which remained highly anticipated, well done events for AEW, even if attendance did decline throughout the four shows. And while some people may not care about this, Louis Armstrong Stadium will provide a uniqueness to Double or Nothing that normal, NBA sized arenas wouldn’t. Ever thought you’d see Anarchy in the Arena spilling over to the practice tennis courts? Get ready, cause that may be a reality now.

But you know what the best part about Double or Nothing being in Queens is? It won’t be in Las Vegas. I’m sorry Vegas wrestling fans; I’m sure there’s plenty of passionate fans in the city, and they are responsible for the recent buzz around Brody King due to their anti-ICE chants on “AEW Dynamite” two weeks ago. But those last two Double or Nothing’s held in Vegas were borderline dire, with crowds that didn’t seem to care all that much with the action going on in front of them. It’s part of what made last year’s Double or Nothing such a breath of fresh air; that Phoenix crowd was into that show, start to finish. I think we have a strong chance to see that play out again here, with another fresh crowd in a great market getting the chance to take in a PPV at what should be one of the more unique wrestling venues since, well, Arthur Ashe Stadium.
