Powell’s POV: AEW pay-per-views cost $49.99 and are available on traditional pay-per-view television, TrillerTV.com, and other streaming platforms. Join me for my live review of AEW Double Or Nothing on the Sunday night beginning with the first pre-show match. The main card begins at 7CT/8ET. A Dot Net Triple Threat same night audio review hosted by Jake Barnett, Will Pruett, and I will be available for Dot Net Members (including our Patreon patrons).
Having 47 title matches on one show just devalues them all.
The worst part of this is that some of these matches could actually mean something if there was a booker who had built the feuds up properly. Instead, it will be a snorefest of nonsense with a bunch of “good matches” according to the dirtsheets and tiny audience that actually watches it.
Swerve, Willow, Black, Storm, Takeshita, the Gunn Boys, and Thunder Rosa need to get out of there ASAP.
