As the highly anticipated Double or Nothing pay-per-view event draws near, The Young Bucks, comprised of Matthew and Nicholas Jackson, are gearing up for an unrelenting battle in the Anarchy in the Arena match this Sunday. Alongside Kazuchika Okada and Jack Perry, they will face off against FTR, Darby Allin, and Bryan Danielson, with the very soul of All Elite Wrestling (AEW) hanging in the balance.
In the lead-up to the event, The Young Bucks have expressed mock concern for Danielson’s safety, a sentiment that may seem sincere but also serves as a reminder of their ruthless intentions. In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, the brothers acknowledged the brutal nature of the Anarchy in the Arena match, citing Danielson’s past experiences, including being almost set on fire by Eddie Kingston.
Despite their show of concern, The Young Bucks have made it clear that their primary focus is on emerging victorious and restoring what they believe is the rightful path for AEW. The brothers’ motivations are rooted in their desire to reclaim control of the promotion, which was seized by The New Elite after Tony Khan’s injury. As they navigate the treacherous terrain of AEW, they will stop at nothing to achieve their goal.
This Sunday’s match marks the third iteration of the Anarchy in the Arena, with Danielson having competed in every edition thus far. The American Dragon’s participation comes on the heels of a grueling match against Will Ospreay at AEW Dynasty, leaving him vulnerable and potentially at a disadvantage. The Young Bucks, however, are undaunted, having faced Danielson and The Blackpool Combat Club in last year’s Anarchy in the Arena match, which was marked by its violent and bloody nature.
The stakes are high, with the fate of AEW hanging precariously in the balance. The Young Bucks’ determination to reclaim control has been met with opposition from fellow EVP Kenny Omega and others, but they remain resolute in their pursuit of restoring what they believe is the right path for the promotion. As the clock ticks down to Double or Nothing, one thing is certain – only one team can emerge victorious, and the consequences will be far-reaching for AEW.
