All Elite Wrestling (AEW) is gearing up for its sixth edition of the iconic pay-per-view Double or Nothing 2024, set to take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. With several major angles currently in development, Tony Khan, AEW’s sports executive, has promised fans a “classic show.” As the excitement builds up, we take a closer look at five surprising creative decisions that Khan could make at Double or Nothing 2024, which could shake up the wrestling world.
One potential twist could see Adam Copeland, also known as Edge, forced to join The House of Black if he loses his TNT Title to Malakai Black in a barbed wire steel cage match. This stipulation could lead to a dramatic shift in Copeland’s character, opening up new storyline avenues for the WWE Hall of Famer. Furthermore, the return of Britt Baker, who has been out of action since September, could add a new layer of excitement to the women’s division. Baker’s comeback could see her confronting Toni Storm, the reigning Women’s World Champion, and potentially setting up a future feud.
The hostile takeover of AEW by The New Elite has been a dominant storyline in recent weeks, with The Elite taking out Kenny Omega and Tony Khan. A surprising twist could see Khan, in kayfabe, adding a stipulation that would strip Matthew and Nicholas Jackson of their authority as EVPs if The Elite loses to FTR, Bryan Danielson, and Darby Allin in the Anarchy in the Arena Match. This could lead to a dramatic shift in power dynamics within AEW.
Hangman Adam Page, who has been absent from AEW television since being suspended by The Young Bucks, could make a surprising return at Double or Nothing 2024. The Anxious Millennial Cowboy has a history with many of the stars involved in the Anarchy in the Arena Match, and aligning himself with The Elite could see him resume his feud with current AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland.
Lastly, the return of Maxwell Jacob Friedman, who has been missing from AEW programming since losing the World Championship to Samoa Joe, could be a game-changer. Friedman’s unexpected comeback could see him resume his feud with Adam Cole and The Undisputed Kingdom, or even play a part in the Anarchy in the Arena match.
With so many possibilities on the table, fans are eagerly anticipating what Tony Khan has in store for them at Double or Nothing 2024. One thing is certain – this pay-per-view event is shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable and exciting in AEW history.
