Concerns swirled among All Elite Wrestling (AEW) officials leading up to this week’s episode of Dynamite, as the show was scheduled to take place at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on the same night as a hockey game between Edmonton and Vancouver. The fear was that fans would leave the venue early to catch the hockey game at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. However, despite these concerns, the show went on, and the AEW delivered a major announcement that kept fans engaged until the very end.
The highlight of the night came when Kenny Omega took to the ring to announce the highly anticipated Anarchy in the Arena match, set to take place at Double or Nothing 2024. The match pits Team All Elite Wrestling, consisting of FTR, Bryan Danielson, and Eddie Kingston, against The Elite. This monumental announcement seemed to be enough to keep fans invested, as many stayed to witness the revelation, despite the hockey game taking place simultaneously.
According to Dave Meltzer on the Wrestling Observer Radio, while some fans did indeed leave early, a sizable portion of the audience remained to hear the announcement, underscoring the charming power of AEW’s storytelling. The drama unfolding on screen has kept fans on the edge of their seats, and this latest development promises to amplify the excitement as Double or Nothing 2024 draws near.
In related news, AEW CEO Tony Khan, who was attacked by The Young Bucks and Jack Perry of The Elite a couple of weeks ago, has yet to make an appearance on the company’s programming. During an appearance on Cincy 360, Khan promoted AEW and humbly acknowledged that he might not be the best person to exact revenge on The Elite. This intriguing development has sparked curiosity among fans, who are now eagerly anticipating the showdown between Team All Elite Wrestling and The Elite at Double or Nothing on May 26.
Will Team All Elite Wrestling emerge victorious, or will The Elite reign supreme? The anticipation is palpable, and fans will have to wait and see how this gripping narrative unfolds. One thing is certain, though – AEW has once again demonstrated its ability to overcome potential hurdles and deliver charming entertainment that keeps fans coming back for more.
