AEW Double or Nothing: Full card preview and match predictions
1. Casino Battle Royale
Kicking off ‘Double or Nothing’ will be a 21 man, over the top rope battle royal. This appropriately named ‘Casino Battle Royale ‘ has a very unique feel and rules set that comes with it.
There will 4 groups of 5 men entering the contest at separate points in the match. The match will start with 5 men in the ring and every 3 minutes, a new group of 5 will join the soirée. Once the 20 entrants have entered, 3 more minutes will elapse before the wild card participant who drew the ‘joker’ will become the final ‘blackjack’ competitor in the AEW battle royal.
The winner of the match will be the final person standing after all of the remaining combatants have been tossed over the top rope and feet have touched the floor. Said winner will also receive the 1st title shot at the AEW heavyweight championship.
Some of the participating wrestlers have been announced. These men are Sonny Kiss, Brandon Cutler, Ace Romero, Brian Pillman Jr, Glacier, Sunny Daze, Joey Janela, MJF, The Private Party, Jungle Boy, Luchasaurus, Jimmy Havoc, Michael Nakazawa, former WWE tag team champion Billy Gunn, Shawn Spears and Dustin Thomas.
I am going to go out on a limb and say that the Joker entrant in the battle royal will be Jon Moxley. (Formerly Dean Ambrose in WWE) With his amazingwould be the Wild card entrant and win the AEW battle royal. With the PAC vs Adam Page potentially being scrapped, I could see Moxley taking PAC’s spot in that contest.
Look for Jon Moxley to claim the 1st crack at the new AEW champion in the near future.
Winner of the Casino Battle Royale: Jon Moxley
