It’s time for the title show as both the TNT Title and the Tag Team Titles are on the line. That is quite the stacked card for any show and hopefully the execution lives up to the hype. You never can tell for sure with something like this but AEW has a history of being able to pull off a big show. Let’s get to it.

We’re done with Double Or Nothing and that means it’s time to start getting ready for the summer. I’m not sure what that is going to mean as AEW takes its time to get to their next pay per views. We do have Fyter Fest though, and that should give us a goal for the next few weeks. Let’s get to it.

It’s back to the pay per view calendar, which isn’t somewhere AEW goes all that often. It’s a triple main event with the Stadium Stampede, Jon Moxley defending the World Title against Brodie Lee and Cody vs. Lance Archer for the inaugural TNT Title. They’ve done well on pay per view before so let’s get to it.

And here’s the card:

AEW: Double Or Nothing (2020) is here and it’s going to make a mark on the Pro Wrestling industry!
A new champion is going to be crowned! We’re about to witness the introduction of the AEW TNT Championship.

It’s built up for a while now and fans can’t wait! A tournament featuring Cody vs Shawn Spears, Sammy Guevara vs Darby Allin, Colt Cabana vs Lance Archer & Dustin Rhodes vs Kip Sabian will determine the new champion.

In a TNT Championship Tournament Semi Finals Cody defeated Darby Allin to advance to the final. The second Semi Final was The Murderhawk Monster Lance Archer vs Dustin Rhodes and Lance Archer won it!

On the night of AEW: Double Or Nothing, only two people will remain. One will walk out as the first AEW TNT Champion! Who will be crowned the first-ever TNT Champion – The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes or The Murderhawk Monster Lance Archer? For now one is for sure – the boxing legend Mike Tyson will be presenting the belt to the winner!

Also in the Lineup:

In Single Matches:
MJF vs Jungle Boy
Dr. Brit Baker vs Kris Statlander

Casino Ladder Match – nine wrestlers and one casino chip. Two entrants will start the bout with another entering every 90 seconds. The one who took the chip is the winner and receives a future AEW World Championship match.
Will all nine wrestlers have the opportunity to get on the ring or the chip will be grabbed before? Let’s find out!
So far announced wrestlers in the casino ladder match are: Darby Allin vs Colt Cabana vs Orange Cassidy vs Fenix vs Scorpio Sky vs Kip Sabian vs Frankie Kazarian vs Luchasaurus vs TBA

Dustin Rhodes vs Shawn Spears

AEW Women’s Title is on the line – no disqualification, no count out!
Will Nyla Rose will be a champion again or Hiraku Shida will become the new champion?

Stadium Stampede:
The Elite (Kenny Omega, Young Bucks, Adam Page) & Matt Hardy vs The Inner Circle (Chris Jericho, Sammy Guevara, Jake Hager, Santana & Ortiz)

And that’s not all!

The AEW World Champion Jon Moxley will defend his title against The Exalted One, Mr. Brodie Lee

It will be а remarkable night! Tune in on Saturday, May 23rd and enjoy a full and intense lineup that will surely put you at the edge of your seat!

*Lineup subject to change!

 

LOL, subject to change indeed.

Anyway, my review should be up pretty quick afterwards tonight.  Have a great night!

It’s the go home show for Double or Nothing and that means it is time to hammer home everything that has already been set up. Hopefully that makes for a good show as you never know what you might get out of something like this. Maybe Cody can ram something at six miles an hour this time. Let’s get to it.

We’re coming up on Double Or Nothing and that means things are going to be pushing forward this week. The big story coming out of last week was the return of Santana and Ortiz to put the Inner Circle back to full strength. I’m not sure where things can from here but it should be interesting either way. Let’s get to it.

LIVE from Daily’s Place in Jacksonville, FL.  The crowd is PACKED at ringside.  By Covid Nightmare-times standards.  Hey, here in Saskatchewan we’re beginning the process of opening up again, so I can only assume Florida also has things under control thanks to sensible social distancing and strong leadership.  Also, it’s not WWE, so it’s fine.

Anyway, the arena is open air, so it immediately feels so much more open and so much less claustrophobic than the stuff from the past few weeks.  What a breath of fresh air, pardon the pun.

Your hosts are Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone & Excalibur.

We’re back live and that means we could be in for something a little more interesting. I’m curious to see if there are going to be any fans in the building this time. It seems that they can put about 25% of the fans inside and that could go a long way. I’m not sure what else to expect but we could be in for a fun one. Let’s get to it.

It’s still tournament time as the taped shows continues. This time around we have the semifinals for the TNT Title tournament and that means we have some big matches to get ready. In addition to that, we have Brodie Lee vs. Marko Stunt, in a match that should last about thirty seconds but I’ll put the over/under at five minutes because AEW has to let everyone shine. Let’s get to it.

We’re still on the road to what was supposed to be Double Or Nothing from Las Vegas but it could be interesting to see what they might have to do instead. I’m not sure how things are going to go around here but I liked last week’s show well enough. That doesn’t always mean something going forward though and now we’ll have to see where this goes from here. Let’s get to it.

The SmarK Rant for AEW Dynamite – 04.15.20

I was gonna take a pass on the show this week because I’m really over this empty arena stuff in general, but then Vince McMahon went and won Dickhead of the Year 2020 in the span of a few hours, so I kind of feel like reviewing the competition just to spite WWE.  Tomorrow I’ll start the new project I had mentioned in the daily thread earlier today:  Going back to 2005 and picking up RAW/Smackdown where I originally left off reviewing 15 years ago!

Also, please do continue sharing these on social media if you enjoy reading them, it really does help me out a lot.  Especially if you have a Twitter account with a million followers.

We’re taped again and this time around we have a major match with the World Title on the line as Jake Hager challenges Jon Moxley. Other than that it’s time to continue the TNT Title tournament as we continue towards what is likely going to be an empty arena Double Or Nothing at some location to be determined. Let’s get to it.
