A popular personality was in attendance for AEW Double or Nothing tonight in Las Vegas. He was even spotted celebrating with Swerve Strickland following his big win. This would be Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr.

The world-renowned boxer has a win-loss record of fifty straight victories, with 27 of these being knockouts spanning almost three decades. This was not his first time being in attendance for a wrestling show as he was also involved a few times with WWE. His last appearance for the promotion was in 2009 for an episode of WWE RAW in Las Vegas.

Tonight at Double or Nothing, Floyd Mayweather was spotted in the crowd during the match between Swerve Strickland and Christian Cage. Following the former winning the title bout, the AEW World Champion and the multi-time boxing world champion were seen celebrating together in the crowd.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.
