I personally thought that it was an enjoyable Pay-Per-View with some moments that everyone will look back upon years from now. On the other hand, it may not have been a perfect event from start-to-finish.

Despite some drawbacks, it is quite apparent that AEW has set a definite creative path for upcoming shows. Here are a few interesting observations from AEW Double or Nothing.

#3: Why Cody vs. Dustin Rhodes is a match of the year candidate

AEW Double or Nothing's best match was undoubtedly Cody vs. Dustin Rhodes.

Both brothers displayed an emotional, roller-coaster ride of back-and-forth sequences that will be ingrained in my brain forever.

Honestly, this is a type of wrestling match that we rarely see nowadays. Cody vs. Dustin Rhodes did not feature the best moves or fast-paced action from start-to-finish.

But the reason why many people regard it as the best match they have witnessed in this year so far is because of storytelling.

We rarely see matches like these nowadays. These contests pave the way for complex storytelling without selling the integrity of the performers involved. Don't get me wrong, I like fast-paced action too, but there is just something magical about matches that primarily focus on storytelling instead of the moves.

Also, I liked how Cody symbolized the end of Triple H's reign as the King of Kings by demolishing The Game's iconic throne with a Sledgehammer. While I can't say anything about Triple H's integrity as a showrunner, it was just a cool moment to witness on live television.

The post-match reconciliation between Cody and Dustin is a must-watch tearjerking moment. If you haven't watched Double or Nothing, then this match just might be the right place to start.

#2: Tag-Team Wrestling was one of the biggest highlights from AEW Double or Nothing

AEW has revamped Tag Team Wrestling as one of the best aspects of their brand

From SoCal Uncensored to The Young Bucks, I felt that tag team wrestling was one of the best aspects of Double or Nothing.

From a competitive standpoint, AEW has a great chance of showcasing their tag division over WWE's underwhelming creative developments when it comes to tag team wrestling on both RAW and SmackDown Live.

Even the commentators during last night's Double or Nothing event pointed out that tag team wrestling should be one of the best forms of wrestling, and AEW might just be a great platform for potential tag teams to showcase their best skills.

On top of that, this comes off as no surprise, since The Young Bucks play a huge role in backstage affairs. This was a long time coming, and thanks to The Young Bucks and AEW, we might finally have a commercial alternative with regards to tag team wrestling content.

#1: What is Jon Moxley's endgame in AEW?

Jon Moxley is one of the biggest AEW signings to date

Formerly known as Dean Ambrose, Jon Moxley closed off last night's AEW Double or Nothing in a very impressive fashion.

It has been confirmed that Moxley has signed a multi-year deal with AEW, and it looks like he might be one of the biggest competitors on the roster.

Moxley also has more creative freedom this time around than he did in WWE, which is a good sign of things to come. He will also make his AEW in-ring debut on June 29 at Fyter Fest in Daytona Beach, Florida.

Judging from last night, Dean Ambrose might be directly involved in the AEW World Title scenario. We might also see a brutal hardcore match between Jimmy Havoc and Jon Moxley since both competitors are on the same roster now.

What do you think is next in store for Jon Moxley? Do let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

The man himself could have one of the biggest career resurgences in recent memory if his character is actually fleshed out from all aspects, this time around.
