Double or Nothing has just wrapped up, and it was one of the best wrestling shows that's been held in quite some time. While their schedule before making it to TV in October isn't yet confirmed, they've done a great job setting up the future. Whether it be for new Championships or grudge matches, there are plenty of mouthwatering matchups in the future plans for AEW, and if they can hold off on running a lot of them so soon, they'll be great for quite some time.
Whether they happen at Fight for the Fallen, Fyter Fest, All Out, or they wait until TV begins in October, AEW has plenty of momentum behind them, and these matches certainly help. So without further ado, sit back and read along as today we look at 5 matches All Elite Wrestling have set up at Double or Nothing that we are incredibly excited to see in the future whenever they decide to run them.
#5 Nyla Rose vs. Awesome Kong
We came into Double or Nothing expecting to see a Triple Threat match between Nyla Rose, Kylie Rae and Britt Baker, but at the last second, Brandi Rhodes made a huge switch by bringing in former TNA icon Awesome Kong.
She didn't feature too heavily in the match, but that's likely to build her as a threat going forward. After being taken out by a Nyla Rose spear to the steel steps, this is one that AEW are going to heavily build going forward.
Alongside the 4 competitors and the Joshi performers, AEW have the likes of Sadie Gibbs, Bea Priestley and Allie waiting in the wings, so it's a very deep roster, but no match will have the atmosphere like this hoss fight. It was built quite a lot at Double or Nothing, and it's going to happen sometime in the future, and if Kong can still go, this one will be a war to remember.
#4 The Young Bucks vs. Super Smash Bros
The tag team division heading into Double or Nothing was stacked, but following a bout between the Best Friends and Angelico & Jack Evans, we got to see the injection of an iconic independent tag team. The Super Smash Bros may not have received the best ovation when they attacked the aforementioned 4 men, but they are one of the most prestigious teams on the independent scene, and have had big fans in the Young Bucks for quite some time.
Matt and Nick have sung their praises in interviews before, and after that introduction, it's clear they'll play a big part in this division going forward. We've seen the Bucks battle Best Friends and SCU quite a lot in Ring of Honor, so this would be quite a fresh matchup, and if AEW build the Super Smash Bros (name likely to change on this big stage), they could be the ones to wrestle The Young Bucks to crown the first ever AEW Tag Team Champions.
#3 MJF vs. Jimmy Havoc
Despite not winning a match at Double or Nothing, plenty of people will be leaving the weekend thinking about MJF, as he showed just what a fantastic character he is for this company. No one in AEW gets true heel heat quite like Maxwell Jacob Friedman, and after cutting a great promo on Bret Hart, he was confronted by Jungle Boy, Jimmy Havoc and 'Hangman' Adam Page.
It's clear that he's making enemies quite quickly, but given the violent, sadistic side of Jimmy Havoc, we'd all love to see The King of the Goths get his hands on MJF, sooner rather than later. Unlike others on this list, that one doesn't have to wait for a big show, as it could be a great showcase between two young stars, and if AEW are indeed looking to push a more hardcore style, this would be a fantastic start.
#2 Jon Moxley vs. Kenny Omega
While many expected to see Jon Moxley in AEW, his appearance following the main event was still a huge surprise, and after attacking Chris Jericho and the official, he turned his attention to The Cleaner. The two brawled all over the MGM Grand until Moxley stood tall to end the show, and with all the heat and creativity that exist between the two, the eventual blow-off bout has Match of the Year written all over it.
Moxley will make his AEW debut at Fyter Fest, while Kenny will be looking to recover from his loss to Chris Jericho, so it's safe to say that at their next big show after Fyter Fest, this two will be looking to get their hands on each other. This will be a clash of arguably the two biggest stars in the company, and with a great series of matches, All Elite Wrestling will solidify themselves as true competition to WWE.
#1 Chris Jericho vs. 'Hangman' Adam Page
This match has been confirmed by AEW to be taking place 'in the future', but given what a beautiful World Championship belt they unveiled at Double or Nothing, this is one we want to see now. If AEW can build it properly, this will have the big fight feel that Kenny Omega vs. Chris Jericho did, as it clearly pits the future of All Elite Wrestling up against a wrestling icon.
This isn't a match that people would have expected to crown the first AEW Champion, but given how great Jericho has been over the past few years and the potential that Hangman has, it's going to be great.
Hopefully this one isn't saved for All Out in August, as that's too long to wait, but AEW need to find time to give this the build it deserves, as it will set the stage for it's main event picture for years to come.
