In an intervention this week Before Busted Open Radio's microphones To promote Double or Nothing 2025, Will Ospreay He wanted to take the temperature to the product of AEW.
(…) I want AEW to be today one of the best luchistic promoters in the world. I want everyone to trust wrestling, I want people to trust our ability to tell stories. AND I really think that in AEW we now managed to combine incredible action and great narrative».
And Sunday, Ospreay will be the protagonist, along with «Hangman» Pageof The final of a tournament, that of the Owen Hart Foundation, which brings together those two factors indicated by “The Aerial Assassin” and constitutes the most attractive, on paper, by Double Or nothing 2025.
► «I cross a desert and its secret desolation without a name »
With the excellent segment that Ospreay and “Hangman” Page combined This last Wednesday in Dynamiteboth left their excessive ambition to win the fair and end up overthrowing Jon Moxley next July 12. Everything, when at the same time, the return of Darby Allin and rumored with that of Eddie Kingston.
From Full Gear 2024, AEW has managed to build a brilliant panorama of candidates for their great manly scepterbut, something more important for symbolism: a brilliant panorama of potential faces of the product that end Moxley's dark reign; Whoever results in, did not err to say that his strategy would end up being beneficial. However, At the expense of a stellar scene that for months has meant the least attractive of the product.
“Seeing The Elephant” is a popular expression in the US, following the circuses that crossed the country before the secession war and reserved as a collection the sample of an elephant, and that to posteriori The soldiers of this contest endorsed, thus symbolizing the necessary process of all recruit until the final prize: enter into combat. Similar to “Seeing The Lions”, it is used by the British three centuries before, from, according to the legend, primal circus located the Tower of London, where lions were said.
Y AEW, somehow, converge lions and elephants in Double Or Nothing 2025curiously, both the manly final with Ospreay and Page and the female with Mercedes Moné y Jamie Hayter They present a collision USA vs. England that ignoring metaphors, can leave us two hand in hand combat candidates of 2025, sold in a copy by the company. AEW is again “where the best fight” … in the star.
And if all the vision payment events from the beginning of the Moxley reign had a five-star “mid-card”, which compensatory regarding the star positions, Double or Nothing seems to operate in an opposite way.
Beyond the finals by the Owen Hart Cup, the “Anarchy in the Arena” (life insurance for an established but flexible formula) and the defense of Kazuchika Okada ante Mike Bailey (Potential “Show Stealer”), really the rest of the Double Or Nothing 2025 menu looks less solid compared to that of Dynasty 2025 o Revolution 2025. Without meaning this, of course, that they constitute dispensable points. But some seem more typical of a television episode, such as that clash with the AEW World Couples Championship in Liza, where the greatest interest falls into the role it may have Mjf Now that he is a new member of The Hurt Syndicate.
In any case, they are attentive to Toni Storm putting on the table the AEW Women's World Championship Mina Shirakawa; revenge of his remarkable duel in Forbidden Door 2024. Or to the new competitive commitment of Nigel McGuinnessfirst since fighting Lee Moriarty For the pure championship ROH in Death Before Dishonor 2024. Or to the third -third fight with aftertaste PWG between Paragon and the Don Callis Familywithout too much construction, or missing.
Maybe Double Or Nothing, the first event presented AEW now six years ago, is no longer the most indicated in the promoter's calendar and her poster reflects it in 2025, but The road to All In: Texas It will start here, crossing a desert.
