Double or Nothing VII - 5/25/2025

[Curt McGirt]

Add in a Fingerpoke of Doom?

[dorfus malorfus]

YES and Danielson joins the Deathriders perfect 

[Curt McGirt]

I would actually give that last one an at least 30% chance of happening.

[Sublime]

If Danielson came back and joined the group that took his title after trying to murder him I’d probably be done with AEW.

[Curt McGirt]

You reminded me of the actual history between them, which I'd forgot and... no, I'm not gonna change that premonition. I'm not saying half or anything, but 30% feels about right.

[The Natural]

We need some new matches announced a fortnight out from Double or Nothing.

[dorfus malorfus]

Obviously the Danielson joining the Deathriders fantasy is mostly a joke in questionable taste but considering they almost immediately retconned the Regal heel turn in a pre-taped video (featuring a guy who had already left for the competition) using the Return of the Jedi "but I did turn heel...from a certain point of view ;-)" device to undo the logic of the turn...I honestly think they could have Danielson say one line about how being asphyxiated twice made him realize who his real friends were and then hug Moxley and people would move on pretty quick.

[Curt McGirt]

Danielson being a Deathrider might actually make them seem like a force haha

[The Natural]

Liking all the confirmed matches so far:

Mercedes Mone vs. Jamie Hayter.

Hangman Adam Page vs. Will Ospreay.

Timeless Toni Storm vs. Mina Shirakawa.

Hurt Business vs. Dustin Rhodes and Slappable Sammy.

FTR vs. Nigel McGuiness/Daniel Garcia.

Most looking forward to Mone/Hayter, Page/Ospreay even with the caveat I think Bruv Boy is winning and Storm/Shirakawa.

I’m with you on the matches you’re most looking forward to. And I’ll say as a fan of Ospreay even that I prefer a Hangman win. The other thing I’m excited for is seeing Sammy bump for the Hurt Syndicate. I can see Lashley about breaking him in two with a spear.

Cool we agree on the matches we're most looking forward to and we both want Hangman Adam Page to win even though you're an Will Ospreay fan and I'm not.

On the subject of Ospreay, I replied to your post in the WON HOF Thread asking me about Will:

This has the potential to be an absurdly good card. I honestly will probably watch it in two sittings to not burn out.

I think I'll be watching alive even though Sunday PPV's suck and I expect this to go over four hours. I can see 4 hours and 20 minutes, no pun intended with the numbers. This will go out at 1am Monday morning but least it's a Bank Holiday. Feel for those who will have to work it. Here's how wrestling and MMA looks in the UK live compared to the USA:

WWE RAW: 1am to 4am Tuesday morning.

WWE NXT: 1am to 3am Wednesday morning.

NXT Dynamite: 1am to 3am Thursday morning.

WWE Smackdown: 1am to 4am Saturday morning.

AEW Collison: 1am to 3am Sunday morning.

WWE PLE: 1am-3am or 4am Sunday or Monday morning.

AEW PPV: 1am-4am Sunday morning or Monday morning.

UFC PPV Main Card: 3am-6am Sunday morning. Time depends on if fights end quick or all go to a decision.

Oh yeah, 4+ for sure. And I work at 6 am on Mondays so there's no way. However, a 2 hour block after work Monday and 2 hours Tuesday night will probably sit just right. On PPV weeks for AEW, that's my usual schedule.  Then Dynamite Thursdays and Collision on Sunday. Sprinkle in miscellaneous shows from YouTube the other days and you have my week.

Ricochet vs Mark Briscoe in a Stretcher Match was added, hell yeah! Ric probably needs the win more but both dudes seem to be in that sweet spot where losses don't hurt them so it could go either way. Dynasty wasn't a bad show but this one looks like it could blow it out of the water

[Matt D]

On paper this might be the best AEW PPV card for me in ages.

[AxB]

For some reason, DoN 2025 isn't available to buy on Fite yet. It's awfully close to the show... usually you can buy them a month in advance, but not this time.

They should add a roulette wheel to the Double or Nothing ordering screen. So you randomly get it for either double the price, or for free.

[Johnny Sorrow]

Briscoe vs Ricochet is going to be a stretcher match. Already? Believe me, I want to see that. But where was the escalation in this "feud" that would lead to a stretcher match?

[Steventon]

did i miss something or were they not building up ricochet vs kevin knight a few weeks ago?

Knight's in the BoSJ right now. I'd imagine that'll pick up again after the tournament.

I have been checking Triller TV app for updates constantly for a while now and there's still nothing about Double or Nothing becoming available to purchase. There has been no notification about discontinuation of AEW PPV's on Triller TV (for specific countries, or whatever) or anything like that. I'm baffled. Also, there's also MAX in our household at the moment. There's no AEW in sight. That of course can be a Europe thing, but these kinds of things really irk me, especially since WWE and NXT are showing up on Netflix just fine.

This sucks even more now that for once, there's a good match on tap at an AEW PPV, in Ospreay vs Hangman! I was totally ready to pay for that particular view. The lack of information is the worst part. That is not on AEW, obviously, but on Triller TV or Fite, specifically.

[Niners Fan in CT]

Can you order it on Amazon or YouTube?  I've been ordering PPVs on YouTube mostly 

[Curt McGirt]

Briscoe seems pretty fluid in just feuding with any heel. You can just slot him in there.

[Shartnado]

I guess it pays to complain here, because Triller TV got around to putting the Double or Nothing up for purchase a second ago, nicely just a day after my triple Google points offer expired. But hey, I'm on board for this one, as well!

[AxB]

I think they were waiting for a British Wrestling Newz Aggregation website to report that it wouldn't be available on Triller (especially if said website would even speculate that AEW and Triller's relationship might be falling apart), so then they could put it up and make the Newz sites seem less credible.
