Tonight, the main event of Double or Nothing will be decided.  As MJF and Sammy Guevara, will face Darby Allin and "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry.

If MJF and Sammy win, then the main event of Double or Nothing will just these two fighting for the World's Title.

But if Darby and Jack win, then the World's Title match at Double or Nothing, will feature all four men in a "Four Pillars" match.

Hey, it's the battle of the singalong entrances!

was hoping for a Simpsons riff just now

All right, Darby, you don't like me and I don't like you but tonight if we work together we can secure our spots in the World title match

Jack, I like you!

Ooh, Danielson's picking a fight with the Hitman.

And Omega vs. Mox in the cage next week!  Better get the mobile blood unit on standby in Detroit for that one.

SHIDA JUST JOINED THE OUTCASTS!!!

Or not!  All a ruse.

did Excalibur just say Shida just betrayed the Outcasts b/c she was bitter and held a grudge over not being picked to join their stable back in the day (when they were faces)?

Alignment confusion

is Don Callis now Herr Starr from Preacher and his new gimmick will be trying to cover up his scar? (At least in Callis' case the scar doesn't make his head look like a giant penis)

I know it's pretty standard wrestling logic but

 - Ref when face tag team guy tries to get in the ring to help his partner who is the victim of cheating: NO NO GET OUT OF THE RING I AM NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT IS HAPPENING BEHIND ME TIL YOU GET BACK TO YOUR CORNER

 - Ref when the heels are both in the ring at the same time, preventing the beaten-up face from tagging his partner: sure everything about this is fine i guess

the rough thing about that is that the so-called pin stealing could actually be an effective tag team strategy

it's the five or ten seconds both men can legally be in the ring at the same time. i hit the finisher, you handle the pin while i play defense to prevent the fourth guy from breaking up the cover. if i do the move and the pinfall you are not allowed to be in the ring to watch out

Well looks like MJF's plan for a night off blew up in his face. Granted, I think it was a horrible idea to begin with - especially since I could see the match playing out like the finish of Bruno with both guys just making out in the ring to a chorus of boos. That has to be the end of him and Sammy right? If so, it's going to be really tough for MJF. I'd have to imagine his plan is to powder off early and try to steal it late but I wonder if there's a back-up? Surely he needs an equaliser, but who? Also even if MJF walks away with the title, I get the feeling his next opponent will be staring him right in the face.

Tough assignment for Sammy, Darby and Jungle Boy. All three have to be thinking anyone but MJF, anything less will reflect poorly on them.

Thought all four men did a good job of putting their best foot forward in that tag match. I still think of the four, MJF clearly is a cut above, but no doubt the other three have that reckless abandon about them. In a four-way match, it's going to be a nightmare to defend against.

I'll be honest, if there was Yellowstone type show based on the Briscoe farm, I'd watch it. That was a fun segment and I've been pretty down on Team TNA since their inception.

Britt and Hayter don't deserve Shida! What an angel, so glad to see she's back and I hope she never leaves. Now just give me Goldberg, and all will be right in AEW.

Didn’t watch the show last night but looks like I didn’t miss much. Main event looked good and I’m excited for the fourway now. Should be a wild one.

I like the Open House challenge laid down by HOB. That should result in some fun matches.

I saw the chicken farm segment. Wrestling has peaked. All downhill from there.

This was an off week. Was a good week in terms of wrestling, but the matches were mostly low impact ones.

That chicken farm segment was hilarious. As was Britt attacking Jericho backstage.

If you missed it catch the House of Black trios promo. New rules for the trios title while House holds them.

And for those who missed it.  Papa Brisceo debuting is hilarious.

Looks like a lot of people skipped out on it last night. 776k, which is the undisputed champion of lowest rating since NXT moved to Tuesdays. Dang.

The build to DON has been ass. Honestly I feel like people are just like “ok get on with it,” at this point.

All the hype lately has been trying to sellout Wembley and Forbidden Door, which is understandable, but it feels like the PPV that is literally weeks away, has taken a backseat. Which is a shame because it should be a decent show.

I may have misspoke about lowest rating. There may have been one from last year slightly lower.

I suspect the ratings are entirely based on the cards being given out ahead of the show.  Can look quick and decide whether or to just skip.  This week looked like crap so I skipped and just youtubed the stuff I wanted to see.  Next week looks great so I will watch.

It should take a backseat.  The arena and Forbidden Door are considered to be bigger than a normal PPV.  But we should have like matches being built up for the PPV besides just the main event.  Likely the PPV will come together last minute and be great, but like there is no reason not build shit on the shows.  It is sloppy booking.

Put it down to the NBA play-offs and a weak card in general. AEW also announced ahead of time that Omega/Moxley in a Cage would take place next week giving fans the permission to tune out.

The NBA game was a blowout.

Even so, I could see fans treating this like an off-season as they focus more on the post-season. WCW traditionally struggled during this era for similar reasons.

Sammy, you had 1 job! HAHA!
