10 out of 10 - Controlled Chaos, Beautiful Storytelling, and a Masterclass in Mayhem
AEW Double or Nothing 2023 delivered an unforgettable night that blended chaos, creativity, and raw emotion into one of the most explosive pay-per-views the company has ever put on. From top to bottom, the card was stacked, but let's not kid ourselves-Anarchy in the Arena 2 stole the show and cemented this event as a certified classic.
Anarchy in the Arena 2 - The Main Event Madness
The Elite vs. Blackpool Combat Club was everything you could want from a modern wrestling war. This wasn't just a match-it was a living, breathing fight that spilled into every crevice of the building. Exploding superkicks, brawls in the crowd, instruments getting smashed, and more blood than a horror movie premiere. The chemistry between these two factions was off the charts. Each spot had intention. Every movement, every moment, had weight.
The return of Hangman Page with the eye patch? Goosebumps. The nods to fractured friendships, unfinished business, and brutal resolve? Chilling. It was cinematic without being fake. Real without losing spectacle. It was the very definition of anarchy-and it was perfect.
The Rest of the Card - No Weak Links
Double or Nothing 2023 didn't lean on one match alone. The undercard was strong and well-paced, with solid title defenses, emotionally-charged bouts, and plenty of jaw-dropping moments. AEW's roster depth shined as each performer stepped up like they knew the world was watching-and they were.
Orange Cassidy once again proved why he's more than a gimmick. MJF continued his reign of compelling villainy. And the tag, women's, and trios divisions were all firing on full cylinders.
Legacy of the Night
This was AEW reminding everyone that it still knows how to put on a true spectacle. Double or Nothing 2023 wasn't just a great wrestling show-it was a cultural moment for diehard fans and newcomers alike. It showed that wrestling can be raw, intense, beautiful, chaotic, and still tell stories better than most Hollywood scripts.
Final Verdict: 10 out of 10
AEW delivered something special with Double or Nothing 2023. A night where violence had purpose, storytelling had layers, and passion bled out of every promo, kick, and chair shot. Anarchy in the Arena 2 may go down as one of the best brawls in modern wrestling history-and it was the perfect crown jewel of a legendary event.
This wasn't just a win for AEW. It was a declaration.
