What could be in store for us this Sunday?

We are just a few days away from AEW's marquee event, Double or Nothing, which is set to take place this Sunday on May 30th, 2021. With ten matches confirmed for the show, it will certainly be a must-see event.

It goes without saying that the outcome of this Sunday's event could drastically change the landscape of AEW. Fans can expect AEW to deliver a collective display of drama, shocking moments, emotions, celebrations and most importantly entertainment on May 30th.

On top of that, the arena will be jam-packed with fans, which makes the pay-per-view even more special. The question remains who will be the star of the third edition of Double or Nothing.

So let's take a look at five bold predictions for Double or Nothing event this Sunday.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE


#5 Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston dethrone the Young Bucks to become the new AEW Tag team champions

At Double or Nothing 2021, the Young Bucks will defend their AEW Tag Team championship against the duo of Eddie Kingston and Jon Moxley.

Nick and Matt Jackson have held their AEW Tag titles for over 200 days. There isn't a team that they haven't faced or destroyed. In fact, the Young Bucks forced an iconic team in SCU to split up just a few weeks ago.

There's also no denying that the momentum they gained during this title reign is immeasurable. However, they cannot stay as champions forever. Almost every team in the AEW tag team division has fallen short in front of the Young Bucks.

The AEW Tag team division is in dire need of a shake-up at the moment. That's where Moxley and Kingston come into the fold. A title change this Sunday would be a complete shocker since most people would be expecting the Young Bucks to beat Mox and Eddie Kingston.

However, Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston would be the right choice to carry the tag team division right now. Since both have been away from the AEW world title picture, this could be the filler time for them until they move back to the top.

The feud between them and the Young Bucks could continue after Double or Nothing, but this time Mox and Kingston will be the champions. This will add a new element to their feud moving forward.

#4 Miro retains his AEW TNT championship after going to war with Lance Archer

This Sunday at AEW Double or Nothing, Miro will defend his TNT championship against Lance Archer.

A few weeks ago, Miro kickstarted his reign by defeating Darby Allin to win his first TNT championship. During this week's edition of AEW Dynamite, Miro literally squashed Dante Martin.

By the looks of it, AEW is pretty high on him right now. However, Miro needs a big win to elevate his character. A win over Lance Archer this Sunday would cement his title reign as one of the best.

Regardless of the outcome, rest assured that these two behemoths will tear each other apart this Sunday. Lance Archer recently stated that his match with Miro will involve big maneuvers and even athleticism.

Lance Archer even got the upper hand over Miro this week during a mini brawl, which could possibly mean that Miro comes out on top and retains his title this Sunday.

We don't expect to see Miro lose his TNT title this early into his reign, but if somehow AEW pulls this shocker it could damage his career moving forward. So, come Sunday, you can expect to see The Best Man walk out of Double or Nothing still holding his TNT title aloft.

#3 Britt Baker ends Hikaru Shida's year-long title reign in AEW

Hikaru Shida will defend her AEW women's championship against Dr. Britt Baker in what is going to be the most intriguing matches this Sunday.

Hikaru Shida has absolutely carried the AEW women's division on her back for over a year, through the entire pandemic era. She has defended her title against all comers and worked her socks off to earn the feat of longest reigning Women's Champion in AEW history.

The company even honored her this week by presenting a new title to her. However, like they say 'all good things must come to an end'.

She faces the biggest challenge of her career so far in the form of Dr. Britt Baker, who quickly ascended to the top of the women's division.

We expect Britt Baker to become the new AEW women's champion this Sunday. Given her recent character work and matches, there's no better time like the present to put the title around her waist.

As unfortunate as it seems for Hikaru Shida to lose her title right after she's honored with a new belt, it makes sense to pull the trigger on Britt Baker this weekend and start the new era of D.M.D.

#2 AEW star Christian wins the Casino Battle Royale this Sunday

The 21-man AEW Casino Battle Royale will be a must-see match this Sunday. Regardless of who might be the mystery entrant, Christian Cage is the most suitable candidate at the moment to win Battle Royale this weekend.

AEW star Christian Cage made his historic return to professional wrestling earlier this year. Having him outlast 20 other men this Sunday could potentially send shock waves through the roster. The crowd will pop up from their seats to cheer for Captain Charisma.

Moreover, his recent confrontation with Kenny Omega was a sign that AEW could be heading towards this clash somewhere down the line.

Christian Cage could immediately kickstart his feud with Kenny Omega by once again confronting him during the main event of Double or Nothing.

The feud has 'money' written all over it and Christian Cage could even become the new AEW world champion. Christian as AEW world champion can provide some mouth-watering clashes down the line.

However, the momentum that is in favor of the reigning champion seems to be insurmountable at the moment. Kenny Omega seems destined to hold the title for a long time to come.

#1 The Good Brothers help Kenny Omega retain his AEW World title

The main event for AEW Double or Nothing will be Kenny Omega defending his AEW World championship against PAC and Orange Cassidy in a triple-threat match. The match has all the potential to steal the show this Sunday.

The feud has mostly been built around Kenny Omega and Orange Cassidy, while PAC has been portrayed as a third wheel in this storyline. He might even be in the match just to take the pinfall.

Meanwhile, Freshly Squeezed gained some much-needed momentum during this week's AEW Dynamite, as he laid out both Kenny Omega and PAC. Surprisingly, he has been booked as a legitimate threat to Kenny Omega's title.

But the triple-threat rule will favor Omega. His ally, the Good Brothers, will definitely interfere during the main event this Sunday to make sure Kenny Omega retains his title. So expect Kenny Omega to walk out victorious this Sunday.

The fact that he is holding three major titles at the moment is testament to the trust the promotions have put in him.
