One of the most impressive things to me about Double Or Nothing was how inclusive the show was. And I'm not just talking about its use of performers of so many varying backgrounds, since there was representation of all races, genders and sexual orientations. More so I am referring to its usage of talent from various generations.

Showing the range of the age spectrum for Double Or Nothing, MJF — who I interviewed last year for Sportskeeda — is in his early 20s. In the same match were Billy Gunn and Glacier, whose ages need not be mentioned, aside from saying that they were both involved wrestling during the Monday Night Wars. In other matches, you had Awesome Kong wrestling against Kylie Rae and Aja Kong in a match alongside 21-year-old Riho.
As noted earlier, both DDP and Bret Hart — WWE Hall Of Famers in their 60s — both made non-wrestling appearances within Double Or Nothing. This all helps paint AEW as a place where not only talent of all ages and abilities can work, but also a company that fans of all ages can watch and support.
