#2 Brian Cage is All Elite
Choosing to start AEW Double or Nothing with the ladder match was absolutely the right decision. Featuring terrifying dives, insane weapon shots, and spots that made you hurt just from watching through a TV, it was a fantastic way to start the night and get fans immediately invested in the PPV.
And what made it even better was the decision to have a huge debut right at the end. When the clock hit zero, I don't think many people could have predicted the behemoth that is Brian Cage, with Tazz at his side, to walk out the tunnel. At Double or Nothing, the Machine made quite an impression. From ripping a ladder in half during his entrance, to cleaning house for most of the match, to then emerging from a burial of weaponry before eventually going on to win the entire thing- Cage has staked his claim within AEW in a big way.
Going off last years huge event, Double or Nothing had a lot to live up to. With Brian Cage, a hugely talented and sought out talent, debuting right out the gate- they certainly lived up to the hype.
