Watch: EXTENDED CUT: Countdown to AEW Double or Nothing 2023 FREE Pay-Per-View Preview Show

 

The stars of All Elite Wrestling take over Las Vegas this week as THIS SUNDAY NIGHT is AEW's biggest show of the year!! It's AEW Double or Nothing weekend! Watch the FREE pay-per-view countdown EXTENDED CUT! 

Double or Nothing is considered to be All Elite Wrestling's (AEW) marquee event, having first been held in 2019, which was AEW's first ever event and first ever pay-per -view produced. It is held annually during the Memorial Day weekend and is one of AEW's "Big Four" pay-per-views, which also includes ALL OUT, Full Gear and Revolution, their four biggest shows produced quarterly. The events name is in reference to its Las Vegas theme and the show has traditionally been held in the Las Vegas area in Paradise, Nevada. Exceptions to this occurred in 2020 and 2021 due to the global COVID-19 pandemic which put restrictions on where pro-wrestling promotions could hold events.

On March 5th, 2023, during the AEW Revolution 2023 Zero Hour pre-show, it was announced that the fifth Double or Nothing event would be taking place on May 28th at the T-Mobile Arena, marking the second Double or Nothing held here, after the previous year's event was held there. It also was announced that during Double or Nothing week, both AEW Dynamite and AEW Rampage would air LIVE episodes from the nearby MGM Grand Garden Arena - the location of the inaugural Double or Nothing - on May 24th and May 26th, respectively. However, due to a TNT broadcast scheduling conflict, Rampage will instead air on tape delay as a special Saturday Night Rampage on May 27th, with the event being taped immediately after the live broadcast of Dynamite. Tickets went on sale for all the events on March 17th.
