In an episode of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Tommy Dreamer shared some thoughts on the anticipation created for the Anarchy in the Arena match at AEW Double or Nothing, suggesting it could have been a prolonged one.
Dreamer voiced his personal perspective on the matter, saying “Me personally, I would’ve continued [creating] more and more heat. I don’t think it’s time for faction warfare yet, but in the world of AEW things kind of happen a lot quicker. We saw, then, the babyfaces [were] revealed, so here we go – we’re off to the races. Maybe the tag titles are [on the line] and then, of course, interference causes [the Young Bucks] to retain,” Dreamer proceeded to offer his own creative spin. “Same with Okada, who doesn’t need anybody to interfere with him, [he could] retain. … They keep on interfering, and you bring it to this type of match. I would’ve liked a longer build of heat, but … if you’re giving me that type of match with those players, I’ll be satisfied with it.”
The Anarchy in the Arena showdown will spotlight The Elite, consisting of The Young Bucks, Kazuchika Okada, and Jack Perry, going against FTR, Bryan Danielson, and Eddie Kingston.
