A history making night may be in store next Sunday when AEW Double or Nothing emanates from the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
The fourth ever Anarchy in the Arena is set to take place with Swerve Strickland, Kenny Omega and The Opps teaming up to take on select members of The Death Riders and The Elite.
While AEW has not yet officially announced the competitors for the bout, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select has done some digging into what current plans are for the show.
"Fightful Select was told to expect Swerve Strickland, Willow Nightingale, Kenny Omega, Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs vs. Young Bucks, Jon Moxley, Gabe Kidd and Marina Shafir. It was noted that Katuyori Shibata and Claudio Castagnoli could be added to their respective sides as well."
This is a significant development. If this plan comes to fruition, Willow Nightingale and Marina Shafir would become the first women to ever participate in Anarchy in the Arena.
Futhermore, if Anarchy in the Arena closes the show, Willow and Marina would be the first two women to ever compete in a PPV main event in All Elite Wrestling history.
It's chaos at ringside!

As for the other talents who could be involved in the match, Sean Ross Sapp has reported that Kazuchika Okada is slated to defend his AEW Continental Championship against Speedball Mike Bailey at Double or Nothing.
HOOK and Wheeler Yuta have not specifically been factored into any plans, but there is nothing stopping them from getting involved.
