We’re only a few days away from AEW’s highly anticipated Double Or Nothing pay-per-view, and originally Adam Page vs. PAC was one of the most talked about matches on the card.
However, PAC and Page recently faced off at an event in Nottingham, England and PAC revealed that he wouldn’t be coming to Double Or Nothing, or working with AEW. It was later reported that PAC vs. Page was pulled from the card due to creative differences.
Sean Waltman commented on the situation on his X-Pac 1,2,360 show and noted that he doesn’t think AEW will run into similar issues with other talents.
“That’s the potential problem with people not being exclusive. It shouldn’t be an issue. But okay I can understand Dragon Gate going ‘We don’t want you losing on everyone’s streaming service or TV show or pay-per-view if you’re our champion.’ Especially in the past, Japanese promotions have been like that. AEW shouldn’t have to book around some other promotion… I don’t think this is going to be an issue with other people.”
The WWE Hall of Famer went on to say that AEW likely had a finish in mind for the PAC vs. Adam Page match.
“When you’re booking a pay-per-view or TV match, well mainly a pay-per-view match, even long term, you don’t book the match without having the finish already. You don’t go like ‘Okay, this sounds like a great match on paper, lets book it’ and then throw it out there and not have already decided okay well ‘Who’s going over’ and ‘Are both parties down for that’ and getting that all out of the way. That’s how it works when it’s done right.”
