“Double or Nothing” will take place on Saturday, May 25 from the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Editor’s Opinion:
If this show does as well as I think it will, WWE could have some serious competition on its hands for the first time in almost 20 years. And that will only make the product better fo all of the fans.
