The AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view promises to be an incredible show from start to finish, with matches like Stadium Stampede expected to steal the show. That’s exactly why fans couldn’t be more excited for the event.
Title vs. Hair Match for AEW World Championship: Darby Allin (c) vs. MJF
Darby Allin finally climbed the mountain by defeating MJF to become AEW World Champion, but his reign might come to an end at Double or Nothing, where he’s set to defend the title against MJF in a Title vs. Hair mask. There’s obviously a lot at stake for both competitors, so it remains to be seen who will walk out as the champion in the end.
AEW Women’s World Championship: Thekla (c) vs. Kris Statlander vs. Jamie Hayter vs. Hikaru Shida
Thekla is set to defend the AEW Women’s World Championship against Kris statlander, Jamie Hayter and Hikaru Shida. Thekla has been a ruthless champion over the past few months, but she certainly has her work cut out for her. So we’ll have to wait and see if she’ll manage to survive in the end.
AEW International Championship: Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. Konosuke Takeshita
Kazuchika Okada defends his AEW International Championship against Konosuke Takeshita in what’s expected to be a Match of the Year contender. There have been a lot of issues between two over the past few months and it will all come to a head at Double or Nothing. So fans are waiting to see who’ll leave as the champion once and for all.
AEW World Tag Team Championship — “I Quit” Match: FTR (c) vs. Cage & Cope
FTR’s feud with Christian Cage and Adam Copeland has become deeply personal, and now it reaches its breaking point in an “I Quit” match. The stipulation raises the stakes even higher because if Cage & Cope lose, they can no longer compete together as a tag team. So we’ll have to see who will ultimately win when all is said and done.
Owen Hart Cup Quarterfinals
The Men’s Owen Hart Cup Quarterfinal will commence as Samoa Joe faces Will Ospreay and Bandido dukes it out with Swerve Strickland. On the women’s side, Athena squares off against Mina Shirakawa in what’s expected to be a solid match.
Stadium Stampede Match: Chris Jericho, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin and The Elite vs. Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona, Mark Davis, Andrade El Idolo, Clark Connors and David Finlay
AEW’s Stadium Stampede matches are always absolute insanity, and this year looks no different. With multiple factions involved in the match, there will likely be fights all over the stadium, dangerous stunts, weapons, and pure chaos.
Other Matches
Jon Moxley will defend the AEW Continental Championship against Kyle O’Reilly. In another match, the Death Riders face The Opps in the Zero Hour pre-show. Big Boom! A.J., Q.T.
