Mick Foley and Renee Paquette then return to the ring and Foley reveals that he thinks Darby Allin will walk out of Double or Nothing as AEW World Champion. An irate MJF then storms out to the ring to make it clear that he doesn’t care what Foley has to say and takes several shots at him, then says Foley is an underdog like Allin is. He then says underdogs lose when their backs are against the wall, but Foley asks MJF to let him take in his moment because he never thought he would feel the way that he does right now in the ring again in his life.
Foley then says he lost a lot of matches, but Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson might recall a couple of those matches he won. He then says he never had a match that ended in 2 minutes and 15 seconds like MJF did when he lost the AEW World Championship to Allin and there are shades of himself in Allin, but Allin is still younger. He then says Allin will take both the AEW World Championship and MJF’s hair from him and he never noticed MJF had wavy hair until now and it’s going to wave goodbye tonight.
MJF then low blows Foley, but Allin runs out to the ring and forces MJF to back down. Foley then tells Allin that Jon Moxley told him to watch a match that Allin took part in and he’s watched Allin succeed. He then says it felt like himself succeeding because Allin was shy and never picked for stardom. He then tells Allin to win tonight for the weird people and those who were told that they can’t do it. Foley then ends the segment with a “Bang, Bang” for Allin.
Commentary then runs through the lineup for the PPV and a Double or Nothing video package is shown as the AEW Double Or Nothing Buy In Pre-Show comes to a close.
AEW Double Or Nothing Results (5/24/2026): Live Match Updates and Highlights
AEW Double Or Nothing opens up with some pyro as Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness welcome us with an electric crowd here inside Louis Armstrong Stadium before heading to ringside. We are then reminded this is an I Quit New York Street Fight and if Cage & Cope lose they can no longer wrestle as a tag team.
Cage & Cope make their way down to the ring for the first match of the PPV to a big pop and FTR follow.
AEW World Tag Team Championship I Quit New York Street Fight (If Cage & Cope lose, Then They Must Disband As A Team Forever): FTR (Cash Wheeler and Dax “The Axe” Harwood) (c) vs. Cage & Cope (Christian Cage and Adam Copeland)
The match starts off with all four men staring each other down before trading strikes and Cash Wheeler and Adam Copeland leave the ring as Dax Harwood goes after Christian Cage inside the ring. Cage then turns it around as he sends Harwood to the corner for some punches and takes a bite out of Harwood’s forehead. Outside, Copeland sends Wheeler into the barricade as he looks for a weapon under the ring. A bit of barbed wire gets pulled out, but Harwood grabs it as he wraps it around his arm, only for Cage to knock him back. He then leaves the ring for another bit of wire, wrapping it around the ropes before sending Harwood into it with a drop toe hold. He then calls for the referee to check, but Copeland is not having none of it as he hits a splash that drives Harwood back into it.
Belts then come into play now as Cage and Copeland start whipping FTR with the straps, setting Harwood up on the ropes before Wheeler manages to break it up. He then sends Cage out of the ring before grabbing a chair, slamming it on Cage’s left arm only to be knocked to the floor by Copeland with a ladder. Copeland then props the ladder against the barricade before hitting a vertical suplex, sending Harwood hard onto the ladder. Calls for “one more time” are then ignored by Copeland, but only so he can pull a table out from under the ring. He then sets it up before grabbing Wheeler, but Stokely holds him off long enough for Harwood to whip him. Copeland then goes after Harwood, sending him to the outside but Wheeler blindsides him with a chair. He then wraps it around the neck of Copeland as Harwoood goes to the timekeeper area, grabbing a toolbox.
He then brings it to the ring, but gets stopped by Cage. Cage then finds a pair of pliers among the tools and goes after the nose of Harwood, but Harwood refuses to quit. Cage then turns his attention to Wheeler, but this allows Harwood to beat him down with a chair. FTR then leave the ring to go after Copeland, with Harwood demanding the referee ask Copeland if he quits. Copeland says nothing and Wheeler pulls off the top of the announce desk as FTR set up for a spiked piledriver onto the desk. FTR then go back after Cage when they see him on the outside and they prop his arm up on the ring steps. Wheeler then grabs a cinder block, but misses hitting the arm of Cage. They then end up putting his arm in through the block before Harwood starts slamming the chair against it, trying to do extra damage to the arm of Cage. They then demand the referee ask Cage and Cage says, “I banged your mother.”
This then gets a chant going from the crowd as FTR try to do more damage to Cage in the ring, but Cage fends them off. But not for long as FTR go after his arms. They then have a referee check again and Cage says “Go f**k yourself” before taking out Wheeler with a Killswitch. Stokely can be seen undoing the top rope which comes completely undone, but Cage knocks him away before wrapping the rope around the throat of Harwood. Harwood then refuses to quit and Wheeler wraps barbed wire around Cage to no avail. Wheeler then grabs a crescent wrench, shouting that “this big p***y is gonna quit” but walks into a spear by Copeland instead. Copeland then grabs the nearby chair and nails shots after shots on the back of Harwood. The referee then checks on Harwood, who ends up stalling for time. Wheeler then offers to say it, but only gets to “I” before Stokely blindsides Copeland with a shot to the head using a watch.
This then turns out badly for Stokely as Beth Copeland makes her way out to a big pop and she goes after Stokely until Harwood manages to intervene. Harwood then grabs a bottle of lighter fluid from under the ring, coating the table with it as Stokely holds Beth up on the apron. Harwood then uses a lighter and sets the table aflame as Wheeler goes for a spear on Beth, who pulls Stokely into the line of fire, forcing Stokely and Wheeler to go through the flaming table instead. Harwood then sees his opportunity as he slides back into the ring and sets Copeland’s head on a chair. He then grabs another chair and tells Copeland if he wants to see his two daughters tomorrow he’d better say “I Quit” only for Beth to low blow him from behind.
This then allows Cage to do the same and Copeland hits a piledriver on Harwood. Cage then locks in a Sharpshooter on Harwood, who refuses to quit. Copeland then locks in a crossface, but Harwood still won’t give up. Copeland then calls for Beth to grab something from near the ring and she pulls out the spiked board and gives it to Copeland. Harwood has finally had enough and he shouts “I QUIT” to bring this match to an end.
The winners of the I Quit New York Street Fight and new AEW World Tag Team Champions, Cage & Cope (Christian Cage and Adam Copeland)!
After the match, Christian Cage and Adam Copeland celebrate as we see Cage also get his watch back from Stokely in the process. Copeland then embraces his wife Beth as FTR regroup with Stokely on the ramp.
We then get a video package looking at the issues between Konosuke Takeshita and Kazuchika Okada as it has come to a boiling point and they will face off with the International Championship on the line next at Double Or Nothing.
Konosuke Takeshita then makes his way down to the ring for the next match of the PPV and Kazuchika Okada follows.
AEW International Championship Match: Don Callis Family’s “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. Don Callis Family’s NJPW World Television Champion “The Alpha” Konosuke Takeshita
The match starts off with both men staring each other down before they trade strikes. Okada then cinches in a side headlock, but Takeshita sends him to the ropes and blocks a shoulder tackle. Okada then blocks one from Takeshita and they go back and forth before Okada goes for a Rainmaker, but to no avail. This then ends with a faceoff as the crowd erupts in an AEW chant followed by a “F**k Don Callis” chant as both men trade strikes once more. Takeshita then hits a pump kick as he hits the ropes and he follows it up with a clothesline on Okada to take Okada off his feet. Okada then scrambles to the corner, only for Takeshita to intercept him. Okada then turns this around and he hits a dropkick forcing Takeshita to the the floor outside.
Okada then sends Takeshita into the barricade, the ring post and the barricade again and Okada continues the attack. The referee is counting as Okada sends Takeshita into the guardrail and finally brings Takeshita back into the ring at the count of six. Okada then slides into the ring as well, bringing Takeshita to his feet for a neckbreaker. He then puts a boot on Takeshita’s chest for the cover and Takeshita kicks out. Okada then hits another neckbreaker and he goes for a cover, forcing Takeshita to kick out and head to the ropes. Takeshita is back up as both men trade strikes once more. Okada then takes control, heading to the ropes only to be cut off by Takeshita for not one but two exploders. Takeshita is now in control as he brings Okada to the corner, climbing up the rope and a distraction from the crowd allows Okada to fight back for just a moment, but Takeshita ends up sending Okada to the outside.
Takeshita then hits the ropes for speed and he hits a tope onto Okada, bringing him back into the ring as he goes to the corner for a running knee. Okada then blocks it, setting Takeshita up for a seated neckbreaker. He then hits a scoop slam and Okada goes up top for an elbow drop. Okada is now back up to his feet, looking to the crowd before telling them how he feels about them. Okada then directs his gesture toward Takeshita, bringing him to his feet for a Rainmaker but Takeshita counters out. He then hits the ropes, but Okada goes for a tombstone piledriver. Takeshita then counters it into one of his own followed by a wheelbarrow deadlift suplex sending Okada crashing into the mat. Takeshita then charges at him, but Okada ducks and hits a discus lariat sending Takeshita down hard.
The fight then spills to the apron, where both men trade strikes back and forth. Takeshita then looks for a piledriver but Okada breaks free, hitting a Rainmaker that sends Takeshita crashing to the floor instead. Okada then leaves the ring, setting Takeshita up for a DDT to the floor. He then goes for a tombstone piledriver on Takeshita, but Don Callis intervenes telling Okada that he’s gonna break his neck. Okada then relents and goes back in the ring, but this allows Takeshita to fight back and he brings Okada back to the outside for a brainbuster to the floor. Callis is beside himself as he yells at Takeshita, who tells Callis off before bringing Okada back into the ring. Takeshita then hits an avalanche German suplex with a bridge, but Okada kicks out. Okada then fights back, dropping Takeshita to the mat with a tombstone piledrive and going for a cover, but only gets a two count. Both men then slowly get back to their feet before trading strikes once again.
Takeshita then looks wobbly at one stage, but fires himself up as both men go at it again and Takeshita eventually dodges a Rainmaker fora Blue Thunder Bomb. A Power Drive Knee then gets countered into a modified Emerald Flowsion by Okada and a near fall leads to Takeshita fighting back before being laid out with a Rainmaker by Okada. Okada then holds on to the wrist, bringing Takeshita back to his feet and to the ropes for a dropkick. He then goes for another Rainmaker, but Takeshita counters with one of his own. He then fires up as he hits a Power Drive Knee and goes for the cover, but Okada kicks out at one. Takeshita then fends him off one more time, firing back with shots before hitting a Raging Fire for the win.
The winner and new AEW International Champion, Don Callis Family’s NJPW World Television Champion “The Alpha” Konosuke Takeshita!
After the match, Takeshita celebrates his win in the corner with the title as the rest of the Don Callis Family make their way to ringside. Okada then makes it to his feet as the Don Callis Family enters the ring and Takeshita is looking for a handshake from Okada. Instead, it looks like things may blow up within the Family when Kyle Fletcher’s music hits to a huge pop.
Fletcher then makes his way out, suited up only to take his blazer off as he makes a beeline for the ring. He then steps through the ropes, staring down Takeshita and Okada with Okada leaving the ring at the behest of Don Callis and the rest of his Family following suit. This then leaves us with Fletcher and Takeshita in the ring and the two end up hugging it out to a pop from the crowd. Takeshita’s music then hits as Fletcher presents him with the title he has just won, only to blindside him instead. The crowd then boos, calling Fletcher an “a**hole” as he looks up on Takeshita with a smirk. He then brings Takeshita to his feet and we hear him tell Takeshita “you knew this was coming” before sending him to the canvas with a sheer drop brainbuster.
The Don Callis Family then slides back into the ring as Fletcher grabs the title. Okada then starts to take it from Fletcher’s hand, which leads to an awkward faceoff before Okada offers to let Fletcher take out Takeshita with the belt as Mark Davis and Lance Archer hold Takeshita up for it. With that, Fletcher’s music hits as he and the rest of the Don Callis Family leave and head up the ramp.
Commentary then hype up the Owen Hart Tournament and we get a video package focused on the first of those matches as Mina Shirakawa takes on Athena up next.
Back at ringside, Mina Shirakawa makes her way down to the ring for the next match of the PPV to a nice reaction from the crowd. Athena then makes her way down to the ring next.
Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Quarterfinals Match: ROH Women’s World Champion “The Fallen Goddess” Athena vs. Mina Shirakawa
The match starts off with both women locking up before Athena forces Shirakawa to the corner. Shirakawa then fights back, but a shimmy allows Athena to get back in control. This then ends up bringing the action to the outside, where Athena sends Shirakawa into the ring steps only for Athena to nearly collide with the steps herself on a knee strike attempt. Athena then ends back in control when she sends Shirakawa into the LED barricade with a dropkick, cutting the graphics off as she brings Shirakawa back into the ring. Shirakawa then turns it around, going after the leg of Athena until Athena breaks free. Athena then gets sent to the corner, where Shirakawa continues to go after the leg with a few stomps for good measure.
Shirakawa then plays to the crowd and this allows Athena to turn things around with a fall away slam for a two count. She then brings Shirakawa to her feet and to the ropes, only to be taken down with a spinning kick by Shirakawa. Shirakawa then grabs the head of Athena for a tornado DDT, but is pulled away from the ropes the first time. She then hits it on the second go and Athena ends up rolling to the outside, where Shirakawa catches her with a torneo that sends Athena to the floor. She then brings Athena back into the ring, going up top for a missile dropkick before Athena heads to the ropes. Shirakawa then grabs her from behind, hoisting her up before dropping Athena on her knee to the mat. She then goes for a figure four leg lock, but Athena counters out and hits a Super Dragon style curb stomp on Shirakawa instead.
Athena then heads to the turnbuckle, but gets caught on an O Face attempt. Shirakawa then gets a cradle for a two count and she hits the ropes for a DDT and gets a seatbelt cover for another near fall. Athena then makes it to her feet as she and Shirakawa trade strikes, with Shirakawa hitting a Hurriken to lay out Athena. Figure Four leg lock is now in place as Athena struggles, eventually making it to the ropes for a break. Shirakawa then breaks the hold but also pulls Athena away from the ropes, but Athena counters out of a Glamorous DDT for a jumping tombstone piledriver. Shirakawa is down as Athena climbs the turnbuckle, hitting an O Face for the win to advance in the tournament.
The winner of the Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Quarterfinals Match, ROH Women’s World Champion “The Fallen Goddess” Athena!
After the match, we get an updated bracket as Athena leaves the ring to celebrate with her title while standing next to the trophy.
We then get a video package looking at Jon Moxley looking to prove he’s not the same man he was six months ago when he defends the AEW Continental Championship against Kyle O’Reilly next at Double Or Nothing.
We then see The Conglomeration standing backstage, wishing Kyle O’Reilly all the best as he makes his way down to the ring for the next match of the PPV. He then enters the ring to a big pop as Jon Moxley makes his way down to the ring through the crowd and we get some words from Renee about O’Reilly’s return leading up to this match as Moxley heads to the ring to get this match underway.
AEW Continental Championship No Time Limit Match: The Death Riders’ Jon Moxley (c) vs. The Conglomeration’s AEW World Trios Champion Kyle O’Reilly
The match starts off with Moxley looks to square up with O’Reilly, but he dodges a kick before they lockup. We then get an exchange of holds and it ends with O’Reilly being sent to the mat, but he’s back to his feet. A knuckle lock then leads to a kick from O’Reilly that forces Moxley to retreat as we get dueling chants for both men. Moxley is now in control with a wristlock until O’Reilly counters for a snapmare and a spinal tap. This then riles Moxley up enough to respond in kind, sending O’Reilly to the mat with the same. O’Reilly is now back on his feet as both men go at it, with Moxley being brought to the mat. Moxley then starts to fight back before he is sent to the corner by O’Reilly, who follows it up with a standing guillotine. Moxley then finds a way to break free, dropping O’Reilly to the canvas before hitting some shots on O’Reilly.
O’Reilly then turns it around for a cross arm breaker, but Moxley breaks free to escape the ring to the outside. O’Reilly then follows him, hitting a few more shots before sending Moxley face first into the ring steps for extra damage. Moxley then flips O’Reilly off, but O’Reilly responds with a few more kicks until Moxley evades the last of them, which sends O’Reilly’s boot into the ring post. The referee has been lenient on his count up to this point, finally starting after Moxley slides into the ring. Moxley then leaves the ring to break this count, going after O’Reilly before bringing O’Reilly back into the ring. O’Reilly is struggling and falls to the mat when his leg gives way and this gives Moxley an opening as he goes after the injured leg.
He then brings O’Reilly back up just long enough for a dragon screw leg whip, mocking O’Reilly before sending him to the corner. The referee then starts a count before calling for a break and Moxley obliges just long enough to go back after the leg. He then hits a running dropkick on the injured leg as the referee calls for him to bring O’Reilly out of the corner and Moxley does so by sending O’Reilly to the mat with another dragon screw. He then locks in a submission with a focus on the injured leg until O’Reilly gets to the ropes, but instead of breaking the hold he starts digging his fingers into the back of O’Reilly before taking a bite out of his head. He then finally breaks the hold, which gives O’Reilly an opening to turn things around, hitting some kicks with his good leg before going for a standing guillotine.
He then breaks the hold in favor of more kicks, but Moxley gets an opening of his own as he brings O’Reilly to the corner, going after his head before the referee forces a break. Moxley gets caught in an cross arm breaker by O’Reilly, trying his best to break free before finding a counter in a half crab on the injured leg. O’Reilly then crawls toward the ropes before Moxley starts tweaking the leg some more, only for O’Reilly to finally reach the ropes for a break. Moxley then hits a kick, but gets caught in a cross arm breaker by O’Reilly, who rolls through to transition it into an ankle lock. Moxley then turns over to kick away at O’Reilly, but O’Reilly turns him back over to cinch the hold in tight. O’Reilly then finally lets the hold go, but only so he can stomp the Achilles of Moxley and hit a kick that sends him to the outside.
Moxley then tries to fire himself back up before sliding back into the ring, where he gets caught with a stomp by O’Reilly. Moxley then finds himself able to turn it back around as he hits a cutter on O’Reilly and both men slowly get back up to break a standing count by the referee. O’Reilly’s in the corner as Moxley hits a boot before O’Reilly gets sent to the ropes, where he fires back with a lariat, only for Moxley to do the same as they double down. Both men then slowly make their way back up, trading strikes on the way. Moxley then gets sent to the ropes with a punch but he gets back to his feet, hitting a right hand on O’Reilly before hitting a lariat. Death Rider then hits and Moxley goes for a rear naked choke, only for O’Reilly to roll through, breaking free to cinch in the ankle lock.
Moxley then finds the injured leg to go for an ankle lock of his own, with O’Reilly going for a pin to force a break but now it’s Moxley who’s got an ankle lock cinched in. Grapevine is then applied as O’Reilly can’t find a way to the ropes for the break and no way to escape the hold and he taps out.
The winner of the No Time Limit Match and still the AEW Continental Champion, The Death Riders’ Jon Moxley!
After the match, The Death Riders make their way out to ringside and The Conglomeration runs down to even the numbers.

This then gets a big pop from the crowd and that riles up MJF and he relays a message to Justin Roberts. MJF’s intro now states he “doesn’t come from any of the five bulls–t boroughs, but from a mansion that none of you can afford.” The intro for Allin then notes that he climbed Mount Everest and he is “bats–t crazy.” This then gets a big pop as well and we get this main event underway.
AEW World Championship Title vs. Hair Match: Darby Allin (c) vs. MJF
The match starts off with Allin hitting MJF with a side headlock takeover for two and he gets a second one for a near fall. This early advantage then goes away as MJF turns it back around on Allin as he sends him into the barricade on a dive attempt before hitting a powerbomb on the apron. MJF then hits Allin with a Heatseeker back in the ring for a two count of his own. He then follows it up with a powerbomb into a backbreaker, but this only gets a near fall. Allin then starts to fight back now, cutting MJF off in the corner as he goes for a sleeper hold on the turnbuckle only for MJF to send him crashing into the canvas. Allin is back up as is MJF and they trade strikes until MJF is dropped down hard.
Allin then goes for a Coffin Drop, but MJF rolls to the outside for safety only for Allin to hit a dive through the ropes sending him to the announce desk. Allin then steps onto the table before dropping down, bringing MJF toward the ring to set him up on the apron. Some clubbing blows from Allin now and he goes up top for a guillotine Coffin Drop only for MJF to evade at the last second, causing Allin to collide with the hardest part of the ring before falling to the floor. MJF then pulls the ring steps away, setting Allin up against the apron for the maximum platform possible before setting Allin up for a package piledriver onto the side. Allin then falls to the floor and the referee checks on him as MJF is laying on the floor trying to recover as well.
He then finally gets to his feet, bringing Allin back into the ring. He then calls for a side headlock takeover, only for Allin to send him to the ropes. With the referee distracted, Allin hits a low blow as revenge for what MJF did to Mick Foley during the Buy In, but a side headlock takeover of his own only gets a two count. He then sends Allin to the corner, with MJF trying to fight back before Allin sets him up for a Scorpion Deathlock. MJF then struggles for a bit, managing to get to the ropes. Allin then breaks the hold to go up top, but a Coffin Drop lands Allin onto the knees of MJF.
Both men are down with MJF getting to his feet first and Allin gets sent to the ropes, only to hit MJF with a Scorpion Death Drop driving MJF into the canvas. Allin then crawls to the ropes to get himself back up and he climbs the turnbuckle before dropping down. MJF then catches him with a side headlock takeover and this leads to an exchange of near falls. Allin then hits a sunset flip for two and we go back and forth for near falls. Roll through by Allin gets a two and MJF counters with a backslide for one. Allin then ends up hitting a Code Red for the most definitive of near falls as both men finally break free of each other’s grip in the process.
They are slow to get back up but manage to, only for MJF to be sent to the outside by Allin. Allin then goes for a dive through the ropes, only for MJF to pull a camera operator into the line of fire. The referee then checks on the cameraman as medics come down to aid him and the referee finally begins the count before MJF decides to go back after Allin. He then hoists Allin up, bringing him to the barber chair on the stage. He then grabs the clippers and the referee tells him to bring Allin back into the ring and this gives Allin an opening as he cinches in a front guillotine on MJF. He then finally lets go when MJF seems knocked out and he puts MJFF onto the barber’s table before glancing at the scaffolding on the stage.
This then gives Allin a crazy, possibly awful idea as he wears MJF down before climbing up the scaffolding. He then gets to the top, lining up his trajectory with a “Bang Bang” out of respect for Cactus Jack before leaping off for a Coffin Drop that sends MJF through the table. Allin is bleeding, seemingly cut by something on the way down as he drags MJF down the ramp and into the ring. Allin then falls backward for a moment but recovers, climbing up top for a Coffin Drop but MJF kicks out at two to save his hair.
He is struggling to get back up however and this allows Allin to cinch in a Scorpion Deathlock before he drops to the mat, breaking the hold from what seems to be passing out. MJF then starts to get back in control before taking a Scorpion Death Drop by Allin. Allin then goes up top for a Coffin Drop, but gets intercepted on the turnbuckle by MJF who counters into an avalanche tombstone piledriver. He then follows it up with a side headlock takeover, sticking it to his rival for the win.
The winner of the Title vs. Hair Match and new AEW World Champion, MJF!
After the match, MJF is presented with the title and he celebrates in the corner as medics tend to Allin. They then get him on a stretcher, but MJF won’t let him get away before standing over him with the title held high. Kevin Knight then comes running down to fend him off, forcing MJF to retreat to the outside. Kevin Knight then goes up top to give out to MJF before leaping off for a UFO Splash onto Allin, sending him crashing to the floor while still attached to the stretcher. The crowd is stunned, first into silence and then into boos as Knight stares Allin down. MJF is also shocked for a moment before applauding Knight’s apparent change in attitude, with medics helping Allin back onto the stretcher as the Double Or Nothing PPV comes to a close.
