For the first time ever, AEW Double or Nothing was LIVE from New York on HBO Max pay-per-view! A sold-out crowd was red hot all night for an event that still has the concrete jungle buzzing! MJF disappointed a lot of people by ending the unforgettable reign of Darby Allin to become a three-time AEW World Champion in a fantastic main event. When MJF tried to pose over Allin on a stretcher after the match, TNT Champion “The Jet” Kevin Knight hit the ring to stop the unnecessary celebration. However, Knight shocked everyone when he hit Allin with a UFO Splash while Allin was still strapped to the stretcher! Knight flipped the stretcher over and watched as Allin was tended to with Double or Nothing coming to a close. It was a night full of new champions in AEW. Christian Cage & Adam Copeland beat FTR to become the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions and save their tag team career! “The Alpha” Konosuke Takeshita beat “The Rainmaker” Kazuchika Okada in a match that lived up to the hype. However, it was somewhat overshadowed by the return of Kyle Fletcher, who lured Takeshita into an attack! Jon Moxley finally beat Kyle O’Reilly to retain the AEW Continental Championship. And in quarterfinal action of the Owen Hart Foundation Men’s Tournament, Will Ospreay beat Samoa Joe, while Swerve Strickland defeated ROH World Champion Bandido. On the women’s side, ROH Women’s World Champion Athena turned away a very game Mina Shirakawa to advance to the semifinals.

Darby Allin (c) Mick Foley Makes His AEW Debut! Before we got underway with our first match on the Buy In, Renee Paquette opened things up in the ring and welcomed the hardcore legend, Mick Foley, to AEW for the first time! The New York crowd gave Foley a massive ovation, and he said, “Without hyperbole, this is one of the biggest nights of his life!” Paquette and Foley turned it over to the announce team for our opening contest of the Buy In. AEW Double or Nothing Buy In – AEW Women's World Tag Team Championship 5-Minute Eliminator: Divine Dominion ("Megasus" Megan Bayne & "Colossal" Lena Kross) def. Zayda Steel & Viva Van Steel and Van entered with Christopher Daniels, but before Divine Dominion made their way to the ring, we heard them demand that everyone bow down to their dominance. Steel and Bayne began this challenge, and Steel quickly went to the floor and yelled at Bayne that she had five minutes. Bayne was annoyed as Steel took a lap around the ring before getting back in with Bayne. Bayne blocked a DDT, so Steel tried to roll her up, but Bayne didn’t move! She went for a stomp, so Steel rolled to the outside again. Bayne went after her, so Steel rolled back in and tagged Van. Bayne re-entered the ring, and Van came off the top with a spinning heel kick that stunned Bayne. She tried to roll up Bayne, who went down, but didn’t stay there for long. Van escaped the clutches of Bayne and sent Megasus over the top with a low bridge. Van missed a baseball slide to the outside and jumped back on the apron to drop Bayne across the top rope. Van jumped back to the floor and ate a massive thrust kick from Kross, who threw Van back into Bayne. Kross tagged in, but first, Bayne hit a barrage of shoulder thrusts into Van’s midsection before splashing her in the corner and throwing her back to the middle of the ring with a release German Suplex. Kross hit a diving clothesline on the seated Van for a two-count. She threw Van back to the champions’ corner and tagged Bayne, who clubbed Van over and over again before tagging Kross, who then did the same with back elbows. Van fought out of the corner with a few stunning shots to Kross, but Kross caught her in the middle of the ring. Van got free with an enzuigiri and tagged Steel. Steel sent Kross into the corner and connected with a rising knee with one minute left on the clock. A tornado DDT by Steel put Kross down for a two-count! Kross knocked Steel to the corner with a back heel kick and tagged Bayne. Kross nailed a pump kick out of one corner, and then Bayne hit one from the other. Kross and Bayne hit a double chokeslam on Steel to get the victory with just seconds left on the clock. After the match, Bayne wiped out Daniels, and Divine Dominion hit the double chokeslam on Van. Before they could do any more damage, TayJay hit the ring with a 2x4 and a pipe, so Divine Dominion escaped to the floor. Anna Jay and Tay Melo held the ring as Bayne and Kross held up their titles and left up the ramp. AEW Double or Nothing Buy In – Trios Match: Death Riders (Daniel Garcia, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta) def. The Opps (HOOK, Anthony Bowens & Katsuyori Shibata) Yuta and Bowens began for their respective sides, although the respect part may not exist between The Opps and the Death Riders. Bowens and Yuta wrestled on the mat until Yuta went for a couple of quick pin attempts that got a pair of two-counts. Bowens caught Yuta in a small package for a near-fall of his own. Bowens threw Yuta to the corner and lit him up with chops. He pulled Yuta out of the corner and continued to club him with a new level of intensity. HOOK tagged in, so Yuta tagged Garcia. Garcia put HOOK down with a knee strike and laid the boots to him, which seemed to stun HOOK. Garcia sent HOOK to the ropes, so HOOK pivoted and dropped Garcia with a heel trip. HOOK laid in a couple of stiff punches and threw Garcia across the ring with a double-underhook suplex. Shibata tagged in to a huge ovation, and Garcia squared off, but Shibata pointed to Castagnoli. Garcia wasn’t having it, so Shibata hit him with a few stiff forearms and threw him to Castagnoli, who finally tagged into the match. Shibata and Castagnoli immediately started exchanging strikes until Castagnoli overpowered Shibata into the corner and unleashed a flurry that pounded Shibata to the mat. Shibata followed Castagnoli to the opposite corner with a big boot and unleashed a flurry of his own on Castagnoli. Shibata came across the ring with a hesitation dropkick and followed with an underhook to go for a pin, but Castagnoli kicked out at two. HOOK tagged back in and lit up Castagnoli with body shots. Castagnoli blocked a throw and sent HOOK into the Death Riders’ corner. Garcia tagged in and mounted HOOK for punches, but stopped short of doing his old dance. HOOK got separation with a flying strike and tagged Shibata. He laid in a big kick to Garcia’s spine, but ran into a big boot from Garcia in the corner. Yuta entered with a double sledge to Shibata, only for Shibata to send Yuta to the corner with an atomic drop. He hammered Yuta to the mat and tried for another hesitation dropkick, but Castagnoli came in to cut him off with an uppercut. Garcia ran in to knock HOOK off the apron as Castagnoli did the same to Bowens. The Death Riders hit a triple big boot to Shibata and celebrated with their usual huddle. Garcia tagged in and stood on Shibata’s face. He chopped Shibata, who asked for another. Garcia did it again, and Shibata kept asking for more! They exchanged chops until Garcia went to the body to change things up. Garcia tried to take Shibata down with a pair of running forearms until Shibata stopped the third with a back heel trip. Shibata tried to tag Bowens, as Yuta made the tag on the other side. Yuta and Castagnoli took out Bowens and stomped HOOK. They threw him into the corner for a conveyor belt of strikes until Castagnoli covered HOOK for a near-fall. HOOK rolled off Castagnoli’s grip to try REDRUM, so Castagnoli ran him into the corner. Castagnoli missed a charge in the corner and tagged out to Garcia. HOOK threw Garcia over his head, so Yuta came in with a chop, and HOOK threw him, too! HOOK kept crawling and rolled under Yuta and Garcia to tag Bowens! Bowens unloaded on Yuta and Garcia as soon as he hit the ring. He put Garcia down with a neckbreaker and came over the top of Yuta with a leg lariat. Bowens lit up Castagnoli with a flurry of strikes and turned his attention to Yuta, who he ripped back into the ring with a twisting DDT! Castagnoli broke up the pin and dragged Yuta to the corner to make a tag. Bowens got Castagnoli in an armbar, so Garcia and Yuta came in to break it up. HOOK and Shibata grabbed Garcia and Yuta in rear chokes, which Castagnoli broke up with a double clothesline to the back. He dropped them with another double clothesline from the front. Bowens tried to fight off all three Death Riders and had some success until he ran into a pop-up facebuster by Castagnoli. The Death Riders pounced on Bowens with a barrage of strikes until Castagnoli put Bowens away with a diving uppercut for the pinfall. AEW Double or Nothing Buy In – The Conglomeration (Mark Briscoe and AEW World Trios Champions Orange Cassidy and Roderick Strong) & Boom & Doom (Big Boom AJ and QT Marshall) with The Rizzler, Big Justice, Harley Cameron and Vita Coco Man def. Shane Taylor Promotions (Shane Taylor, Lee Moriarty, Carlie Bravo, Shawn Dean and Anthony Ogogo) w/Christyan XO After a cavalcade of entrances, Marshall and Bravo started this 10-man tag with Marshall hitting a flying enzuigiri to Bravo before tagging AJ. He mounted Bravo and unloaded with punches in the corner. Marshall tagged back in and did the same. Strong tagged in and picked up the pace with his punches. Then, it was Briscoe’s turn, and he kept the heat on until Cassidy tagged in for one punch, which he celebrated accordingly. He went for the cover, but all of STP came in to break it up, so Cassidy’s team came in to back him up, and everyone fought to the floor. Bravo worked Cassidy to the STP corner, where Taylor and Dean unloaded on Cassidy. Dean tagged in, but not before Bravo hit one more big shot to knock Cassidy to the mat. Bravo called for BBC and connected! STP took the opportunity to pose together outside. Ogogo tagged in and immediately tagged Taylor. Ogogo sent Cassidy to the corner, but Cassidy stopped Taylor’s charge by putting his hands in his pockets. He ducked under Taylor and dropkicked Ogogo. Taylor and Cassidy both missed punches, so Taylor pushed Cassidy into a big body shot from Ogogo and then right into a knockout punch from Taylor! Marshall ran in just in time to make the save on the pin attempt. Moriarty tagged in, but Cassidy immediately got away from him with a Stundog Millionaire. Bravo ran in to stop Cassidy with a sunset flip, so Cassidy just removed Bravo’s hands and tagged AJ! He hit anything that moved and took everyone down until he ran into Taylor, who stopped AJ with a big punch. Taylor missed a splash in the corner, so AJ was able to clothesline him to the floor. Bravo walked right into a sitout spinebuster from AJ, but Bravo kicked out. AJ called for Marshall to go to the top, as he set up Bravo for a powerbomb, but a distraction by Moriarty allowed XO to crotch Marshall on the top turnbuckle. The Rizzler went to confront XO and STP, and he had Cameron to back him up. XO pushed Cameron, so Cameron took her down and lit her up with punches. In the ring, Briscoe tagged in and fought off Moriarty and Taylor. Moriarty blocked Briscoe’s lariat so that Taylor could crack Briscoe from behind. Strong came in with a flurry of strikes before using Cassidy as a weapon on Taylor and Moriarty. He hit a huge backbreaker to Moriarty and knocked Taylor from the ring with a leaping knee. Briscoe threw Ogogo over his head to the floor and set up a chair with much encouragement from the crowd. Briscoe ran up the chair and somersaulted onto Taylor, Ogogo and Moriarty on the floor! Back in the ring, AJ stopped Bravo and Dean from their attack on Marshall on the top turnbuckle by trying to powerbomb them both! Strong and Briscoe came over to assist, as The Rizzler and Big Justice threw Vita Coco in the faces of Bravo and Dean. Unfortunately, all that hydration caused Marshall to slip off the top rope to the floor! AJ, Briscoe and Strong still completed the triple powerbomb, and AJ covered Bravo for the victory! The winning team celebrated in the ring with Cameron, Rizzler, and Big Justice, but STP surrounded them until Eddie Kingston ran down swinging a broomstick wildly and was soon joined by Ortiz and Mance Warner, who’ve all had their issues with STP. The crowd went absolutely wild for Kingston, who gave the love right back to the fans so close to his hometown. MJF Confronts Mick Foley, but Darby Allin Makes the Save! After the match, Paquette and Foley broke down the AEW World Championship match in the ring, with Foley picking Darby Allin to remain AEW World Champion. We heard a voice yell “NO” over and over again, and MJF came storming down the ramp! MJF called Foley, “Mickie,” and wondered why we were supposed to care about the opinion of someone who always failed in big spots. The crowd booed that, so MJF took a shot at the New York Knicks
