AEW Double Or Nothing 2026 Results, Winners And Highlights

Cope And Cage Def. FTR

A sold-out Flushing Meadows crowd sang along to Cope’s iconic entrance music in the first great moment of the night. Cope and Cage started out hot, with Cage standing on the back of Dax’s neck and Cope whooping the hell out of FTR with a belt. Fans chanted “who’s your daddy?” as Dax refused to quit.
FTR came roaring back as they pillmanized Cope’s neck with a chair and rammed him into the post. Dax grabbed a toolbox, but Cage absconded it and pulled out a pair of pliers. Cage squeezed Dax’s nose with the pliers, but Dax didn’t quit. Cage then squeezed Cash’s testicles with the pliers, but Dax made the . FTR hit a spike piledriver on a bloody Cope on the Spanish announce table. The table didn’t break, so it looked even worse as fans chanted “holy s—t!”

Cage speared Dax and strangled him with the unbuckled rope. Cash returned the favor on Cage. Cage grabbed a crescent wrench and vowed “this p—y is gonna quit!” Cash teased that he was going to quit, only for Stokely Carmichael to interfere. Out came Beth Phoenix to lay waste to Big Stoke. Dax then sent Beth face-first into the steel steps the second her music shut off.
There was a table on the outside, and Dax set it on fire. Cash went for a spear on Beth Phoenix, but she moved and Cash accidentally speared Stoke through the flaming table. Fans chanted “you deserve it.” Amazing spot.
Back in the ring, Dax threatened to hit a con-chair-to. “If you want to see your two daughters tomorrow, say you quit,” said Dax. Beth and Cage made the .

AEW Okada slowed the pace down with a series of stiff elbows. Takeshita tried a Raging Fire elbow drop, but Okada got his knees up. Takeshita recovered with a tope to the outside.

More “F Don Callis chants.” Flushing Meadows was furious. Takeshita answered with a brainbuster to Okada on the floor. Don Callis was apoplectic.
Okada and Takeshita went back-and-forth with fans fully behind Takeshita. Takeshita spanned the fighting spirit button, punching himself in the face, as he willed himself back into the match. The word “fighting spirit” was used more on this show than the amount of times Dave Meltzer says “um.”

Match Grade: B

Jon Moxley Def. Kyle O’Reilly

There was yet another pep talk before this match, this time from Mark Briscoe to Kyle O’Reilly. This after Sting’s pep talk to Darby Allin last month, Kevin Knight’s pep talk to Speedball Mike Bailey on Dynamite and Mick Foley’s pep talk to Darby Allin during the Buy In show. Moxley didn’t need a pep talk, just some stiff slaps from Marina Shafir.
There were dueling chants for Mox and O’Reilly. Jim Ross was on commentary for this match. Ross seemed to forget Kyle O’Reilly’s name early on, calling him “this kid” multiple times. The two engaged in submission wrestling before O’Reilly hit a running knee to the outside on Mox.
Back in the ring, O’Reilly tried multiple kicks, but was unable to get anything behind them because he couldn’t get any weight on his left left leg. Mox seized on the injured leg. The crowd, now tired, was pretty quiet to this point. As Mox mauled Kyle, fans did react when Moxley bit O’Reilly in the face.

The ground attack eventually devolved into a double ankle lock, where both Mox and O’Reilly had the hold locked in on one another. Fans rallied behind O’Reilly to get to the rope as Mox took control, but O’Reilly ultimately tapped out. “We’ve got a new champ!” said Jim Ross as Jon Moxley retained the AEW Continental Championship. God love Jim Ross.

Thekla dropped down from the scaffold a spider during her entrance. This was a hard-hitting match to start, but an uphill battle after ing the best match of the night to this point. Both Hayter and Statlander caught a diving Thekla, but Hikaru Shida hit a missile dropkick and the three women took a bump.
The field took turns rolling each other up. Statlander went for a dive, but Thekla hit a perfectly timed kick to the head to cut her off. Thekla was the smartest worker in this match as she picked her spots. One of the spots was a dive onto the three challengers on the outside.
Thekla trapped Hayter in a spider lock, but Jamie countered with a backbreaker. Hayter ed up with a Haterade clothesline, but the pin was broken up by Shida. Shida hit a Falcon Arrow and transitioned into an ankle lock. Hikaru hit Statlander with an “inadvertent” knee strike, and Statlander took exception to it. The two tag team partners devolved into hockey punches, and Statlander got the better of them.

Match Grade: B

Jericho, The Hurt Syndicate And The Young Bucks Win Stadium Stampede

The Demand wore baseball uniforms amid a pre-match video package where they rode in on a monster truck. The vignette was met with silence. The babyfaces received a pop for their vignette, which introduced each team member individually. The highlight came when Kenny Omega tried to smoke a cigar, only to start choking as his peers looked on in disgust. The babyfaces walked out to “Judas” wearing suits.
All told, there were 14 bodies in the ring. The story of this match was the ongoing feud between The Demand and Jericho. But fans only chanted loudly for The Hurt Syndicate despite Tony Khan’s best efforts to sabotage them over the past year.
Toa Liona did a strongman spot where he slammed three men with a Samoan Drop. The Demand posed in the middle of the ring to a chorus of boos. All seven heels joined hands to put pressure on an abdominal stretch from Toa Liona. MVP used his cain to break it up, and all seven heels hilariously fell down dominos. Fans chanted “MVP!”
Shelton shined with a dive to the outside on the heels, and Jericho did the same with a top-rope dive. Omega, the Young Bucks and Jericho each individually hit hurricanranas to a thunderous reaction. Fans ate up every spot of this match to this point.
The Elite and Jericho locked in stereo Walls of Jericho while Jack Perry exploded a vacuum cleaner attachment on Mark Davis. Backstage, there was somewhat of a reunion as Lio Rush had an interaction with Bobby Lashley. Lio is completely insane these days, and has actually made the most out of his Blackheart gimmick.
Andrade did his “baddies” spot, but one of the baddies was disguised as Luchasaurus. Backstage, there was a food fight with Satnam Singh, and Luther made a cameo to arm Chris Jericho with a giant tennis racket. Jack Perry drove a giant bus crashed into Mark Davis while he was still inside of a car.
The finish came when Ricochet was left all alone in the middle of the ring as the babyfaces teed off on him. Bishop Khan sacrificed himself and took a seven-way superkick for his troubles. Jericho hit a Lionsault for the emphatic win. This was so much fun.
After the match, Jericho dove through a table in homage to Sabu.

MJF Def. Darby Allin

Fans were very thirsty to see MJF have his head shaved bald. This came across during Max’s ring introduction. MJF insisted Justin Roberts introduce him as somebody who “doesn’t hail from any of the five bulls—t burrows. He comes from a mansion none of you can afford.” Roberts introduced Darby as the “bats—t crazy” AEW world heavyweight champion.
This match began with three consecutive side headlock takeovers by Darby Allin for three nearfalls. Darby tried a suicide dive, but tripped on the ropes and landed on the back of his neck for a scary landing. MJF took firm control of the match until Darby Allin fought out of an Avalanche Tombstone. The two screwed up a top-rope stunner as Excalibur struggled to explain what happened a 2026 Jim Ross.
Darby made up for his scary spot from earlier with a picture-perfect suicide dive on MJF. Darby tried a coffin drop on the apron, but MJF moved to avoid a broken neck. MJF hit a package piledriver on a steel step. Darby quickly recovered and tried a Coffin Drop, but MJF got his knees up.
MJF and Darby took turns rolling each other up forever. The sequence ended in a bridge to their feet. MJF countered a Code Red from Darby, who landed on his feet and countered with another Code Red. This sequence got a standing ovation and they deserved it.
A dive to the outside by Darby took out a cameraman when MJF used the cameraman as a human shield. The cameraman was escorted out by AEW officials. This was all part of the story, so the cameraman won’t sue. Darby Allin climbed to the top of the scaffold, performed Mick Foley’s signature “Bang Bang” taunt and hit a Coffin Drop through the table.
Sporting a gnarly gash in the back of his head, Darby tried another Coffin Drop for a nearfall, of course. As the medical staff tended to a wounded Darby Allin, MJF flashed an evil smile and descended upon Darby. Darby hit a Scorpion Death Drop and nipped up to his feet. MJF cut off another Coffin Drop attempt. Max hit an Avalanche Tombstone ed by a side headlock takedown for the win.
After the match, MJF posed over Darby Allin on a stretcher. Kevin Knight made the , but then turned heel with a UFO Splash on Darby. MJF looked on approvingly as AEW Double or Nothing went off the air.
