AEW Double or Nothing 2026 takes place tonight from a sold-out Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, NY, with a Title vs Hair main event and the return of the Stadium Stampede match anchoring the company’s biggest pay-per-view of the year.
Tonight is the seventh edition of AEW Double or Nothing, the company’s longest-running annual pay-per-view event. The show was AEW’s first official pay-per-view in 2019 and has been held every May since. The show has distributed over 13,800 tickets via WrestleTix and is on pace to become the second-highest-grossing domestic pay-per-view in AEW history.
Darby Allin defends the AEW World Championship against MJF in a Title vs Hair match in the main event. Allin won the title in Everett, WA last month in under three minutes, kicking off a sustained run that has seen him successfully defend the championship seven times in one month. MJF’s hair will be shaved if he cannot reclaim the title tonight.
The AEW Women’s World Championship will be defended in a four-way match for the first time in company history. Thekla defends against Jamie Hayter, Kris Statlander, and Hikaru Shida. All four wrestlers are current or former AEW Women’s World Champions, making the match the first of its kind featuring exclusively champions and former champions. Thekla can lose the title without being directly involved in the deciding pinfall or submission, which is the central booking risk.
FTR defends the AEW World Tag Team Championship against Cage and Cope in an I Quit Match. The stipulation is that if Cage and Cope lose, they will not be allowed to team together again. The bout is the third in the series between the two teams with each having one win to date.
Kazuchika Okada defends the AEW International Championship against Konosuke Takeshita. Jim Ross has framed the match as a “potential show stealer,” citing the cultural backstory of the two Japanese wrestlers growing up watching each other develop through the NJPW system. The match settles the in-storyline conflict that emerged when Takeshita abandoned Okada during their tag match against the Young Bucks at AEW Dynasty.
Jon Moxley defends the AEW Continental Championship against Kyle O’Reilly. O’Reilly earned the title shot through a time-limit draw with Moxley on Wednesday’s Dynamite/Collision special.
The Stadium Stampede match is the largest in AEW history with 14 total participants. The bout returns to AEW for the first time since AEW All In London 2023. Chris Jericho leads The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson, and Jack Perry) and The Hurt Syndicate against Ricochet’s group of The Demand, The Don Callis Family (Mark Davis and Andrade), and The Dogs.
The Owen Hart Foundation Cup Tournament also kicks off tonight with three quarterfinal matches. The Buy In preshow is co-hosted by Renee Paquette and Mick Foley, marking Foley’s official AEW debut. Foley’s WWE Legends deal expires in June 2026. The Buy In features:
- Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne and Lena Kross, c) vs Zayda Steel and Viva Van in a 5-Minute AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship Eliminator
- The Opps (HOOK, Anthony Bowens, and Katsuyori Shibata) vs Death Riders (Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, and Claudio Castagnoli)
- Boom & Doom and The Conglomeration vs Shane Taylor Promotions in a 10-Man Tag Team Match
