Three title matches added to AEW Double or Nothing

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Three new title matches have been added to AEW Double or Nothing.

Orange Cassidy will defend the AEW International title in a 21 person Blackjack Battle Royal in Las Vegas on May 28. Cassidy was interviewed on Wednesday’s Dynamite by Renee Paquette, who said that at least 20 people had answered Cassidy’s challenge earlier in the show. Cassidy said he’d defend the title against them all.

The match between Wardlow and Christian Cage for the TNT title was also made official. Wardlow opened the show, daring Cage to spit in his face as he had dared to do last week. Cage came out with Luchasaurus. It soon turned into a brawl with Wardlow initially gaining the upper hand, but Cage ended up getting control after a low blow. Cage then attacked Wardlow with a ladder.

Toni Storm will again challenge Jamie Hayter for the Women’s Championship in Las Vegas. After Storm picked up a victory on Dynamite, she called out Hayter for a title match, saying she was an entirely different animal.

Here is the updated lineup for Double or Nothing:

  • AEW World Championship: MJF defends against Sammy Guevara, Jungle Boy Jack Perry, and Darby Allin
  • AEW Tag Team titles: FTR vs. Jeff Jarrett and Jay Lethal
  • AEW International title: Orange Cassidy defends in a 21-man Blackjack Battle Royal
  • TNT title: Wardlow defends against Christian Cage in a ladder match
  • AEW Women’s title: Jamie Hayter defends against Toni Storm
  • Anarchy in the Arena match: The Elite (Kenny Omega, Young Bucks, and Hangman Page) vs. The Blackpool Combat Club (Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta)

AEW notes: Tag Title challenge for Double or Nothing, Hikaru Shida

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Here are notes from Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite.

Hikaru Shida made her return to the company, saving Willow Nightingale from an attack by The Outcasts (Ruby Soho, Saraya, and Toni Storm). At first, Shida acted like she was going to turn on Nightingale and join the Outcasts. However, it was a ruse as Britt Baker and Jamie Hayter appeared from behind and attacked the Outcasts, sending them reeling.

Shida last appeared on the January 2 edition of AEW Dark: Elevation.

A vignette was shown on Wednesday’s Dynamite showing Jay Lethal, Sonjay Dutt, Jeff Jarrett, and Satnam Singh appearing at Mark Briscoe’s home. The group spent the day working on the chicken farm. During the vignette, Lethal mentioned that Briscoe would be in action on Rampage this coming Friday. He also issued the challenge to FTR for a Tag Team title match at Double or Nothing, pointing out that he had recently defeated Cash Wheeler and Jarrett had recently scored a pinfall over Dax Harwood. 

Here is an extended cut of the vignette that aired on Wednesday night:

Four-way World Championship match set for AEW Double or Nothing

The main event for Double or Nothing is official.

Darby Allin and Jungle Boy Jack Perry won their tag team match on Dynamite against MJF and Sammy Guevara on Wednesday. The stipulation had been if they won, they would be added to the MJF/Guevara match at Double or Nothing on May 28 in Las Vegas. The finish of the match had MJF and Guevara turn on each other after an argument. Jungle Boy used the opportunity to lay out Guevara. Without realizing it, Perry was then tagged out by Allin, who hit the coffin drop and pinned Guevara to win the match for his team.

MJF previously announced a tournament would take place where the winner would face him at Double or Nothing. He and Guevara formed a partnership, helping Guevara defeat Jungle Boy and Allin in order to win the tournament. However, after Guevara defeated Allin by disqualification, Tony Schiavone informed MJF last week that Tony Khan had made a match for this week, a tag match where if Allin and Perry won, they would be added to the match.

Here is what is confirmed so far for Double or Nothing:

  • AEW World Championship: MJF defends against Sammy Guevara, Jungle Boy Jack Perry, and Sammy Guevara

March 27, 2023 Observer Newsletter: The latest on WWE WrestleMania 39, AEW ticket sales update

Posted on by Dave Meltzer

With WrestleMania coming up in Southern California, it will be the biggest money week in company history from a live show perspective, and likely with whatever Peacock pays for WrestleMania rights, plus the huge increase in sponsorships that WWE has been getting for big shows, it will be record-setting in that realm as well.

For the WWE events the 3/31 Smackdown and Hall of Fame event at the Crypto.com Arena, they had 14,393 tickets out and are 838 tickets shy of sellout, so they will sell out.

Stand & Deliver with a 9 a.m. start time on 4/1 has 6,678 tickets out in the same building, which is far above last year in Dallas, although there have been WrestleMania week NXT shows that have done much better. From 2015 to 2019, the WrestleMania NXT big event over the weekend sold out but it has not done so since 2019 and this year will be well above last year but far from a sellout.
