Mark Briscoe challenges Ricochet to AEW Double or Nothing stretcher match

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Mark Briscoe and Ricochet will continue their rivalry with a stipulation match at AEW Double or Nothing.

Following Dynamite this week, AEW uploaded a promo with Briscoe challenging Ricochet to face him in a stretcher match at the Sunday, May 25 pay-per-view. The match has not been officially announced yet with Ricochet still needing to respond to the challenge.

“Ricochet, you have been the perpetual thorn in my side, the proverbial chap of my ass for the better part of two months,” Briscoe said. “So it’s about time we ended this. I’m tired of looking at you, you bald-headed bully.”

On the Beach Break edition of Dynamite this week, Ricochet defeated Zach Gowen but was chased away by Briscoe when he tried to continue bullying Gowen after the match. Briscoe said he wants to send Ricochet to the hospital as revenge for what he did to Gowen.

Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona will be the venue for Double or Nothing. There is still one Dynamite episode and two Collisions remaining before the PPV.

AEW bringing Double or Nothing to new location this May

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Though Double or Nothing has traditionally been held in Las Vegas, AEW is bringing the pay-per-view to a new location this year.

It was announced today that Double or Nothing 2025 will emanate live from Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona on Sunday, May 25. Aside from 2020 and 2021 when the show had to be moved due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this is the first time Double or Nothing has taken place outside of Las Vegas. The PPV debuted in 2019 as AEW’s inaugural event.

The PPV is still happening on Memorial Day weekend, the usual date for Double or Nothing.

Tony Khan told the Arizona Republic that the Phoenix-area fans have been incredible for AEW — and he’s been looking forward to bringing them a PPV event.

“We put on the best pay-per-view events in the wrestling business,” Khan said. “The fans in the Phoenix area have been so incredible for AEW. We’ve done several shows around Phoenix and we’ve had great support from the fans.

“I had said after an amazing AEW event in Phoenix in the past that we would bring these great fans a pay-per-view event, because they deserve it.”

A ticket pre-sale for Double or Nothing begins this Friday (February 21) with tickets then going on sale to the general public next Monday (February 24). The PPV announcement was made in advance of AEW coming to Phoenix for a live Dynamite episode and Collision taping tonight.

Las Vegas is hosting WWE WrestleMania 41 this April, which may have factored into AEW’s decision to move Double or Nothing to a new location for 2025.

Here’s a look at the updated AEW PPV calendar:

  • Revolution: Sunday, March 9 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California
  • Dynasty: Sunday, April 6 at Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
  • Double or Nothing: Sunday, May 25 at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona
  • All In: Saturday, July 12 at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas
  • Forbidden Door: Sunday, August 24 in London, England (venue to be announced)
