Konosuke Takeshita helps BCC win Anarchy in the Arena at AEW Double or Nothing

Posted on by Ethan Renner

Blackpool Combat Club defeated The Elite in an Anarchy in the Arena match at AEW Double or Nothing with help from Konosuke Takeshita. 

Takeshita returned to AEW for the first time in over a month at Sunday’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view, turning on Kenny Omega and aligning with Don Callis and the Blackpool Combat Club as the BCC defeated The Elite in the second annual Anarchy in the Arena match at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. 

When Takeshita was last seen in AEW, he was teaming with Omega on the April 26 Dynamite in a tag team victory over The Butcher and The Blade. At Double or Nothing, he cost Omega and The Elite a victory. 

As the match reached its conclusion, Omega had Callis cornered in the ring and victory seemingly in hand. A masked man then flew in and hit Omega with a flying knee strike. The masked man was revealed to be Takeshita. Wheeler Yuta then pinned Omega with a seatbelt to secure the win for the BCC. 

In a post-show promo in front of the live crowd in Vegas, Omega teased that outside talent would be coming to AEW to assist The Elite in their continuing battle against the Blackpool Combat Club.

Toni Storm wins AEW Women’s World title at Double or Nothing

Posted on by Ethan Renner

Toni Storm is once again the AEW Women’s World Champion. 

Storm defeated Jamie Hayter at Sunday’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view in Las Vegas to capture the AEW Women’s title for the second time in her career. 

Hayter, who has recently been suffering from a legitimate injury according to Tony Khan, was attacked prior to the bout by Storm’s Outcasts teammates Ruby Soho and Saraya. The attack provided Hayter with a storyline out for the loss, and played into the work of the match itself.

Soho and Saraya interfered in the match on Storm’s behalf, while Britt Baker did a run-in in support of Hayter in an attempt to neutralize The Outcasts. Ultimately, Storm sent Hayter into an exposed turnbuckle, then hit her with Storm Zero to get the win and regain the title.

Hayter’s first title reign ends at 191 days, as she originally defeated Storm to win the title at Full Gear on November 19, 2022. 

Storm’s first title reign stretched for 76 days after she won a four-way for the then-interim Women’s World title at All Out last September. That reign was retroactively recognized as a regular title reign after Thunder Rosa was forced to vacate the Championship without losing it in the ring due to a back injury.
