Divine Dominion def. Viva Van & Zayda Steel

AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions Lena Kross and Megan Bayne survived the five-minute eliminator challenge against Viva Van and Zayda Steel. The challengers nearly pulled off the upset late, but Divine Dominion finished Steel off with a double chokeslam before time expired.

After the match, the champions continued the assault until TayJay ran them off with weapons in hand.

Death Riders def. The Opps

Claudio Castagnoli, Daniel Garcia, and Wheeler YUTA picked up a hard-fought trios victory over Anthony Bowens, HOOK, and Katsuyori Shibata.

The match broke down late with all six men involved, but Claudio ultimately flattened Bowens with a devastating running uppercut to secure the win for the Death Riders.

Boom & Doom & The Conglomeration def. Shane Taylor Promotions

“Big Boom” AJ, QT Marshall, Mark Briscoe, Orange Cassidy, and Roderick Strong defeated Shane Taylor Promotions in a wild ten-man tag team match filled with comedy spots and chaos.

MJF confronts Mick Foley

During the pre-show, Maxwell Jacob Friedman insulted WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley before attacking him with a low blow. Darby Allin eventually made the save.

Foley then gave Allin an emotional pep talk ahead of the AEW World Title main event.

AEW Double Or Nothing 2026 Main Card Results

Cope & Christian Cage def. FTR – AEW World Tag Team Championship “I Quit” Match

Adam Copeland and Christian Cage regained the AEW World Tag Team Championships in one of the most violent matches of the night.

The bout featured barbed wire, pliers, steel chairs, cinder blocks, flaming tables, and even the return of Beth Phoenix. Stokely Hathaway was also sent crashing through a flaming table after Cash Wheeler accidentally speared him.

The ending came after Beth introduced the nail-studded board known as “Spike.” Copeland drove Spike into Dax Harwood’s face, finally forcing Harwood to say “I quit.”

With the win, Cope and Christian remained together as a team and captured the titles.

Konosuke Takeshita def. Kazuchika Okada – AEW International Championship

Konosuke Takeshita dethroned Kazuchika Okada in an instant classic to become the new AEW International Champion.

The two traded brutal strikes and dramatic nearfalls throughout the match. Takeshita eventually survived Okada’s offense and connected with Raging Fire to score the pinfall victory.

After the match, Kyle Fletcher made his return. Fletcher initially teased standing beside Takeshita before turning on him with a lariat and a Brainbuster. Fletcher then aligned himself with Okada and the Don Callis Family.

Athena def. Mina Shirakawa – Women’s Owen Hart Tournament Quarterfinal

Athena advanced in the Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament after defeating Mina Shirakawa.

Mina targeted Athena’s knee for much of the contest and nearly stole the win multiple times. However, Athena countered late and connected with the O-Face for the decisive pinfall.

Jon Moxley def. Kyle O’Reilly – AEW Continental Championship

Jon Moxley retained the AEW Continental Championship in a technical war against Kyle O’Reilly.

Both men focused heavily on submissions and leg attacks throughout the no time limit match. O’Reilly came close several times with ankle locks and arm submissions, but Moxley eventually trapped him in an ankle lock of his own to force the tap out.

After the match, the two shared a respectful handshake.

Will Ospreay def. Samoa Joe – Men’s Owen Hart Tournament Quarterfinal

Will Ospreay survived a physical battle with Samoa Joe to move forward in the Owen Hart Tournament.

Joe repeatedly punished Ospreay with submissions and power offense, while Ospreay answered with explosive counters and aerial attacks. After Joe shockingly kicked out of one Hidden Blade at one count, Ospreay connected with a second Hidden Blade to finally earn the victory.

Swerve Strickland def. Bandido – Men’s Owen Hart Tournament Quarterfinal

Swerve Strickland advanced in the Owen Hart Tournament after overcoming Bandido in a fast-paced showcase.

Bandido pushed Strickland to the limit with several close nearfalls, including a massive 21-Plex attempt and a flip piledriver. In the end, Swerve landed the House Call kick to secure the victory.

Thekla def. Jamie Hayter, Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida – AEW Women’s World Championship

Thekla retained the AEW Women’s World Championship in a chaotic four-way match against Jamie Hayter, Kris Statlander, and Hikaru Shida.

All four women traded momentum throughout the bout, with several nearfalls breaking down into complete chaos. The finish saw Shida use a kendo stick on Statlander before Thekla capitalized with a running knee to steal the win and retain her title.

Jericho, The Elite & The Hurt Syndicate def. Don Callis Family, The Demand & The Dogs – Stadium Stampede

The Stadium Stampede match delivered absolute chaos as fourteen competitors battled throughout the arena.

Highlights included:

  • Shelton Benjamin hitting a tope con giro
  • Ricochet being attacked with tennis balls and a giant tennis racket
  • Luchasaurus returning during Andrade’s backstage brawl
  • Multiple table crashes throughout the arena
  • Bobby Lashley spearing Mark Davis through a table
  • Kenny Omega delivering a One Winged Angel through a table

The finish came when Chris Jericho pinned Bishop Kaun after a Lionsault.

Jericho later paid tribute to Sabu by diving through a table after the match.

MJF def. Darby Allin – AEW World Championship Hair vs. Title Match

Maxwell Jacob Friedman defeated Darby Allin in a brutal main event to become the new AEW World Champion.

The match featured several dangerous moments, including Darby launching himself off the stage scaffolding through a table onto MJF. Despite the punishment, Friedman survived a Coffin Drop and multiple Scorpion Death Drops.

The finish came after MJF delivered an avalanche tombstone piledriver before scoring the pinfall with a side headlock takeover.

Because of the stipulation, MJF kept his hair while also capturing the AEW World Championship.

After the match, Kevin Knight surprisingly attacked Darby Allin with a UFO Splash while Darby was strapped to a stretcher, teasing a shocking heel turn.

Willow Nightingale Injured, Forced To Vacate AEW TBS Championship & Withdraw From Owen Hart Tournament

AEW suffered a major setback on Wednesday night as Willow Nightingale revealed she is dealing with a shoulder injury that will sideline her indefinitely.

During a backstage segment on AEW Dynamite, Nightingale announced that the injury occurred during her recent TBS Championship defense against Red Velvet on Saturday’s episode of AEW Collision. Because of the injury, she confirmed she will no longer be able to compete in the Owen Hart Tournament and has officially vacated the AEW TBS Championship.

Nightingale had originally been scheduled to face Alex Windsor at Double or Nothing this Sunday as part of the tournament.

In the emotional pre-taped promo, Nightingale remained optimistic despite the disappointing news.

“But as sure as this smile remains on my face, I will be back,” Nightingale said before leaving the TBS title behind in the locker room area. “I don’t know when, but I’ll tell you this — I’m coming right back to the top.”

Following the segment, AEW commentary confirmed that a mystery wild card entrant will replace Nightingale in the Owen Hart Tournament bracket.

AEW also announced changes to the Double or Nothing card as a result of the injury. Instead of the previously planned tournament match involving Alex Windsor, the pay-per-view will now feature Mina Shirakawa taking on ROH Women’s World Champion Athena.

At this time, AEW has not revealed how a new TBS Champion will be crowned.

Nightingale captured the TBS Championship for the second time earlier this year when she defeated Mercedes Moné at Dynamite: New Year’s Smash to close out 2025. Her latest title reign lasted 140 days before being cut short by injury.

Fans across social media quickly rallied behind Nightingale following the announcement, with many already looking forward to her eventual return to AEW television.

Mick Foley Officially Set For AEW Double Or Nothing 2026 Appearance

Wrestling legend Mick Foley is officially heading to AEW.

AEW President Tony Khan announced on social media Wednesday that the WWE Hall of Famer will appear at this weekend’s Double or Nothing pay-per-view. Foley is scheduled to co-host the Zero Hour pre-show alongside Renee Paquette, marking his first official appearance for the company.

Interestingly, Khan referred to the event as Foley’s “first night” in AEW, leading to speculation that the partnership could extend beyond a one-time appearance.

Rumors surrounding Foley and AEW had already been gaining traction over the last week after reports surfaced claiming the company had interest in bringing the hardcore icon in for some type of role. Those rumors intensified after the Quad City Comic Con announced a schedule change involving Foley. The convention revealed that Foley, who had originally been advertised for both Saturday and Sunday, would now only appear on Saturday.

When a fan suggested the change could be related to Double or Nothing, the convention’s Facebook account responded with a cryptic message: “We were told we couldn’t be told, which told us all we needed to be told.”

Foley joining AEW comes months after he publicly distanced himself from WWE due to the company’s relationship with the Donald Trump administration. Since then, many fans have wondered whether AEW could eventually become Foley’s next wrestling home.

The hardcore legend has also been loosely connected to AEW in the past through MJF. The two had previously discussed the possibility of a retirement match for Foley, though nothing ultimately materialized.

With this appearance, Foley adds AEW to a career résumé that already includes virtually every major wrestling promotion in North America. Over the years, Foley has competed for WWE, WCW, ECW, TNA, and Ring of Honor, while also wrestling internationally for promotions such as All Japan Pro Wrestling, FMW, and AAA.

AEW Double or Nothing 2026 takes place this Sunday, and Foley’s arrival is already shaping up to be one of the event’s biggest talking points heading into the weekend.

AEW Bringing “Brawl in the Ballpark” To MLB Stadium This July

AEW is continuing its recent trend of running shows from unconventional venues, and this summer the company will officially head to a Major League Baseball stadium for a special event.

Following the buzz surrounding AEW Collision: Fairway To Hell earlier this month at the SoFi Center’s indoor golf venue in Florida, AEW has now announced “Brawl in the Ballpark,” scheduled for Friday, July 10 at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The event will take place after the Minnesota Twins vs. Detroit Tigers game, marking another unique crossover presentation for the promotion.

The announcement was made during Tuesday night’s action at Target Field, where Minnesota natives Dante and Darius Martin of Top Flight appeared to hype the upcoming show. However, the segment quickly turned physical when Jeff Jarrett interrupted and blindsided the duo.

Jarrett didn’t hold back during his promo, taking shots at both the hometown crowd and the state itself.

“Every Minnesota Twin fan, as a matter of fact, the entire state of Minnesota is nothing but a bunch of pathetic losers. Friday night, July 10th, AEW is hosting Brawl in the Ballpark and I’m going to get the job done.”

So far, Jarrett and Top Flight are the only names publicly connected to the event, though more talent announcements are expected in the coming weeks.

One of the biggest questions surrounding the show is how AEW plans to use the baseball stadium layout. At Fairway To Hell, wrestlers incorporated golf course features like sand traps and putting greens into the action, helping the special stand out visually from standard arena broadcasts.

With Target Field now serving as the backdrop, fans are already speculating about possible entrances, stadium brawls, and creative use of the baseball diamond itself.

AEW has also released several VIP ticket options for the event, including:

  • Theme Night Package
  • VIP Ringside Package
  • Truly on Deck Package

Each package includes admission to the show and a complimentary Lucha Mask Hat. Fans who purchase the VIP Ringside package will receive reserved ringside seating, while the Truly on Deck experience offers elevated views overlooking the stadium setup.

As AEW continues experimenting with themed presentation concepts and non-traditional venues, “Brawl in the Ballpark” could end up being one of the company’s more visually distinctive events of the year.

Former WWE Star Enzo Reportedly Seen At WWE Performance Center – Big Bill’s AEW Contract Expiring Soon?

A familiar face from WWE’s past may be back on the company’s radar.

According to a report from False Finish, former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore was recently spotted at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. The outlet noted that Amore was present at the facility on Tuesday ahead of this week’s episode of WWE NXT on The CW.

False Finish shared the following update on X:

“False Finish has learned that former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore has been at the WWE Performance Center recently and was there yesterday ahead of #WWENXT.”

Amore’s WWE run came to an abrupt end in January 2018 after sexual assault allegations surfaced against him. WWE suspended him on January 22 before officially parting ways with him the following day. Later that year, the Phoenix Police Department closed the investigation without filing charges.

Since leaving WWE, Amore — who has performed under the name Real1 — has remained active on the independent wrestling scene. Over the years, he has appeared for promotions including MLW, GCW, House of Glory, and Northeast Wrestling while also pursuing music projects outside the ring.

The timing of the reported Performance Center visit has sparked speculation among fans due to another recent report involving Big Bill, formerly known in WWE as Big Cass.

Fightful Select reported back in April that Big Bill’s AEW deal could expire around late May or early June 2026. Bill has been largely absent from AEW programming in recent months, wrestling only a handful of matches this year and not appearing on television since a February episode of Collision.

With Amore reportedly back around WWE and Big Bill’s AEW future uncertain, talk of a potential Enzo & Cass reunion has naturally picked up online.

The duo became one of WWE’s most popular tag teams during their NXT and main roster run in the mid-2010s. Their charisma and crowd reactions helped make them standout acts on both brands before WWE split them up in 2017 with Cass turning on Enzo during an episode of Raw.

While they never captured tag team gold on the WWE main roster, the team was widely considered one of the hottest acts of that era. Big Cass eventually departed WWE in 2018 before rebuilding his career through IMPACT Wrestling, the independent scene, and eventually AEW as Big Bill.

At this point, there’s no official word regarding a WWE return for Amore, but his reported appearance at the Performance Center is already generating plenty of discussion about what could potentially be next.

Garrett Borden, Sting’s Son, Makes Pro Wrestling Debut At Dustin Rhodes’ Indie Promotion

Another member of Sting’s family has officially entered the wrestling world.

Garrett Borden, the son of WWE Hall of Famer and AEW legend Sting, recently made his in-ring debut at a Rhodes Wrestling Association event in Texas. Footage of the match surfaced online early Monday through JJA Sport Studio on X, giving fans their first look at Garrett in action.

The Rhodes Wrestling Association is operated by AEW veteran Dustin Rhodes, who also runs the Rhodes Wrestling Academy. In the clip making the rounds online, Garrett faced Brandon Barretta and showcased several moves tied closely to his father’s legacy. Among the highlights were multiple Sting Splashes and a big clothesline before he finished the bout with a Torture Rack-style Samoan Drop — a move that many fans connected to Lex Luger, Sting’s longtime friend and tag team partner.

Garrett’s wrestling debut comes as somewhat of a surprise, as there had been little public indication that he was training for a career in the business. His brother, Steven Borden, has been more visible on the wrestling scene over the last year after training alongside names like Darby Allin and FTR. Steven has already competed in dark matches for AEW and appeared for independent promotions including DEFY and Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling.

While Garrett’s training background hasn’t been confirmed, there is already a family connection to Dustin Rhodes’ school. Garrett’s wife, Kaetlyn Borden, previously trained under Rhodes and competed as “Jael” for the Rhodes Wrestling Association, Ring of Honor, and several other promotions before later transitioning into a backstage role with AEW.

Although this was Garrett’s first official match, longtime wrestling fans may remember seeing him years ago during Sting’s run in TNA Wrestling. He was briefly involved in a storyline with Jeff Jarrett during the mid-2000s. More recently, Garrett appeared alongside Steven during Sting’s retirement run in AEW in 2024.

The brothers played a memorable role at Sting’s final match at AEW Revolution, where they helped neutralize The Young Bucks after weeks of attacks on their father. Steven appeared dressed as Wolfpack Sting, while Garrett paid tribute to Sting’s classic Surfer Sting look during the surprise appearance.

With both of Sting’s sons now stepping into the wrestling spotlight, it’ll be interesting to see whether Garrett continues pursuing an in-ring career moving forward.
