Double or Nothing 2022 | The Review-ish

Welcome back to the blog for Elite wrestling content, the fourth edition of Double or Nothing took place in Las Vegas, Nevada during Memorial Day Weekend, let's run through the key events of the pay-per-view.

Wardlow defeated MJF in the opening match of the night, there were a lot of rumours about MJF circulating across all social media leading to this night, perhaps him being put on a stretcher and carried out by doctors and so on, is a way to divert attention from the real life situation (if there even is one) just an observation. 

The Hardys vs. Young Bucks was an outstanding tag team match, I was actually surprised there weren't many near falls, which is something that is associated with the Bucks, it felt like a throwaway match because nothing prestigious was on the line. 

Jade Cargill's unbeaten run is now 32-0 after picking up victory against Anna Jay, to remain the TBS Champion, we saw some "surprise" debuts from the former Malcolm Bivens and Ember Moon, there have been many debuts in the past, let's see how these play out, in terms of creative booking. 

The House of Black (Malakai Black, Brody King & Buddy Matthews) defeated Death Triangle (Pac, Penta Oscuro and Ray Fenix) after Julia Hart appeared after the lights turned back on, she blew mist in the face of Pac, who was hit by Black Mass by Malaki, for the three count, the creative really needs to stop with the lights out, lights on scenario, it has become very boring to watch. 

Congratulations to Adam Cole and Britt Baker D.M.D for winning the Men's and Women's Owen Hart Foundation Tournaments, they were awarded title belts and the cup by Martha Hart.

Ethan Page, Scorpio Sky and Paige VanZant defeated Frankie Kazarian, Sammy Guevara and Tay Conti in a standard six person tag match, the stipulation was, if they lost, neither Kazarian or Guevara will be allowed to challenge for the TNT Championship as long as Sky is champion.

Kyle O'Reilly defeated Darby Allin, while it was a good match, it probably should have been on a episode of Dynamite or Rampage. 

Thunder Rosa successfully defended her AEW Women's Championship against Serena Deeb, let's see what is next for the two going forward.

The Anarchy in the Arena Match between Jericho Appreciation Society and Blackpool Combat Club, along with Eddie Kingston, Santana and Ortiz was over the top, something the crowd also seemed to enjoy, at least they were entertained by this.

The Jurassic Express remain the Tag Team Champions after winning the triple threat against Keith Lee and Swerve and Hobbs and Starks, it looked like Christian was about to turn heel during the celebrations but that never materialised. 

In the main event, CM Punk defeated Hangman Page to become the NEW AEW Champion, this was the only title which changed hands during the four hour plus pay-per-view, it has to be said Page's reign was stale, perhaps we will see a darker side to his character as time goes on. 

Apologies for not talking more about this event, the recent weeks have been busy, this week seems to be going the same route, also, if you are a WWE fan, click HERE for Hell in a Cell content and more.
