Tony Khan: AEW Hits $1.1M In Double Or Nothing 2022 Ticket Sales

Tony Khan proudly discussed AEW’s continuous success in Las Vegas in a recent pre-pay-per-view media call.

This year, Double or Nothing will return to Vegas for the first time since the first AEW event in 2019. Interest is at an all-time high in the ‘Sin City.’

AEW is above the $1,000,000 mark in ticket sales for their pay-per-view return to Las Vegas.

Over $1.1 Million In Tickets For DON 2022

During the pre-AEW Double or Nothing 2022 media call, AEW Owner Tony Khan said,

“This is the biggest live attendance we’ve ever had. It’s a great barometer in pro wrestling. The live fans in the arena set the pace for fans all over the world.

“Obviously, with their reactions in the arena to people they see in the ring, but also how they spend their money and how they make their presence felt at the show.

“For us to set our attendance record already with well over a million dollars, I think over $1.1 million in tickets sold to Sunday’s pay-per-view, that is an amazing milestone for us and I also believe it’s indicative of huge interest in Double or Nothing 2022.”

Double Or Nothing 2022 Matchups

At the fourth AEW Double or Nothing, CM Punk will challenge Hangman Page for the AEW World Title. This is his first world championship match in pro wrestling in nearly ten years.

Serena Deeb will also challenge Thunder Rosa for the AEW Women’s World Championship.

There’s a triple threat match for the AEW Tag Team Championships where Jurassic Express will defend against Team Taz (Ricky Starks & Powerhouse Hobbs) and Swerve In Our Glory (Keith Lee and Swerve Strickland).

Last-Minute Match Possibly Being Added To AEW Double Or Nothing

It looks like more than one unannounced match has been listed internally for AEW Double or Nothing.

Earlier this week, Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer reported that Sammy Guevara and Tay Conti vs. Scorpio Sky or Ethan Page and Paige VanZant was “tentatively planned” for the PPV.

It seems like there’s another match that could be added to the show late.

Fightful is now reporting that Darby Allin vs. Kyle O’Reilly has been discussed as a possible last-minute addition.

It would make sense given that Kyle injured Sting in storyline by placing his ankle through a chair and crushing it with a knee off the top turnbuckle.

Darby recently promised that he will have a presence at Double or Nothing:

“Trust me I got a plan heading into Sunday.”

AEW Double or Nothing Main Event Won’t Collide With NBA Eastern Conference Finals

The NBA playoffs have been crushing wrestling in the TV ratings and many have feared it could negatively impact AEW Double or Nothing.

The PPV event is set for May 29. This Friday, the Boston Celtics will take on the Miami Heat in game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

If Miami wins, the series will go to game 7 on the same night as Double or Nothing.

This is a high-stakes series as the winner will advance to the NBA Finals.

DoN Headliner Safe From NBA

AEW President Tony Khan has squashed any concern that the Double or Nothing main event could start while a potential game 7 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals is ongoing.

During an appearance on the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Khan confirmed that if there is a game 7, he will not run the world title match between Hangman Adam Page and CM Punk until it’s over.

“I promise that Hangman Page versus CM Punk for the world championship is not going to go to the ring until after game seven, if there is a game seven.

“So it leaves it open even for those diehard fans of those teams if there is a Heat-Celtics game seven.

“I promise just like Bob Arum did, another promoter here in Vegas, said that Pacquiao-Bradley was not going to go to the ring.

I promise we’ll hold it back because we’ve planned ahead in case there was a game seven not knowing who it would be.

“But it might not even happen, but if it does, we’re prepared.”

Cody Rhodes and Kenny Omega Comment on Missing AEW Double or Nothing 2022

Both Cody Rhodes and Kenny Omega are okay with missing next week’s Double or Nothing 2022 Pay-Per-View.

Next Sunday’s event will be headlined by AEW World Champion ‘Hangman’ Adam Page defending his title against CM Punk, in the latter’s first World title match since 2013.

The show will go on without either Rhodes, who left AEW in February and returned to WWE in April, or Omega, who is continuing to recover from injuries.

Omega hasn’t appeared in AEW since Full Gear 2021, where he lost the World Championship to Page.

On Twitter, a fan expressed their disappointment that neither will be appearing next weekend saying it isn’t the same without them, earning a response from both Rhodes and Omega.

AEW Double or Nothing 2022

In addition to the AEW World Championship match, AEW Double or Nothing 2022 will also see the finals of the Owen Hart Foundation Men’s and Women’s Tournaments.

In the men’s finals, Adam Cole will face either Kyle O’Reilly or Samoa Joe, who will face off on next week’s Dynamite to earn a spot in the finals.

For the women’s tournament, Toni Storm will face Britt Baker and Ruby Soho will face Kris Statlander, with the winners advancing to the finals at the Pay Per View.

New Matches Set For AEW Double Or Nothing

The AEW Double Or Nothing card continues to come along as three bouts have been announced for the May 29th event in Las Vegas. 

AEW TBS Champion Jade Cargill vs Anna Jay, Young Bucks vs. The Hardys, and House of Black vs. Death Triangle have been booked. The bouts were confirmed on Friday’s episode of AEW Rampage. 

Nick & Matt Jackson have been teasing facing The Hardys in a match for the last few weeks. They threw out the challenge again on Rampage and the promotion confirmed it in a match graphic. 

House of Black defeated Fuego Del Sol and Dark Order’s Evil Uno and 10 on Rampage. Post-match, Penta Oscuro appeared on the ramp with an object that he unveiled to be a tombstone with House of Black and Double or Nothing chip at the bottom of it. Excalibur was quick to announce that Pac, Penta, and Rey Fenix would face Malakai Black, Brody King, and Buddy Matthews in a Six-Man Tag Team Match.

Tony Khan Believes Double Or Nothing Will Be AEW’s Biggest PPV Ever

Tony Khan thinks All Elite Wrestling (AEW) Double Or Nothing could be the promotion’s biggest show ever.

Khan was recently interviewed on Busted Open Radio to discuss several professional wrestling topics, including the upcoming pay-per-view (PPV). With a stacked card from top to bottom, Khan said he thinks this show has the chance to be their biggest ever.

“It’s going to be a great show. Wednesday night, again, three years of AEW, leading up to what I think is going to be one of the biggest nights, if not the biggest night, in the history of the company – Double or Nothing 2022.

“Just such an amazing line-up on this show. So many big matches to look forward too. I’m really so excited,” Tony Khan said.

The card is certainly one of the best we’ve seen from the promotion as of late. AEW World Champion Hangman Page will defend his title against CM Punk.

The Men’s Owen Hart Tournament Finale will take place, Thunder Rosa defends her AEW Women’s Title against Serena Deeb, and so much more.

A star-studded Stadium Stampede match will also take place, as the Jericho Appreciation Society takes on the team of Jon Moxley, Bryan Danielson, Eddie Kingston, Santana, and Ortiz.

It all goes down from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada live on PPV May 29, 2022.

AEW Reaches $1 Million Gate For Double Or Nothing Off First Day Ticket Sales

AEW is off to a good start for its Double or Nothing pay-per-view event thanks to first-day ticket sales. 

The promotion will hold the show on Sunday, May 29th in Las Vegas, Nevada at the T-Mobile Arena. Tickets for it went on sale today and the promotion reached its first-ever $1 million gate. AEW President Tony Khan announced on Twitter Friday by writing.

The Inner Circle Win Stadium Stampede At AEW Double Or Nothing

The big grudge match to further the feud between The Inner Circle and The Pinnacle was booked in the fan favorite Stadium Stampede match at the AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view event. The stipulation to go along with this match was if The Inner Circle lost then they must disband. 

The match saw The Inner Circle be represented by Chris Jericho, Jake Hager, Sammy Guevara, Santana, and Ortiz while the rival faction featured MJF, FTR, Wardlow, and Shawn Spears.

The Inner Circle repelled down from the top of the big screen to the grass inside of the stadium. MJF arrived in a limo. Jericho and MJF went into a room where the Jaguars head coach, Urban Meyer, and Charlie Strong were at and they handed Jericho footballs and a laptop.  

Wardlow and Hager brawled where the food was stored including a freezer where Wardlow tried to stab him with an icicle then speared Hager through a wall. FTR, Santana, and Ortiz were at a nightclub for a fist fight where Konnan was the DJ. Jericho hit MJF with a cardboard cut out of Shahid Khan. Jericho stapled a thank you note to the forehead of MJF then ripped it off. Jericho and MJF brawled into Daily’s Place. At this point,  MJF was a bloody mess. 

MJF tried to throw Jericho off the balcony, but Jericho stopped him by throwing a spotlight into the face of MJF. Once Guevara and Spears brawled their way out to the ring, Sammy hit a 630 senton to Spears for the win. 

The Pinnacle beat The Inner Circle in the first-ever Blood and Guts Match on the May 5th edition of Dynamite. 

The Inner Circle competed in the first-ever Stadium Stampede match at last year’s Double or Nothing, but ended up losing to The Elite.

Kenny Omega Survives Three-Way Bout To Retain World Title At AEW Double Or Nothing

AEW World Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega made his latest title defense against not just one competitor but two wrestlers in the way of PAC and Orange Cassidy in a triple threat match at the AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view event. 

The match had a typical layout of a triple threat match with all three stars having their moments to shine. The end of the match was a bit overbooked due to outside interference with Don Callis saving Omega, the champion using the title, a second referee coming out, and more. Omega rolled up Cassidy for the win. 

All Elite Wrestling set up this match back on the May 12th edition of Dynamite by booking a number one contender’s match as PAC took on Cassidy. The back and forth match saw it end in a double count-out. As a result, both stars earned the right to challenge Omega for the top prize in the promotion.

Omega will make his next title defense as Impact Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion against Moose at next month’s Against All Odds special that will air on Impact Plus. 

He will also make a title defense at the Slammiversary pay-per-view event in July against an unknown competitor. It was originally believed that Omega would face Eddie Edwards at Slammiversary, but he just underwent appendix surgery and will be out for three months.

Sting Wins His First Live In-Ring Match Since 2015 At AEW Double Or Nothing

Fans got to see Sting work a live in-ring match for the first time in six years at the AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view event when he teamed up with Darby Allin against Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky. 

Sky hit a suplex to Sting on the entrance ramp, but Sting no sold it and shoved Sky off the stage before performing a dive off the top of the stage. At one point, Sting did a code red spot.  Sting looked good and quick in the ring. Sting hit the Scorpion Death Drop on Sky for the win. 

Sky and Page had set their sights on Allin and Sting in recent weeks. After Allin confronted them during a promo, Sky and Page attacked Allin, throwing him down a flight of stairs. Eventually, Sting came to Allin’s side. 

Sting’s previous live in-ring match came in the way of a loss to then-WWE World Champion Seth Rollins at the Night of Champions pay-per-view in 2015. He took a buckle bomb and suffered a neck injury. 

Sting did work a cinematic match alongside Allin against Brian Cage and Ricky Starks in a Street Fight at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view event in Jacksonville, Florida this past March. It was taped in advance and there was a ring set up in an abandoned warehouse.

Britt Baker Wins AEW Women’s Title At Double Or Nothing

Hikaru Shida put her AEW Women’s Championship on the line against Dr. Britt Baker at the AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view event in Jacksonville, Florida at Daily’s Place. 

The match had a technical feel to it in the early going. They went back and forth for a while. At the end of the match, Reba accidentally hit Baker with the crutch, and Shida pinned her for a near fall. Baker with the lockjaw submission finisher for the win. 

These two stars have been feuding for the past month with the storyline given by AEW President Tony Khan that Baker has racked up victories on Dark and Dark: Elevation, which has seen her rise in the women’s division rankings and earning the title shot. 

Over the past few months, Shida has defended the AEW Women’s title against Ryo Mizunami and Abadon. Her previous title defense came against Tay Conti on the April 21 edition of Dynamite. After this match, Baker came out and showed a graphic of her officially becoming the number one contender.

Time will tell whether AEW continues this feud or goes into a different direction heading into Wednesday’s Dynamite.

Lio Rush Debuts At AEW Double Or Nothing, Jungle Boy Wins Casino Battle Royale

All Elite Wrestling held its Casino Battle Royale with the winner guaranteed to get a shot at the AEW World Heavyweight Title at the AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view event. 

Those who competed in the match included Griff Garrison, Brian Pillman, 10, Stu Grayson, Nick Comoroto, Serpentico, Lee Johnson, Dustin Rhodes, Anthony Bowens, Max Caster, Penta El Zero Miedo, Isiah Kassidy, Marq Quen, Matt Sydal, Christian Cage, Matt Hardy, Powerhouse Hobbs, Evil Uno, Colt Cabana, Jungle Boy, and Aaron Solow. Lio Rush was revealed as the mystery participant.

Cage, Sydal, Hobbs, Rhodes and Caster were the first 5 entrants. Sydal and Caster were the first two eliminations. Rush was quickly eliminated by Hardy.  The final 5 were Hardy, Private Party, Cage, and Jungle Boy. The final two were Cage and Jungle Boy, which saw Jungle Boy emerge victoriously. 

Rush was released from WWE last year along with several other wrestlers due to budget cuts during the COVID-19 pandemic but continued his career by working for MLW and now AEW. 

One name missing from this match was Rey Fenix and that’s due to him being on the sidelines with undisclosed injuries. It’s believed that he suffered the injuries from a recent match in Mexico. It’s also unknown how long he’ll be out. 

Time will tell when AEW has this star challenge for the AEW World Heavyweight Title. On this same show, Kenny Omega defended the top prize in the promotion against Orange Cassidy and PAC in a triple threat match.

The Bucks hit the Meltzer Driver to Moxley on the rampway and he was busted open on his forehead. At one point, Moxley locked in a rear-naked choke to Matt, but Nick hit a 450 splash to Moxley for a near fall. The finish saw Moxley take 4 BTE Triggers to drop the loss for his team. 

Back on the May 19th edition of Dynamite, Kingston and Moxley laid out The Young Bucks after they successfully defended the titles against The Varsity Blonds. Moxley and Kingston put them down with stereo sleeper holds then took off the Bucks’ Dior shoes and took them.

The Young Bucks previously defended the titles on pay-per-view was against Chris Jericho and MJF at the AEW Revolution event this past March. Last November, the Bucks won the tag team titles from FTR at the AEW Full Gear pay-per-view event last November.

Scorpio Sky Says ‘Someone In WWE’ Asked Him Not To Hurt Sting

AEW star Scorpio Sky recently appeared on the Sunday Night’s Main Event podcast. Sky discussed a number of topics on the show, including his Double or Nothing PPV match.

Scorpio Sky will be teaming up with Ethan Page to take on Darby Allin and ‘The Icon’ Sting at the event in a tag team match. This match will Sting’s first in-ring bout as part of the All Elite roster.

“Everyone in my generation grew up watching Sting,” Sky began on the podcast, discussing his match including the WCW legend. “I had a buddy of mine text me, he actually works for the other company (WWE), and he’s like, ‘Bro, Sting was my favorite wrestler growing up, don’t hurt him.’”

“I just laughed about that” Scorpio Sky continued, referring to the talk surrounding the previously retired Sting. “And you know, Sting was one of my favorite wrestlers growing up too. He can still go he still has that magic, when he all he has to do is walk out and there’s just something special about him.”

Scorpio Sky on Sting

Sting of course had to retire originally following a match against Seth Rollins at Night of Champions 2015. The Icon took two Bucklebomb moves that would essentially end his career, until he was confirmed as an AEW star back in December 2020.

“He has that IT factor. And he brings a lot to the table still even this late in his career” Sky noted, praising The Icon. “Again, I’m honored to be a part of it, and I think it’s gonna be a great match.”

“I have no hesitations about it” Sky revealed, talking about the match. “I think he is a professional. He’s an intelligent person and he wouldn’t be stepping into the ring if he wasn’t ready.”

“If he wasn’t medically cleared, emotionally cleared, mentally ready, I think he wouldn’t put himself in that position” Sky concluded.

Britt Baker vs. Hikaru Shida Set For AEW Double Or Nothing

All Elite Wrestling has announced the first match for their upcoming Double Or Nothing pay-per-view event. 

On Wednesday’s episode of Dynamite, it was confirmed that Hikaru Shida will defend the AEW Women’s Championship against Britt Baker.  This comes as Baker has won five straight television matches with notable victories AEW Dark: Elevation and Dynamite.

On Wednesday’s edition of All Elite Wrestling’s flagship show, she beat Julia Hart in a quick squash match.  Baker has stated that she was climbing up the rankings in an attempt to get a championship opportunity. Now, that will happen. 

It was also announced on this show that AEW World Heavyweight Champion Kenny Omega’s opponent at Double Or Nothing will be determined by the winner of next week’s PAC vs. Orange Cassidy match. 

The AEW Double Or Nothing pay-per-view event will take place on Sunday, May 30, 2021 in Jacksonville, Florida at Daily’s Place. 

The event is expected to begin at 8 p.m. ET and stream live on the BR Live platform in the United States. All Elite Wrestling will be announcing more matches in the coming weeks.

AEW Double Or Nothing Trending To Do Big PPV Numbers

Official buys for AEW Double or Nothing are not currently available but several signs are pointing to the possibility that it could have done better than any other PPV in company history. This is coming off of the UFC’s last PPV trending to have done big numbers as well.

According to a report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, estimates of PPV purchases for the show sit at 115,000 to 120,000 buys, which would rank it just over last year’s Double or Nothing. The report notes that streaming numbers for B/R Live in the United States and FITE internationally are up 10-15% from previous shows. If a similar trend is seen from cable purchases, that would put this year’s Double or Nothing ahead of last year’s, which was the most purchased show in company history. Last year’s event was the first-ever AEW PPV and was headlined by Chris Jericho vs Kenny Omega.

During his segment on Dynamite, Cody referenced the PPV having exceeded expectations as well.

Cable purchases of AEW’s last PPV, Revolution on February 29th, are not yet available for comparison, however. The event was headlined by Jon Moxley challenging Chris Jericho for the AEW World Championship.
