AEW Double or Nothing returns in 2026 with four title matches.
With Memorial Day weekend approaching, AEW fans are gearing up for the eighth edition of Double or Nothing. As noted, the PPV will take place during the Memorial Day weekend on Sunday, May 24, at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York, U.S.A.
The pay-per-view is among AEW’s ‘Big Five’ events, a group that includes All In, All Out, Full Gear, and Revolution.
Multiple major title showdowns, along with the men’s and women’s Owen Hart Cup quarterfinals matches, are announced for the show, and here is a detailed preview along with timings and telecast details.
Among the matches announced for the show, the AEW International title match, where Kazuchika Okada will defend the title against Konosuke Takeshita, while AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR (Cash Wheeler & Dax “The Axe” Harwood) will defend their titles against Christian Cage and Adam Copeland, collectively known as Cage and Cope, in an I Quit match.
However, the match carries a major stipulation: if Cope and Cage lose, they will be forced to retire as a tag team.
On the other hand, Thekla will defend the AEW Women’s World title in a fatal four-way match against Hikaru Shida, Jamie Hayter, and Kris Statlander. The match will mark the first time in history that four women who have held the AEW Women’s World title will compete for the title.
A 14-man Stadium Stampede match has also been added to the card where Jericho, The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin), and The Elite (Kenny Omega, “Jungle” Jack Perry, Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson) will take on The Demand (Ricochet, Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona), The Don Callis Family (Mark Davis & Andrade El Idolo), and The Dogs (Clark Connors & David Finlay).
Two quarter-final matches for the men’s Owen Hart Foundational Tournament have also been announced. Samoa Joe will take on Will Ospreay, while Bandido battles Swerve Strickland. In the women’s Owen Hart Tournament Quarterfinal match, Willow Nightingale collides with Alex Windsor.
Furthermore, the AEW World title rematch is finally announced as reigning Champion Darby Allin defends against former Champion MJF in a title vs hair match, which means if Darby wins, MJF will have to shave his head. The match is one of the main attractions for the PPV and is likely going to headline the event.
