"just an absolutely incredible event, so grateful i was able to be in person at this one, will forever remember that day!"

"I haven't even gotten to the end and this is one of the better AEW pay-per-views. Singles match after singles match between people you actually want to see wrestling. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?"

[10.0] "My first Double or Nothing I truly loved. No match bored me, some were predictable but I reckon they knew that as well so they really decided to have fun in those matches. I had no doubt Will would be Joe for example, but they still had a fun match. The thing I loved about this show was every match was good. No stinkers, it was just a great vibe throughout. I love the set and by god the crowd was fantastic. Proof that a crowd really does dictate how a show FEELS"

[9.0] "Fantastischer PPV der bei mir nur wegen Nuancen an der 10 vorbei schrabbt. Guter Opener, die Stipulation hat dem Match auf jeden Fall gut getan. Cage unterhaltsam wie immer. Copes Schwächen konnten gut verborgen werden. Die Eingriffe von Beth und Stokely wurden gut umgesetzt. Tolles Match. Takeshita gegen Okada war richtig stark. Bestes von beiden bei AEW würde ich fast schon sagen. Die drei Owen Hart Cup Matches waren anständig bis gut. Die der Männer noch ein wenig besser als Athena gegen Shirkawa. Gerade Swerve gegen Bandido war schon wirklich gut. Auf jeden Fall ein guter Auftakt ins Turnier. Mox gegen KOR war dann das zu erwartende gute Match um die Fehde zu beenden. Mox kann O'Reilly endlich besiegen. Tolle kleine Fehde wo beide am Ende sehr gut aussehen. So muss es sein. Der Four Way um den Women's Titel war eine ganze Ecke besser als ich gedacht hätte. War wirklich gut und auch die Konfrontation zwischen Shida und Kris wurde weiter gut erzählt. Stadium Stampede war wrestlerisch sicher fast schon die Beste aber es gab für mich zu wenig drum herum, was sie anderen Matches so ausmachte. Beim Aufeinandertreffen von Lashley und Rush musste ich aber sehr lachen. Das war schon gut. MOTN ist für mich der Main Event. Allin und MJF rocken die Bude ordentlich ab. Tolles Match der beiden. Titelwechsel hier auch vollkommen ok. Tolle Regendschaft von Darby. Insgesamt ein fantastischer PPV."

[10.0] "The best pro wrestling show i have ever been to. I had a blast from start to finish and it was just a phenomenal show. I Love AEW."

[9.0] "This event was awesome! From the beginning to the end. One of the best PPV ever in my opinion, packed with the best performers, giving the best of themselves. I especially liked the Stadium Stampede Match"

[7.0] "First things first--this is a thoroughly solid affair, with no missteps or weaknesses. But it's a fucking five hours long--that's way too much. It gets off to a promising start, the opener is instantly recognizable, and the two Japanese wrestlers show off their talent. This is followed by a few solid mid-tier matches, all of which are worth watching, but which--in my opinion--are overloaded with relevance and, in some cases, scheduled to be significantly too long. I can still do without Stadium Stampede--it's too wild and chaotic for my taste, and despite its hardcore attitude, it's way too comedic. The last match is perfectly fine in its own right, but by then I'm already overwhelmed by all the impressions and can barely take anything in anymore. It's a well-rounded show when served in small doses, but almost impossible to watch all at once."

[9.0] "Probably the best AEW ppv this year. No blood due to restrictions saved it for me. 9.5/10 just to have space for higher ratings in future. Great wrestling, no fillers, Fletcher return, Kevin heel turn. Really good show"

[10.0] "Es wurde schon vieles über diese Show gesagt und berichtet und ich habe mir die richtige Bewertung lange überlegt aber letztendlich gehe ich mit der 10 mit. Es war einer der besten AEW PPVs aller zeiten und das hat einiges zu sagen, bedenkt man den Run, den sie aktuell haben. Auch bei dieser Show war das Pacing hervorragend, da man sehr viel Abwechslung auf der Card hatte. Der Opener war ganz gut aber noch nicht so ganz mein Match. Dennoch ganz gute Spannung und Dramatik mit dem zu erwartenden Titelwechsel. Takeshita vs. Okada ist das erste fantastische Match dieser Show und mein MOTN. Ich habe es zwar nicht auf MOTYC gefühlt aber es war dennoch sehr gut und das cleane Finish für Takeshita war genau das, was er gebraucht hat. Athena vs. Mina war ordentlich und dennoch das schwächste Match der Show, was nochmal die absurd hohe Qualität unterstreicht. Mox vs. O'Reilly etwas überraschend unter 20 Minuten nach ihrem vorherigen Timie Limit Draw aber dennoch gut. Ospreay vs. Joe fand ich dann richtig klasse, genau mein Ding. Ospreay sprintet sofort los und attackiert Joe, der sichtlich +überrumpelt wird und erstmal den Ref anpöbelt, nachdem er sich Lust verschafft hat, großartig. Swerve vs. Bandido ebenfalls richtig gut und hier auch zum ersten mal mit diesem krassen Deadlift 21-Plex, der großartig aussah. Thekla vs. Shida vs. Hayter vs. Stat fand ich auch ganz gut aber ohne viel Spannung. Das Stadium Stampede Match hat für mich over delivered. Ich hatte überhaupt keine Lust darauf und war bereit das Match nicht zu mögen aber dann haben sie mich mit diversen Spots doch gekriegt. Der Main Event war dann fantastisch und ein großartiges Finish dieser Show. Es gibt etliche Callbacks und am Ende wird Darbys Frequenz als harten Matches ihm zum Verhängnis, von der Story her perfekt erzählt."

[9.0] "What a damn good show this was. So many great matches. For me the best match was Okada vs Takashita. Definitely go out of your way to watch that match alone. Honestly if you can just Definitely watch this whole show. It was definitely worth my time. Highly recommend."

[10.0] "This was one of the best wrestling cards I've ever seen. Not a single match on this card was bad or even mediocre. The first match was really good and intriguing, with a lot of fun involved. [9/10], then the second match with Takeshita was a MOTYC [10/10], the 3rd match with Athena was probably the weakest match, but still not even a bad match [8/10]. I then loved the match between O'Reily and Mox with some great technical wrestling. [9/10]. Ospreay vs. Joe was another great match and some great wrestling [9/10]. Swerve vs. Bandido was in my opinion a little bit better than Joe vs. Will by just a tiny margin, and exceeded my expectations [9/10]. The Fatal 4-Way also exceeded my expectations and was honestly a pretty good match [5/10]. Then I really liked the Stadium Stampede match between the two teams with awesome entrances, and some fun wrestling [9/10]. Then I really loved Darby vs. MJF with some awesome spots, and had some great wrestling for a worthy main event of a great card [10/10]. An awesome wrestling event that will be talked about for a long time as one of AEW's best events, and has caused some buzz in the wrestling world."

[10.0] "[9.9] AEW's Double or Nothing 2026 ends up being another landmark show for AEW. 95% of this card have no misses. Not exactly scale breakers like DoN & All In Texas 2025 but an absolutely perfect show. Start to finish an extremely enjoyable show. This whole show in general is a highlight and will go down in the history books as another all-timer wrestling show. AEW continues it's hot streak as the #1 wrestling promotion in the world when it comes to quality and consistency."

[9.0] "I don't know if this was THE best PPV in AEW history or maybe even in all of wrestling history, but it was definitely way up there. I can't remember a PPV with such a high number of good to very good matches complete without any outliers. A must-see for every wrestling fan."

[10.0] "[10.0] Not a bad match on the card. It was a thrill ride, start to finish, with some match of the year contenders for me in Swerve V Bandido, Ospreay V Joe, Takeshita V Okada, Cage and Cope V FTR, and of course the main event. This card was filled to the brim with masterpieces like those, and everything that wasn't a 10 or 11 out of 10 was at the least an 8 for me. Maybe the least exciting match on the card was Mina and Athena, they'd already fought, their feud wasn't too too hot imo even if it resulted in a good match at death before dishonor. But this one was very good too, they filled the slot really well and provoded a pretty broad showcase of the best of both women in a condensed fashion. And that was the 'least hyped' match on the card. Other AEW classics have stinkers on the card, take All Out 2021, famous in AEW circles as one of the best ever wherein Adam Cole and Bryan Danielson would debut, but it also had The Big Show versus Q.T. Marshall. In other, shorter words, this is as good if not better than that show was, and it doesn't have a stinker, there's no mid or filler, it all slaps. I'd still rank this just below All In 2023 because it came at such a special point in my life and I'll always love that show, but if anyone were to tell me Double or Nothing 2026 was AEWs best show, hell, if anyone were to say this were their favorite show ever regardless? They'd get no argument from me, this was pure class. 10/10"

[10.0] "I'll keep this very short: Absolutely zero hyperbole that was one of the greatest events in the history of pro wrestling. Period. Absolutely unreal. AEW always puts on great PPVs but this was on another level. This was even better than both last years DON and All In Texas. I'm speechless. Truly one for the ages that you simply MUST see if you missed it live."

[10.0] "Das war alles in allem eine All Timer Show! Das Niveau über alle Stunden war einfach unglaublich hoch. Mit Takeshita gegen Okada gab es mein bisheriges Match of the Year. Ich kann mich kaum erinnern, wann ich das letzte Mal so viel Spaß an einer Wrestling Show hatte"

[10.0] "My first PPV literally ever and, man, I got my money's worth. An incredibly consistent show. The title defenses (ESPECIALLY the International title match), The Men's Owen Hart tourney matches, and The Stadium Stampede (I initially didn't care that much but was pleasantly surprised) were all amazing. Been a fan of AEW for a good month now and I do not at all regret following this company, so far."

[10.0] "One of the best experiences ever for a professional wrestling show. I was there live and it was electric. Not one bad or mid match all night."

[8.0] "I liked the show, the main problem with it is that...it was repetitive? Everybody forgets to sell, they all do 45 moves that could be finishers per match and then everybody kicks out and starts screaming for no reason. Plus every match was being sold like their most important match of their life. Even if they were not wrestling for the World title. Even if they weren't throwing themselves off a stage in trying to stay World Champion, they were just 'fighting'. What guarantees me if those same people had their mozt important match last PPV and weren't gonna have their most important match the next PPV too? Idk why I thought this watching the show, but I felt like I was watching all samey stuff, even if enjoyable"

[10.0] "It was a great show i had a wonderful time and i will want to go back to another all elite wrestling show again soon"

[10.0] "This was the greatest pay-per-view I have had the pleasure of watching live. When MJF said that Tony Khan ensures that you get your money's worth when it comes to these events, he wasn't lying. Okada vs. Takeshita is my personal match of the year pick. HOWEVER, my main gripe with AEW at the moment is that they clearly have no clue what to do with the women's division, and this show kinda confirmed that for me, as the two women's matches were the weakest of the night rating-wise. Watching live was electric though and I am very happy I got to see it."

[5.0] "Like most AEW shows, this was a mixture of some genuinely good stuff with some mostly really mediocre stuff. Remove at least 3 of the weaker matches and this show goes up to being alright, especially if the Stadium Stampede is one of them. FTR vs Copeland & Cage was a pretty generic hardcore match, with lots of bland brawling and a bunch of totally generic weapon/prop spots. I did like the barbed wire usage and the flaming table bump, but other stuff looked far too light. Beth's cheesy and overproduced run-in save plus Copeland and Christian being suckered in by FTR's faux 'beg for mercy' routine sucked. At least there was a baseline intensity to carry this. **1/2. Okada vs Takeshita could've been great, but it felt like a bastardisation of Okada's NJPW style, without the meaningful storytelling or compelling selling to accompany the action, instead focussing solely on rapid big-move trades and egregious fighting-spirit displays. They were athletic enough and had strong enough chemistry to make that style work, and I really liked Okada's smug and arrogant heel work as usual, but for the most part this was still too mindless for me, and I still feel zero reason to invest in Takeshita as a character. ***1/4 - ***1/2. The post-match angle with Fletcher's return, fake siding with and then dramatic turn on Takeshita was effective as a means to introduce new directions and tease future stories for all 3 men. Athena vs Mina was okay. Mina is charismatic but simply not a good wrestler, as she constantly botches moves far beyond her ability. Athena's aggression, intensity, and slickness were all good as usual, as was her bumping, and she actually managed to keep her awfully hokey character work and selling to a minimum for once! I wish she sold her leg better, but she carried this match well. **1/2. Moxley vs O'Reilly had the blueprints of a really good match. Moxley's 'tough guy' routine wasn't too bad here, and he instead simply showcased his convincing grappling and brawling work, especially while targeting the leg. O'Reilly impressed with all his slick grappling and striking, though he needed another level of intensity, and his leg-selling was good The big issue here was that the crowd was dead for 80% of the match -- real "you can hear a pin drop" territory. They hooked the audience eventually, but only right at the end. **3/4. Joe vs Ospreay was quite good. While Ospreay still just mindlessly runs through a checklist of all his signature moves each match, he's indeed also still very athletic and flashy, and he managed to sell without falling into goofy melodrama territory. Joe was the real interest here though, with his aggressive and no-nonsense brawling style and his wonderfully dastardly arrogance. I'm usually lenient when it comes to selling a targeted neck, but with Ospreay having a well-documented IRL neck injury that sidelined him for ages, he really should've done better selling it in response to Joe's extensive targeting. Ospreay's overindulgences aside, this was quite good. ***1/4. Swerve vs Bandido was my MOTN. I expected it to be an overkill 50/50 bombfest, but it was surprisingly quite straightforward in both story and action. They had great chemistry as they combined their similar but distinctively flashy and athletic styles, doing well to progressively build to more exciting and truly creative exchanges and spots. There were still some annoying contrivances at points, but never anything overbearing. I also liked Swerve's more aggressive beatdown work and Bandido's corresponding babyface-selling, especially as Swerve targeted the neck. With a less severe neck injury compared to Ospreay's, I was far more accepting of Bandido's relative 'no-selling' of it, though he still made some effective and meaningful efforts anyways. I also really appreciated them not dragging the match out with a million 'epic' trades and near falls, instead having Swerve simply capitalise on his earlier neck-targeting with some big moves to earn the win. ***1/2. Thekla vs Shida vs Hayter vs Statlander was fine. Multi-man matches are inherently limited because of their predictable structure and all the really contrived and cheesy multi-man sequences and spots. I won't deny there was a bit of creativity here, but the interactions were always far too contrived to feel compelling. AJ vs Joe vs Daniels, this certainly was not. At least Hayer still has, good intensity and impact, and both Thekla and Statlander were okay, but Shida is still very clumsy and unconvincing. **1/2. The Stadium Stampede match was the first truly bad match on the show, since it was almost entirekly just a series of goofy comedy bits and ridiculously orchestrated spots one after the other, with any actual wrestling being very weak and tame. The whole AEW Arena/Stadium brawl stipulation is done to death, with the draw always being the stipulation itself rather than the feuds or wrestlers. As such, none of the wrestlers injected any heat or intensity into this, instead turning the match into a joke or a mindless spectacle. *3/4. Darby vs MJF was pretty good. I really liked the character work with Darby as the scrappy and determined underdog babyface against MJF as the aggressive and vicious heel. On top of that were some impressively dangerous bumps from Darby, making for the engaging story of his mounting pain and exhaustion eventually overcoming his daredevil durability. I did wish Darby had sold that carnage more effectively in the first half, plus that MJF didn't eventually delve into his goofier selling. I'd also hoped that the finish could've had an extra twist to it, since it otherwise felt more straightforward than it should've been. ***1/4 - ***1/2. Knight's shocking post-match turn on Darby was effective as a means to draw even further sympathy for Darby on top of his defeat, plus to give him a new direction to eventually go now that he's lost the World Title."

[9.0] "What a Tag title I Quit match to start the show! All 4 competitors were excellent. A Spike Piledriver through the commentators' desk! Didn't get the chair on a cinder block spot though. Okada-Takeshita was also awesome. Disklike the kickout after 1 after the finisher but unfortunately that's one of AEW's downpoints. Ospreay-Joe was awesome... Swerve-Bandido was epic! Really good women's 4-way aside from all those consecutive pin attempts early on. The Stadium Stampede was fun - nice to see a lot of indie wrestlers backstage."

[10.0] "Might be a bit biased here since I was at the event live with some of my buddies, but this PPV was amazing. Everything on the card was great and felt like it was right where it belonged. Those two opening matches fired the crowd right up, and they were unforgettable. On the topic of the crowd, the crowd was white-hot ALL NIGHT LONG, it was incredible. They didn't get exhausted at all. The event had it all; returns, betrayals, tables on fire, and a comically large tennis racket. A night that I will never forget. AEW really did their thing with this show."

[10.0] "The greatest wrestling show I've ever attended live. I sat across from a clock on the tennis scoreboard. I checked it right before showtime and didn't notice it again until 1 hour and 58 mins into the show. It felt like time stood still. The first two matches among the greatest opening two matches ever on a PPV. The two Owen male matches were incredible. MJF vs Darby and Stadium Stampede home runs. Every other match on the show was pretty good. Truly a flawless night and dream crowd. Maybe my fav wrestling show ever but def my fav live experience."

[10.0] "An absolute masterpiece from start to finish! Easily one of the best PPVs in AEW history with incredible match quality, flawless pacing, and an electric crowd. This show truly proved that AEW is where the best wrestle and the best wrestling promotion in the world. Loved every second. My rating: 10/10"

[9.0] "[9.5] So here is my take on this card: Following a very rough wrestlemania in which we saw more ad's than wrestling this event delivered for me everything that I would of expected from double or nothing and than some. This was for me a easy 9.5 or 10 but I will give you a bit on my thoughts here one by one. AEW World Tag Team Title I Quit Match - So going into this it was very clear the crowd was hot. I was interested to see how they were going to make use of the stadium as ive gone for tennis and right away it was apparent to me that they were going to use every inch of the stadium. Before I get to far into to this match it should be noted that the set design team did an amazing job matching the scaffolding of the city to the stage. Sometimes less is more. As for this match it was pretty clear going in that cope and cage were going to have it and so for me this match did exactly what it was supposed to do and got the show off strong. Solid 8 or 9 AEW International Title Match - So this was the first of a few matches going into tonight that I thought could go either way. There is a reason why each time these two fight it is a five star + match. This once again delivered on that. It was great booking in terms of show flow to go from the chaotic match of the I quit tag to a more slow building match that didn't lose the crowd or the heat along the way. this was a 10 for me only because my expectations were so high and they were met. Owen Hart Foundation 2026 Women's Tournament Quarter Final Match - So this match was always going to have an uphill battle to stand out on a card this strong. Let me start this by saying that by no means was this match bad or even not enjoyable. It just falls victim to being on a card that had SO MANY OTHER great matches. I am from the maryland area so ROH is close to my heart. Athena is great. The match was good. But in fairness i am giving it a solid 7 only because of how good the rest of the card was. AEW Continental Title No Time Limit Match - So this match is one where again I thought the match was really good but unlike Okada and Takeshita it didn't quite get to surpassing my expectations. They were met and that was great and the match was fine. My only gripe with this one is the stipulation if your going to slap a no time limit stip on a match and than have it only go 18 minutes than what did we really accomplish. I will give it a 7 because I thought the match was enjoyable but also knocking it down due to stipulation and just rest of the card. Owen Hart Foundation 2026 Men's Tournament Quarter Final Match - I am doing these as a group block but will give individual ratings. (My thought for this block was they would do them back to back in basically a 30 min block which happened) Lets start with Will Ospreay and Samoa Joe so look anytime Ospreay is in the ring my expectations are going to be high. They were met, they were exceeded, joe looked great match was fun it was a solid like 9 for me. HOWEVER we need to talk about the other half of this Swerve Strickland (w/Prince Nana) vs Bandido this match I thought could be good, I did not see it being a quiet possible match of the night stealer good. The moves that these two pulled off together was nothing short of well beyond my own expectations. I know how good Swerve is and bandido is but i wasn't sure if it would work togehter well it worked amazingly so this is a 9.5 AEW Women's World Title Four Way Match - This match was a good womens match. It had zero to no build, and had to follow some amazing matches. It was fine but on a card that was stacked it got burried which was always going to happen. I will give this match a 7.5 only because I felt that it was given an impossible task and it just felt kind of off. Stadium Stampede Match - this is going to be the match that everyone either loved or hated. For me I find this match a staple of AEW in a way that is sometimes needed in wrestling as a reminder not to take it so seriously. I thought the match was great. I thought they were limited as oppsoed to other editions of this match by being in a tennis arena but I think they did it justice. It was fun, It set the stage for what was coming in a heavy match. Spots were good its a 9 for me cause I enjoyed it. AEW World Title Vs. Hair Match - So where do we begin here. First this was a huge moment for AEW has had been brought up with two home grown stars main eventing DoN and that shouldn't be understated. For me the best outcome from a booking stand point was the result we got to set up for osprey vs MJF at All in. That being said the concept of MJF being bald was hilarious. I think MJF is one of the best heels in all of wrestling and he loves doing it. I think it is also worth noting that Darbi did a lot with a "short title reign" but he also made that championship a fighting belt. I love darbi and I love MJF the match was great i thought they both looked good to me this was a 10. Overall - As a fan of AEW and WWE and all wrestling really and having grown up in the business Double or nothing usually always delivers for me. To me this was much better than last year and thus it earns a solid 9.5 out of 10 a few botches yes, a few hiccups sure however my friend who is not a wrestling fan at all sat thru the entire ppv and was cheering and into it which tells me AEW did a great job here."

[10.0] "This was one of the best PPVs I've ever watched from start to finish. Every single match hit in a good way without some being absolutely excellent. The first two matches on the show may be the best first two matches on any show ever. Truly incredible."

[10.0] "One of the most amazing wrestling events of all time by far. A loveletter to this business. I feel i give not enough money to this company because they give me so much..."

[10.0] "9 matches ranging from decent to all time classic. I was super happy with who was put over and the direction the storylines were pushed. It has the amount of notable spots and matches of 2 PPVs in one, its just unbelievably consistent, and immediately has gone as an instant classic of a show."

[10.0] "I had high expectations for Double or Nothing this year, and they were definitely exceeded. Probably the most consistent and incredible pay-per-view I've ever seen. One of the best events in wrestling history. Simply spectacular."

[9.0] "What a show! This one of the best shows I've seen in ages. I felt all matches delivered despite the two women's matches was slightly underwhelming. I was there live I would have bumped this up to a 10/10. Wow!"

[10.0] "Wrestling Show of the Year! One of the Best I've ever seen! Stadium Stampede MUST Main Event next Year, that Chaos and Carnage needs to be the Final Big Bang of the Show. Will Ospreay versus Samoa Joe was A Dream match made Real. Match of the Night for me: Okada vs. Takeshita. A 5 Star Banger, and the Return of the Protostar Kyle Fletcher. That's Pure Love for the Wrestling Business."

[10.0] "A great show. 4 hours of great wrestling that I really enjoyed a lot. I've never felt annoyed and everything was pretty entertaining. I loved that MJF is champion again and I loved the burning table in the opener. Great great show 10/10"

[10.0] "This was a 10 star show to me, AEW just keeps delivering high quality PPVs and matches. The I Quit Match with Cage and Cope, Takeshita and Okada, Stadium Stampede and the main event were all highlights to me. I was happy to see Mick Foley on screen again as well. The women's matches felt a little weaker but not due to the talent involved, I just think they were overshadowed by other matches that were just so much better. Amazing crowd too that were hyped throughout and added to the excitement and atmosphere. As a wrestling fan, this was incredibly entertaining and it was nice to not have a barrage of ads, interference and celebrities. AEW consistently reminds me of why I enjoy pro wrestling so much in the first place."

"[10.0] This is easily one of the Best PPVs I have ever been to in person and seen live. AEW have nailed it down to every match being great or above great or even having some legendary matches. The consistent match quality in the product is unbelievable. Being there front row and also using my meta glasses to record some amazing videos, being a part of the ALL ELITE VIP package, it was an incredible experience along with an incredible show. I hope they keep it up after this. One to remember for the ages! 10/10 Pay Per View!"

[8.0] "excellent show overall, not many misses on the card and was an absolutely electric crowd to be a part of live. only things holding this back from a 10 for me were the generally iffy nature of the women's matches, which is a frustration i have had with AEW for years at this point, the sheer length of the stadium stampede match (which was needed to get the crowd hyped up but 31 minutes is very, very, very long), and a fairly deflating ending that does serve narrative purpose, but... it's a bit of a bummer to bring Mick Foley in to kick things off and tell Darby to 'go win one for the weirdos! ' only for him to lose and give the title right back to MJF. and i really wanted to see MJF bald. admittedly. will probably raise this depending on where things go in the future though and i do think this'll go down as a real all-timer for AEW for a LOT of people. bring wrestling back to NYC, dude."

[10.0] "This show makes you love wrestling again like when you were a kid, the perfect balance between ending storylines and creating new ones... pro wrestling done right it looks like this."

[10.0] "In terms of pure wrestling entertainment, this is the best PPV I've ever seen in my life. They've managed to keep me attentive at all times."

[10.0] "[10/10] Ummm.. Yeah no need to tune in, just one of the best wrestling shows produced in the last 5 years. There are certain shows that you can show to new fans to automatically get them hooked, this 1000% goes into that class of Elites. One of the greatest crowds in AEW history, Banger match after banger matches with good time, 3 possible Match of the Year contenders, Great laughs, Surprises, No Celebrities shoved down throat, Great storylines. THIS IS PRO WRESTLING DONE PROPERLY"

[10.0] "I don't know if it's the best PPV I've ever seen, but a better show is not springing to mind. Absolutely phenomenal. I don't know how they keep topping themselves. Swerve/Bandido and Okada/Takeshita were both five-star matches. The main event might have been as well. Opening tag got damn close. Loved it."

[10.0] "Well what can I say all though this PPV started off a bit slow and can be a little too long this was another amazing wrestling experience that I am glad to stay up late for. With amazing in-ring action in the Okada vs Takeshita match to the Kyle Fletcher heel turn, The amazing stadium stampede to the main event with MJF and Darby (Sad that we won't see Max bald) and we even got a post match heel turn with Kevin Knight. All around its an amazing PPV. 10/10"

[10.0] "This could well be the best PPV of the 2020s, if not the 21st century. So many matches on this show could be considered the best match on the card; the crowd was fantastic throughout, and we had some great moments peppered in at the right times. Swerve hitting a house call whilst atop Bandido's shoulders is one of the most impressive spots I've ever seen. The Kyle Fletcher return and face turn fake-out was executed very well, and came after a stellar torch-passing match between Takeshita and Okada. The final angle with Kevin Knight surprisingly turning heel made me want to watch Dynamite after the show. This was everything a PPV should be from a promotion at the top of its game at the moment."

[9.0] "Einer DER besten PPVs aller Zeiten. Matchqualität, ausser den Frauenmatches, ist enorm Hoch. Stakes ebenfalls. Opener und Mainevent haben krasse Stakes, viel Spannung und teils überraschende Resultate. Sehr viel Abwechslung an Matcharten, ich muss hier nicht viel drum rum reden, es ist einfach ein Banger PPV. Take vs Okada ist eines der besten Matches dieses Jahres. Negativpunkt ist und bleibt die Womens Division. Die Matches sind einfach nicht gut genug oder Relevant, was man bei all dem Lob das AEW und Tony Khan bekommen, immer Berücksichtigen muss. Ich hoffe hier wird mehr Fokus drauf gelegt."

[10.0] "Fast paced action and an amazing atmosphere are the recipe for one of the best wrestling shows ever made. And no one does pay-per-view like All Elite Wrestling because they know what a pro wrestling fan wants when they pay their money to attend a show or watch it at home. Being in this crowd gives the PPV a whole other level of greatness, but the energy came through the live broadcast very well. From preshow to main event, the show never stops, constant runtime, no ad breaks, and amazing match after amazing match to the point where you the viewer are almost overwhelmed at how much is happening. The overall aesthetic and feel of this show was also top notch. A NYC themed show with incredible match graphics and a minimalistic stage that able to encompass the "New York feel" in such a small area. If only the women's matches had more of a story going into it besides "this will be a good match", it would've been a 11/10 show. On this night, New York showed up and AEW showed out. If Tony is smart he runs Louis Armstrong Stadium or NYC every year for a big show. Just next time make sure the process of getting into and out of the building doesn't take a million years."

[9.0] "Amazing PPV. Top to bottom this card really delivered. MJF remains the top draw in the company. Really enjoyed Darbys run and I thought it capped off here as the perfect way to end it."

[10.0] "AEW Double or Nothing 2026 hat eindrucksvoll gezeigt, warum die Pay-per-Views der Liga weiterhin zu den beliebtesten Wrestling-Events gehören. Die Veranstaltung bot von Anfang bis Ende starke Matches, intensive Storylines und zahlreiche überraschende Momente, die den Abend extrem unterhaltsam machten. Besonders das Main Event zwischen MJF und Darby Allin sorgte für große Aufmerksamkeit. Durch die , , Titel gegen Haare"-Stipulation stand enorm viel auf dem Spiel, was dem Match zusätzliche Spannung verlieh. Beide Wrestler lieferten eine emotionale und harte Performance ab. Darby überzeugte erneut mit seinem riskanten Stil, während MJF seine Rolle als arroganter Taktiker perfekt ausspielte. Das Finish unterstrich einmal mehr, warum MJF aktuell zu den besten Performern im Main Event-Bereich zählt. Auch die restliche Matchcard konnte sich mehr als sehen lassen. Konosuke Takeshita gegen Kazuchika Okada war technisch herausragend und für viele Fans sogar das beste Wrestling-Match des gesamten Abends. Ebenso stark war das Duell zwischen Will Ospreay und Samoa Joe, bei dem unterschiedliche Wrestling-Stile hervorragend miteinander harmonierten. Das Stadium Stampede Match brachte dagegen genau das pure Chaos und die verrückten Aktionen, die man von AEW erwartet. Ein großer Pluspunkt der Show war das Timing der Matches. Obwohl die Veranstaltung sehr lang war, wirkte sie kaum langweilig oder gezogen, weil nahezu jedes Match Bedeutung hatte und laufende Geschichten sinnvoll weiterentwickelte. Zusätzlich sorgte das Publikum in Queens mit lautstarker Unterstützung für eine großartige Atmosphäre während des gesamten Events. Natürlich gab es auch kleinere Kritikpunkte. Manche Szenen im Stadium Stampede wirkten etwas überladen und dürften nicht jeden Zuschauer angesprochen haben. Außerdem hätten einige Matches ruhig noch ein paar zusätzliche Minuten bekommen können, um ihr volles Potenzial auszuschöpfen. Trotzdem bleibt am Ende ein äußerst positives Gesamtbild. Double or Nothing 2026 war eines der stärksten AEW-Events der letzten Jahre und kombinierte Emotionen, Härte, spektakuläre Aktionen und wichtige Entwicklungen in den Storylines auf sehr hohem Niveau. Für AEW war dieser PPV ein enorm wichtiger Erfolg vor dem kommenden Sommerprogramm."

[10.0] "AEW Double or Nothing 2026 felt like a reminder of why AEW pay-per-views still have such a strong reputation. From top to bottom, the show delivered a mix of brutal storytelling, incredible in-ring performances, and the kind of unpredictability that makes wrestling exciting. The main event between MJF and Darby Allin absolutely lived up to the hype. The "title vs. hair" stipulation added real drama, and both guys worked with a level of intensity that made the match feel huge. Darby's reckless offense and MJF's calculated arrogance created an emotional rollercoaster, and the ending cemented MJF as one of the best big-match performers in wrestling today. The show was stacked with standout matches. Konosuke Takeshita vs. Kazuchika Okada was phenomenal and arguably match of the night from a pure wrestling standpoint. Will Ospreay vs. Samoa Joe was another excellent clash of styles, while the Stadium Stampede delivered the chaotic insanity fans expect from AEW. One of the biggest strengths of the event was pacing. Even though it was a long show, it rarely dragged because every match felt important and advanced a story. The crowd in Queens was also fantastic and added to the atmosphere throughout the night. If there's one criticism, it's that some of the overbooked moments in the Stadium Stampede may not work for everyone, and a few matches could have benefited from slightly more time. Still, those are minor complaints on a show packed with memorable moments. Overall, Double or Nothing 2026 was one of AEW's strongest PPVs in recent years -- a show filled with emotion, violence, athleticism, and major storyline progression. AEW needed a major win heading into the summer, and they absolutely delivered."

[10.0] "I fell in love with pro wrestling again just because of AEW and this Double or Nothing felt like the wedding ceremony."

[8.0] "Can there be such a thing as too much good wrestling? To me it certainly feels like it. A great show, not one bad match. Even tough, it just felt like five hours of the same. All enjoyable, anything but a waste of time. Maybe it is just me who is not too deep in anything AEW. Joe vs. Ospreay is my match of night - just fun! Props to the crowd who went for it basically non-stop... incredible atmosphere!"

[10.0] "Yesterday in New York City, a wrestling festival like no other took place, a PPV that will go down in history. I missed most of the I Quit Match, but what little I saw convinced me of the match's purpose. FTR flirting with the edge of cheating, Beth Phoenix appearing to help her husband, explicit violence. Konosuke and Okada gave a masterclass; they've managed to export a specific style of wrestling like never before to an audience that isn't their own. It was undoubtedly the match of the year, with a great storyline that unfolded slowly, not to mention the return of Kyle Fletcher. The Owen Hart Tournament matches had their high points; perhaps I expected a little more from Samoa Joe vs. Ospreay. Bandido and Swerve showcased moves never seen before; they are two spectacular wrestlers. Jon Moxley and O'Reilly did the same thing they did in their Dynamite match, quite similar but with a different outcome. In the Fatal 4-Way, the women did a great job, especially Hikaru Shida's shenanigans. The Stadium Stampede match felt like one of the weaker ones of the night. I feel like it's a stipulation that always has the same structure: the heels are humiliated and beaten down in a thousand different ways until only one remains, and then everyone humiliates him. Since he was there, it wouldn't have been difficult to simply hit Ricochet with the Lionsault to end the match. Also, Mark Davis surviving being hit by a bus is something you wouldn't even see in Mortal Kombat. MJF and Darby Allin was another great match. This marks the end of Darby's short but magnificent reign. He wrestled with the intelligence he's gathered in all his matches these last four weeks, but he couldn't defeat MJF. We'll see what happens now with Kevin Knight, who has already told Darby not to let him down in this match. I think it was a very well-structured PPV, and AEW nailed it. Even the weaker matches are quite entertaining. Without a doubt, the best PPV of the year and one of the best I can remember in many years."

[9.0] "Probably AEW's best PPV of the year so far. The show had a bit of everything and somehow never felt exhausting despite the long runtime. Okada vs Takeshita honestly felt just as worthy of the main event spot and ended up being the standout match for me. Moxley vs O'Reilly was still good but definitely underwhelming. Stadium Stampede was pure chaos in the way. Both women's matches delivered but the division still feels a step behind. Very good show overall."

[10.0] "This is probably the best AEW PPV in its short history. It was incredible. Four hours that were a total blast to watch, because not a single match was a letdown. A great Double Or Nothing, which shows us that AEW has staying power with its wrestlers and storylines. A really solid product, to be honest."

[10.0] "The best PPV of all time for me, from the start to the finish, this is just BANGER after BANGER! Nothing to throw away, everything is perfect, the Okada/Takashita was just amazing to watch.. The Stadium Stampede was fun as hell, So Good to see Ospreay back in-shape.. And the Main Event just wow.. DARBY you are the man ! Go watch it please!"

[10.0] "I was in person for this, best show of the year. Stadium Stampede, Owen Hart matches, Okada/Takeshita, etc. etc. The house was torn down, awesome sold out crowd, barely a bad match on the card."

[10.0] "holy crap. I was so certain that revolution was going to be the apex of AEW pay-per-view's this year, with the slight chance that all in tops it, but jesus christ did this event dogwalk the rest of everything in 2026 thus far. everything from the stupidly heroic start with FTR VS cage and cope, back-to-back with my personal match of the night in okada vs takeshita, a beautiful close to okada's lackluster reign as international champion and the start of take's hopefully stellar reign, AND an amazing stadium stampede with all the cameos and crazy creative spots that went on? (Lio rush's cameo got the biggest pop out of me), AND swerve vs bandido in a crazy move-for-move showdown, then as if it couldnt get any better, MJF vs Darby is a beautifully worked clusterfuck of spots and chaos, all with great storytelling and darby allin risking his body for the millionth time, not to mention kevin knights turn shocking me out of my seat. I genuinely dont see an event topping this one this year, possibly all in, but holy s**t what a spectacle to watch live. 10/10 ppv."

[10.0] "Isn't it so, so crazy that for so long a ppv a quarter as good as this would have been heralded as incredible, an all timer. Now we get AEW, CMLL, STARDOM, putting on insane shows that blow people away on a monthly bases. Lucky time to be a wrestling fan. This ppv was amazing and a top quality AEW show amongst a sea of incredible events and matches. Perfect from start to finish, not too long, every match delivered."

[10.0] "It was just so fucking good. So so so fucking good. One of the best PPVs I've ever seen. Could be four 5-star matches on there and nearly all matches were 4 stars or better. Just insane up and down."

[10.0] "(10) very rarely do I give a show the full 10 out of 10 but this show absolutely rocked it. My favorite moments above all were the Takeshita vs Okada and Bandido vs Swerve matches which delivered incredible match quality. AEW's focus on match quality above all is incredibly refreshing in a world where wrestling elsewhere becomes solely about advertising and sponsors. AEW is delivering pro wrestling with no strings attached and with the simple focus on amazing wrestling throughout the night. This card featured so many incredible matches that amazing matches like Ospreay vs Joe and the Women's Fatal 4-Way go a bit shadowed but are still incredible moments in their own right. The Stadium Stampede was the only moment where I felt improvement could have been made but honestly it works as a great entertainment crossover to give the fans a break between hours of in-ring focus. The main event felt like a huge fight and one of the biggest AEW main events in the company's history so far. What an amazing moment with Allin jumping off the stage scaffolding through the table. With MJF on top again, it's time to gear up for the summer of AEW. Grade: A"

[10.0] "I've been out of the loop for a while and I watched this show the day after and I forgot what it feels like to just be pumped for an entire wrestling show, this show was incredible. The presentation was amazing, the crowd was incredible, the matches were top to bottom incredible. We had a hardcore tag team match, a strong style match, a slow burn pure wrestling submission match, the crazy 4 way, the fantastic party match, and the big time title match where i had no idea who would win."

[9.0] "A phenomenal show in terms of match quality, and certainly in the conversation for best AEW PPV to date. There are at least five or six matches on this show that I've heard different people say were their favorites of the night, and while I personally have to go with Okada-Takeshita in terms of in-ring performance, I have to give kudos to the main event for storytelling. Everything from Darby's shock title win through his madcap month-long reign through the successful build of the title vs. hair stip has been a joy to watch. They even closed the preshow with a phenomenal angle featuring the debuting Mick Foley, which I'm guessing was one of the few PPV preshows in recent memory to actually drive some last-minute PPV buys. They turned an MJF title win that seemed like a foregone conclusion the minute Darby won into a must-watch stipulation match where the outcome was in real doubt. They also had two red-hot heel turns in Kyle Fletcher and Kevin Knight, and you left the show feeling like the bad guys won, for now, but will get their comeuppance in the months to come - perhaps at the biggest show of the year, All In? My one complaint is that, outside of the main event, the build felt lackluster - I don't feel like the lead-up to matches like Okada-Takeshita or Joe-Ospreay got to the level you would expect for the matches we ended up getting. But once we got to the show itself, everything clicked into place."

[10.0] "One of the best top to bottom PPVs you're ever going to watch. No "bad" matches and certainly an all timer with Okada vs Takeshita. Red hot crowd the entire time and a 4.25 hour show that didn't feel like it. Also, isn't it refreshing to have a promotion that can put on a 4.25 hour show with no commercials and/or fillers?"

[7.0] "This had lots of good wrestling but outside of the Will/Joe match there was nothing I would call excellent. I am not watching week to week so I am not really invested in any of the storylines going in which probably does not help."

[9.0] "I'm new to the world of AEW but this might be their best ever show, and their answer to Mania 17. Every match banged, but match of the night was easily Take vs Okada (9.5). Every moment had "big bout" feel, and it was great that they kept the return of Kyle for after, this deserved to be a pure wrestling bout. The opener (8.25) was great, sure Cope and Cage winning was predictable, but it was well-executed and just as euphoric as it should have been. The women's Owen match (7.5) was the most ok of them all, but enjoyable nonetheless, even if we knew Mina was losing. The Continental match (7.5) was better in terms of graps, but I'm not sure Kyle losing here was the right choice, but we'll see how it plays out. Ospreay vs Joe (8.5) was incredible as anticipated, especially with the newfound viciousness of Will. They did great in terms of making me think that maybe Will would really pass out to Joe's clutch. Would have loved to see this go on a little longer. Swerve vs Bandido (8) was worth the build-up, with a lot of great kicks from Swerve. Again, a little predictable, but the crowd was loving it. The women's four-way match (7.5) was solid, just a little too short to really breathe, but I think Thekla retaining for now is ok. Stadium Stampede (8) was good fun as predicted, but I'll be honest, I think Stampede should stick to being a cinematic match. Having 14 men (15 if you count MVP) throw fists at ringside can be al little chaotic, and the cinematic format allows each performer to shine more and be more unrestricted, and also makes the match more special. In this iteration, a lot of it blends into one, and some performers basically go missing for stretches at a time (for instance, I swear I barely saw Omega do anything in this match). Main Event time! Excellent match (8.5) that really had me on the fence. It was a simple but brilliant story of MJF forcing Allin to be a threat to his own health. Until, the last SDL from Allin got locked in, I really thought the match would go the other way. Good finish, and makes the run-in into summer interesting, especially with what Knight did. This should be a great step forward for him as a performer, as he has the look and the ability, and maybe this allows him to become a top star. 9.25/10 show"

[10.0] "I was there in person so it will be quite biased, but take my word for it. This PPV goes HARRDDDDDDDDDDDD in person and my criticism is that I don't think this PPV did it justice showing the crowd 100% which is saying a lot because the crowd was fire. The hard cam side crowd was bonker!"

[10.0] "Struggling to pick out anything from this show that I didn't enjoy. Start to finish, banger after banger. AEW has also really stepped up their video package game, and all the pre match videos were great too."

[10.0] "1st AEW Event I went to in-person. I must say this was one of the best live experience shows I've ever been to. This was fun from the start to the finish, best 83$ I spent for tickets, and the seats were great. Have to say AEW is just an amazing promotion, they care about what the fans want, they provide great material, and this show was fun from top to bottom. Amazing Double or Nothing Event."

[9.0] "Double or Nothing continues to be the spectacle for professional wrestling this decade, with this entry into the ppv series no exception. The main event was the best match on the show, a perfect & brutal end to Darby Allin's title reign which has an argument for being the best in company history, complemented by a fantastic undercard with matches ranging from hard hitting grudge matches in Takeshita vs. Okada & Ospreay vs. Joe to the fun stupid chaos that is Anarchy in the Arena (named Stadium Stampede in this iteration, a great bit of business by All Elite Wrestling"

[9.0] "A great PPV that opened better than it closed. Some spotty moments towards the end but they came.back together for the wonderful main event. Top 3 matches of the show for me: FTR vs Cope & Cage, Okada vs Takeshita, the main event. Lowlight: Stadium Stampede."

[10.0] "Hier zu muss man wirklich nicht viel Schreiben. Guckst euch einfach mal die Aktuelle Cagematch Wertung dieser Show an. Das erklärt schon alles (Stand Jetzt: 9.66). Es war einfach mal wieder ein fantastischer und atemberaubender PPV von AEW. Hier hat einfach alles gestimmt und Ich denke mal mittlerweile muss jeder verstanden haben WER das beste Wrestling auf der Welt zeigt und immer konstant (Grade im PPV / Großveranstaltungs Bereich) abliefert. AEW macht einfach Spaß und hier weiß man das man nicht enttäuscht wird wenn man die Nacht wach bleibt. Ich würde dem PPV sogar 12 Punkte geben. Der Event hier kommt definitiv in meine Top 10 der Wrestling PPV's die Ich je gesehen habe. Mein persönliches Highlight hier, war Ospreay vs. Samoa Joe. Natürlich gab es vielleicht Matches die besser waren, aber Ich persönlich entscheide mich dafür. Ospreay muss das Ding gewinnen und World Champion werden. Das ist einfach wirklich so als würdest du dem König die Krone die ganze Zeit vor'm Gesicht hin und her wedeln würdest. Ich gebe der gesamten Show natürlich die volle Punktzahl."

[10.0] "A top 5 PPV for AEW, this was a triumph for Tony Khan's promotion. There were multiple matches worthy of 4.5 to 5 stars as well as meaningful emotional moments both in the match and after matches. The New York crowd was also exceptional!"

[7.0] "The top four matches delivered in spades, but Double or Nothing needed one or two of the other matches to separate themselves. The Tag and Women's title matches were the best contenders, but slightly disappointed by Mox/KOR. Stadium Stampede was electric in the ring, but too many near deaths from people missing their spots. Okada/Takeshita capitalised on their moment, but other performance bonuses go to Samoa Joe, Bandido, and the Hurt Syndicate."

[10.0] "OH MY GAWD! ... There is nothing more that I can say that hasn't already been said, but this PPV was off the hook! All the matches were on point and the emotion and storytelling each gave was the best I have seen in over a year. the comedy segments were perfect, the spots were on point and the production was flawless."

[9.0] ""FTR vs. Adam Copeland & Christian Cage" das "I Quit" Match hat mehr als abgeliefert. Tische, Stuhle, Feuer. Es war eigentlich alles dabei, nur kein Blut (schade, aber trotzdem sehr starkes Match). "Kazuchika Okada vs. Konosuke Takeshita" absulter Match of the Year Kandidat! Ein echter Puroresu Banger! "Athena vs. Mina Shirakawa" gutes Women's Match, was es allerdings etwas schwer hatte, weil es direkt nach zwei Banger Matches gekommen ist. Trotzdem gutes Match. "Jon Moxley vs. Kyle O'Reilly" sehr technisches Match, mit viel Matten Wrestling und einen ordentlichen Strong Style Einfluss. Ich feier sowas, aber man muss den Style mögen. "Samoa Joe vs. Will Ospreay" beste Ospreay Match seit seiner Rückkehr. Banger! "Swerve Strickland vs. Bandido" ein Match in den man Moves sieht, die man vorher noch nicht gesehen hat. Must See "Thekla vs. Hikaru Shida vs. Jamie Hayter vs. Kris Statlander" der Four Way war ein gutes Women's Match. Besonders die Schlussphase. "Stadium Stampede Match" der Totale Wahnsinn.....absulut verrücktes Match. "Darby Allin vs. MJF" Würdiger Main Event. Action, Drama, komplett wahnsinnige Bumps und eine starke Schlussphase. Fazit: AEW liefert einen wirklich starken PPV. 9 Punkte"

"While I do not put it as high among the greatest shows of all time, this is still a strong overall PPV with an electricity in the crowd I have not seen since Backlash 2024 in France. The I Quit match was pure fun, the world title match was well paced and entertaining despite being predictable, and Okada vs Takeshita just entered my all time greatest match lists. AEW has proven themselves once again why they're the king of PPV: they understand that it's the perfect time to just throw everything together like a salad and mix it so it hits just right"

"Summary: I've been a lifelong wrestling fan; this was one of the best events I've ever seen. It had everything - the nostalgia of Mick Foley making his first AEW appearance as he co-hosted the Buy-In Pre-Show with Renee Paquette, a loud & energetic NYC crowd, high-level in-ring performances, all the drama, and plenty of valuables on the line - with not just championships (of which there were 5), but also MJF's hair and Cope & Christian's career as a tag team. ---------- Starting off the main card with Cope & Christian's match was smart from a pacing perspective - we all know they aren't at the pinnacle of their careers, but they still have enough in the tank and an I Quit match allowed them to pace themselves while using the arena & whatever they could find along the way to add excitement to the action. ---------- Takeshita vs Okada is a frontrunner for MOTY. It had an inter-faction rivalry that's been building tension for months, top-flight ringwork, and an emotional and compelling post-match chain of events. Great storytelling. ---------- Stadium Stampede lived up to it's name. ---------- MJF continues to get better in the ring and add wrinkles to his game; icing on the cake that is his best-in-class mic ability. Darby's run has been one that perfectly fit him and it couldn't have been done any better. ---------- Also want to mention: the entrances were cinematic as hell. Seriously impressed with that. ---------- MyAEW quality was good and the annual works out to $10/mo, plus you get the live TV shows w/ less commercials than the US versions. And ROH PPVs + TV. They keep adding to the back catalog of both, and word is their adding more promotions. Very happy with it. Connected via a free VPN then disconnected it as soon as it started, kept on truckin'."

[10.0] "Watched this show a bit late, but it was worth the wait! An amazing show top to bottom, not a bad match or segment on the card. My match of the night was Takeshita vs Okada, it really lived up to the hype."

[10.0] "Hands down best PPV this year and possibly in the history of AEW. I'm sure the hating ratings will be incoming but in reality if you are a pro wrestling fan then you left this PPV satisfied and happy. Every match was earned its spot on the show and every wrestler put in the work to make it all work. Great crowd too only added to the rating. BRAVO!"

[8.0] "Do i think this was the best AEW PPV ever? No, but was this still undeniably a great show? Absolutely. Tons of great matches up and down this card with Joe/Ospreay, Kyle/Mox, Okada/Takeshita and the main event being the highlights for me. Every other match on this show was pretty good though and even the ones that i wasnt super high on did have their memorable moments. Two notable angles here too, with the Kyle Fletcher returning and turning his back on Takeshita and Kevin Knight turning heel after the main event. The Fletcher angle was absolutely fantastic, but i did have a few issues with the Kevin Knight turn. I think he should absolutely kill it as a heel but i didnt love the way that they did it. I think that, ideally, he should have cost Darby the match against MJF. It wouldve been a far more impactful moment and would have made a lot more sense than him just attacking Darby after the match because at least it wouldve sorta seemed like he had a motive. That aside though, this was a fantastic show overall. Every match wasnt blow away great but most of them were good and there were memorable moments up and down the card too. Also helped that the crowd were on fire all night which really added to the atmosphere of the show too. One of AEW's strongest shows of the year so far. MOTN - Samoa Joe vs. Will Ospreay"

[7.0] "Look, there were some very good matches on the show, but so many predictable results that spoiled the event in the aftermath. Moxley getting his win back was same old, same old, Kyle wins the series 2-1 but Moxley's win is the title decider, a win-back result as needless as Britt Baker needing to defeat Riho. Nothing was a surprise on the show as far as results go. Darby Allin becomes an "only for TV" champion and doesn't successfully defend even once at a PPV, so much for Everest. Lashley can't get out of the way quick enough so he doesn't have to touch a table. In the one match that could have used a "surprise" result, the ROH World Champ goes out in the first round and we miss out on Bandido vs Brody. Even the Opps didn't win on the Buy-In. I dunno, this one felt a lot like the other AEW PPVs that are absolutely brilliant while watching, but regrettably feel like a return to the status quo afterwards. Okada vs Takeshita and the Tag Title match will stay in the memory though."

"[8.5] DoN 2026 was a really great PPV from top to bottom, easily the best PPV in all of wrestling this year so far, and one of the best PPVs AEW has ever done. I didn't go into the show with much hype, considering AEW's weekly TV shows like Dynamite just don't generate much interest towards their next shows or PPVs and don't provide much of an intriguing story to their matches or even any story at all, which has been the case for quite some time. But AEW surely knows how to provide great PPVs consistently, and they delivered once again. Amazing in-ring work, great flow throughout the show, with a lot of matches not going overboard with the time, like in previous PPVs, some really decent surprises and a fantastic, hot crowd throughout the entire show. The opener between FTR and Cope & Cage was a great way to start the show and a really fun, brutal tag match with some great spots. Christian is a freaking gem when he got the mic in the match. Beth's appearance was great, and that spot with the flaming table, with Dax wanting to spear Beth, mocking Cope, but instead hitting Stokely, was insane. Very reminiscent of Edge vs Mick Foley and their infamous flaming table spot, which they wanted to recreate here. Cope & Christian win the tag titles and remain as a team. Excellent stuff and just a great way to open the show. Takeshita vs Okada was a tremendous wrestling match. A match of the year contender, definitely one of the best of the year, just as expected with these two. Didn't go into this match with much interest, but I knew they would deliver a fantastic, hard-hitting match with plenty of drama. My only real gripe with this was the lack of selling in the latter portion of the match, to make it even better than it already was. Other than that, fantastic match. The return of Kyle Fletcher was really surprising. Even more surprising, though, was his heel turn to Takeshita. Excellent stuff. Athena vs Shirakawa was solid. Didn't really care that much, as these Owen Hart matches were announced rather late and had no story. In-ring-wise, this was alright. Moxley vs O'Reilly was a good match, but it was a bit hard to be invested in it when that match was literally on that week's Dynamite for 20 whole minutes. Don't think it is the best idea to put the same match again for another 20 minutes, which also had barely any story to begin with. A bit better than Wednesday's, but it's a typical problem with AEW. No need for Moxley to be in every single show or PPV when he doesn't have anything really major like now, and for that match to take place here. 30 minutes could've been scrapped off to make the show more digestible. Will Osprey vs Samoa Joe was a great match. I'm definitely not the biggest fan of Will Osprey and his over-the-top acrobatics, flips and no-selling, as far as in-ring work goes, but I'll surely give credit where it's due. Samoa Joe slowing down the match, and Osprey's explosive offence as the menacing veteran heel he is was what made the match great, imo. Really good pace in it. Great tournament match. Another equally great tournament match was Swerve vs Bandido. Swerve is great. Wasn't really all that invested in Bandido, but he delivered a great performance as well. Women's world title 4-way match was quite decent, but again, I had no invested in it, which is the theme with the women's division in AEW. One of the bigger issues in AEW is their women's division and the lack of screen time and lackadaisical booking, which is unfortunate. This was a throwaway match, made in the last minute and included 3 other competitors just to include them in the card. Still, though, a good match. Stadium stampede match was a really entertaining, fun "match", if you can call it that, and was one of the few matches I was looking forward to and what they wanted to present in this match, years after the classic initial stadium stampede match in 2020. Really fun, new spots and some really funny angles and spots in there too. My takeaway from this is that some spots were too choreographed, mainly from The Young Bucks, obviously, and maybe the match could go a bit less. Other than that, really entertaining. Main event MJF vs Darby Allin world title vs hair match, was awesome. Now, it might be quite controversial, especially amongst the sickos, but I just could not accept Darby Allin out of the sudden getting a shot at the world title on the Dynamite after Dynasty, and becoming AEW world champion by squashing MJF, who beat Omega and Hangman. It was the most forced world title change I've ever seen in wrestling by far, and it didn't work for someone who wasn't really in anything substantial before getting the title shot and especially for someone who's supposed to be an underdog. They could at least give him some story, or have him at least be showcase him as an actual underdog, but no, just squeeze his title reign as much as possible until he's dropping it at DoN and have him wrestle mostly mid-carders on every single Dynamite and some Collision shows, half of them were babyfaces, and all of them apart from now with MJF, had zero story or hype. Some really great matches throughout, don't get me wrong, but matches with Bailey, Guevara, Kevin Knight, or Brody King won't be really that memorable. The fact that he held the title, how he won it and defended it every week might be memorable, but not anything really substantial from his reign, as he had matches with whoever didn't really deserve it and downgraded the title to basically a midcard title. Now the title is back in the actual main event scene. One of the very few matches that had some resemblance of a story, at least. A really great main event. Amazing PPV, best show of 2026 in all of pro wrestling so far. Consistently great in-ring work throughout. Now, the hard part is for AEW to capitalise on that momentum and transfer that to the weekly shows and have people talking about AEW on a consistent basis."

[10.0] "Last year, DoN 2025 became one the greatest wrestling night and AEW ppv ever. This year, DoN 2026 topped that level and putting that into words is not even as insane as it actually is. Last year, we got the beautiful arena in Arizona with the special lighting, this year we have the sold out 15k Louis Armstrong Stadium. Last year we had Page vs Ospreay, this year we have Okada vs Takeshita. Anyway, it was a more than perfect night, the worst match was the very decent Mina/Athena. The rest of the card was absolutely fantastic, with a damn fun Stadium Stampede, a legendary Okada/Takeshita, a career highlight win for Copeland and Cage. The main event was perfect aswell. The talent of the wrestlers involved, the quality of the card, is kinda shocking at this point, one of the best people of the business in every match. Perfect booking, insane moments. Kevin Knight heel turn closing the show tells a lot. Kyle Fletcher return + "heel turn" is memorable and continues to establish him as one of the absolute star of the company. The only down of this show was the fact that Hangman Adam Page is still quietly gardening at home. Anyway, awesome. And once again, one of the very best, if not the best AEW ppv of all time. And my god that crowd, not surprised but damn, one of the best AEW crowd ever. Delivering that kind of show, that way, in this city, is a huge statement. Yeah actually, it's really might be the greatest ppv EVER produced by a pro wrestling company. And the fact that it was done in NYC is not a coincidence."

[10.0] "Doesn't get much better than this: hot crowd, matches with stakes, excellent wrestling, surprise twists and turns, and immaculate pacing. Still energized thinking about it 48 hours later. This was an all-timer. A turning point for AEW? Time will tell. For now, an amazing show I'll be coming back to. 9.5/10."

[8.0] "I thought this was a good event. A lot of different flavors of wrestling for people to enjoy and all of the matches were at least pretty good. Takeshita vs Okada was the highlight of the evening, though Stadium Stampede is in it's own stratospehere - pure wrestling ridiculousness at it's best."

[9.0] "This event is a staple in pro wrestling and easily is one of the greatest of the decade. AEW provides a product that time and time again is great pro wrestling on top of solid storytelling, and this is yet another example. There was a few things to keep it from a 10 for me, but it is very close!"

[10.0] "This is the greatest AEW PPV of all time, hell, this is the greatest AEW show of all time, and it may just be the greatest PPV I've ever seen. First off the venue here screamed "AEW IS BACK, " SOLD OUT, packed to the nosebleeds, loud, energetic, never dying elite crowd. On top of that the stage design was great too and screamed New York. The opening tag was brilliant, the I Quit stipulation really added to what was already a great bit of in-ring psychology and great in-ring wrestling. This was one of the few matches where we saw blood and the fact that blood wasn't used consistently throughout the show, made this match more special. Beth's interference was great, the finish was great, and what a moment for Cope and Cage. Just wish the build for the match was a lot better, than 30 second backstage promos, and multi-men matches. Takeshita vs Okada was next and is MOTY as of writing. One of the greatest matches I've ever seen that went below 20 minutes. Takeshita gets the win over Okada, I'm sure the rubber match happens at All In, I honestly don't know how they top this, this was amazing. Athena vs Shirikawa was fine, it's nice to see Athena get a win on PPV because she's so good, I just wish I cared more about this match. Mox O'Rielly was also good, but again I didn't care for this as the build was last-second and it would've been better saved for a Dynamite. The next two matches were the first round matches of the Owen and good god did they deliver. Pick your poison as to what you liked better, Swerve and Will advance. The women's four way was also good, but again just wish there was a better build to make me invested. The stadium stampede was awesome, the comedy spots worked well, the spots were effective, and the babyfaces went over. Not as good as the OG stadium stampede but as per usual the balls to the wall, crazy no-DQ DON multi-man match DELIVERED. The main event was AWESOME, the Darby Max feud was great, and was the best build of anything on the show. Genuinely thought Darby was winning here, as did many people in the crowd, which is why so many people were shocked. The match was great, Darby is a mad man, and his title run while short will go down as one of the greatest AEW title runs ever. Kevin Knight's heel turn at the end really caught me off guard, it was fine, but nothing crazy for me. I do like Kevin Knight as a heel though, I think Knight turning on Bailey at the end of the show would've been A LOT more affective, as I don't really feel the chemistry between Darby and Knight, but that's just me. The in-ring action overshadows any criticism I have, the most fun-filled PPV AEW's ever put on, these four hours flew by, AEW IS BACK. 10/10 show."

[9.0] "incredibly well put and very enjoyable show, it had everything that DoN 2025 already had but it felt even better somehow, the matchcard was insane, lots of memorable moments, the highlight of the night is still Konosuke vs Kazuchika though - stunning match, MOTY of 2026 to me already, and what happened after the match is stunning as well. incredible ppv, incredible night, congrats to everyone involved"

[9.0] "Honestly, the only thing that hurt this was the length and pacing. Everything was awesome, but I didn't feel like I had any time to decompress until Stadium Stampede, and even that was as fun as everything else was exciting. I suppose, If I'm being honest, while the overall quality of the show was amazing, I can't really point to one match that blew my mind the way that, say, Swerve/Ospreay vs the Bucks from All-In, or Hangman vs Omega, or Mox, or Fletcher, or Swerve, or Ospreay did. I guess I'm saying that maybe the show just needed Hangman."

[10.0] "One of the best PPVs AEW has ever produced. Great matches, great angles even the Buy-In with Mick Foley was interesting. Even though Stadium Stampede was good not great in my eyes I don't know how I can rate this show any other than a 10/10. A nearly perfect show."

[9.0] "This very well could be AEW's WrestleMania 17. The only thing that dragged was Stadium Stampede, otherwise it was a near-perfect PPV."

[10.0] "Double Or Nothing fing mit genau richtig an mit Adam Copeland und die Crowd dieses Feuer was in den Louis Armstrong Stadium Leben einbrachte. Würde Louis Armstrong heute noch unter uns weilen wär weiß wie er die Show regiert hätte, aber kommen zu den Matches und sie Fand. Der Opener war genau gesetzt, man egal wie alt Cage und Copeland sie sind nicht eingerostet. FTR auch wieder Dax Harwood und Stokely heel Popcorn Moves und Christian Cage & Adam Copeland gingen over. Konosuke Takeshita vs. Kazuchika Okada zwei Giganten aus Japan wie ich es nicht gegeneinander an. Es gab in den Match mindestens drei Sequenzen wo ich nur dachte "Alter kommt mal wieder runter vom Ross! " Konosuke Takeshita ging und das MOTN+MOTY-Kandiert. Kommen wir zu den wie soll ich es beschreiben. Ein lowlight Matche war es nicht dafür hatten Mina und Athena zu stark geworked, aber wenn das Matche sich von der gesamten Show ableitet war es das wenig unterhaltsame Matche für die Crowd. Ich jedenfalls fand es gut was beiden Damen gezeigt haben. Jon Moxley vs. Kyle O'Reilly war gut sehr starke MMA Presence und Fighting Sprit von beiden. Moxley ging over. Will Ospreay vs. Samoa Joe war sehr gut kaum ist Joe im Ring attackiert Will ihn und die Crowd war onfire. Samoa Joe kann immer den Youngstars und trotz seines Gewichts immer noch sehr gut bewglich ist mithallten kann. Will Ospreay ging over. Einige hätten die Crowd vom Pedal runterdrückt nein nein. Swerve Strickland vs. Bandido war absolutes spotwrestling und Swerve Strickland ist gegangen. Thekla vs. Shida vs. Hayter vs. Statlander vier der besten Damen auf Welt gibt. Da hat man versucht die Crowd runter zubringen, dass hatte aber ganz so funktioniert wie sie es wollten und Thekla ging mit einen gut over. Stadium Stampede Match und Kinoreifes worke holt euer Süßfutter oder Kaltgetränk raus und nimmt euch dieses Match. Ich will Shelton Benjamin hier loben den sogar manchmal Bobby Lashley verwchned. Die Entranc Jack Perry, Jericho, The Elite & The Hurt Syndicate hatte den Look von Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs. Jack Perry, Jericho, The Elite & The Hurt Syndicate gingen over. MJF vs. Darby Allin war krass MJF beweist einfachmal wieder warum er der beste Heel ist den im Wrestling Business gibt. Er nimmt Promos und Segmmte aus Golden Ära und bringt sie Moderne was genau richtig ist. Darby mal wieder Überkrank und MJF und ging Harre behalten. Eine Show die, die vom Anfang bis zum Ende Onfire gehalten hatte. Kein Downer, keine Fehlentscheidungen und ein mit coolen Cliffhänger. So bleibt das Produkt frisch und neue Fehden können entstehen."

[10.0] "How can it not be a 10? That was a phenomenal event top to bottom, with a really hot crowd, and it's very significant as well, a big event like this in NYC, with a packed crowd, and the presentation was definitely worth it, to me that was the culmination of pretty good decisions by AEW since 2025, focusing on their own product, and creating captivating stories. Obviously I'm always critical of the company and its PPV style, but that was a super enjoyable night of wrestling, it's normal that two or three matches doesn't feature your favorite style, but as a whole, it's an impressive show and it deserves the recognition, they didn't drop the ball at any moment and after an event like this, it's natural that the discourse in favor of AEW is growing and their momentum is tremendous right now. The order of the card, which is something that Tony Khan normally gets wrong, was perfect here, maybe for the first time in a very very long time, it was truly flawless, every match was in the right place, and the matches weren't tiring, which is always a complaint that I have as well. Very special night for them, and it's a rare moment, when you connect things so well like this, they deserve the praise, I have to be fair. Very consistent show in terms of matches, and with interesting twists as well, like Fletcher and Kevin Knight turning heel."

[10.0] "It seems like for the second year in a row, Double or Nothing is in a contender to be the best wrestling show of the year. Every match on this show was must watch and there was no low point. This might be the best back to back matches to start the show, and we got plenty of story beats bro look forward to in the build to all in."

[9.0] "An exceptional wrestling show with a tremendous amount of quality in the ring for most matches. Beyond the sheer quality, the variety and balance of the card are also noteworthy. Each match offered something high-quality, yet different. I feel like this show could almost be presented as an example of everything wrestling has to offer (with the possible exception of a hardcore match), which is quite incredible. Outside of the matches, there were some great angles, starting with that fantastic segment with Fletcher. The sporadic appearances in the Stadium Stampede were fun, and Beth Copeland's arrival made a real impact. The final angle could have been better executed, but I wasn't expecting that turn at that moment. A great way to conclude a fantastic show in a superb New York atmosphere. In-ring quality: 5/6.5. Angles and segments outside of matches: 3/3.5. Bonus/penalty: Atmosphere and card balance +0.75. Total: 8.75/10. Show viewed on MyAEW"

[10.0] "Double or Nothing was everything I want in a wrestling PPV. Great matches, strong storytelling, big moments, and a crowd that made everything feel important. Nothing felt like filler, and the pacing kept me invested all night. One of AEW's strongest shows to date. 10/10."

[10.0] "Adam Copeland & Christian Cage vs. Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood war ein gut gewählter Opener. Das Match war gut umgesetzt und die Geschichte der vorherigen Matches wurde gut aufgegriffen. Es hätte noch etwas brutaler sein können, aber es gibt ja noch andere extreme Matches weshalb man sich im Opener auch was zurück halten kann was die Spots angeht (****). Kazuchika Okada vs. Konosuke Takeshita als zweites Match am Abend hat mich überrascht. Ich habe mit einem unfairen Ende gerechnet, aber dass das Match clean geendet hat war überraschend. Man hat hier einen unglaublich guten Fight bekommen. Gute near falls, Spannung und mit die besten konter die ich je in einem Match gesehen habe. Ein unglaublich gutes Match (**** 3/4). Athena vs. Mina Shirakawa war leider nicht komplett sauber, hat aber viele gute Ideen gehabt. Chemie haben die beiden, ich würde mir mal ein größeres längeres Match zwischen den beiden wünschen (*** 1/2). Jon Moxley vs. Kyle O'Reilly war ein technisch sehr gutes Match. Ich muss sagen das es nicht so ganz mein Geschmack ist, aber man hat hier ein technisch sauberes und gutes Match bekommen (*** 3/4). Samoa Joe vs. Will Ospreay war überraschend gut. Ein unglaublich hohes Tempo über die komplette Matchzeit. Das beste Joe Match seit einer längeren Zeit. Viele gute konter und eine sehr starke Schlussphase (**** 1/4). Bandido vs. Swerve Strickland war eine sehr gute Abwechslung zum Rest der Card. Die Spots waren sehr kreativ und einzigartig. Der Matchfluss war perfekt und Spannung war definitiv vorhanden (**** 1/2). Hikaru Shida vs. Jamie Hayter vs. Kris Statlander vs. Thekla war ein gut durchdachtes Match. Ununterbrochen Action mit gut getimeten moves (****). Stadium Stampede Match hat viel Spaß gemacht. Die Abwechslung war super und mir hat der Comedyaspekt gut gefallen. Es war sehr unterhaltsam (**** 1/4). Darby Allin vs. MJF war ein würdiger Main Event. Spannend mit guten near falls. Ich finde es schade das Allin den Titel wieder los ist, sein run war unglaublich gut (**** 3/4)."

[9.0] "Possibly one of the best PPVs AEW has ever done. No bad matches, a few missed opportunities, but those are outweighed by the sheer talent on display and the amount of risks being taken by everyone involved. This PPV made it clear to me that a big factor that separates AEW from other promotions is the risk-taking both in-ring and in the booking. AEW knows when to go all out and really surprise the audience, while also being silly and fun and memorable. Match of the night is a four-way tie for me between Okada/Takeshita, Ospreay/Joe, Swerve/Bandido, and Darby/MJF. All three were very different matches, all with different storylines and different intentions, but they share a common thread of phenomenal wrestling, and again, a willingness to take risks. There were also spots here that I'd truly never seen before that just blew me away. Swerve standing on Bandido's shoulders to do a House Call, Bandido reversing a Death Valley Driver into a Poisonrana, a seven-way Super Kick, Ospreay doing an Os-cutter during Joe's entrance, a double ankle-lock, and probable more I'm forgetting. This PPV truly lived up to its name and continue AEW's hot streak."

[8.0] "A really solid PPV with really only one skippable match, which also is the shortest match, but this show had a lot of surprisingly shorter matches than normal giving a bit of an awkwardness to them still very entertaining even if some of the matches finishes felt off like Ospreay vs Joe and the fatal 4 way. Really AEW womens division is really quite bland compared to what it once was. A lot of these matches could have been better especially Swerve vs Bandido and Moxley vs O'Reiley. The MOTN was definitely contender for the best match of the year with Takeshita vs Okada."

[7.0] "Far from the best AEW PPV I've ever seen, but certainly a good one. Over half an hour of it was spent on the Stadium Stampede (not including entrances), which doesn't seem like the best use of time or talent for my tastes. But 4 or 5 good to very good matches including a thrilling main event."

[10.0] "Best bell-to-bell show I have ever seen. I had all but one bout on the main card at 4 stars or higher, and most of those were 4.5 or higher, including a match of the year candidate between Okada and Takeshita. The show also avoided some of the more subdued moments in the middle of past AEW PPVs that went too long, as everything flowed seamlessly and was helped by a fantastic crowd. A must-see show for any fan of wrestling."

[10.0] "Oh my lord. Yeah, this is the one. Not a single dull moment, every match at worst was great, and numerous in-ring stories told here are some of the best this artform has ever created. Most notably Takeshita vs. Okada, which is by all means a perfectly understandable pick for greatest match of all time. Perfectly structured as well, each match was paced and placed perfectly on the card and started off with quite a fire under its ass, literally in the first match's case. Just a fun and practically immaculate display of pro wrestling at its absolute best. Absolutely mind-boggling crowd as well."

[10.0] "For a company that consistently delivers top notch PPVs, they still managed to out do themselves with this edition of Double or Nothing. From top to bottom, the matches delivered and then some. Despite being over 4 hours long, the pacing made it feel like it was a breeze to get through. I'd show this show to anyone who wants to know how great AEW can be. The highlight of the show was definitely Okada vs Takeshita."

[7.0] "There weren't any bad matches here but not many standouts either. Main event was very enjoyable, I am not always huge on MJF but when he's paired with a babyface like Darby, especially in a scenario like this, he can be pretty great. Mox vs O'Reilly was also really really great. The rest of the matches were decent but just formulaic AEW PPV stuff that Ive seen a million times at this point"

[10.0] "This is hands down a top 5 AEW PPV of all time, I enjoyed every second of it and so many incredible matches that peaked insanely high for me. Takeshita v Okada, Swerve v Bandido, FTR v CC & MJF v Darby were amazing"

"This was the first AEW PPV I was able to see in person. Being apart of this was amazing. Seeing Foley, Okada vs Takeshita, Swerve vs Bandido, Stadium Stampede was wild. And of course the main event, Darby vs MJF was heart breaking"

"Double or Nothing 2026 felt like AEW finally remembered how to make a PPV feel like everything mattered."

[10.0] "WOW! What a PPV! The opener was expected but it was great to see Beth Phoenix appear to support her husband. The callback to the Cope / Mox match with the spiked board was awesome. Takeshita vs Okada was AMAZING and my second favorite match of the night. So much back and forth and Fletcher returning and turning on Takeshita was very cool and a great way to set the table for a match between the two down the line. Athena vs Mina was all it needed to be. I really hope Athena wins the Owen. Mox vs O'Reilly was very good but it was funny to hear JR call Kyle "kid" because he didn't remember his name. Ospreay vs Joe and Bandido vs Strickland were both really really good and each had their own flair but I thought it was smart to have them back to back to set the parallel paths of Strickland and Ospreay before their probable clash at Forbidden Door. The women's four way match was also really fun and I have loved Thekla's run so much this year. The Stadium Stampede was everything it needed to be and more! All of the special guests made it that much better and Mark Davis getting killed and then randomly appearing again two minutes later was great as well. And then the main event... WOW, just WOW, I thought this match would be a little stilted due to Darby being so injured and MJF being prickish MJF, but it was 10/10 from bell to bell. And then the swerve with Kevin Knight... what a way to end a PPV! Amazing stuff from AEW, keep it goes boys!"

[10.0] "Oh my god, what a show. Every match was either great, or fantastic. There was a bit of everything on the show, stadium stampede was amazing, the main event was possibly an all timer for the company. A shock heel turn to end the night. Wow. This was terrific."

"What a show! We have to feel grateful to be treated to such a top to bottom all out bangers of a show! In my 30+ years of watching wrestling this is probably the best show has a whole with no bad matche ive seen and i seen lots! Like i needed a cigarette after and I don't smoke! ""

[10.0] "AEW Double or Nothing war eine grandiose Show. Die Matches waren auf einem konstant hohen Niveau. Trotz der Länge der Show, war das Pacing der Show dadurch so stark, dass es bei der Matchauswahl viel Abwechslung gab, sodass die Show sich auch zu keinem Zeitpunkt zog. Hinzu kommt mit Takeshita gegen Okada, welches für mich ein klare MOTY Kandidat ist."

[10.0] "I know I had one 10 and several 9s and 8s for individual matches...But when your lowest match is a 7 and every match just delivers that's a 10 in my book. AEW is on a roll with great storytelling, great in ring action, and let's face it... there's no fluff in their PLEs... you're not sitting through 10 minutes of ads before and after every match."

[10.0] "As soon as the show finished I knew without a shadow of the doubt, this was the best wrestling show I have ever seen. 6 matches of the night with Take/Okada, Bandido/Swerve, Stadium Stampede, Allin/MJF, tag street fight, and Mox/Kyle. Just a steller night of wrestling."

[10.0] "Show of the year. I thought Revolution would be near unbeatable but this surpassed it. There wasn't a match that was less than very good on the card & where some stories were finished, others continued & new stories started. All in all, as perfect a PPV as I could think of."

[10.0] "el evento partió desde el buy in con un gancho para el main event junto a mick foley lo cual me parecio tremenda forma de partir la noche. el ppv comienza con dos combates impresionantes, parejas e IC, ambos combates fueron divertidos, freneticos, con rivalidades de meses y concluyendo esas rivalidades (o no? ) luego de eso vinieron los combates por el torneo owen hart los cuales fueron divertidos, destaco el ospreay vs joe como la mejor lucha, pero igualmente bandido vs swerve tuvo unos movimientos y secuencia final impresionante, el combate por el continental y las luchas femeninas fueron lo más bajo pero del evento, y el stadium stampede cumplió, pero la espectativa era mucho mayor, el main event fue tremendo y concluyo un historico reinado de allin"

[10.0] "Another banger of a PPV from AEW. Adam Copeland & Christian Cage vs Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood: A great match to start the PPV, quite a few brutal and memorable spots, return appearance of Beth Copeland was a surprise but nice to see, both teams took each other to hell and back, Cope & Cage winning the titles was the right choice here and I am glad about them winning the titles [*****]. Konosuke Takeshita vs Kazuchika Okada: An incredible match between two of Japan's finest wrestlers, the chemistry was there and both took each other to the limit, the apron rainmaker was delivered well, Takeshita winning was nice to see, the post match angle was interesting with Kyle Fletcher returning and Takeshita getting betrayed out of Don Callis Family [*****]. Athena vs Mina Shirakawa: Mina had control in the early stages which was interesting, the match then turned in favour of Athena who got the unsurprising win, card placement was not ideal after two opening bangers but did okay [***1/4]. Jon Moxley vs Kyle O'Reilly: Striking and grappling and submission work at its best here in this rematch from this past Wednesday on Dynamite, a great match on PPV between these two  but KOR could have won but Moxley retaining it was okay all the same [****1/4]. Will Ospreay vs Samoa Joe: Ospreay getting the win was good to see, Joe gave a decent amount of offense in what was a solid match [***1/2]. Swerve Strickland vs Bandido: A great match in the Owen Hart Cup, some decent spots and both had a great showing [****]. Thekla vs Hikaru Shida vs Jamie Hayter vs Kris Statlander: A solid four way match with some decent moments, just wished that Hayter would have won the title [***1/2]. Bobby Lashley, Jack Perry, Jericho, Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson & Shelton Benjamin vs Andrade El Idolo, Bishop Kaun, Clark Connors, David Finlay, Mark Davis, Ricochet & Toa Liona: I was expecting wild and crazy and that is exactly what we got, all 14 involved delivered a wild match with quite a selection of wild moments, cameo appearances from Lio Rush and Luchasaurus and Satnam Singh were worked into it well, definitely worth watching [*****]. MJF vs Darby Allin: An awesome match to round off Allin's reign even if Allin shpuld have retained here, some memorable spots and both had an amazing showing, closing out the PPV with Kevin Knight turning heel was shocking [*****]"

"AEW Double or Nothing delivered a clean, top-to-bottom banger -- a rare card with no weak matches and a roster stacked so deep it felt like half the show could've main-evented. They did an especially strong job making the Owen Hart Tournament feel meaningful again -- proving you can craft high-stakes, high-quality matches even without long-term feuds. Mick Foley's appearance was a welcomed and the crowd clearly loved seeing a legend step back into the spotlight. Overall: great pacing, great wrestling, great energy. AEW at its best."

[10.0] "Man this show was awesome from beginning to end. Every match hit it out the park and even had some funny comedy parts of the show and matches that were actually funny like Lio Rush showing up out of no where. AEW continues to be ELITE. Week after week and month after month these dudes are putting their all into this. Been said a bunch already but possibly a top 3 AEW PPV OAT."

"This was a really solid show that felt extremely well paced. I was worried when I saw the card that we would get a few matches exceeding that 20-25 minute mark. But we didn't and I feel like every match got the appropriate amount of time. The Stadium Stampede match might be the most fun Stadium Stampede match we've gotten so far with several spots and cameos that made me chuckle. The only thing that brings this down for me is Darby Allin losing the title so soon. Yes, he made several defenses on TV, but his first big defense on PPV and he loses? Hopefully the booking decision is worth it."

[10.0] "I paid 53$ for this PPV and I never once felt bored or disappointed, this is probably the best AEW PPV ever and one of the best PPV's period. There is only one weak match in the women's four way, aside from that there isn't a bad match in sight. The only thing keeping me from saying this is the best PPV ever is the fact that many of the matches were predictable, and this isn't an All In, this is merely just the road to the big event. Hopefully AEW can keep this momentum."

"Excellent show and amazing atmosphere to be there live. Barely any downtime, matches were generally well timed, and an incredible amount of variety to suit all different styles."

[9.0] "For a 4+ hour show it was well paced and just fun matches up and down the card. Second match on the show sent me into a state of euphoria. Not the best show I've been to live, but the most fun I've had at one in years. Think it's an easy and happy watch for anyone."

[10.0] "This was hands down the greatest AEW pay per view they have ever done. Every single match here was at the very bare minimum good to outstanding, with Takeshita vs Okada being my current MOTY at the moment (funnily enough surpassing Tanahashi's retirement match which also included Okada), and the angles here were wonderfully shot. They have set up stories for their impending events, and have completely upped their production. AEW currently seems extremely focused after their massive uptick, and it is awesome to see this."

[10.0] "Probably the best PPV AEW has ever done. I thought DoN 25 and All Out 21 was great; and somehow, they outdid themselves. The venue was fantastic with an electric crowd the entire night with a plethora of great matches. The worst match was inoffensive and not even "bad" by any means. Seriously, hats off to AEW for producing the best PPV I've seen, top to bottom."

[10.0] "Probably the best PPV I've ever seen in front of one the hottest crowds start to finish you'll ever see. The weakest match will have possibly been Athena/Mina and even that was really good. The I Quit Match and Okada/Takeshita is likely the best first two matches of any PPV in history, both were incredible with the crowd absolutely nuclear, the Fletcher return and turn on Takeshita was outstanding, Mox/O'Reilly excellent, Ospreay/Joe fantastic, Swerve/Bandido likewise, women's 4 way very good, Stadium Stampede absurdly entertaining and the main event and the Knignt heel turn just amazing. Probably going to be one of the easiest 10's I'll ever give on here, id have to nitpick to an extreme degree to even think about subtracting a point for anything. The crowd being as hot as they were the whole way through a very long show tells you everything you need to know, a world class PPV."

[10.0] "This is quite possibly the best PPV ever from start to finish. Every single match was very good, and all but a few were truly memorable classics. The only PPVs that even come close in my opinion for top to bottom greatness are Full Gear 2021 and Forbidden Door 2022. Where to even start? Okada/Takeshita was my favorite match, this was such a freaking amazing wrestling match. Samoa Joe vs. Will Ospreay was an all time classic, my favorite Samoa Joe match ever. Moxley/O'Reilly, Swerve/Bandido, FTR/CopeCage, and the Stadium Stampede were all so memorable as well and so completely different from each other. Both women's matches were really good, and on their own would have been very highly regarded. And the main event was a fitting end to the show with Darby going all out, but he couldn't quite overcome the toll from his crazy twice a week schedule. Such a great way to cap a world title reign that will always be remembered. Consider too that this is one of the best ever, and it didn't even have 3 of AEW's best - Hangman Page, Toni Storm, and Mercedes Mone. AEW on their current run with those 3 might even produce a better PPV down the road! We're going to look back on this era of AEW this past year as a true golden age of wrestling."

[8.0] "Die Show beginnt mit 2 ordentlichen Bangern. Erst das starke I Quit Match um die Tag Team Titles und dann das Aufeinandertreffen von Takeshita und Okada. Nach dem Match kehrt dann Kyle Fletcher zurück. Lange denkt man, er würde sich auf Takeshitas Seite stellen, aber nachdem sie lange zusammen jubeln, turned er dann doch gegen Take. Mina gegen Athena fand ich dann ebenfalls gut. Es folgen wieder zwei richtig starke Matches. Erst Mox gegen O'Reilly und dann Ospreay vs. Samoa Joe. Swerve gegen Bandido war zwar gut, konnte mich aber nicht völlig überzeugen. Auch der 4-Way um den Women's World gefiel mir gut. Das Stadium Stampede Match war dann Mangels eines Stadion eher ein Anarchy in the Arena Match, aber dennoch ordentlich. Auch wenn ich vom Ausgang enttäuscht bin, war der Main Event ziemlich gut. Die Dramatik kam bei mir aber nicht an. Nach dem Match vertreibt Kevin Knight erst MJF, turned dann aber gegen Darby (Was irgendwie mehr Sinn ergeben hätte, wenn Darby den Titel verteidigt hätte.)"

[10.0] "AEW Double Or Nothing 2026 bekommt von mir wieder mal die volle Punktzahl. Zu allen Matches jeweils mehr in den Guides. 4x 9 Punkte und 1x 10 Punkte. Dann noch 1x 7 Punkte und 2 x 8 Punkte. Hier stimmte alles, aber echt alles. Auch wenn ich das Owen Hart Foundation 2026 Women's Tournament Quarter Final Match als schwächste Match sehe war auch das hier fast eine Empfehlung."

"WOW! What a show. Was literally full of Bangers. The Buy-In was pretty mediocre but even that offered some substance towards the Main Card, but honestly it's hard to pick holes in any of it. Thoroughly enjoyed watching every moment and the crowd was super hype for everything. Takeshita vs Okada match of the night probably but it was a tough call. Thought it would be hard to top last years DON but it surpassed it with ease. 10/10 Show from me."

[10.0] "One of the greatest PPVs I've watched in quite awhile nothing terrible which is rare for one of the big companies in 2026."

[10.0] "AEW Double Or Nothing 2026 is easily a top 5 PPV in AEW history, which is incredible considering the bar is incredibly high and yet the company continues to surpass itself. FTR vs. Cage/Cope: protect Christian Cage at all costs, by far the MVP of this match [****1/4], Okada vs. Takeshita: I knew that the day the final match happened would be legendary, and guess what? MOTY so far (good luck to anyone who wants to top this). Now with Takeshita's face turn, I want to see how he'll do without Don Callis as his mouthpiece [*****], Athena vs. Mina: the "worst" match of the show was still quite competent [***1/4], Moxley vs. O'Reilly: this match gave me a strong feeling of watching a worked shoot match, the focus on submissions and strikes makes it stand out on the show because there's nothing similar [***3/4], Ospreay vs. Joe: finally a match on par with Will Ospreay's pre-injury level, plus a monstrous performance from Samoa Joe (his best match in AEW) [****1/2], Swerve vs. Bandido: and the men's Owen Cup starts with two fantastic matches, here I just thought Bandido's neck selling was a bit exaggerated [****1/4], Thekla vs. Hayter vs. Shida vs. Statlander: good women's match, highlighting the long-awaited fight between Shida and Stat [****], Stadium Stampede: what a fun match! It made me laugh a lot, especially Luchassaurus taking a selfie with Andrade and the reunion of Lio Rush with Bobby Lashley [****1/4], Darby vs. MJF: deep down everyone knew Max would regain the title, but I weighed my options and rooted for Darby until the very end. The match itself was very good and the best in terms of psychology during the show, with the storyline of the champion's body breaking down due to exhaustion and the punishment of consecutive title defenses. MJF continues with a fantastic run at PPVs, and Darby leaves with one of the best world championship reigns, even with only a month of reign (and I'm shocked by Kevin Knight's heel turn after the main event) [****1/4]. Final score: 10/10."

[8.0] "A great card, I had nothing above an 8/10 but the floor was ridiculously high with almost everything being good to great. Swerve vs. Bandido was my match of the night, with some really impressive spots and great selling from Bandido, but aside from Athena vs. Shirakawa it was all good at least. Honestly this whole show is worth watching, I never felt bored!"

"I thoroughly loved the main event. I'll also say, the women's four-way match was a lot better than I expected it to be. Unfortunately, most of the card just didn't do it for me."

[10.0] "I have never seen a show before where you literally couldn't take a bathroom break or you'd probably miss something awesome. As far as I'm concerned, this is the best show of the year so far and one of the best I've ever seen."

[10.0] "Easily the best pro wrestling event of 2026 thus far, a Top 5 all time AEW event, and one of the very best wrestling shows in history. Aided by a raucus NYC crowd, the full roater of men and women came out to prove a point and they succeeded beyond any expectations. From the electric opener which saw Cope & Cage roll back the clock over 20 years and deliver a violent classic, to the sterling precision of Okada/Takeshita and Swerve/Bandido, to the extravagant absurdity of Stadium Stampede, to the intense brutality in Ospreay vs Joe and Darby vs MJF... This show has covered so much territory and was spectacular throughout. Only minor nit-picks are the women's division is lacking a little star power without Toni Storm and Mercedes, but the ones on the card still worked their butts off. Plus JR is just incapable of being a good commentator at this point, bless his heart. Loved the integration of Mick Foley. All together, a truly spectacular show."

[10.0] "I know we can keep saying this, but this is one of the greatest wrestling PPVS ever created. Its low spots were worthy MOTN contenders. Not one 'that'll do' moment in the whole show. I'm blown away by the quality. BLOWN AWAY."

[10.0] "I've been to a lot of wrestling shows, and I've enjoyed most of them. But this was probably the best wrestling show I've ever seen live. Without a doubt the craziest crowd I've been a part of. Not a single bad or boring match on the show, top to bottom amazing wrestling."

[10.0] "The 'worst' match on this show was Athena/Mina and it was still a perfectly fine match. That's how good this PPV was. Crowd was electric all night which gave every match that extra something to make it feel big time. Okada/Take & Joe/Ospreay were the type of matches that remind you why you love wrestling. Main event was great and really well done and capped off a unique Darby title run and story, which will be looked back fondly. I feel I could write another five paragraphs so I'll just say it was one of those shows that when it's over you are buzzing and feel like you wont be able to sleep afterwards. Just wonderful stuff."

"Nobody does ppv like AEW. They continue to show why buying a ppv from them is worth every penny. Great way to set up mjf vs ospreay in wembley."

[10.0] "This was incredible throughout the entire time, so many good matches, so much incredible stuff happening. AEW is incredible."

[10.0] "one of the best shows i have ever seen it was banger after banger after banger with none stop and i got choked that mjf win and kinda was upset that he didn't loss his hair but that kevin night turning heel shit was so good to close the show aew is getting their peak atp"

[10.0] "One of the greatest wrestling pay-per-views of all time. Tony Khan and All Elite Wrestling. Nobody does it like them. Nobody. There are levels to this game."

[10.0] "It is a level of quality that, right now, only AEW can consistently deliver. Banger after banger, with every match bringing something different to the table. You get technical wrestling, high flying action, violence, drama, comedy, storytelling, everything. AEW is probably the peak of wrestling entertainment right now, and honestly, it can compete in a broader conversation about the best entertainment products being produced today. Personally, this is the best PPV I have ever watched. From start to finish, it never stopped delivering, and every match felt like it had a purpose. An unforgettable show."

"Really great Double or Nothing PPV. Glad to see Adam Copeland & Christian getting the ending to their feud with FTR and help from Adam Copeland's wife Beth. I hope Konosuke Takeshita second reign is gonna be better. I had a feeling that Kyle Fletcher was gonna turn on takeshita. Should be an interesting program between the two moving forward. Little disappointed that Mina jobbed to Athena. Anybody that has a championship with AEW or ROH shouldn't be involved in the Owen Hart Tournament. Good match with Kyle O'Reilly/Moxley liked the respect handshake after the match with Kyle & Moxley. Good match with Swerve/Bandido. Not surprised that Thekla retained the women's championship. Really good & entertaining Stadium Stampede match, would have been nicer if they let the two teams brawl in the stands for one night, but I'm glad that both teams improvised real well. All the spots in the match were awesome. Darby Allin/MJF put on a hell of a match in the main event. Would have been a better feud between Kevin Knight/Darby if the world championship was involved."

[10.0] "Extremely enjoyable ppv, at no point did it feel like it wasn't awesome. If that isn't a 10, I am not sure what is. Perfection. My favorite match was Takeshita vs Okada, but that takes nothing away from the rest of the card. Just a tremendous show."

[10.0] "This being the first ppv i watched with my friends made this all time ppv 1000x better. This show was incredible."

[8.0] "Really good show, no bad matches. The opener was great for the most part, Okada and Takeshita were brilliant, Joe and Will had a fantastic match, the stampede match was fun and the main event delivered very well. Crowd were brilliant as well."

[10.0] "This show was freaking incredible, all the matches were amazing and was just all around great show. The I quit tag title match was very good and was happy to see Copeland and Cage win the tag titles. Okada vs Takeshita was fucking phenomenal, it was just an amazing match with a great/right outcome. After the match Kyle Fletcher returned and turned on Takeshita, if this means we get Fletcher vs Takeshita down the line, sign me up, that's my dream match. Mina vs Athena was easily the weakest match on the show, not saying it was terrible, it was still good, with all the matches on this show, it didn't stand out as much, still had good wrestling from both women. Moxley vs O'Reilly was really good, started off slow but started to get going later on. Both have good chemistry and this was their 2nd best match they've had. Ospreay vs Joe was fantastic, it was a fast pace battle between two great wrestlers, wish it got more than 13 minutes, but I still loved those 13 minutes we got. Swerve vs Bandido would've been my weakest match if the final few minutes didn't save it, after that amazing house call while still on Bandido's shoulders moment, the match picked up, wish the final few minutes transmitted throughout the whole thing. The women's 4 way was amazing and all four outdid themselves with the match, love all four women and worked tremendously together. The Stadium Stampede was cluster fuck of craziness but it was still so much fun to watch, so much crap happened in that match it was nuts, 31 minutes was too long maybe shave 5 or 6 minutes off of it. MJF vs Darby was a physical battle and a perfect main event, Darby put his body on the line here and sadly, all the pain caught up and MJF regained the title back. Out of nowhere Kevin Knight just turned heel on Darby, wasn't expecting that shit at all. Overall, this was an amazing show"

[10.0] "This is easily the best PPV that I have ever seen and run away PPV of the year. Nothing short of amazing throughout the entire show INCLUDING the amazing Mick Foley promo on the preshow. All timer PPV from start to finish. Everything was at least GREAT with multiple matches being INCREDIBLE and two of them (Okada/Take and MJF/Darby) being match of the year contenders. run away PPV for PPV of the year and probably my favorite PPV of all time. I would give it 11 points if I could"

[10.0] "Best AEW show of the year so far. It's hard to keep fans engaged when the very first match has a burning table spot, but they did. Fantastic show from top to bottom. 10/10."

[8.0] "Definitely one of the better PPVs in a long time for AEW. There were a lot of highs but also had some lows. Stadium stampede was my favorite match, Okada vs Takeshita was also really good. Main event was solid with an expected result. Men owen tournament matches were also good. Didn't care that much about the Moxley match. I Quit match was fine but I really wanna see fresh teams in the tag division. Women matches were the low point of the night, they're not really on par with the rest of the show and that sucks. Overall a positive outcome for such a messy build. I'm not super excited for the forbbiden door season but at least All In period is always somewhat intriguing so we'll see."

[10.0] "All killer no filler. Stadium Stampede is my new favourite gimmick match, I'm never left wanting. The opener was amazing and the main event was a perfect closer. Takeshita Vs Okada may have been the best match of the year and one of Okada's best matches ever which is quite the accomplishment considering his legacy already. Ospreay and Joe worked really well together and had a fun match. Swerve and Bandido told a good story and Swerve looked dominant in victory. Moxley and O'Reily delivered in very gritty and hard nosed affair. Mina and Athena put on a good show and I really enjoyed The Women's Title four way. I loved it, AEW is back on top form and I think this Summer is gonna be looking pretty hot for us AEW fans!"

[10.0] "If a perfect wrestling show is possible, this is a strong contender. Something for everyone on this show, every match delivered or over delivered, the possible angles coming out of it are super intriguing, a turn to end the show is always awesome, the crowd was insane with no let up all night, the building looked awesome, production was flawless, commentary was great, and every talent looked like and performed like a damn star. This roster AEW has assembled is as good as any ever. Incredible to think about who wasn't even on the show - Hangman, Jay White, Ciampa, Mistico, Speedball, Brodie King, Toni Storm, Mercedes, Gabe Kidd, Hechicero, Rascalz, Juice and Gunns, PAC, Josh Alexander, RUSH, Windsor, Willow, Persephone, and of course, Jeff Jarrett. Embarrassment of riches for TK to play with."

"As a primarily WWE watcher I do make a point to watch at least the AEW PPVs, and I gotta say this show was fucking excellent. That's it. Engaging from beginning to end, great pacing, no fluff as it should be. Just wish it started a bit earlier. MOTN was Takeshita/Okada, just awesome. Ospreay/Joe second with an excellent barn burner."

[10.0] "Excellent PPV for All Elite Wrestling once again, no bad matches, competitive tournament and championship matches, good women's wrestling, good chaos and violence, and a Main Event that concludes this show very well."

[10.0] "I was there live. The best show I've ever been to, with the original Grand Slam a close second. Just a phenomenal show with a great crowd. Very well paced, no match felt like it outlived its necessary time. The crowd around me was electric the entire time which elevated the experience."

[10.0] "Quite possibly the best PPV I've ever seen. Everything hit. There was amazing action, wacky hijinx and comedy, serious and focused storytelling. This is what pro wrestling is all about. The only thing worry about is that since everything was so great, I feel like individual matches might not get the respect they deserve. I thought Ospreay vs Joe was an easy 6 star match. The women's 4-way deserves its proper respect. I was wholely entertained. This is what pro-wrestling is all about."

[10.0] "This show was amazing from start to finish, probably one of the best PPVs I have ever seen. No match was bad and the worst match was still good. My two favorite matches were Okada vs Takeshita and Swerve vs Bandido, but still we had more incredibly good matches like the Tag Title Match, Ospreay and Joe or the main event. Fletcher turning on Takeshita broke my heart and the heel turn after the main event was something I did not expect at that point. I find it hard to criticize anything about this. Fun the whole time through, AEW is at an all time high for me at the moment."

"For me, this Double or Nothing was one of the best shows AEW has ever produced because virtually everything worked: it opened with an absolutely incredible 5-star match between FTR and Cope & Christian, kept the standard remarkably high with Okada vs Takeshita and several other strong matches across different styles, featured a women's division that was represented brilliantly, delivered a completely insane Stadium Stampede that managed to balance chaos and storytelling without becoming meaningless nonsense, and still closed with Darby vs MJF feeling like a genuinely important main event; the entire show had excellent pacing, a crowd that was fully invested, and that rare feeling that you were watching a truly historic PPV unfold live."

"(9.5/10) AEW does it again, always get your money worth when buying an AEW PPV. And Double or Nothing was no different!"

[10.0] "After Revolution from this year I thought that it couldn't be beat, but not even half a year later and they have outdone themselves once again, i didn't even think they would come close to last years DoN but AEW just keeps getting better and better! Bring on All In I will be there!"

[9.0] "Crazy that the weakest match is a 3.5* match that was supposed to be a tv match but was moved to the main card last minute. We're going to look back on this era very fondly despite its imperfections. PPV of the year so far and asides the unbelievable consistency of the match quality and their ability to keep you invested for over 4 hours, this show also gave us a bit of character and story progression with Kevin Knight and Kyle Fletcher. It seems like the general MOTN is the International title match but I'm actually inclined to give it to the main event. Again, extremely engaging show and both Kyle and Kevin's angles were well executed. I especially didn't see Kevin's coming for some reason. Gasped when he got back on the top rope. Excellent work and I hope the weekly kicks into 2nd gear from a story progression pov as they head to Wembley."

"Just an all timer show, top to bottom. Like everyone's already said all the things I could say. I'm normally an advocate that they need to cut these shows down by an hour but this was so good, the time flew by and I didn't skip a second. Just a fantastic show, one of those ones that will be talked about and remembered for years to come. Special shout out to the crowd, absolutely mental and loud alllll night. Just an insane energy. A building I wish I got to be in."

[10.0] "After the show's conclusion, in the sudden moments of silence as my screen turned to black, I was left with an increasingly familiar feeling that I've just experienced one of the most satisfying works of art in my life. For this site, I understand the high bar required to credibly rate a show at the highest level, so when I decided to leave my review, I really dug deep to find reasons to give this show a 9/10. My score is a 10/10. Well deserved. This is one of the greatest pro wrestling shows in history. My leading takeaway is that MJF really is the star of the promotion, and is essentially Tony Khan's Hulk Hogan, but a better person... and less bald."

[10.0] "Easily the best AEW show I have ever watched. Every match was atleast in the good range and the matches that I had high expectations with delivered. Matches ranged from being fun and creative- Stadium Stampede to being in-ring masterclasses- Okada vs Takeshita. While the Owen Hart Cup matches didn't have much hype, the matches being great results in a good outlook on the whole thing. We also saw some story progression with Kyle Fletcher attacking Takeshita which I didn't saw coming. Overall a top tier PPV. Eagerly waiting for Forbidden Door."

[10.0] "PPV of the year. Quite simply. An absolutely phenomenal show, top to bottom. Even the weakest match on this card was good. And the best was one of the best of the year. An outstanding show. AEW is on fire."

"Holy shittttt My favourite AEW show I think Okada Takeshita was perfect Ospreay goated like always Swerve Bandido was brazy MJF winning for a third time is beautiful"

[8.0] "This was mostly a very good show, including the pre show. Every match delivered, there were only a few downsides I can think of. One is the main event outcome. It felt deflating especially with so many quality hours that preceded it. Another LOLMJFWINS ending. Another MJF reign doesn't sound sound appealing to me. Another downside was there were times during Stadium Stampede where it felt very formulaic and choreographed. However the rest of the show was good. For me the Swerve vs Bandido match, this was a standout match, I think it was most memorable match for me. They did some genuinely amazing moves in that match, especially Swerve. Also Lio Rush again excelled in his brief appearance as a cameo during the Stadium Stampede. The women's matches were also very good, but it still feel like there needs to be more storyline there."

[10.0] "It feels like we say this often but this really was an all-timer of a PPV. Even the worst match (Athena/Mina) was pretty damn good."

[10.0] "Brillant brillant brillant show. Only one mid match out of 9, all the rest went from very good to bloody amazing. With on top of that some really good entertainment, stories told yo perfection, shocked moment... thank you AEW, at this point its the only thing I can say, thanks for existing and give us this alternative that we needed so much (and especially at this time)."

[10.0] "This is definitely the best PPV of the year so far. It'll take a lot to top this show. Everything was so engrossing, and the only match I liked the least was Athena and Mina Shirakawa, but even that was pretty good by the show's standards. AEW and their PPVs are at a very high level right now, and there's no arguing with that."

[8.0] "A good show. I wasn't as keen on some of the Owen matches, as they were predictable across the board, which I don't necessarily mind but not for a PPV even if the matches themselves were all good. I hated Moxley winning, there was no earthly reason for him to beat Kyle, it's like we can't have a single dude in AEW that doesn't job for Moxley eventually. The Kyle stuff was the only truly interesting bit of character work Moxley has done for years and they flushed it. Ok then. Was also disappointed that Max didn't get his head shaved. It was one of those things that they built up so fucking well I actually thought and wanted it to happen. Stampede match, as always, was pro wrestling nirvana for me."

[10.0] "This was an incredible show from start to finish. The stakes started high with an I Quit match for the ages. The right people won every single match, I'm, and I'm thrilled with the match quality and performances from these stars. If I had the slightest criticism, Mina and Athena had a little trouble getting started. But once they found their groove, they were great too."

[10.0] "I watched all AEWs PPV since Forbidden Door 2024 and amazes me that was already perfect then, but somehow they perfected the perfection. Every PPV excedes the others, like theres no limit to the amount of good shows they can put on. Crazy that 6 out 9 matches were amazing, 2 were great and the last one was one of the most creative and fun half hour of wrestling caos ive ever witness. So in love with AEW right now, thank you Tony Khan, thank you everyone for your amazing job. Definitly worth the suscription to myAEW."

[9.0] "A fantastic show with many great stories coming to an end, but the groundworks for the new stories are just as tantalizing. My only issue with the show is the womens matches didn't quite have enough bite. The womens title existed out of an obligation to get these women on the show but it feels as if the whole division is simply waiting for a big name to return or somebody to take the lead and rise up the card naturally. There was little momentum going in and without a real contender it was hard to convince anyone Thekla was ever really threatened to lose despite the odds in a 4-way. The Mina vs Athena match was also simply rough with multiple botches and pacing issues and would have been a skip on collision, much less following up the MoTY on a ppv. The show also desperately needs an intermission or some sort of longer nonwrestling segment to space things out a little. Often in these PPVs by the 6th match or so I am physically drained and just 15min or so would help me get back into things. My overall scores are posted below and you'll see a dip in the scores at that same time. That could be simply due to the fatigue I was feeling but I'm not going to pretend a match was better than I felt it was. Just something to consider in the future though a short intermission after match 5 or 6 on a card would do wonders. Here are my scores for all matches: FTR vs Cope and Christian - 8.25 Okada vs Takeshita - 10 Athena vs Mina - 4 Mox vs O'Reilly - 8.5 Joe vs Ospreay - 8 Swerve vs Bandido - 7.75 Women's 4 way - 7.5 Stadium Stampede - 8.5 MJF vs Darby - 9.25 Overall show - 8.75"

[10.0] "Always hesitant to call a show the best when it just happened, but at worst that was one of the top 3 AEW PPVs of all time and that says a lot because the bar for AEW PPVs is insanely high. Not a bad or even dull match on the show, and many of them were match of the year contenders. The crowd was also one of the best PPV crowds I can ever remember and they stayed insanely hot all night. This was the type of show that makes me love pro wrestling."

[10.0] "Simply not a bad match on the card. The whole show flew by. Yeah, I could nitpick the booking a bit in terms of a couple results but that's just a matter of personal preference. A lot of decent contenders for match of the night but man, that Okada/Takeshita match is as good as wrestling gets. Flat out. If this was your first night watching AEW, lucky you."

[10.0] "One of the best pay per views not only in All Elite history, but also in the pro-wrestling history, period. Lots of classics here and all matches were at least a 7/10 with loads of 8+. Incredible effort and memorables encounters by everyone. The stories told going in to the event were also great, the ME was special."

[10.0] "Overall, a spectacular show. There wasn't a single moment that felt like a waste of time; the matches were spectacular and didn't disappoint. The crowd was incredible, fully engaged throughout the entire PPV with amazing energy. By far the best AEW show of the year, and it comes close to the best the company has delivered since its inception. 10/10."

[10.0] "Yeah this was a really good show for me that went into the status of legendary because of three things. 1. The crowd. That fucking crowd man. I love wrestling more than any other art form because when the crowds are on fire, nothing else can touch it. And that crowd was peak. 2. The Kevin Knight moment. I have been watching Kevin Knight since he was a young lion on NJPW Strong. Knight and Clark Connors were the standouts at the time, and I am so glad to see them thriving. Knight is a future World Champion. 3. Swerve's house call of the top of Bandido's shoulder. Both guys deserve absolute praise for putting together a banger match. Loved it."

[10.0] "This is EASILY PPV of the Year so far, and the only PPV that I can see being better is AEW All In London 2026. Top to bottom, this card was incredible, and the crowd was hot for all 4 hours of this show. I genuinely can't tell you which match was my favorite. Takeshita vs Okada with that heartshattering post-match angle (RIP ProtoShita </3), Ospreay vs Joe felt like a great first match of what will definitely be revisited when Ospreay wins the big one later this year, Swerve vs Bandido with some incredibly creative spots in what was the death slot for them having to follow up the previous matches, and MJF vs Darby in what was the most unpredictable prowrestling main event in a long time. All the AEW wrestlers are really giving it all right now, and it's paying dividends. AEW in 2026 is ON FIRE."

[10.0] "A top five AT LEAST AEW PPV of all time, it could very well be the best one of all time. Loaded card from top to bottom, no real bad matches on the card. My favorites were the opener, the international title match, and the main event, which was my match of the night. Highly recommend going back to watch this show if you missed it"

[10.0] "Was die Produktions - und Wrestlingqualität, Stories, Angles, Returns, Crazy Spots etc. angeht, habe ich in 20 Jahren Wrestling selten bis nie so einen PPV erlebt. Das gilt übrigens auch für die Crowd. Ich gebe hier ohne schlechtem Gewissen die vollen 10 Punkte. Danke Tony Khan, weitermachen."

[10.0] "Top to bottom, another all time PPV from AEW. Great opener, a match of the year contender in Takeshita & Okada. So freaking happy to see Fletcher back. Athena and Mina was fun, I am in love with Kyle O'Reilly, and while I'm sad he didn't win, I'm glad AEW gave him a shot. Mox is great as always. Joe and Ospreay was very very good, although Will looked weird not entering in one of his big fluffy robes. Swerve and Bandido was good, if a little underwhelming. Hoping they one day get more time, perhaps for the AEW World title? Really good 4 way as well. Thekla is easily one of AEW's best signings in recent memory. Then there's Stadium Stampede, and an instant classic of a main event. All I can say is this is AEW, baby. Stadium Stampede legitimately felt like an episode of a sitcom. So many fun moments, crazy spots, and Kenny having a moment to remind everyone he's one the best wrestlers of all time. MJF and Darby was fantastic, and while I'm sad Darby lost, I believe it opens the door for him to get it again. Also, S T U N N E D that Kevin Knight turned here. Very intrigued to see where it goes. All timer PPV right here, but that's just what AEW does"

[10.0] "This is an all time show. Not a bad match on the card, crowd as hot all night. Paced well, match order was perfect with no real room for fatigue. Two really great angles with Fletcher and Knight. So happy for Takeshita, he killed it tonight. Maybe my favorite AEW PPV ever."

[9.0] "In terms of match quality, definitely my favorite AEW PPV of the year. Opening match was fun, Takeshita/Okada was otherwordly (MOTN), Athena/Mina was solid, Moxley/O'Reilly was a good closer to their feud, Ospreay/Joe and Bandido/Swerve were great, Four Way was good, Stadium Stampede was very fun, & MJF/Darby was actually a great MJF PPV main event. Unhappy about MJF winning, but that's mostly because I don't have much interest in Ospreay/MJF. It didn't hurt the PPV too much for me though. Fletcher/Knight heel turns were a shock, will have to wait and see how they go. 8.5/10 if I could but I'll round up for now"

[10.0] "Perfect show, from top to bottom. Literally the worst you can say about is that Athena vs. Mina was perfectly servicable, but neither woman's best night ever. And that while that Continental Title match was FANTASTIC there BETTER be a really good end in sight for Moxley's reign. Other than that, I cannot think of any way to really improve it. That was perfection itself."

[9.0] "A very smooth show with no real duds. It didn't quite reach the heights for me that other AEW PPVs have, but with Okada v. Takeshita and Allin v. MJF, it was certainly an evening well spent. I got lost in the volume of first round Owen Hart matches, despite each of them feeling like a well put together match in isolation."

[10.0] "This is one of the best AEW PPV of the year and I hope this enters as the new standart for each en every single PPV from now on HOT AND NOISY CROWD mixed with a Great Quality in ring of each and every single one of the wrestlers out there , they all deserve their flowers and specially their respect. Each and every single match is awesome and plus, some of the turns are great, like Takeshita returning to be a babyface as he always needed to be, and the MF JET who finally decided to stop trying to be nice and save everyone. LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO"

[9.0] "Just an amazing show top to bottom with really no misses. I wouldn't rate anything on here < 3.5 which is crazy especially considering there is nine matches on the card. The Stadium Stampede and MJF/Darby are both 5 stars to me, and Takeshita/Okada was not far behind. Even the "weaker" matches on this show were still good such as Mina/Athena or Moxley/KOR. Best show of the year for me to be completely honest."

[10.0] "After last years unbelievably strong DoN I wasn't sure if this years would live up as I haven't been overall too massively enthralled with the storylines heading in, i've liked them but not loved them, but of course this is AEW, and this is where the best wrestle, the in-ring action tonight was at levels unheard of, everything hit, not a single bad match, even Athena/Mina hit on a higher level than expected, unbelievable stuff, an unbelievable vibe to the entire night, incredible, the fake out with Kyle Fletcher being my peak of the night, incredible."

[10.0] "Yeah i don't fucking know how but they have somehow one upped last years show. 365 days later i am sat here at 5:15 in the Morning with my jaw on the floor as that was 4 hours and 10 minutes of fucking spellbinding magic and the best of what pro wrestling is in 2026. Just like last year the lowest match on the card was a 3.5 star for me with everything else being above 4 stars. It was just an other worldly level of quality to the likes i think we will be lucky to see again. Mina/Athena was solid with some great hard hitting spots. We finally got a women's 4 way that was cohesive and well booked with some stiff action. Mox/KOR was a little below my expectations but still a great match. CnC/FTR was so match when with some amazing moments in particular the table spot. Both Ospreay/Joe and Swerve/Bandido were two of the best sprints i have ever seen just all thriller no filler. Stampede was just balls to the wall fun for 30 minutes with some great spots and some funny cameos. Oh the main event was just great and Darby ends the best run with the belt in the only way it should with him going out on his shield after nearly dying a couple times another great performance from MJF as well. Not only that we also had two fucking excellent heel turns. Well i guess Kyle is just more heel now the DCF 3 way at Wembley is going to be sexual man. But my days the ending of the show had my fucking jaw on the floor man mainly as i had shifted to the idea of Speedball being the one to turn heel but Kevin's turn was so fucking well executed. Overall i said it last year but i think this might beat it to the best PPV i have ever watched. Show of the year sown up in my once again."

[10.0] "Literally not a single bad match on the show. Everyone worked incredibly hard and well together, so much creativity and passion on display. Highlights of the show for me are Takeshita/Okada, Swerve/Bandido and Stadium Stampede. Plus also a big fan on Kevin Knight's heel turn and Kyle Fletcher's betrayal of Takeshita. Very interested to see where several storylines go, great show. Only negative was the absense of Willow/Windsor, which is no one's fault, but totally gutted for them both as they deserved to be on this show, as did Athena/Mina. I hope Willow recovers soon, but AEW is in safe hands until she does."

[10.0] "Second best ppv of the year so far behind revelution literally every single match was great not every one was good but great 8/10 over 4 stars. It had in my opinion three match of the year contenders in serve and bandido, Takeshita and Okada, and, max and Darby. It also had a hot angle to end the show with the Kevin knight heel turn that was surprising and intriguing"

[9.0] "Never underestimate an All Elite PPV--that's the lesson to take away. Even when it doesn't look that exciting on paper because of the build-up, the actual event always delivers an insane level of action. A big shout-out to the crowd, too they were incredible."

[8.0] "This was a hell of a PPV once again from AEW. The spotlight without a question of a doubt was Okada vs Takeshita, but that was to be expected wasn't it. Besides that, what a match between Joe and Ospreay, you can feel the run building as we head towards All In for Will. Have to say the stadium stampede was a bit disappointing, the amount of backstage segments certainly killed some momentum of that chaotic feel they were going for. Good main event. Sick fire spot in the opening match. Quality product."

[10.0] "Double or Nothing was my favorite 2025 PPV and up there with my favorite AEW PPVs and favorite PPVs in general and I think tonight somehow surpassed it. To run a show for four and a half hours and have your floor be a 7/10 and maintain a hot sold out crowd from start to finish in an iconic stadium and give the people memorable results, great matches and new interesting directions/angles is nothing short of sensational. The show flew by and I loved how different each match was, they setup a ton of new stuff and furthered some ongoing stuff while putting on MOTW, MOTM and MOTY contenders. Long live professional wrestling, this might be my new favorite show of all time."

[10.0] "Double or Nothing 2025 happened last year and genuinely believed it to be my favorite PPV of all time. Somehow 2026 rolls around and blows it out of the water! I'm not even sure there's a match on this show that went under the 7.5 threshold for me. AEW's standard for PPVs is so ridiculous as is and yet this one stands out as perhaps the best they've ever done in front of one of the hottest crowds I've heard in ages. They had a lot of eyes on them tonight and shined in every way imaginable. MOTN goes to Takeshita vs Okada but I have a very soft spot for that incredible main event that felt like the best parts of the Attitude Era."

[10.0] "This was one of the best shows of all time. 9 matches, not a single one was bad, and two of them were classics. Not just great matches, but there were also great angles, with the return of Kyle Fletcher and the heel turn of Kevin Knight. A fantastic show that once again proved that AEW is the best company in the world right now. 10/10"

[10.0] "[9.5] A fantastic return to form after a streak of PPVs that were, for one reason or another, frankly not up to the (very high) standards AEW have set for themselves. Cope/Cage vs FTR was a really fun plunder match that I went in expecting to really hate, Takeshita/Okada was fantastic, far and away the MOTN and is probably going to be on most people's MOTY lists, Athena/Mina was really good, Mox/Kyle was fantastic, Ospreay/Joe was a great sprint that I feel got shown up by Swerve/Bandido, the Women's 4way was good, Stadium Stampede was really fun but probably one of the weaker outings for this type of stip. Max/Darby was really good, got the belt of Darby, and set up heel Kevin Knight, which I'm massively down for. Overall, fantastic show. Definitely watch Takeshita/Okada, Mox/Kyle, and the two Men's Owen matches."

[10.0] "The best show of the year (so far), and the best AEW PPV since last years double or nothing. Incredible from top to bottom. Stadium Stampede is one of the most fun matches this year. Bandido vs Swerve, and even more so Darby vs MJF are MOTY contenders. All of this with the best crowd of the year (so far) as well. To cap it all off, we get a shocking heel turn from Kevin Knight. Can't praise this show enough."

[10.0] "I said 364 days ago, that Double or Nothing 2025 was an all-timer show, on the level of Wrestle Kingdom 11, All Out 2021, or WrestleMania X-7. The sort of show you remember for ages, it's that generational. Well, AEW definitely took the event name to heart because by going double or nothing this year, they came up trumps once again. Definitely up there with the quality you expect of AEW PPVs, and then some. Not a single bad match. Not a single "just okay" match. From 8pm to just gone midnight, just banger, after banger, after banger. By the main event, the opener seems like an age ago, but like Kylo Ren in the AT-AT, you're screaming for more. What an absolute marvel of a show, from top to bottom. And you know what they say about New York: if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. AEW is on fucking fire right now. Long may it continue."
