AEW Double Or Nothing
July 14, 2019
Live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada
The scene opens with a live shot of the electrifying crowd jam packed in the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada! A huge pyro display shoots off on the stage as the announcers welcome us to AEW’s first ever pay-per-view, Double Or Nothing. We get a brief rundown of the card before we head straight to the ring for our opening contest.
Match 1
Ace Romero v. Lance Archer
Ace Romero is out first to a nice little pop from the crowd. Out next is Lance Archer with a diabolical look in his eyes. The bell sounds and the opening contest for Double Or Nothing begins! Archer goes on the early attack trying to wear down the big man with punches to the head and body shots. Romero absorbs a majority of the blows and hits a big slam on Archer. Romero goes for a big splash but Archer gets out of the way. Both men continue to exchange brutal offense, and Romero hits a huge POUNCE knocking Archer out! Archer rolls outside the ring and Romero follows. Romero goes to pick up Archer but Archer pulls Romero into the steel steps on the outside. Both men end up getting back in the ring before the ten count is reached. Archer is hurting from the Pounce. They continue to exchange offense with Romero getting the upperhand, hitting Archer with another Pounce, and pinning for the 1...2...3!
Winner: Ace Romero by pinfall
After the match, Romero celebrates up the ramp. Archer looks on with a sinister grin on his face.
Match 2
AEW World Tag Team Championships
Young Bucks v. oVe v. Mystery team
The Young Bucks make their way to the ring to a big pop, followed by Jake and Dave Crist of oVe to a chorus of boos from the crowd. The two teams stand in the ring as the referee keeps them separated. Both teams anxiously await the arrival of the third mystery team…
It’s Gallows and Anderson - The Good Brothers have arrived in All Elite Wrestling! A huge pop from the crowd erupts as the Good Brothers march their way to the ring throwing up the “too sweet” to the fans delight.
The bell sounds and the match is underway. Nick Jackson, Doc Gallows, and Jake Crist are the first three competitors in the match. We see Gallows and Jackson work over Crist before miscommunication causes Jackson to hit a huge superkick on Gallows. Gallows falls to the mat and Jackson shrugs. This miscommunication causes Crist to get the advantage by attacking Jackson. Gallows makes the tag to Anderson who comes in and at this point we see some great triple threat style wrestling. With Dave Crist, Karl Anderson, and Matt Jackson in the ring at this point, Crist is knocked out from a superkick. Matt Jackson and Karl Anderson are struggling to get the upperhand on each other, but out of nowhere, Anderson hits a huge STUN GUN on Matt Jackson! He goes for the cover...1...2...3! GALLOWS AND ANDERSON HAVE DONE IT!
Winners by pinfall and NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions: The Good Brothers
Mark Henry appears on the big screen and the fans go wild! They have no clue why the World’s Strongest Man is here, but they are all ears as Henry begins to speak.
“Good evening ladies and gentlemen. What a great show this has been, right? I mean we’re seeing big debuts, physical matches, and my favorite part...people getting their asses kicked. But the night’s not over yet! So you may be wondering, what is Mark Henry doing? Well I got a call from my friend Tony Khan who told me he needed some assistance. He said he wanted someone who was fair, just, and could keep the locker room in line while making decisions that are good for AEW’s show Dynamite. So he said hey Mark, are you interested in being our General Manager for Dynamite? And I took him up on his offer. So start on the next episode of Dynamite, I’m gonna be in charge and make sure this place runs as smooth as possible. See you guys next week.”
Match 3
Adam Page v. Jay White
Adam Page and Jay White are in the ring. The crowd is hot for the Hangman and very critical of the Switchblade. The bell sounds and Hangman immediately jumps on the offense, knowing that Jay White has been running his mouth! White quickly rolls out of the ring as the fans begin to boo. In only a matter of seconds, Jay White turns around and begins leaving as the boos continue to reign down on him! White turns back and yells “not tonight, Hangman!” and heads to the back. The referee’s ten count has been reached, and Adam Page is your winner. The fans and Hangman both are frustrated by White’s conduct, but the look in Hangman’s eyes lets us know this is far from over.
Winner: “Hangman” Adam Page by countout
Joey Ryan is out in the ring. He says it’s time for the first ever Dong Style Open Challenge. He says if you want to feel his power, come out right now and he’ll show you what he’s made of.
MARTY SCURLL IS ALL ELITE! The Villain begins making his way to the ring, only as he can, as the fans cheer. Marty enters the ring and removes his ring gear. Joey Ryan doesn’t look concerned in the slightest. The bell sounds and immediately Ryan begins convincing Marty to see what he’s capable of. Ryan attempts to grab Marty by the wrist, but Marty grabs Joey’s hands and does his finger break spot! The crowd laughs and cheers as Ryan screams in pain. The match comes to an end when Scurll locks on the crossface chickenwing, and Ryan taps immediately.
Winner of the Dong Style Open Challenge: Marty Scurll
Match 4
AEW Women’s Championship
Beth Phoenix © v. Ronda Rousey
Out first is the AEW Women’s Champion, Beth Phoenix, to a great reaction from the crowd. Out next is the debuting Ronda Rousey, out to a chorus of boos after her vicious attack on the fan favorite Beth Phoenix. Beth hands the women’s championship to the referee, and this bout is underway. Ronda charges out of the corner and begins striking Beth, not even giving the Glamazon a chance to mount any offense. Ronda continues working over Beth with a series of strikes before attempting an armbar, but Beth is strong enough to prevent that from happening and gets Ronda down in a side headlock. Ronda transitions out of it and into an attempted armbar looking to finish the match quickly, but Beth escapes. Both women are up to their feet. Ronda swings at Beth, but Phoenix ducks and manages to get Ronda up in the air with a military press slam! Beth continues working over Ronda but it doesn’t last long, as Ronda tackles Beth to the mat and begins punching her repeatedly. The ref pulls Ronda off to check on Beth. Ronda goes over to Beth to continue her assault but Beth rolls Ronda up in a small package! 1! 2! 3! Beth retains her title!
Winner and still AEW Women’s Champion: Beth Phoenix by pinfall
The New Day begin to make their way to the ring as the fans cheer! Big E, Xavier Woods, and Kofi Kingston begin to head their way to the ring for the much anticipated “State of the New Day” address.
The three members of the New Day stand outside the ring, as the fans begin to become confused. New Day’s demeanour begins to change as they seem less than excited to be there. Their theme music stops and they continue just staring at the ring. They begin to talk amongsts themselves as the arena has grown quiet. Just a few moments later, the New Day turn around and begins to walk up the ramp. Some fans begin to boo, while the rest of the audience is confused, as the New Day make their way backstage. So much for that.
The crowd goes wild as former WWE superstar, ELIAS, appears on the big screen! Elias is standing in an inconspicuous location as he thinks about what he’s going to say. “Elias” chants fill the arena and he just shakes his head and smirks.
“All Elite Wrestling has been said to be a place where the best of the best come to prove themselves. I’ve got something a little bigger to prove, though. For months, I was a puppet on a corporate string dancing around to appease men in suits with a superiority complex. That’s when I got the call about AEW and I knew I had to make my move. You see, this isn’t about making empty suits happy. This isn’t about proving yourself to a senile old man with an outdated business regimen. Something like that is better suited for a young rich kid with a silver spoon stuck in his mouth wearing scarves that cut off the oxygen to his brain. But for me? This is about playing my songs, my way. Music is like a time machine. Some songs take us to a place we have been, while some songs take us to a place we wish we were. I’ve finally arrived at the place I want to be. Elias was nothing more than a corporate creation designed to appeal to the masses. Let it be known that Elias is dead. And soon, you will all get to witness the Virtuoso of Violence take his place on the big stage - and his name...is Logan Shulo.”
Match 5
AEW National Championship
Brian Cage © v. “Big” Mike Elgin
Brian Cage and Mike Elgin stand across from each other, ready for battle. Cage hands his National Championship to the referee. The bell sounds and the clash of the titans is underway! Both men lock up and begin to trade offense. A huge boot from Cage, a powerslam from Elgin, an enziguri from Cage, a powerbomb from Elgin - this match is nothing short of physical. The crowd is in awe at the impressive athleticism from Brian Cage as he nails a huge flipping piledriver for the near fall! Cage continues to dominate Elgin, but out of nowhere he hits a huge ELGIN BOMB! 1! 2! NO! Near fall! Elgin looks at the referee in disbelief. Elgin goes to set Cage up for another Elgin Bomb but it’s quickly reversed into a DRILL CLAW! 1! 2! 3! Brian Cage retains his National Championship!
Winner and still AEW National Champion: Brian Cage by pinfall

As all three men stand in their respective corners, the crowd is off the chain! All three men eyeball each other patiently waiting for the bell to sound. The tension in the ring can be cut with a knife as dueling chants supporting both Kenny and Cody begin to resonate in the arena. The bell sounds and here we go! Kenny immediately goes on the attack for Kross and begins pummeling Kross in the corner! Cody stands back allowing Kenny to mount offense on the Tollman. Kenny’s offense is short lived as Kross begins hammering away at Kenny. Cody interjects and begins hammering away at Kross much to the delight of the fans! Kross grabs Cody by the neck and tosses him out of the ring as if he were a child! Kross and Omega continue to brawl with Kenny using his speed to his advantage. V-TRIGGER! Kross is dazed as Kenny goes for the quick cover, but it’s not enough in the early going. Cody finds himself back in the ring and cuts off Kenny’s momentum with a chop block. Kross wastes no time going right after Cody, delivering a massive chokeslam! A near fall for Kross just angers him and he begins punching away at the forehead of Cody.
All three men continue dealing damage to each other until PCO and BRODY KING rear their ugly heads into the match! The fans begin booing as both men stand on the ring apron taunting Cody who has been in control of the match at this point. Cody knocks PCO off the apron and Kenny comes out of nowhere with a huge running boot to knock King off the apron! Both men look to each other, about to brawl once again, but Kross takes them both out with a vicious double clothesline. Kross continues to work Cody over while Kenny rolls to the outside of the ring. After mounting a big comeback, Cody hits the CROSS RHODES! 1…...2…...THR...NO! Kross kicks out! Cody looks at the ref in disbelief and begins arguing with the ref. While this is happening, JAMES MITCHELL is on the outside of the ring beating Kenny Omega with his cane! The fans are in an uproar but the referee is oblivious to what’s happening. PCO rolls Kenny back into the ring as Cody looks at him, telling him to get lost. Then…

A fallen Cody and Kenny Omega are out cold on the mat and on the outside, respectively. Killer Kross looks at his newly won AEW World Championship with a sinister grin. PCO, Brody King, and James Mitchell join The Herald of Doomsday in celebrating as fans begin throwing trash into the ring.
With that, AEW’s first pay-per-view goes off the air leaving the fans in awe.
