MJF had a rough night in Vegas, but Wardlow is finally free.
AEW Double Or Nothing opened with MJF vs. Wardlow, and it was a pretty one-sided match as Wardlow hit ten powerbombs on the way to victory. MJF ended up getting stretchered out after the match, and Wardlow finally got his official “All Elite” graphic.
Check out a full recap from the match courtesy of our live coverage page:
MJF vs. Wardlow
MJF enters to loud boos and milks the crowds’ jeers. He does an airplane taunt in the ring, seemingly in reference to the report that a plane ticket out of Las Vegas was purchased for him on Saturday. Wardlow enters, handcuffed and surrounded by security guards. MJF leaves the ring once Wardlow enters. The bell rings, and MJF goes back outside. The fans chant “He showed up” at MJF. “The Salt of the Earth” attacks Wardlow from behind, and the powerhouse no-sells it. Wardlow gets his hands on MJF, who goes for a sunset flip to no avail. “Mr. Mayhem” goes for a powerbomb, and MJF bites his way out. MJF thumbs Wardlow in the eye and gets a two count after he counters a powerbomb. He seemingly hurts his leg and cries out. He takes the Dynamite Diamond Ring out of his trunks, and the referee stops him from using it.
MJF tries to talk to Wardlow and offers him a handshake. Wardlow shakes his hand and holds on. He then powerbombs MJF, much to the crowd’s delight. He poses and hits another powerbomb. He taunts and hits two more powerbombs. Wardlow breaks his own pin so he can inflict even more punishment. He hits three more powerbombs and pins MJF for the win.
Winner: Wardlow
After the match, MJF is taken out of the ring on a stretcher. The broadcast team announces that Wardlow is now officially a member of All Elite Wrestling.
