AEW Double or Nothing 2025 was a testament to the promotion’s evolution, blending established stars, fresh faces, and compelling narratives to deliver a show that reaffirmed AEW’s place as a powerhouse in professional wrestling.Double or Nothing delivered a masterclass in professional wrestling, showcasing a revitalized All Elite Wrestling that has rebounded from a challenging 2024. With a well-rounded card, strategic roster adjustments, and compelling storytelling, AEW proved it’s in a strong position from top to bottom, captivating fans with high-octane matches and fresh rivalries.The **Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Final** saw Will Ospreay and Hangman Adam Page deliver a classic that lived up to the hype of an already stellar pay-per-view. Page’s victory cemented his resurgence as a top star, while Ospreay’s electrifying performance kept him a fan favorite, setting the stage for future clashes.In the **Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Final**, Mercedes Moné defeated Jamie Hayter to earn a shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship. Moné, having solidified her identity since Kamille’s face turn, showcased her dominance as a heel champion. A year into her AEW run, Moné has conquered territories and remains a cornerstone of the women’s division.The **AEW World Tag Team Championship** match saw The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin) overpower the Sons of Texas (Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara). The Hurt Syndicate injected new life into a stagnant tag team division, evoking the dominance of WCW’s Doom and Harlem Heat. Their reign promises fresh challenges, while FTR and The Young Bucks remain entangled in separate, gripping storylines.FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) leaned into their heel personas, channeling the Midnight Express in a thrilling **tag team match** against Nigel McGuinness and Daniel Garcia. Garcia’s pure babyface push resonated with the crowd, but FTR’s cunning tactics secured the win, proving they remain a draw without titles, as fans eagerly await their comeuppance.The **Six-Man Tag Team Match** pitted Paragon (Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, & Kyle O’Reilly) against The Don Callis Family (Kyle Fletcher, Konosuke Takeshita, & Lance Archer). The Family’s dominance was undeniable, overpowering Paragon in a chaotic spectacle that somehow kept the crowd roaring despite following the intense Anarchy in the Arena. AEW’s knack for building hated heels shone through, with the Family emerging as a formidable force.The **Anarchy in the Arena** match was pure madness, as Kenny Omega, Swerve Strickland, Willow Nightingale, and The Opps (Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, & Katsuyori Shibata) clashed with the Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Marina Shafir, & Wheeler Yuta) and The Young Bucks (Matthew & Nicholas Jackson). The babyface team triumphed after the Death Riders were detained in an ambulance from the stretcher match and The Young Bucks were neutralized, delivering a satisfying conclusion to a wild brawl.In a **stretcher match**, Ricochet defeated Mark Briscoe, fully embracing his fleshed-out heel persona. His ruthless performance marked a turning point, establishing him as a top-tier antagonist in AEW.The **AEW Continental Championship** match saw Kazuchika Okada defend his title against Speedball Mike Bailey in a technical masterpiece. Okada’s precision outmatched Bailey’s high-flying brilliance, though Bailey’s performance echoed his standout TNA run, proving he’s a rising star.Meanwhile, at **NXT Battleground**, cross-promotional action took center stage. Trick Williams captured the TNA World Championship by defeating TNA’s Joe Hendry, a historic moment for NXT and TNA’s partnership. Oba Femi retained the NXT Championship against Myles Borne, and Stephanie Vaquer successfully defended the NXT Women’s Championship against Jordynne Grace, further solidifying NXT’s dominance.Contact KOP for professional podcast production, imaging, and web design services at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comSupport KOP by subscribing to his YouTube channel and search for King Of PodcastsFollow KOP on X and TikTok @kingofpodcasts (F Meta!)Listen to KOP’s other programs, Podcasters Row… and the Wrestling is Real Wrestling Podcast and The Broadcasters Podcast.Buy KOP a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=3TAB983ZQPNVLDrop KOP a CashApp https://cash.app/$kingofallpodcastsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wrestling-is-real-wrestling-podcast--1559158/support.
