History was made in the pro wrestling world at the Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens when MJF defeated Darby Allin for the AEW World Championship in a high-stakes ‘Hair vs. Title’ match at All Elite Wrestling’s ‘Dou­ble Or Nothing’ Pay-Per-View on Sunday, May 24, 2026.

AEW delivered an unforgettable event last weekend. The loaded card featured match-ups that kept the sold-out crowd white-hot throughout the evening. Grudges were set­tled, and a multitude of championships changed hands on Sunday night. Hardcore legend and Hall of Famer Mick Foley also made his highly anticipated AEW debut at the ‘Buy In’ portion of the show.

Adam Copeland and Christian Cage shocked the entire industry when they became AEW Tag Team Champions after defeating FTR in a brutal ‘I Quit’ match to officially kick off ‘Double Or Nothing.’ It was the team’s first cham­pionship win together in over 25 years. The match featured a barbed-wire baseball bat and a flaming table. It wasn’t for the weak at heart. Konosuke Takeshita and Kazuchika Okada also competed in a classic battle over the AEW International Championship. Takeshita defeated Okada to ce­ment his legacy as one of the best current pro wrestlers alive today. The Stadium Stampede match returned to the company and created a memorable atmosphere at the Louis Armstrong Stadium. The team of Chris Jericho, Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, Kenny Omega, Jack Perry, Matt Jackson, and Nick Jackson toppled Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona, Mark Davis, Andrade El Idolo, Clark Connors, and David Finlay in a wild brawl that took place all over the stadium in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Another standout match saw Will Ospreay spectacularly defeat Samoa Joe in the Men’s Owen Hart Cup Quarterfi­nal.

In the main event, underdog World Champion Darby Allin put his title on the line against AEW’s top villain, Maxwell Jacob Friedman. MJF agreed to shave his head if he lost. It was a contest where both men had everything to lose. AEW fans were fiercely behind Allin, rooting for him to put his opponent away. It was a match that could have gone either way. At the end of the show, MJF’s risky gam­ble paid off, as he defeated Allin in a hard-fought battle to become a 3-time AEW World Champion while keeping his precious hair on his head.

Adam Copeland and Christian Cage turned back the clock and put a vicious beatdown on FTR to win AEW Tag Team Gold in Queens.
