Heel Turn: AEW's Double or Nothing sets the bar, Michin's moment and more from pro wrestling

Will Ospreay spoke to reporters at the AEW Double or Nothing post-show scrum on May 24, 2026.

New York City became the epicenter of pro wrestling on Sunday night as All Elite Wrestling (AEW) took over Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens.

The consensus is in, and it was pretty clear from sitting in the stands just in front of the hard camera, this instance of Double or Nothing was the best pay-per-view in AEW’s history. It has a shot to be the event of the year next to WrestleMania Night 2 — but we can debate that at another time. 

The New York crowd was electric from start to finish. Mick Foley received a huge pop when he was introduced as Renee Paquette’s broadcast partner. As the matches got started, there were none that didn’t get "oos and ahs" from the thousands in attendance. 

The intimate environment, perhaps, made every match more exciting one after the other.

Stadium Stampede also brought some fun. "Jungle" Jack Perry nearly murdered Mark Davis with his bud. Luchasaurus dressed in a wig and nearly smooched Andrade El Idolo. Satnam Singh, Tommy Invincible and Lio Rush made surprise appearances. But it was ultimately Chris Jericho’s team that got the win. 

Meanwhile, Darby Allin tried his hardest to shave MJF’s head. But it was MJF that took back the AEW World Championship to become a three-time champion by the age of 30. At the end of the event, Kevin Knight turned heel and attacked Allin who was placed on a stretcher.
