The Buy-In Pre-Show

Who will leave with the win?
Who will leave with the win?

Private Party vs Best Friends

The Buy-In will see tag-team action with Private Party facing Best Friends. Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen haven't been around for a bit thanks to the coronavirus restrictions and they could be a little rusty going into this one. Best Friends, on the other hand, have been on AEW television in recent weeks and will be ready to go.

Penelope Ford vs Kris Statlander

Kris Statlander was supposed to face Dr. Britt Baker at Double or Nothing, but the doctor had to pull out of the match after getting injured on Dynamite earlier this week. Baker will be replaced by Penelope Ford who is a talented wrestler in her own right. As talented as Ford is, she has a tough task ahead of her against the "Galaxy's Greatest Alien" at Double or Nothing.

Shawn Spears vs Dustin Rhodes

Also on AEW Double or Nothing, Dustin Rhodes takes on Shawn Spears. This match came into fruition after Spears called out Dustin Rhodes on Dynamite this week. Dustin Rhodes was recently a part of the TNT Championship tournament, as was Shawn Spears. Dustin Rhodes made it to the semifinals where he was decimated by Lance Archer while Spears lost in the first round to Cody.

Rhodes doesn't have anything left to prove in this industry but this match will be a chance for Spears to get some momentum behind him.

MJF vs Jungle Boy

MJF will be in singles action against Jungle Boy at AEW Double or Nothing. This is low-key one of the matches I'm looking forward to the most on the card and both men have the capability to put on something special.

MJF, one of the most dastardly heels we've seen in years, decimated Marko Stunt on Dynamite earlier this week before "making him kiss the ring". Can Jungle Boy get some modicum of revenge for his stablemate or will Wardlow's presence prove decisive once again?

Nyla Rose (C) vs Hikaru Shida (for the AEW Women's Championship)

Nyla Rose will defend the AEW Women's Championship in a No DQ match against Hikaru Shida.

Shida has been in blistering form in recent months and should prove to be the Native Beast's most dangerous challenger yet. Although it's going to be an uphill battle for Shida, with Rose having a massive size and strength advantage, there is no doubt that she definitely has a shot at leaving as the champion even though it will be difficult.

Casino Ladder Match - Darby Allin vs Orange Cassidy vs Colt Cabana vs Joey Janela vs Scorpio Sky vs Luchasaurus vs Kip Sabian vs Frankie Kazarian vs mystery competitor (Winner gets an AEW Championship shot)

Who will the mystery entrant be?
Who will the mystery entrant be?

Fenix had to pull out of this match after his injury on Dynamite earlier this week and he will be replaced by the "Bad Boy" Joey Janela. We have a number of talented and experienced competitors in this match, as well as a mystery competitor who hasn't yet been revealed.

With a guaranteed title shot on the line, there's definitely a chance we see some crazy spots in this one. If I had to choose a winner from those named already, I'd have to go with Darby Allin.

Cody vs Lance Archer (to crown the first AEW TNT Champion)

This one will be a barnburner. The finals of the TNT Championship tournament sees Cody facing Lance Archer to crown the first AEW TNT Champion. Archer has been on a rampage since his AEW debut, running through every opponent put in front of him.

We saw both men's managers - Arn Anderson and Jake Roberts - in a sit-down interview on Dynamite earlier this week and both men clearly know the importance of this match.

Cody beat Shawn Spears and Darby Allin to get to the final while Lance Archer beat Colt Cabana and Cody's brother Dustin Rhodes to reach the final.

As we all remember, Cody cannot challenge for the AEW World Championship again after losing his title match against Chris Jericho, after MJF threw in the towel on his behalf before turning on him. This means that the stakes in this match are probably higher for Cody but can his big-match experience match up to Archer's dangerous combination of size, speed, and strength?

Matt Hardy and The Elite vs The Inner Circle (Stadium Stampede match)

The first Stadium Stampede match at AEW Double or Nothing will be crazy as Matt Hardy and The Elite take on members of The Inner Circle. The Young Bucks and Hangman Page returned to AEW earlier this week on Dynamite, helping Matt Hardy and Kenny Omega even the odds against The Inner Circle at the end of the show.

We will see the 10 men brawl with an entire football stadium to brawl through. The ring will be set up in the middle of the field.

Jon Moxley (C) vs Mr. Brodie Lee (for the AEW World Championship)

Brodie Lee and The Dark Order have been tormenting Jon Moxley in recent weeks and Lee now has Moxley's title belt in his possession. Moxley got some form of revenge on Dynamite as he unloaded on 10 with a steel chair after their match.

Moxley will finally have a chance to get his hands on Brodie Lee as they face off in the main event of AEW Double or Nothing for the World Championship.
