The latest AEW pay-per-view featured the Stadium Stampede match, the finals of the TNT Championship Tournament with an appearance from Iron Mike Tyson, and more. Make sure you’re here tomorrow for the complete Ins and Outs of AEW Double Or Nothing column.
AEW Double Or Nothing Results:
1. Number One Contender Buy-In Match: Best Friends defeated Private Party. The Best Friends pinned Marq Quen with Strong Zero to win the match and become number one contenders to the AEW Tag Team Championship.
2. Brian Cage won the Casino Ladder Match. Cage made his debut in this match, pressing Darby Allin (and a ladder) out of the ring (into another ladder) and climbing a third ladder to pull down an oversized plastic poker chip to win. Cage is now the number one contender to the AEW World Championship. You can watch highlights from that here.
3. MJF defeated Jungle Boy. MJF won a competitive match with a modified European clutch.
4. TNT Championship Tournament Final: Cody defeated Lance Archer. Mike Tyson was in attendance to present the TNT Championship to the winner, and sat at ringside through the match. Arn Anderson was ejected for cheating behind the referee’s back, which also got Jake Roberts tossed. Jake returned with a snake, but Mike Tyson stepped in, threatened him away, and took off his own shirt. You can watch that here. Cody countered the Blackout with Cross Rhodes to win the match and become the first TNT Champion. Note: the belt isn’t finished yet.
5. Kris Statlander defeated Penelope Ford with the Big Bang Theory. Ford was a replacement for the injured Dr. Britt Baker.
6. Dustin Rhodes defeated Shawn Spears with the Final Reckoning.

8. AEW World Championship Match: Jon Moxley (c) defeated The Exalted One Mr. Brodie Lee. Moxley hit the Paradigm Shift, as well as a Paradigm Shift through the stage, but wasn’t able to pin him. Instead, Mox made Lee pass out in a rear naked choke.

What’s old in pro wrestling is officially new again: Not only is WWE reviving their In Your House pay-per-view concept for an upcoming NXT Takeover event, but NXT’s main Wednesday night competitor All Elite Wrestling got none other than “Iron” Mike Tyson back in the squared circle for the first time in a decade, as he made an explosive appearance at AEW Double Or Nothing to deliver the TNT Championship to its first owner.

A buff, bearded Tyson carried the title (which, according to commentator Jim Ross, is apparently unfinished and will feature gold plating upon its completion) to the ring then sat ringside as Cody Rhodes and Lance Archer battled it out for the right to be crowned the first-ever TNT Champion.

As the match unfolded, Jake Roberts tried to interfere with the match by bringing a python to the ring, but Tyson sprang into action, pulled off his shirt and scared him off. This gave Rhodes the opening to connect with back-to-back Cross Rhodes on Archer for the victory. Tyson then happily presented the TNT Championship to the Son Of A Son Of A Plumber.
Tyson is no stranger to the squared circle: The man once called Kid Dynamite played a huge factor in the main event of WrestleMania 14 in 1998, punching out Shawn Michaels to help Steve Austin win his first world championship. He later reconciled with Michaels, returning to WWE in 2010 and punching out Chris Jericho to help D-Generation X win a tag team match.
