aew double or Nothing 2025: The biggest winners and losers

There was no aew double or nothing and obine. The night was packed with title matches, tournament finals, literally chaos. A lot of people came out of it and looked good, some of them didn’t look that good.

Now we’ve already covered “What happened” and you can find it on the results page. There is a detailed account of Mercedes Mohn and Hangman pages winning women and boys Owen Hart Cup and Toni Storm’s Mina Shirakawa. There is also a list of things Wrestling staff loved and hated. Now it’s time to break down glory and evil, nobility, ignorance. Simply put, it’s time to break down winners and losers from the Big Show.

In some cases, the winner may have actually been the winner, and in other cases some losers looked better in defeat than their opponents. This is the case in the show business world of professional wrestling.

It is not that anyone who has become very lost on a dark night of souls like the pages of Hangman. The past year or so has been a brutal time for Cowboy S *** fans, as Hangman Page swirls around rage and villains. Half of Swerve’s ascension from last year came at the expense of the Hangman. It looked like the page was beginning to fade out. This is a relic of the era of Cody Rhodes and BTE. Then came the Owen Heart Cup.

Page made clear through the tournament, and especially through the build, what it takes to win the Cup, to the final match against Will Ospreay. He “needs” redemption that can abdicate John Moxley. Page and Ospreay have not come as a surprise to anyone who has seen the production of two men over the past few years, but the fact that Hangman shocked Ospreay to most people was not surprising. The company appears to have revolved around Will Ospreay since he signed it. Hangman overcoming a new child on the block was not a small feat. Currently, Derby Allin is somewhere in the slow descent from Mount Everest, and Page is the only person with the “Aew Loyalty” similarity left to defeat Casey John Moxley.

I know if Page actually succeeds where people like Swerve or Samoa Joe have failed, but as a cowboy, he might be on the right side of the pinfall as he heads for a big Texas event.

I said this before, what should I do about Daniel Garcia?

Garcia, like Ricky Starks, is touted as the “next big thing” of age, and after a run of many factions and mid-way AEW TNT titles, he feels stuck and spinning the wheels. Garcia is like a talented child who was praised, supported and pressured, assuming pressure would turn him into a diamond, crushing him into dust instead.

When the double or no ten tags between Garcia, Nigel McGuinness, and FTR were booked, I thought McGuinness and Garcia were on the collision course. They may still be, but it seems to be about FTR winning two sentimental favorites rather than moving Garcia forward in a truly conceivable way. I don’t doubt that McGuinness and Garcia will have a nice little feud somewhere on the road, but I’m worried that after a double or nothing, there will be no room for Garcia to stand up in the aftermath. He may be seeing a long way that could be encompassed by the continental classics.

What should be said? Can I ask something that has not yet been asked in the winners or losers of last month’s dynasty? I’m not interrupted to be disappointed with Daniel Garcia, but it feels like the biggest disappointment of all.

It feels like AEW is trying to clarify all of Mercedes Mohn’s tenure. She is the biggest star of the company’s women’s division on the country mile, and thanks to her victory over Jamie Heighter, Mercedes Mohn is no longer one of the biggest names in women’s wrestling.

Fortunately, at that time, AEW was able to inject a “timeless” Toni storm into enough stars to obfuscate the dazzling gap. The TBS Championship and the AEW Women’s World Championship swapped their heights back and forth, fitting the arena at the level of their performance possible. It was a kind of dance between the two titles.

Mone, who won on Sunday, has moved to center stage. It was an inevitable moment, but certainly welcome. AEW can probably make some waves if they can all enter double champions like Mone, Pun’s intentions. She was like a coiled spring, ready to explode, and although the Storm’s run was legendary, all legends must end.

Mercedes Mohn’s inevitable coral coronation also hinders the split. Because bouncing between the two titles, many women, like Willow Nightingale, Law Women’s Champion Athena and others, fell into the adventures of true Stardom, often sacrificed for the momentum of the Morn and storm.

I love the stupid looting match as good as the next guy, but I’m a bit tired of the disorder in the arena. One of the AEW signature matches grew a bit more and more. Just like the hell of the cell, there was a time when companies could build an entire show around the game, but now it’s just a show car accident, a bubble rap that eats time and pops.

There’s nothing wrong with bubble wrap. Once you’ve popped, there’s nothing to do. Like the anarchy of the arena match that preceded it, Sunday’s entry was a lot of bubble wraps and not a lot of substance.

It’s not that I’m not enjoying the mayhem. It’s not that I didn’t like seeing hooks come back. To begin with, everyone is just having a hard time seeing what they’ve gained from these matches already. It rarely feels like a match carries a long-term stake. The most consequential AITA match could be that of Bryan Danielson on the injured list during his “final run” at AEW.

There are certain times when games like this start to lighten your nerves, especially for the troublesome stuff like the Marathon AEW PPV. These matches are so violent, they’re getting hurt, and they’re causing too many injuries to make so many throws. It may be time for the anarchy to give rest.
