Love was definitely in the air at AEW’s Double or Nothing event.
Tonight, AEW revealed its upcoming pay-per-view set to take place at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona. The card featured a mix of wild matches, including a unique comeback appearance at the venue.
One of the highlights was Mina Shirakawa’s first-ever AEW PPV match after joining the roster full-time. Throughout the match, Shirakawa kept constant pressure on Toni Storm, nearly securing victory by trapping the reigning champion in a Figure 4 leg lock near the end. However, Toni managed to break free by reaching the rope. The two exchanged intense back-and-forth action before the champions sealed the win with Storm Zero.
The most memorable moment came post-match when Toni Storm and Shirakawa set aside their differences, sharing a kiss as a nod to their past. Shirakawa even kissed Storm’s injured leg before departing.
The night wasn’t solely about the women’s match, as the TBS Champion Mercedes Moné took on Jamie Hayter in the event’s opening bout. Moné triumphed in the Women’s Owen Hart Tournament final against Hayter. This win grants Moné the right to challenge Storm for the Women’s World Title, potentially leading to a unification of the two championships.
Fan Take: This event highlights AEW’s commitment to elevating women’s wrestling by spotlighting top talent like Shirakawa and Moné. For fans, it signals exciting storylines ahead, especially with a potential title unification that could reshape the women’s division and boost the sport’s competitiveness.
