Predicting The Card For AEW Double Or Nothing 2026

AEW

After a long night in Vancouver for AEW Dynasty. All Elite Wrestling will look ahead to Double Or Nothing 2026, which will take place from the Louis Armstrong Stadium in New York City.

Being one of the company’s flagpole events, this is expected to be a highly anticipated show that will feature some tantalizing matchups that fans are going to be stoked to see come May 24.

Here are our potential predictions for the card for AEW Double Or Nothing 2026.

AEW International Championship: Kazuchika Okada (c) vs. Konosuke Takeshita

At AEW Dynasty 2026, The Young Bucks defeated Kazuchika Okada and Konosuke Takeshita of The Don Callis Family.

Ahead of this match, Don Callis agreed to give Takeshita a shot at Okada’s AEW International Championship at Double Or Nothing 2026 if he teamed with “The Rainmaker” at the PPV.

Now that this bout is in the books, it feels like the right time for Okada and Takeshita to do battle for the second time since their first meeting in the Continental Classic at AEW Worlds End.

Takeshita challenging Okada for the AEW International Championship could potentially be a showstealing encounter on the Double Or Nothing pay-per-view.

AEW World Trios Championships: The Conglomeration (Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong & Orange Cassidy) (c) vs. The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier, Zachary Wentz & Myron Reed)

The AEW World Trios Championships picture has been one of the most unpredictable in the entire company as of late.

At AEW Dynasty 2026, The Conglomeration’s Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong and Orange Cassidy defeated The Dogs to win the Trios Titles.

Now that they have the gold, fans could see a new trio stepping up to challenge for the gold at next month’s major show from New York City.

The Rascalz have been a highlight of AEW TV since signing with the company in January and could be next up to challenge The Conglomeration for the titles at Double Or Nothing 2026.

AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships: Divine Dominion (Megan Bayne & Lena Kross) (c) vs. Kris Statlander & Hikaru Shida

On the AEW Dynasty 2026 Zero Hour, Divine Dominion defeated Hyan and Maya World to retain the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships.

Meanwhile, Hikaru Shida just returned and has reunited with Kris Statlander to form a duo, who picked up a win on the April 11 edition of AEW Collision.

The two former AEW Women’s World Champions could be up next to challenge Divine Dominion for the tag titles at the next pay-per-view.

Divine Dominion defending the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Titles against Shida and Statlander could make for a very competitive matchup at Double Or Nothing in NYC.

AEW TBS Championship: Willow Nightingale (c) vs. Kamille

On the Zero Hour pre-show of AEW Dynasty 2026, Willow Nightingale was set to have her next open challenge for the TBS Championship.

However, Kamille made her return to attack Nightingale backstage and made her medically unable to compete on the show.

After Kamille picked up a win over Big Anne, the former NWA Women’s World Champion then beat down Willow once again.

Despite Nightingale being scheduled to defend the TBS Title against her new rival on the April 15 episode of AEW Dynamite, there could be a rematch with Kamille on May 24 at Double Or Nothing 2026.

AEW TNT Championship: Kevin “The Jet” Knight (c) vs. “Speedball” Mike Bailey

At AEW Dynasty 2026, Kevin “The Jet” Knight won the Casino Gauntlet to become the new TNT Champion.

Knight picked up the win by delivering the UFO Splash on Daniel Garcia, while he had the Dragon Tamer on “Speedball” Mike Bailey during the bout.

After the victory, Bailey looked disappointed by Knight getting the title right over him in the process.

Knight facing Bailey in his first TNT Title defense on pay-per-view could make for a highly anticipated showdown on the AEW Double Or Nothing 2026 card.

AEW Women’s World Championship Street Fight: Thekla (c) vs. Jamie Hayter

At AEW Dynasty 2026, Thekla defeated Jamie Hayter to retain the AEW Women’s World Championship.

“The Toxic Spider” got the win with an O’Connor Roll with her hand on the ropes, which upset Hayter in the aftermath of the bout.

This could set the stage for a third match between these two ladies after splitting their first two encounters.

Thekla defending against Hayter in a Street Fight will allow for these two to beat the hell out of each other in an intense encounter at the AEW Double Or Nothing 2026 event.

AEW World Tag Team Championships: FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) (c) vs. Young Bucks vs. Adam Copeland & Christian Cage

Over the past two months, FTR have defeated two of the greatest tag teams in the history of wrestling to cement their place as the best duo in wrestling today.

At AEW Revolution 2026, FTR defeated The Young Bucks to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championships. Then, Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler retained the gold over Adam Copeland and Christian Cage at Dynasty 2026 as well.

With the animosity between these three teams, it feels like it could all come to a head in a three-way battle.

FTR defending the AEW World Tag Team Titles against both Cope and Cage as well as The Young Bucks have all the makings of one of the biggest tag team matches in the company’s history.

The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, PAC, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia & Marina Shafir) vs. United Empire (Will Ospreay, Callum Newman, HENARE, Francesco Akira & Great O-Khan) & Alex Windsor in the Stadium Stampede Match

On the April 8 episode of AEW Dynamite, Will Ospreay called upon the help of his NJPW stable United Empire to counteract the numbers advantage of Jon Moxley and The Death Riders.

This led to Ospreay leading the way for United Empire to defeat The Death Riders in a Chaos In Canada 8-Man Tag Team Match.

However, it was Moxley, who got the last laugh when he defeated Ospreay to retain the AEW Continental Championship at Dynasty 2026.

With tensions boiling to an all-time high between Mox and Ospreay, this could lead to United Empire battling The Death Riders in a Stadium Stampede Match come AEW Double Or Nothing 2026.

AEW World Championship: Darby Allin (c) vs. MJF vs. Kenny Omega vs. Swerve Strickland

The AEW World Title picture has gotten quite interesting throughout 2026 so far, especially coming off the heels of MJF defeating Kenny Omega for the gold in the main event of Dynasty 2026.

Now, Maxwell Jacob Friedman is set to defend the top prize in All Elite Wrestling against Darby Allin on the April 15 Spring Break Thru edition of AEW Dynamite.

With this show taking place in his second hometown of Seattle, Washington, Allin could be the one to finally dethrone MJF for the AEW World Championship.

Considering all the challengers involved in the main event scene right now, AEW Double Or Nothing 2026 could be headlined by a four-way with Darby, MJF, Omega and Swerve Strickland in New York City on May 24.
