AEW Double Or Nothing 2022 Live Results

Darby Allin wants revenge for Kyle O’Reilly injuring Sting a few weeks ago. I thought this one might be a quick one. Early on, Kyle O’Reilly is using his technical skill to just systematically take apart Darby Allin.

Darby Allin is busted open early. A stray blow to the face has busted open his mouth. He may be missing some teeth on that one. Several minutes of Kyle O’Reilly really working Darby over. Darby hits a Scorpion Death Drop.

O’Reilly keeps fighting though. He goes for a Kimura Lock. Darby breaks it up with his knees. O’Reilly goes outside. Darby does a dive, but it looks like he stumbled and hit head first. I think they may have miscommunicated a spot. Because a few minutes later, Darby goes for another dive and this time O’Reilly catches him into a front choke hold. I think that was supposed to be what happened earlier but O’Reilly wasn’t there in time. Or, Darby just screwed the pooch. Either way, it was nasty.

Back in the ring, both men are displaying technical skills. Kyle O’Reilly locks in an ankle lock. Darby counters into what was supposed to be a Scorpion Leg Lock, but he didn’t get it.

Darby hits a Coffin Drop on O’Reilly who is dangling in the ropes. Darby backflips and lands neck first on the apron after making contact on Kyle. Back in the ring, Darby goes for the Coffin Drop, but O’Reilly counters into the rear naked choke. He transitions into an arm breaker. Darby gets out. They do the strike exchange. O’Reilly uses the chain Darby wears around his neck. He puts it in his mouth and then drapes him over his back.

O’Reilly hits 3 PKs and then hits a diving knee drop. O’Reilly wins? I can’t believe that. I would have bet big money on the fact that Darby wins. Instead, O’Reilly gets the impressive victory.

Heel vs. Heel is always an odd dynamic. Tay Conti is dressed as Maleficient or however, you spell it. They make out on the ramp. This feud has been going on forever. You have to think this was going to be Cody, Brandi, and Dustin at one point.

Kaz and Sky start us off. Sammy tags himself in, but Ethan Page wants in. Page destroys Sammy Guevara. That was awesome. Page looked terrific. He tags in Scorpio Sky, but Sky runs away and tags in Kaz.

Kaz gains control and tags back in Sammy. Sammy wants to showboat which pisses off Kaz. Kaz yells at him which gets Conti pissed off. Sky gets back in control after Sammy continues to show off. Sammy pulls in the ref allowing Conti to scratch the back of Sky. Sammy hits a beautiful stunner from the top rope.

Sammy gives Vanzant the double bird which brings her in the ring. While the ref has his back turned, Conti and Sammy hit a double back drop. The guys are not letting the women in.

After some miscommunication between Sammy and Kaz, Sky is able to tag in Vanzant. She’s in. She runs wild. Well, she takes out Conti in a slow motion hot tag. She looks good, but she’s moving very, very slow. She hits a few suplexes. The shenanigans begin.

Paige hits a drop toe hold and Conti goes head first into his family jewels. Vanzant is distracted for some reason by Sammy who was paying her no attention. Conti hits a bunch of pump kicks and impresses Sammy. They decide to have a make-out session in the ring. ATT gets in the ring and stares them down. Kaz says screw it and lets them take out Sky and Conti.

Eventually, Sammy kicks Conti in the face by accident. Page and Sky take him out. Kaz is back in. He gets hit with the TKO and Sky makes the pin.

American Top Team gets the big win. Kaz and Sammy can never challenge Sammy again. Thank you!!!

Martha Hart is here to present the trophies to Adam Cole and Britt Baker. She’s very dressed up and is wearing quite the hat. She delivers a speech that is a bit over the top, but hey, it’s wrestling. She’s very excited to be honoring her late husband.

The fans are very supportive. She says the Owen Cup is theirs to enjoy until next year. She says next year she wants everyone to wear a hat like hers.

She unveils the championship belt. It’s not a title to defend. It’s a trophy for them to keep. Those belts are sweet. Ole Martha doesn’t quite know how to hold a belt up. Martha is having the time of her life.

Owen was known as quite the prank puller. If she wanted to honor her husband, it would be pretty funny if she pulled out a protective cup for Adam Cole as the Owen Cup.

Dr. Britt Baker is out first with the guitarist from Fozzy. If outfits are indicators, then Britt Baker is winning. She’s also decked out in the Hart Foundation pink and black. The Fozzy guitarist hopped around and seemed out of place.

Now, here is Rancid. They are singing Ruby Soho. I know how they got their name. Their singing live is rancid. Ouch. Thank God for sound effects and mixing boards.

Early on, the two battle to gain an advantage. Baker eventually gains control. She works her over with some basic but effective wrestling. Soho counters in the corner. Baker heads to the outside, but Soho hits a huge running dropkick from the apron. Ruby looks like she’s going to have the advantage as they get back in the ring.

Not the case. Baker drops her off the top rope and she lands abs first on the turnbuckle. Baker then works her over with some stomps.

Eventually, we get the Boo-Yay forearm exchange in the middle of the ring. Both ladies are down. When they get up, Baker goes for the Curb Stomp, but Soho counters. She climbs to the top rope and goes for a senton. She hits it. That look like it hurt.

This match has been really good. Baker and Soho are putting on a classic compared to the previous women’s match. Who would have thought Britt Baker would be one of the best technical wrestlers on the roster 3 years ago. She keeps it simple and it pays off.

Baker finally hits The Curb Stomp. She goes for Lock Jaw. She can’t get it. Ruby fights her off. Ruby hits No Future. She then locks in the Sharp Shooter as a tribute to Owen Hart. Baker tries to get to the ropes. Ruby is having a hard time holding onto it. Baker finally makes it to the ropes.

The crowd has been cheering for Soho tonight and Baker. It just goes to show you that the reaction the other night was more a sign of respect for Kris Statlander instead of a bad reaction for Soho.

Oh. Soho rolls her up. 1…2…NO!! Baker counters. She rolls up Soho and gets the win. I thought for sure there are the end Soho was getting it. She did not.

Baker wins the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. Boyfriend and girlfriend are the winners. They are both dressed for the occasion in pink and black. When she walks up the ramp, Tony Schiavone gives her a hug. Adam Cole is behind him and is not impressed. Tony turns around and pretends to hug him. LOL.

Will the LockJaw get it done for Dr. @realbrittbaker DMD tonight?! Order #AEWDoN NOW on @BleacherReport & Internationally on @FiteTV / https://t.co/30z8K48kUT pic.twitter.com/8jXifzi7Hc

Samoa Joe and Adam Cole are wrestling in the Owen Finals. This should be a good one. The size difference is incredible. It’s funny. WWE wouldn’t push Adam Cole because he was too little. When you look at him, his wrestling style allows for him to be believable against bigger guys like Joe. However, you have to give him credit because he’s not a high flyer. He does it with a ground-based style and lots of strikes.

In this one, this match is a game of cat and mouse. Each man goes back and forth trying to gain an advantage on the other. Just when one thinks he has it, the other counters. Samoa Joe is selling his shoulder throughout. It’s the shoulder that Lethal and company attacked. Cole had worked it over earlier.

At one point, Cole goes for The Boom and Joe counters with a clothesline. Cole backflips and lands awkwardly on his head and neck. Cole is a great seller, but he didn’t have to act too much on that one, I’m guessing.

Both men lock in submission moves. They each battle to get to the ropes. After Cole gets out. Fish comes down to the ring. He pulls the injured shoulder over the ropes. Cole goes for The Boom. He misses. Coquina Clutch. Fish distracts Joe. Cole catches him with some Superkicks. He hits the Boom. Adam Cole wins.

Adam Cole clad in Hart Foundation pink wins the Men’s Owen Hart Tournament. Cole winning gets his heat back after losing to Adam Page. That was some smart booking. He continues to cheat, but it doesn’t matter. He’s so good.

It wouldn’t be an AEW pay-per-view without a BR problem. My stream cut out for the first few minutes of this one. Whenever it finally cut on, Penta and Matthews were having a staredown in the ring.

Brody King looks like he’s about to dive on someone when all 6 men get in the ring and start brawling. Pac hits a Poisonrana of beauty.

This match features 6 men who can really wrestle, but so far, this story has been less than stellar. Like much of AEW’s stories of late, it hasn’t had the time needed to really shine. Case in point, there are 13 matches tonight. You just can’t focus on telling that many stories on 3 hours of television each week. I’d rather have 8 matches with intriguing stories than 13 with only 5 good builds.

That said, I don’t need a story to enjoy the hell out of a Lucha Brothers match. They hit massive dives to the outside. Back inside, Death Triangle hits a terrific triple-team move and all 3 men try to cover King. He kicks out.

We then get the obligatory each man takes a turn of diving to the outside. Brody King was the last to go. He went for a huge flipping dive to the outside. He bit off a bit more than he could chew on that one. He made it over the top rope, but he landed neck first on the apron and his feet hit PAC. House of Black hits Dante’s Inferno on Fenix, but PAC and Penta break up the pin.

We get a boatload of superkicks from Death Triangle. PAC eventually hits a brain buster on Black. I thought that was it, but Matthews breaks it up. After that, Penta hits a Canadian Destroyer on the apron after jumping off Fenix. Death Triangle takes out each member of House of Black.

Black is the only member left in the ring. He takes out the Lucha Bros with Black Masses. PAC goes for the Black Arrow. He goes for PAC, but Pac ducks. PAC hits a 450 splash, but Matthews is in the ring. PAC gets rid of him.

Alex Abrahantes is on the apron. This allows PAC to kick Black in the nuts. PAC climbs to the top rope. He’s going for the Black Arrow. The lights go out. It’s Julia Hart. She spits in his face and he falls off. He catches a Black Mass and House of Black wins with their new member Julia Hart.

House of Black wins. Hart can’t stop smiling as she walks up the ramp. Her face is painted. She’s dressed in all black. But, she looks too sweet when she smiles instead of menacing. But hey, maybe she’ll figure it out.

As for the match, it was overbooked. But there were a lot of nice spots.
