Stadium Stampede match returning for AEW Double or Nothing
For the first time in five years, the Memorial Day tradition of AEW Double or Nothing will be once again paired with a Stadium Stampede match.
The bout will feature Chris Jericho, part of the inaugural match in 2020, and four partners against Ricochet, the Gates of Agony and two other men.
Made on Wednesday’s Dynamite, Jericho had a verbal confrontation with Ricochet after he wanted another shot at Ricochet given his recent attacks. Ricochet eventually agreed, but only if it was a Stampede match, questioning if Jericho could even find other partners.
A brawl broke out between Jericho, Ricochet and the GOA before all three Hurt Syndicate members (Bobby Lashley, MVP and Shelton Benjamin) ran out for the save, indicating three of Jerich’s partners may be set.
Jericho’s Inner Circle took part in the 2020 Stampede, but were on the losing end of things to The Elite. The Inner Circle did pick up the win in the following year’s match, defeating The Pinnacle, also at Double or Nothing. The last Stampede bout took place at 2023’s All In from Wembley Stadium.
