Team Jericho wins Stadium Stampede at AEW Double or Nothing, list of notable spots & restrictions
In a wild Stadium Stampede match, Team Jericho took home the win at Sunday’s AEW Double or Nothing.
Put in the co-main event spot, the end of the match came when Team Ricochet’s Bishop Kaun shoved Ricochet out of the way before Chris Jericho could finish him off to end a sequence of Team Jericho finishers. Kaun then got hit with a seven-way superkick and a lionsault for the pin and win.
The rest of Team Ricochet were taken out prior to that: Bobby Lashley took out Mark Davis through a table with a spear preceded by him back suplexing Toa Liona through a table, The Dogs taken out by the Young Bucks with stereo top turnbuckle elbow drops through tables and Kenny Omega hitting the One Winged Angel to Andrade through a table on the outside of the ring.
After the win, Jericho jumped through a table in a tribute to Sabu.
Of note from our Bryan Alvarez, the New York State Athletic Commission wouldn’t allow blood or brawling through the crowd.
The match featured Jericho, Omega, Matt and Nick Jackson, Jack Perry, Lashley and Shelton Benjamin against Ricochet, Liona, Kaun, Clark Connors, David Finlay, Davis and Andrade.
Both teams had cinematic intros with Team Jericho all dressed up wearing suits with Metallica’s Devil’s Dance as an overlay while Team Ricochet entered in various vehicles with The Demand sporting baseball uniforms in a nod to the Baseball Furies in the cult classic movie The Warriors.
Among the notable spots:
- A seven-man linked abdominal stretch from Liona on Omega until MVP broke it up with his cane.
- The Bucks and Omega hitting stereo topes followed by Benjamin doing a flip dive over the top rope followed by a Jericho dive off the top turnbuckle to the outside
- Omega, the Bucks, Perry and Jericho hitting consecutive corner hurricanranas
- Liona hitting a Samoan drop with the Bucks and Perry on top of him
- Perry hitting Davis with a full vacuum cleaner tank
- During a brawl backstage with Liona and Lashley, Lio Rush appeared and helped aid Lashley in a callback to their WWE days
- Connors was superkicked up an escalator by the Bucks
- Andrade was taking a ringside selfie when a blonde wig wearing Luchasaurus appeared, eventually spitting mist into his eyes.
- Ricochet getting suplexed onto tennis balls in the ring by a full-suited Jericho.
- A brawl in catering which saw an enhancement wrestler get hit by Davis who then caught a chair in the eye. Andrade then got shoved into Satnum Singh from behind, getting cake in his face. Singh got up and called for a food fight.
- Matt Jackson wheeling Connors down to the ring in a grocery cart while wearing a trash can into a Nick Jackson superkick
- Luther appeared backstage to give Jericho a giant tennis racket to use against Ricochet followed by Jericho using a ball machine to fire tennis balls at Jericho.
