Title vs. hair match official for AEW Double or Nothing
A title vs. hair match is now official for next weekend’s AEW Double or Nothing as Darby Allin will put up his World title against MJF’s much-discussed head of hair.
The match was confirmed after Allin defended the title against Konosuke Takeshita in the main event of Dynamite after which MJF came out to sign the contract to make it official.
After MJF reluctantly signed, he then ran down Allin’s accomplishments and Allin responded in kind. MJF then took him down and knocked him out with his Dynamite diamond ring. He then got back in the ring and nearly hit Allin with a second rope tombstone before Kevin Knight ran in for the save.
It comes a week after Allin said the only way he would give MJF another shot was if he put something up that meant the most to him: his hair. At the onset of Dynamite, it was said Allin wouldn’t defend against MJF ever again if he didn’t agree to the stipulation for Double or Nothing.
It will be a rematch from last month when Allin shocked MJF to win the title in his hometown of Everett, Washington, in a short match. MJF has been trying to get his rematch ever since while Allin has five title defenses already. MJF will be looking for his third title run.
