Double or Nothing 2023 Match Card

Top Double or Nothing Matches to Watch

The Elite vs. Blackpool Combat Club

AEW's two biggest stables will settle the score Sunday in an Anarchy in the Arena match, which is, arguably, the most chaotic match type in wrestling.

Omega and The Young Bucks have been back together for several months, and they recently entered into a rivalry with the Blackpool Combat Club due largely to issues between Omega and Jon Moxley.

The BCC had been leaning heel, and it became official when Bryan Danielson returned and targeted The Cleaner.

Don Callis turned his back on Omega and the Bucks, but they picked up a new ally in the form of an old friend when Page aligned with them once again in an effort to take down the BCC.

Omega and Page are former AEW tag champs who went their separate ways and eventually feuded with each other, but they will look to decimate a common enemy on Sunday.

Anarchy in the Arena debuted last year and ended up being one of AEW's most entertaining matches of 2022, and with so much top talent involved in this year's bout has a chance to be even better.

MJF vs. Darby Allin vs. Jungle Boy vs. Sammy Guevara

In just the third defense of his reign as AEW world champion, MJF will put the title on the line against three of the promotion's other biggest "homegrown" stars.

Fairly early in AEW's existence, MJF, Darby Allin "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry and Sammy Guevara were given the moniker of the "Four Pillars" since all of them have gotten their most exposure and achieved their greatest success in AEW.

None of the others have come close to reaching MJF's star power, but Allin, Perry and Guevara will have the biggest opportunities of their careers to prove they belong in the main event conversation.

Although it would be considered a major upset if MJF loses, the apparent obvious result doesn't mean the Four-Way match isn't worth watching.

All four of the participants can go in the ring, and they figure to provide nonstop action and could pull off some moves and moments rarely seen in wrestling matches.

Additionally, MJF has been must-see TV throughout his title reign, and there is every reason to believe he will ensure the Four Pillars match is a success.

Chris Jericho vs. Adam Cole

Adam Cole has not had a PPV match in nearly a year, but that will change on Sunday at Double or Nothing.

He missed several months with a concussion suffered last summer, but he has vowed to be better than ever, and the fans have been so behind him since his return that it necessitated a face turn.

That instantly made Jericho a sensible opponent for his first big match back, as the veteran has been one of the top heels in AEW for nearly his entire tenure with the company.

Jericho and his Jericho Appreciation Society have tried to make life miserable for Cole in recent weeks, and the rivalry has gotten so personal that their meeting at Double or Nothing was made an unsanctioned match, meaning anything goes.

In an effort to add even more unpredictability, ECW legend Sabu made his AEW debut on Wednesday's Dynamite and was named special enforcer.

Cole has long thrived in hardcore environments during his career, dating back to his time in ROH and WWE NXT, so he could have no problem delivering the type of contest fans are hoping to see.

AEW seems to be building Cole up as a top babyface and eventual challenger to MJF, so Sunday's match will be huge in terms of cementing him as a top-level star.
