AEW Double Or Nothing 2021 continues! MJF comes out of the limo by himself strangely. Cuts a promo talking about the worst IS yet to come, for Chris Jericho.

They attack from behind and take over as the Stadium Stampede gets underway! Spears throws Sammy into the ring as the bell rings. Guevara with the double leg, battering him. Shawn throws him to the apron, Sammy with an enziguri! Springboard Cutter! Running boot to Wardlow. Goes up top for a Shooting Star Press but Wardlow rolls out of the way, big lariat flips him!
MJF meanwhile finally gets out of the limo. But Jericho is waiting just behind him! They go after each other. Kenny takes MJF to the trunk of the car, he hits him and blasts him with a fire extinguisher! Max then runs for his life and Jericho chases him. They fight to a lounge and Max gets thrown into a trash can. He retaliates by throwing hot coffee into Chris’ eyes! Bashes him with a phone then yells into it about how Chris can’t come to the phone because he’s too busy eating his teeth. Jericho with a body shot, whip to a table, Max slides underneath it but gets crushed against the wall by it!

Wardlow hits him with a rolling equipment rack and repeatedly slams him into it, forearm drops him! Hard shots to Hager. Hager wants more so Wardlow tackles him right through a wall and into the kitchen! Sammy Guevara meanwhile is off looking for Shawn Spears. Spears is sitting on a chair and bashing a chair on the floor, re-enacting his original AEW entrance! This is a room with 1,000 chairs I adore it.

Back into the backstage area, Shawn tries to slam him into a wall, Sammy incredibly kickflips off the wall and Spin Kicks him in the face! They fight to the forklift and Sammy leaps off it with a Rider Kick!
Spears hoists him up though, Lawndart into the garage door!
Shawn has a moment where he surveys a few very violent weapons and hilariously settles on a chair because he has a fetish for them. Goes to swing it but Sammy nails him with a flying high knee! They fight into a very cluttered supply room of some sort. Sammy chokes him with some cables! Goes to the top rack for a flying move but Shawn gets out of the way before he leaps. So Sammy parkours down only to get nailed with a ladder! Spears handcuffs Guevara to the rack and makes off. But Guevara eyes a pair of bolt cutters…
Meanwhile Santana & Ortiz follow FTR into a nightclub? The stadium has that, I guess. They both beat the crap out of everyone else who dares be there. They share a drink. The DJ is revealed to be Konnan just before FTR and PNP go at out! They are brawling on the floor. Ortiz tosses a tray at Dax for a 2 count. Tully tries to nail Ortiz with a drumstick, but Konnan grabs it! Ortiz nails him in the gut to drop him, stabs him in the head with the stick! Dax and Cash run in to assault them but PNP win out quick, they are whipping each other with belts. Dax with the fists up. Trading shots with Ortiz, Santana leaps off the table for a clothesline to Cash, cover for 2! Ortiz sends Dax into the trash cans!
Can shots pelting Dax. Cash is tossing beer bottles at Ortiz, yeow! Santana attacks Cash and they go into the elevator! Santana keeps stomping him as they go up! Inner Circle in the lead over the Pinnacle in that one.

Winners: The Inner Circle
Feels like the two tag teams didn’t do a whole lot but very fun stuff all the same and it ended up being a very cool win for Sammy Guevara in particular. Nice to know the Inner Circle is sticking around, they have plenty they can do as babyfaces.
