All Elite Wrestling does not produce as many PPVs as other promotions, giving them more importance and saving the biggest matches for the big day. Double Or Nothing is considered to be AEW's most important PPV, there have been four editions already, and all of them have been amazing.
There are always fantastic moments and memorable matches on this PPV, even this year, which was probably the weakest Double Or Nothing PPV, there were a couple of matches that made this list. Without further ado, let's take a look at the 10 best matches in AEW Double Or Nothing history.
10 The House Of Black Vs. Death Triangle (2022)
Malakai Black, Brody King, and Buddy Matthews faced off against Penta Oscuro, Rey Fenix, and PAC. The match was fantastic, with non-stop action from start to finish. There were unique sequences and incredible spots, and every man involved played his part to perfection. However, there were a couple of botches that hurt the match, and it perhaps lasted a couple of minutes longer than it should have. The match ended in victory for The House Of Black thanks to the appearance of Julia Hart.
9 Hikaru Shida Vs. Nyla Rose (2020)
At Double Or Nothing 2020, Hikaru Shida and Nyla Rose collided in a No Disqualification match for the AEW Women's World Title. It was a hard-hitting match, with several cool weapon spots and a good story. The finish came when Hikaru Shida hit Nyla Rose in the head with the Kendo stick, then delivered a running knee to make the cover and become the new champion.
8 Adam Page Vs. CM Punk (2022)
This match had its ups and downs, but overall, it was a great main event. Obviously, it's impossible to ignore the botches, like CM Punk failing to perform the Buckshot Lariat not once but twice, and also performing a sharpshooter that left a lot to be desired. In addition, the pace of the match was slow at times, making it evident that Punk can't keep up with Hangman.
On the other hand, the story was excellent, the selling was top-notch, and the character work was amazing as well. Adam Page honorably decided not to use the belt, but this gave Punk a chance to win a world title after nine years.
7 The Young Bucks Vs. Eddie Kingston & Jon Moxley (2021)
We know that in Young Bucks matches the tag team rules are pretty much non-existent, as they double-team all the time, and sometimes we don't know who is the legal man, and that was the case in this match.
However, no one can deny that it was a spectacular match, with the typical breathtaking spots from Nick and Matt, while Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston brought the intensity and hard-hitting action. The Young Bucks emerged victorious from this epic bout.
6 Thunder Rosa Vs. Serena Deeb (2022)
This was arguably the cleanest match of Double Or Nothing 2022, Thunder Rosa and Serena Deeb put on a wrestling clinic, showing that they both are among the best female wrestlers in the world right now. Unfortunately, the crowd was dead, and the atmosphere was ordinary, but the match itself was excellent.
Top-notch maneuvers, good in-ring psychology, and a nice story. Thunder Rosa endured the pain like a true champion, and when she had the opportunity, she didn't waste it. Rosa performed a Superplex followed by her Fire Thunder Driver to win the match and retain the Women's World Title.
5 Stadium Stampede Match (2020)
Taking advantage of the pandemic era, the main event of Double Or Nothing 2020 was a Stadium Stampede Match between The Elite and The Inner Circle. It was a chaotic match, with wild brawling and destruction throughout the building. There were several incredible spots, but there were also several comedy moments that worked quite well. It was a very creative and original match, and overall, it was a lot of fun to watch. This was sports entertainment at its finest. After a long battle, The Elite prevailed.
4 Anarchy In The Arena Ten Man Tag Team Match (2022)
This match was quite similar to the Stadium Stampede match, it was brutal, bloody, chaotic and a lot of fun to watch, but this one was perhaps a little better because there were fans, and the fans couldn't believe what they were seeing. The Jericho Appreciation Society, Eddie Kingston, Santana, Ortiz, Bryan Danielson, and Jon Moxley battled in spectacular fashion, something fans will not forget. The only man who didn't bleed was Chris Jericho, but that doesn't mean he wasn't brutally punished.
3 Kenny Omega Vs. Orange Cassidy Vs. PAC (2021)
On this occasion, Kenny Omega defended the AEW World Title in a Triple Threat match against Orange Cassidy and PAC. It was a superb match, with awesome in-ring action, fantastic sequences, and brutal spots. Certainly, the match had its flaws, as maybe it was too long, and it was overbooked at times, but overall, it was a fantastic bout. The crowd was hot and behind Cassidy, who had a tremendous performance and almost won the match, but in the end, Omega won after a crucifix pin on Cassidy.
2 The Young Bucks Vs. The Lucha Brothers (2019)
The Young Bucks and The Lucha Brothers have too much chemistry, and they proved it at Double Or Nothing 2019. This was a fast-paced match, with mind-blowing spots and perfect sequences. The match was fluid from start to finish and all the men involved did a phenomenal job.
In the end, The Young Bucks won the match to retain the AAA World Tag Team Titles. It's no wonder this match was memorable, as we are talking about two of the best tag teams of all time.
1 Cody Rhodes Vs. Dustin Rhodes (2019)
The best match in AEW Double Or Nothing history has to be this one between Cody and Dustin Rhodes. Same family, different generations, spectacular clash. It was a very emotional and dramatic match, a beautiful story perfectly told by both men. It was simply a masterpiece, the best match of both men's careers. The final stretch was fantastic, with Cody hitting a low blow on Dustin, with a couple of shocking near-falls, and Cody finally getting the win after a Cross Rhodes.
