MJF defeats Darby Allin
New York Post • • entertainment
Key Points:
- AEW's Double or Nothing pay-per-view made a successful NYC debut with a sold-out crowd of 15,015 at Louis Armstrong Stadium, showcasing the promotion's unique appeal despite restrictions on blood due to New York State rules.
- The event highlighted AEW as a focused alternative to WWE, building momentum heading into a major summer season.
- Darby Allin's intense AEW World Championship reign ended in a rematch loss to MJF, who retained his hair, with the finish emphasizing Allin's own mistakes rather than MJF's dominance.
- The outcome, while not what fans hoped for, served the broader narrative needs of AEW's storytelling and character development.
