AEW Double or Nothing: Everything you need to know

Prepare for AEW Double or Nothing 2022 with the full card, previews and predictions for every match.

Get ready to hear your favorite (or least favorite) gambling analogies or puns plenty of times on Sunday, because AEW Double or Nothing is back in Las Vegas. After a two-year detour to Jacksonville due to the COVID-19 pandemic, AEW’s Memorial Day weekend pay-per-view returns to its spiritual home, this time at the T-Mobile Arena — which also hosts Dynamite and Rampage this week.

Heading up the card is an AEW World Championship match between titleholder Hangman Adam Page and challenger CM Punk. But there are plenty of other championships at stake, as Thunder Rosa, Jade Cargill, and Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus will all put their titles on the line as well. There are even rumors that more titles will make their debuts, because the winners of the Owen Hart Foundation tournaments will also be crowned, and could receive some gold of their own.

We’ll update this article with those two finals once they’re decided as well as the Wardlow vs. MJF match that is all but assured to be finalized. Until then, read on for everything you need to know to prepare yourself for AEW Double or Nothing.

If you run into Thunder Rosa at Walmart, she may have her AEW Women’s World Championship with her

AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa joined the Under the Ring podcast to discuss what it means to be champion, how she defines herself and much more.

If you run into AEW World Women’s Champion Thunder Rosa when you’re out shopping, don’t be surprised if she has a very noticeable piece of gold with her.

Rosa said she was still getting used to having the title with her “at Walmart and at the court house” when she appeared as this week’s guest on the Under the Ring podcast with Phil Strum. The 35-year-old Rosa, who became champion when she defeated Britt Baker in a Steel Cage Match on the March 16 episode of AEW Dynamite, told Strum that she’s still wrapping her head around what it really means to be champion and how she can make her reign meaningful.

“It’s very, very special,” Rosa said. “It’s such a wonderful tool that I can utilize, not only to elevate myself as a wrestler, as a woman, as an entrepreneur, but also to elevate other women that want to be at the same level as I am right now.”

Other topics Rosa discusses on this episode include:

  • Her journey to define herself as a wrestler, which took her back and forth from Japan to the U.S.
  • What attracted her to pro wrestling to start training at the relatively late age of 28 — and which one of her current AEW colleagues inspired her to take the leap
  • The influences and thought that go into her ring gear
  • What drove her to start her own women’s wrestling promotion, Mission Pro Wrestling

You can check out the entire episode with Thunder Rosa below.

Under the Ring drops new episodes every Monday, with Strum interviewing different guests from the entire spectrum of pro wrestling each week. Other recent guests have included veteran wrestler Tony Devito, AEW star and one half of The Acclaimed, Anthony Bowens, and Impact Wrestling’s Matt Taven.
