AEW Double or Nothing was certainly a fun night with thousands of excited AEW fans in attendance for the first time in over a year. This was always going to be the case when fans returned to arenas en masse after the pandemic.
So what were the fans given for their support during these difficult times? At AEW Double or Nothing, it seemed their reward was watching a lot of heels win on Sunday night in Jacksonville. It was a good night for evil.
The Young Bucks were likely the most surprising to win their match. They even beat Jon Moxley in a relatively clean manner at AEW Double or Nothing. Miro dominated Lance Archer to retain the TNT Championship.
