AEW Stadium Stampede match
The first ever Stadium Stampede match took place at AEW Double or Nothing on May 23, 2020.
The main event of the AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view event, the Stadium Stampede match saw Matt Hardy and The Elite ("Hangman" Adam Page, Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks) go up against The Inner Circle (Chris Jericho, Jake Hager, Sammy Guevara, Santana and Ortiz).
The match lasted 34 minutes and was shot inside of TIAA Bank Field, the home of the Jacksonville Jaguars, the NFL team owned by The Khan Family, who also own All Elite Wrestling.
The Stadium Stampede featured several iconic moments. Moments from the Stadium Stampede match also included Sammy Guevara being chased down by "Hangman" Adam Page on a horse, multiple versions of Matt Hardy being seen during a spot with Santana and Ortiz in a swimming pool and Chris Jericho challenging a call by AEW official Aubrey Edwards.
The match would eventually be won by The Elite and Matt Hardy when Kenny Omega hit the One-Winged Angel onto Sammy Guevara from out of the stands at TIAA Bank Field for the victory.
