AEW closes the pay-per-view with a shocking post-match heel turn.
Summary
– Kevin Knight turned on Darby Allin after the AEW World Title match at Double or Nothing
– MJF defeated Allin in the title versus hair main event to begin his third AEW World Title reign
– Knight flipped over Allin’s stretcher after previously encouraging him before the match
Kevin Knight ended AEW Double or Nothing with one of the night’s biggest surprises.
The pay-per-view closed at Louis Armstrong Stadium after Darby Allin defended the AEW World Championship against MJF in a title versus hair match.
MJF won the match and became AEW World Champion for the third time. Allin was left badly beaten after the main event and had to be taken away on a stretcher.
That is when Knight made his move.
Knight came down while Allin was being removed from ringside. Instead of helping his friend, he flipped over the stretcher and left Allin lying in another brutal moment to close the show.
The betrayal landed even harder because Knight had spoken with Allin earlier in the night. He gave him a motivational talk before the match, which now looks like part of a setup rather than support.
MJF appeared stunned by the attack from the entrance area, showing that even the new champion did not seem to expect Knight’s turn.
The angle immediately changes Knight’s direction in AEW. Turning on Allin after such a punishing title match gives him major heat and sets up a clear issue once Allin can respond.
Allin may be hurt after losing the AEW World Title, but Knight’s betrayal gives him another fight waiting when he returns.
For AEW, Double or Nothing ended with a new world champion and a major betrayal that could shape the next chapter of television.
