Kris Statlander Returns, Becomes The New AEW TBS Champion At Double Or Nothing

Tonight's AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view was a wild ride for Jade Cargill. Cargill had successfully retained the AEW TBS Championship against Taya Valkyrie, taking her record to 60-0. Post-match, Mark Sterling stated that there is "nobody" left to challenge Cargill, before Kris Statlander's music hit.

The two ended up having a match, where Statlander defeated Cargill and became the new AEW TBS Champion. This is the first title that Statlander has held since signing with AEW back in December 2019. 

Statlander had been out of action since August 2022 due to a torn ACL and torn meniscus. One of her last matches on AEW TV was on the July 15, 2022, episode of "AEW Ramage," where she teamed with ROH Women's World Champion Athena and defeated The Renegade Twins.

Cargill had held the title since the January 5, 2022 episode of "Dynamite" following her victory over Ruby Soho in the tournament final and became the first TBS Champion.

The only other title to change hands at tonight's pay-per-view was the AEW Women's Championship as Toni Storm became the AEW Women's Champion for a second time after defeating Jamie Hayter. It's worth noting that Hayter had some help from her Outcasts stablemates.

The event also saw The Blackpool Combat Club defeat The Elite in the main event, while MJF successfully defended the AEW World Championship against the "pillars of AEW" — "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry, Sammy Guevara, and Darby Allin in the co-main event.
