Darby Allin (c) vs. MJF for the AEW World Championship in a Title vs. Hair Match | All Elite Wrestling

MJF puts his hair on the line tonight at AEW Double or Nothing in front of a sold-out Louis Armstrong Stadium for another shot at World Champion Darby Allin.

Scroll down for the AEW Double or Nothing live blog, or to the end of the article for quick results.

After successfully defending his AEW World Championship at Dynasty against Kenny Omega, MJF was blindsided just days later on Dynamite: Spring Breakthru when Darby Allin cashed in his number-one contendership against Friedman and left with Seattle with the title.

Since then, Allin has defended the AEW World Championship seven times in the last month across both Dynamite and Collision. But the only way he would grant MJF a rematch for the title is if he'd put his hair on the line.

Tonight, something has to give. Either MJF is going to leave New York as a three-time World Champion, or he's going to leave bald.

AEW Double or Nothing live blog results:

The Buy In kicked off with Renee Paquette in the ring introducing Mick Foley to an AEW audience for the very first time. Foley says AEW is the reason he fell in love with professional wrestling all over again.

Five Minute Eliminator Match: AEW Women's World Tag Team Champions Divine Dominion defeated Zayda Steel and Viva Van (w/ Christopher Daniels). Steel and Van attempted to drain the clock early on, but that lasted for less than a minute. The match was surprisingly competitive. Divine Dominion won the match with 15 seconds left on the clock.

After the match, Divine Dominion laid out Christopher Daniels. This brought out TayJay, who were carrying weaponry, forcing Bayne and Kross to back down.

Claudio Castagnoli, Daniel Garcia, and Wheeler Yuta (w/ Marina Shafir) defeated HOOK, Katsuyori Shibata, and Anthony Bowens. This was a fun, hard-hitting affair. The crowd loved every interaction between Shibata and Castagnoli. The Death Riders eventually singled out HOOK and triple-teamed him. Bowens would get the hot tag, but was outnumbered and overwhelmed. The finish saw Castagnoli hit Bowens with the running uppercut to score the pinfall victory for his team.

Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, Mark Briscoe, QT Marshall, and Big Boom AJ (w/ Harley Cameron, Big Justice, and The Rizzler) defeated Shane Taylor Promotions (w/ Christyan). A pure comedy match. Big Boom AJ scored the pinfall victory for his team after QT Marshall fell off the top rope and landed on the floor at ringside.

After the match, Shane Taylor Promotions looked to attack but were stopped by Eddie Kingston, Ortiz, and Mance Warner. This got a MASSIVE reaction from the live crowd.

Renee Paquette and Mick Foley are back in the ring discussing tonight's main event. Foley says he believes Darby Allin will leave tonight with the AEW World Championship. This brings out an angry MJF who berates the crowd and the Knicks. Friedman says Foley and Allin are underdogs and when they are under pressure, they lose.

Foley makes fun of how quickly MJF lost the AEW World Title to Darby Allin and tells him to put his big boy pants on tonight if he wants to beat Allin. Foley declares that MJF is going to lose his hair and Friedman kicked him in the nuts. MJF goes to hit him with the Dynamite Diamond Ring, but Darby Allin makes the save. Foley puts Allin over on the microphone in a massive way, really putting another level of excitement on tonight's main event.

The main show kicks off with the I Quit New York Street Fight

I Quit New York Street Fight: Adam Copeland and Christian Cage defeated FTR (w/ Stokely) to become the new AEW World Tag Team Champions. Barbed wire gets used early from both sides, setting the tone for what type of street fight you're going to get from these four men this evening. Cope and Cage were in control early on, but things eventually shifted in FTR's favor. Tables, ladders, chairs, and everything in between were utilized in this one.

At one point in the match, FTR hit Copeland with a spike piledriver on the commentary table, but it didn't completely break. FTR followed things up by trying to break Cage's wrist inside a cinder block. After Stokley got physically involved, Beth Copeland came out and took it to Stokley, but she was eventually taken out by FTR. Dax tried to put Beth through a burning table, but Cash and Stokely went through it instead.

The finish of the match saw Cage lock Harwood in a Sharpshooter and Beth gave Copeland Spike to utilize a crossface which led to Dax quitting. We have new champions!

Konosuke Takeshita defeated Kazuchika Okada to become the new AEW International Champion. The match started off slow and methodical. Okada attempted multiple pinfalls with his boot on Takeshita's chest. Each time, Takeshita kicked out at one. The pace of the match picked up quickly, with both champion and challenger firmly in control.

Okada would hit Takeshita with a Rainmaker on the apron at one point, but Takeshita rolled out onto the floor to prevent a pinfall attempt. When Okada looked to hit Takeshita with a tombstone on the floor, Callis stopped it. He couldn't stop Takeshita from hitting Okada with a brainbuster on the outside, however. The finish of the match saw Takeshita hit Okada with the Raging Fire to score the pinfall victory.

Kyle Fletcher returns.... and turns on Konosuke Takeshita!

After the match, Rocky Romero and Mark Davis hit the ring and stood with Okada and Callis. It appeared that they were going to attack Takeshita. But before they could, Kyle Fletcher returned to seemingly even the odds.

Fletcher and Takeshita would hug before Fletcher clotheslines Takeshita, solidifying his position in the Don Callis Family. The crowd wasn't thrilled by this turn of events. Fletcher ended things by hitting Takeshita with a teardrop brainbuster and followed it up by hitting him with the title.

Women's Owen Hart Tournament Quarter-Final Match: Athena defeated Mina Shirakawa. The crowd was definitely split with this one as both women had vocal fans in the stadium this evening. This was a fun back and forth contest that was very competitive, but you never really thought this was a match that Shirakawa could win. The finish saw Athena hit Mina with the O-Face to score the pinfall victory.

We see The Conglomeration backstage hyping up Kyle O'Reilly before his match.

Jon Moxley defeated Kyle O'Reilly to retain the AEW Continental Championship. If you've been following the rivalry between Moxley and O'Reilly over the last several months, this match went exactly the way one would expect. Moxley spent a great deal of time targeting O'Reilly's knee, working it over throughout the duration of the match.

O'Reilly would apply various submission holds on Moxley, but none of them were enough to make the champion tap out. The finish of the match saw Moxley force O'Reilly to tap out with a grapevine ankle lock. After the match, Moxley and O'Reilly shook hands in a show of respect.

The Men's Owen Hart Tournament begins in epic fashion

Men's Owen Hart Tournament Quarter-Finals: Will Ospreay defeated Samoa Joe. This match kicked off immediately with Ospreay hitting Joe with an Oz Cutter before the bell even rang. Ospreay and Joe were firing on all cylinders early on before Joe caught Ospreay in a choke on the outside and tossed his neck into the barricade, putting Joe in control of the contest.

From there, Joe would slow down the match and target Ospreay's neck. The pace would pick back up when Ospreay regained control, hitting a Style Clash followed by the Hidden Blade, but Joe kicked out at two. Joe would catch Ospreay in the Coquina Clutch, but Ospreay managed to get to the ropes.

The finish of the match saw Joe go for the Muscle Buster, but it was reversed by Ospreay with two Hidden Blades to score the pinfall victory.

Men's Owen Hart Tournament Quarter-Finals: Swerve Strickland (w/ Prince Nana) defeated Bandido. The match continued with the same energy as the last match had, as Strickland and Bandido weren't holding anything back in the opening minutes of the match. When the action went to the floor, the Ring of Honor World Champion was in firm control of the matchup.

However, once the match got in the ring, Swerve took control of the match and really slowed things down, keeping Bandido grounded as much as possible. Bandido would eventually get going and regain control, but Swerve would slow things down with an INSANE House Call from Bandido's shoulders, followed by a Swerve Stop, but Bandido manages to kick out at two.

Bandido would hit a 21Plex from the ground, but his neck was too damaged to hold on for a three count. The finish of the match saw Bandido attempt another 21Plex, but Swerve reversed it into a Vertebreaker, followed by the House Call to score the pinfall victory.

Can Thekla survive three former AEW Women's World Champions?

Thekla defeated Hikaru Shida, Jamie Hayter, and Kris Statlander to retain the AEW Women's World Championship. While this match is every woman for themselves, it felt like Statlander and Shida had an alliance early on, but it didn't last long. Hayter would try to take out both Statlander and Shida on the outside, but Thekla dived from the top rope and took out all three of them instead.

Thekla took Statlander in the ring and tried to get a quick submission, but got her fingers bit for her troubles. Eventually Shida and Hayter would get back in the action and the champion would find herself in a dangerous scenario where she could lose the title without being pinned. Hayter would hit Thekla with Hayterade, but Shida broke up the pinfall at two.

Statlander would take out both Hayter and Shida outside before hitting Thekla with Staturday Night Fever, but Shida returns and hits Statlander with her kendo stick to break up the pinfall. During the chaos, Thekla would hit Statlander with the Stomp to score the pinfall victory.

Stadium Stampede: Chris Jericho, Kenny Omega, Young Bucks, Jungle Jack Perry, Bobby Lashley, and Shelton Benjamin defeated Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, Toa Liona, Andrade El Idolo, Mark Davis, David Finlay, and Curt Connors. This started off every bit as chaotic as one would expect. At multiple points, the action was displayed on a four-way split screen, making the action impossible to truly keep up with.

Action eventually moves to the backstage area, where crazy Lio Rush assists Bobby Lashley in his battle with Toa Liona. The Young Bucks end up brawling with The Dogs at the merchandise stand. Luchasaurus, in a blonde wig, mists Andrade when he tries to take a photo with a woman at ringside.

Jericho suplexes Ricochet onto a pile of tennis balls in the ring. Meanwhile, Jack Perry and Mark Davis start brawling in the catering area. Andrade joins in and accidentally knocks food onto Satnam Singh, sparking a full-fledged food fight. While plenty of wrestlers have returned to battle at ringside, Jericho and Ricochet are now brawling backstage. Ricochet has a regular tennis racket, and Luther appears to give Jericho a giant one, and he beats down Ricochet with it.

Back at ringside, the Young Bucks and the Hurt Syndicate are battling with GOA and The Dogs. Outside of the venue, Perry tries to run over Davis with the Jurassic Express bus, but Davis escapes. Omega and Andrade join the fight at ringside as Omega hits a bunch of Dragon Suplexes and follows it u with a V-Trigger on Andrade. Omega hits Andrade with a One Winged Angel from the ring apron through a table and the crowd is losing their minds.

The finish of the match saw Bishop Kaun eat a seven way superkick followed by a Lionsault by Jericho to score the pinfall victory for his team.

MJF will either leave AEW Double or Nothing with his title or without his hair

MJF defeated Darby Allin to become the new AEW World Champion. Darby was in control early until an untimely error when he went for a suicide dive to the outside, and his ankles caught the ropes, and he landed badly outside, smashing against the side of the commentary tables. MJF immediately took over the match and tried to keep Allin grounded.

Darby would eventually get back in control of the matchup. But he took another risk that didn't pay off trying to hit MJF with a Coffin Drop on the ring apron, but Friedman moved out of the way.

MJF would follow this up by hitting Allin with a brutal package piledriver on the steel steps outside of the ring. Darby kicks MJF low with the referee's back turned and tries to win with a headlock takeover, but MJF kicks out at two. MJF and Allin exchange several nearfalls, much to the delight of the crowd, who are loving every moment of this match.

Darby goes to dive onto MJF on the outside, but Friedman moves the cameraman in the way, who Allin accidentally takes out instead. Friedman tries to take Allin to the stage to shave his head, but Darby catches him in a guillotine and chokes him out instead. Darby puts MJF on a table and dives off the stage onto MJF through the table in an insane spot that Allin gets the back of his head busted open on.

Allin gets MJF back to the ring, but Friedman kicks out at two. Darby puts MJF in the Scorpion Deathlock, but can't keep it on and passes out. MJF capitalizes and hits Darby with a Tombstone from the turnbuckles, followed by a headlock takeover to score the pinfall victory.

The medical team checks on Darby and puts him on a stretcher as MJF stands over Allin and celebrates. Kevin Knight runs out to chase MJF off, but then hits Allin with a UFO Splash and knocks over the stretcher as AEW Double or Nothing goes off the air.
