AEW Double or Nothing kicked off with the Casino Ladder Match, and it was a wild one. During the match, the AEW Universe got to see Brian Cage make his debut, and also got to see him come away with the win, securing his shot at the AEW World Championship.
Shortly after making his entrance into the Ladder Match, Cage spent most of his time underneath a gigantic poker chip. However, late in the match, he finally managed to get himself out from the rubble and climb into the ring. After brawling with Luchasaurus for a bit, Cage eventually turned his attention to Darby Allin, who he tossed out of the ring and onto ladders before climbing up and claiming the poker chip.
For a brief recap of how things ended, check out below, and make sure to follow along with our live coverage of AEW Double or Nothing:
Kaz flies off with a hurricanrana onto Luchasaurus, but misses a bit. Janela gives OC a running DVD onto the outside on top of the poker chip with Cage still underneath. Janela tries climbing and Sky hits a TKO. Kaz leaps in on the other side and the two duke it out on top. Luchasaurus tips them off. Cabana gets booted off the apron. Cage soon unearthes himself as JR states and he and Luchasaurus are duking it out. Harsh kicks from both. Chokeslam gets flipped by Cage and he powerbombs Saurus onto a cornered ladder.
Cage begins to climb the ladder, but in comes Darby. He gets turned inside out by Cage before getting smacked with a Drillclaw. Out comes Taz directing traffic. Darby gets propped up on the top rope with a mini ladder and he gorilla presses Allin out of the ring with the ladder on his back. Cage climbs and pulls down that chip.
