Omega came close to victory on multiple occasions, but it was Chris Jericho who was the better man this time. After hitting the Codebreaker, he nailed The Judas Effect, a devastating spinning elbow strike, before pinning Omega for the win.
With his victory, Chris Jericho will go on to face “Hangman” Adam Page, who won the Casino Battle Royale earlier in the night, to crown the first ever AEW Champion at a later date. After the match, Jericho grabbed a microphone to demand a thank you from the crowd and AEW as a whole for his part in their success.
As he made these demands, the crowd began to stir. Suddenly it became clear why, as Jon Moxley was making his way through the crowd and towards the ring. Moxley, who has plenty of history with Jericho from his days in WWE as Dean Ambrose, entered the ring to a raucous reaction.
Chris Jericho turned and dropped the microphone, looking absolutely stunned. Moxley didn’t waste much time before planting Jericho with Dirty Deeds, his signature double underhook DDT. For good measure, he then planted the referee with the same move.

Finally, Moxley turned his attention to Kenny Omega to make a final statement. In all the commotion after the match, Omega had gotten a chance to catch his breath, and he fought out of it. Things quickly spilled to the outside.
Jon Moxley and Kenny Omega continued to fight on the outside, working their way through the crowd and up towards the stage where a large prop of giant poker chips was located. Both men climbed up onto them, and Moxley hit a stiff knee before driving Omega into the giant poker chips with Dirty Deeds.
For good measure, Jon Moxley finished things off by sending Omega flying off them and through the stage. AEW Double or Nothing went off the air with Jon Moxley, former WWE Champion, perched on the stage as the last man standing.
