AEW Double or Nothing took place at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Flushing on May 24, featuring title bouts and hardcore matches. Stadium Stampede matched seven wrestlers against seven in a no-holds-barred fight that spilled through aisles and in front of merchandise stands. Fans chased the wrestlers as chaos erupted around them, including a stampede of spectators rushing around the rafters with phones. A stunt involving Jungle Jack Perry featured a bus ramming into a golf cart outside the arena, narrowly missing Mark Davis. The crash appeared realistic enough to trigger a Citizen app notification for thousands of users, reporting a bus and golf cart collision. AEW CEO Tony Khan commented on the incident after the pay-per-view.
"Stadium Stampede pitted seven wrestlers against seven others in a no-holds-barred battle that saw competitors brawl through the aisles and in front of merchandise stands. Fans chased the wrestlers throughout the arena as chaos erupted around them. They went that way! one fan yelled, prompting a stampede of spectators rushing around the rafters with phones in hand."
"Meanwhile, an incredible stunt featured wrestler Jungle Jack Perry aboard a bus that rammed into a golf cart, narrowly missing Mark Davis outside the arena. The crash looked so realistic that it triggered a Citizen app notification for thousands of users. Report of Bus and Golf Cart Collision, the notification read."
"AEW CEO Tony Khan spoke to amNewYork about the incident during a press conference immediately following the pay-per-view event. I believe that Jack is the first person to get the cops called on him for crashing a car in wrestling since Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert rolled over a car in Memphis in 1990, so I thought that was pretty cool, Khan said."
