AEW Double or Nothing ran from 8:00 PM/ET on May 24, 2026, and the main card ended after four hours. After the show, fans began exiting the arena but reported major difficulties reaching their homes. Multiple fans said only one ramp was available to access the 7 train parking lot outside the stadium. Reports claimed there were no crowd control arrangements by venue management or law enforcement. Fans described being trapped on the ramp after the MTA locked the entrance/exit of the 7 train platform. Some wrestling journalists reacted online by calling for earlier PPV start times on the East Coast.
"MTA locked the entrance/exit of the 7 train platform and trapped 10k+ people on the ramp. No staff, no police, nobody to direct us where to go,"
"Fans forced to take a single ramp to access the 7 train and parking lot after [AEW] Double or Nothing at Louis Armstrong Stadium. Not a single [MTA] or {NYPD] worker to assist with the crowd control."
"After the main card of the show ended after four hours, fans started exiting the arena. However, already late, several fans started posting how difficult it became for them to exit the area, reach their residence, or home."
"Several fans posted video clips on X (formerly known as Twitter) stating that only one ramp was available for all the fans to access the 7 train parking lot outside the stadium. It was also noted that there were no crowd control arrangements made by the management or law enforcement to ensure the smooth exit of fans from the venue."
