AEW Double Or Nothing 2021: 37 Things You Probably Missed

6. Close To The Flame

Yes, that's a lit brazier/oil drum in the middle of the Jacksonville Jaguars' football field. Yes, that's Jake Hager trying to push Wardlow's face into the flames and commit actual murder on an NFL-licensed field of play. No, there was no 10-yard penalty for The Inner Circle.

AEW's cameras didn't linger on this shot for too long either. That's a shame, because it was quite the visual.

5. What Jericho Said To MJF

Jericho and MJF will be remembered in years to come as one of the greatest combos in All Elite Wrestling history. Whether partners or opponents, they always work well together and have natural chemistry. For example, check this moment out.

MJF sneaked out of his limo and heard Jericho whisper, "Hey Max" behind him. When the heel turned round, his old pal added, "...ya stupid bastard" to sell the disdain they have for one another. Such childish insults became a theme of their brawls throughout TIAA Bank Field and Daily's Place all night.

4. MJF Punched Shahid Khan

Look out for MJF vs. Shahid Khan at Double Or Nothing 2022.

Maybe not, but MJF did sock that cardboard cutout of Tony Khan's dad during 'Stampede'. Hilariously, Jericho then picked the thing up and said, "You are in so much trouble". Forget the fact that punching some cardboard shouldn't have hurt the heel - there was a wall behind it.
