All Elite Wrestling's sophomore Stadium Stampede match went down at Double Or Nothing 2021, as The Inner Circle bested The Pinnacle in a building-spanning brawl that stipulated Chris Jericho's crew would have to split in the event of a defeat.

This didn't come into play in the end, as Sammy Guevara pinned Shawn Spears in the middle of the ring after the Stampede had segued back from its pretaped phase and into the live show, the wrestlers re-entering Daily's Place after fighting across the adjacent TIAA Bank Field.

Per Fightful Select, the majority of the Stadium Stampede was filmed last Thursday. Additional footage was captured on Friday, and the report describes a "pretty swift turnaround" with regards to the editing process. The backstage response was positive, too, with Fightful's sources happy with how the Stadium Stampede ended up playing out.
