The women's finals of the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament came down to Jamie Hayter and Mercedes Mone, a first-time match. After going over 20 minutes, Mercedes would get the victory, keeping her undefeated streak alive and earning herself a shot at the AEW Women's World Championship.
Later in the night, fans got to see Toni Storm defend her AEW Women's World Championship against Mina Shirakawa, guaranteeing that it would be Mone vs. Storm at All In Texas. Some fans online have come up with the idea that both the AEW Women's World and TBS Championships could be on the line in a winner-take-all stipulation.

The men's side had a first-time match as well as it saw Will Ospreay and "Hangman" Adam Page meet each other in the finals to determine who would get a shot against Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship at All In Texas. The story being told in the build up and during this match was the "ascension" of Will Ospreay against the "redemption" of Adam Page, with both men wanting to bring the AEW Championship back to the company.
Despite the absolutely hectic and 100 miles per hour show Double or Nothing was, thanks to the Anarchy in the Arena match, Ospreay vs. Page was a solid main event and gave many fans the result they wanted. Hangman will get a chance to reclaim the AEW World Championship as he beat Ospreay to become the 2025 men's Owen Hart Cup winner.
