FTW champ Chris Jericho gets two challengers for Double or Nothing

For the second straight PPV, Chris Jericho and HOOK will wrestle for the FTW title. Unlike at April’s Dynasty show, however, at Double or Nothing Jericho will be defending a belt that he’s rechristened — and there will be a third man in the match.

Ever since turning on HOOK to lean into negative fan reactions with a new heel gimmick, Jericho’s been trying to double-talk his way around a rematch. That was part of why AEW was running a Contender Series to find out who would challenge for the FTW championship this Sunday at Double or Nothing.

That series gave us a three-way match on the May 22 Dynamite, pitting HOOK against his sometime-tag partner & fellow Jericho foe Katsuyori Shibata and Bryan Keith. It came down to a moment when both HOOK and Shibata had Keith trapped in a submission. When he tapped...

...it set-up another three-way for this weekend in Las Vegas.

So the line-up for Double or Nothing now looks like so:

• The Elite (The Young Bucks, Kazuchika Okada & Jack Perry) vs. Team AEW (FTR, Bryan Danielson & Darby Allin) in Anarchy in the Arena

• Swerve Strickland (c) vs. Christian Cage for the AEW World championship

• Timeless Toni Storm (c) vs. Serene Deeb for the AEW Women World title

• Roderick Strong (c) vs. Will Ospreay for the International championship

• Willow Nightingale (c) vs. Mercedes Moné for the TBS title

• Adam Copeland (c) vs. Malakai Black in a Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match for the TNT championship; if Copeland loses he has to “bend the knee” to House of Black

• Chris Jericho (c) vs. HOOK vs. Katsuyori Shibata for the FTW title

• Jon Moxley vs. Konosuke Takeshita in an IWGP World Heavyweight championship Eliminator

• Orange Cassidy vs. Trent Beretta

• The Bang Bang Gang (Jay White, Austin & Colten Gunn) (c) vs. Death Triangle (PAC, Rey Fenix & Penta El Zero M) for the Unified Trios titles
