Shida managed to overcome the consistent onslaught of the larger Rose before finally using the rules -- or lack thereof -- to score the win, breaking a kendo stick over Rose's head and hitting a running knee to win her first title in AEW.
There were no titles on the line, but there was no better way for Double or Nothing to go off the air than The Elite's triumphant moment in the ambitious cinematic match.

This was a much better showing for the up-and-coming Statlander than that unfortunate encounter with Nyla Rose back at Revolution.
Nyla Rose (c) via pinfall with a running knee strike to win the title!
Rose brought a kendo stick to the ring and attempted to use it right away before Shida got her hands on it and took it out of the equation.
Already having the upper hand in a straight-up wrestling match, Rose took advantage of the lack of rules in the match to batter Shida around ringside.
Shida made a big comeback, using a hip toss to launch Rose onto the giant poker chips serving as arena decoration and then driving her through another one with a running knee.
Shida would continue fighting back through powerful offense from Rose, even hitting the bigger woman with an avalanche Falcon Arrow for a near fall.
This was a good call as Rose has plenty of potential, but Shida is a much more finished product right now.
