In regard to rumors that Ric Flair was originally set to present the AEW title at Double or Nothing, that is incorrect. Bret Hart was always planned for that role.
Chris Jericho no-showed his scheduled podcast at Starrcast the day after AEW Double or Nothing, citing that he wasn't coming because the crowd wouldn't thank you. Jericho informed Starrcast he would not be appearing, which put them in a pretty rough position of having to deal with upset fans. Jericho sent in a video message that was played with fans being offered free admission into the Dustin Rhodes panel instead. Matt Striker did an amazing job of quelling a pretty upset crowd.
