Everything We Know About All Elite Wrestling So Far
They aren't playing games...
Jan 9, 2019
So the AEW Double Or Nothing fan rally took place last night and goodness me, those boys aren't messing around, are they?
Some will say that the rally and press conference was a tad disappointing because we didn't really find out too many key details - like if there's a TV deal, or other subjects of that magnitude. To those people I say, have you ever been on a first date and found out everything there is to know about the person sitting across the table from you?
I doubt it... give it time, and the good things will come.
Anyway, since the birth of AEW on New Year's Eve we've been finding out more and more about the new promotion. Let's take a whistle-stop tour through everything we know about All Elite Wrestling so far...
MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas. See you there.
All we know about the second show is that "a large portion of the gate" will go towards benefiting victims of gun violence.
Jericho and Baker have signed with AEW, the status of the others is a bit up in the air at the moment. Will they just be one-offs? Full-time roster members? Who knows?
Jericho, who promised to help AEW take over the 'universe' before seeing his profile moved to the alumni section WWE.com and image removed from the opening 'Then, Now, Forever' ident, said he will be on the Double Or Nothing Card.
Hangman Page and PAC had a bit of a staredown after The Elite member said he wanted to be the first AEW Champion - is a match between the pair happening at Double Or Nothing?
There will be a working relationship with China's OWE. A beginner's guide to OWE can be found
here.
At the time of writing, here is the full active roster for All Elite Wrestling:
Confirmed by @dougEwrestling on Twitter, who was at the rally.
Announced by Chief Brand Officer Brandi Rhodes at the rally. She also said that AEW will be going after the top female talent in the world, and she has been speaking to people all over the world while on her travels recently.
Cody Rhodes also said that anyone hurt in an AEW ring will be "covered".
Have that one, Road Dogg.
Some sources online claim he's given AEW a $100million war chest to get going with.
Matt while signing his AEW contract: “It’s January 2 here in Tokyo and we just signed our contracts which could be the next five years of our lives. I’m very excited for the next adventure.”
Dave Meltzer later confirmed the length of their deals.
The same title Stephanie McMahon has with WWE, no less.
NJPW's current working relationship with ROH is still intact, though. However, that relationship reportedly runs out after ROH's MSG show at the start of April, opening the door for AEW to get involved once again.
