On Thursday, All Elite Wrestling officially held their press conference for their upcoming Double or Nothing pay-per-view. Cody and The Bucks teased several surprises for the event and the show did introduce a couple of notable names to the AEW roster.
The biggest news is former IWGP Heavyweight champion Kenny Omega officially signing with the roster; however, the biggest surprise is that AEW now has a working relationship with AAA.
Couple that with the fact that the likes of Best Friends (Chuckie T and Trent Beretta), Sonny Kiss (Lucha Underground star XO Lishus), Sammy Guevara (Lucha Underground and MLW), and Penelope Ford are now officially on the AEW roster, then the Double or Nothing event was definitely a newsworthy show.
