Following the success of the All In pay-per-view event, it was clear that independent wrestlers Cody Rhodes and the Young Bucks weren't kidding around when they said they wanted to "change the world." Following that show in September, there were rumblings that the trio was prepared to launch its own wrestling company.
Now, after partnering with Jacksonville Jaguars owners Tony Khan and Shahid Khan, their vision is becoming a reality. All Elite Wrestling, which was formally announced on January 1, has revealed its initial roster of stars, and it's loaded with some very interesting names in the pro wrestling industry--including a couple notable faces from WWE.
While AEW's first major event, Double or Nothing, won't happen until May 25, we can't help but get excited about all of the match possibilities, given the talent involved. There are obviously going to be more names announced leading up to the company's debut, but thus far this is a pretty incredible crew of men and woman.
As you look ahead to Double or Nothing and think about what AEW would mean to the world of professional wrestling, take a look at everyone announced for the roster so far. Then sound off in the comments about who you'd like to see join Cody and the Bucks in this new company.
