2019 kicked off with a major bang, as Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks released a new episode of Being The Elite late night on New Year’s Eve, in which the group announced the launch of All Elite Wrestling, a new wrestling promotion which will feature the former Bullet Club members also known as The Elite.
In addition to the announcement of the new promotion, the group also announced a follow-up PPV to the widely acclaimed All In event which took place back in September. The second PPV will be known as Double Or Nothing, and The Elite will be holding a rally in Jacksonville on Tuesday, January 8th, to promote the event.
According to a new report by Pro Wrestling Sheet, the new All Elite Wrestling promotion will see Jacksonville Jaguars co-owner Tony Khan serve as the President of the company. Khan is the son of billionaire Shahid Khan, who is also an owner of the Jaguars and will likely be helping to fund AEW.
The Sheet report also notes sources close to the new promotion are reporting Matt Jackson, Nick Jackson and Cody Rhodes will serve as Executive Vice Presidents of the new promotion. Sources added a key component to the new deal was keeping in tact the creative team behind All In.
With regards to talent for the new promotion, PWInsider is reporting AEW is currently in the process of locking talents down to multi-year deals, however, no names have been revealed as roster members as of this writing.
Chris Jericho, who has been rumored for several months to be involved in the AEW project, continued to fuel rumors of his potential involvement when he posted the following photo of himself at a recent Jacksonville Jaguars NFL game.
