On Thursday night, All Elite Wrestling held another big rally, but this time it was in Las Vegas and that was when a lot of roster additions were announced. During the ticket announcement party for Double or Nothing, Cody Rhodes and company revealed many more big names for the AEW roster, and finally, fans knew where Kenny Omega would land. For those hoping he would sign with WWE, you are going to be disappointed.

Throughout the night, the official Twitter account of AEW updated fans on the new roster additions and other things for Double or Nothing on May 25, 2019. During the rally, a lot of big-time wrestlers were announced as members of the new promotion and that went along with a partnership affiliation as well.

As reported by Wrestling Inc., All Elite Wrestling has indeed partnered with Mexico’s AAA Lucha Libre Worldwide. AAA General Manager Dorian Roldan revealed that the two promotions are going to “present new surprises to the fans, exchange of talent, surprise people, and well, all the surprises that we have this year.”

While many fans attended the Las Vegas pool party and others watched online, the main thing was finding out who else would sign with AEW. Of course, the biggest name was that of Kenny Omega, who spurned WWE to become a roster member of All Elite Wrestling and their Executive Vice President.

It also allowed for Omega to reignite an old feud with former WWE Champion Chris Jericho.
