All Elite Wrestling Double Or Nothing Party: Everything Announced

All Elite Wrestling's Double or Nothing Ticket Announcement party is underway, and wrestling fans looking for more information on the promotion and its first show were not disappointed.

Fans first glimpse into the world of AEW followed the All Elite Wrestling reveal on the New Year's Day episode of the Being the Elite web series. After, a rally on January 8 gave further details on what to expect and announced some of the promotion's first signees.

Now AEW fans are looking at the Double or Nothing Ticket Announcement Party for information on not just the ticket situation, but whether more big-name wrestlers are coming to the new promotion.

The Being the Elite series as well as The Road to Double or Nothing series on Cody Rhodes' YouTube channel give fans a peek into how the promotion is running and which wrestlers are joining AEW.

The latest BTE teased Pentagon Jr. and Fenix joining AEW roster while The Road to Double or Nothing confirmed Jimmy Havoc's signing. And, of course, whether Kenny Omega will appear in Las Vegas for the Double or Nothing party has been a topic of discussion for some time. It's teased on Being the Elite, so fans will likely have a better idea of his status soon.

Here's everything announced and revealed during the AEW Double or Nothing Ticket Announcement Party.
