All Elite Wrestling
After Months of rumors, the Wrestling group known as The Elite who were behind the smash hit event All In have announced All Elite Wrestling or AEW for short. So far little is known about the company, there is an event set for January 8th in Jacksonville, Florida which will have an announcement.
At the moment Cody Rhodes is the only Wrestler under Contract but it's expected The Young Bucks will soon follow suit. It's also rumored that Chris Jericho and Jim Ross have been approached to join. Others likely to be involved are the team of SoCal Uncensored (Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian & Scorpio Sky), Adam Paige, and Cody's Wife, Brandi.
Another name mentioned is Kenny Omega but his plans post Wrestle Kingdom on the 3rd aren't known yet. His Contract also expires this month, most NJPW deals are year to year, but unlike the others, he has made no statements as to his future plans.
Tony Khan of the Jacksonville Jaguars will be President of AEW while Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks will be Executive Vice Presidents.

Re: All Elite Wrestling
The Young Bucks weren't free Agents for long, as soon as they were able to they signed deals with AEW.
Britt Baker has also signed on to join AEW, Baker wrestled briefly with NXT and was a stand out in the 4-Way Women's Match at All In.
A couple other names being tied to the company are Dimond Dallas Page and Goldberg. Its unlikely Page would wrestle so his role isn't known but Goldberg is coming off a pretty successful run in WWE so a brief run to help establish the company and land a TV Deal wouldn't be out of the question.

Re: All Elite Wrestling
Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian & Scorpio Sky have all signed on to join AEW. This isn't a huge surprise as all three are on the banner for tonight's Double or Nothing event.
Speaking of the event I will be following it to see what announcements are made

Re: All Elite Wrestling
An update on Allie, she returned to the indy scene Friday, March 29th, as her original gimmick, Cherry Bomb, the same night Allie was "killed" on Impact by Su Yung. This could be the gimmick she'll use in AEW.

The Long awaited match is finally happening, Cody has revealed his Double or Nothing opponent to be his older Brother Dustin Runnels. The two had pushed to have a match at WrestleMania while both were in the company but it never happened, instead, it will happen at the end of May.
