More All Elite Wrestling signings have been confirmed!

Along with a large portion of wrestling fans and news outlets everywhere, we’ve been following along with all the happenings of the newly confirmed All Elite Wrestling promotion (see the initial announcement), as well as all the details surrounding the company which have and will continue to slowly come across the wire.

We already know that the first big event from AEW will be Double Or Nothing, which fans can attend a rally for on January 8th at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville (go here for more on that). Plus, we also know that Cody Rhodes had officially signed what’s said is a multi-year deal with the expectation that The Young Bucks would follow suit not long after.

While we already noted it (find the story and confirmation of Cody’s backstage role here), The Young Bucks have officially put pen to paper for All Elite Wrestling, as well as Adam ‘Hangman’ Page and Brandi Rhodes:

Another talent that has been widely speculated to be a part of the project is the reigning IWGP Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho, who recently stirred up more rumors after attending this past weekend’s Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings game and gave a shout-out to Tony Khan (check that out here), who has now been revealed as the President of All Elite Wrestling, as well as a financial backer. Now, even more talk among fans about Jericho playing a role with AEW has arisen after the graphic designer for ‘Y2J’ tweeted out the following countdown which will end on February 1st. Of course, we don’t know what exactly the clock is ticking down for, but it has led many to believe it will be an AEW-related announcement:

EA’s Take: Obviously with everything going on surrounding AEW, people are going to take this countdown clock and immediately assume that’s what the end result will be. Let’s relax for a minute on that. Jericho just recently revealed plans for another Jericho Cruise, so I think it’s not entirely illogical to reason it could have something to do with that. Also, this guy’s done work that’s been used for Fozzy as well, so also not an impossibility. Just things to think about before anyone wants to jump to conclusions.
