All Elite Wrestling’s Double Or Nothing Ticket Announcement Party opened up live from The Splash Pool at The MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Conrad Thompson welcomed us to the event and he is joined by Alex Marvez. They introduced the third member of their broadcast team, The Wrestler Excalibur, wearing his mask. Conrad then mentions Chris Jericho showing up at the last AEW rally, teasing another familiar face for the event.
The music hits and out comes Sonny Kiss. Kiss walks to the podium after throwing some merchandise. He says that he heard AEW is for everyone and Sonny Kiss is for everyone. Kiss then says that he will be at Double Or Nothing. Kiss then says that we may see him out here shaking his rear, but he will also be kicking some on May 25th. Excalibur then sends us back to Conrad & Alex. Marvez says that Chief Brand Officer Brandi Rhodes singled out Kiss and signed him. Conrad then welcomes AEW Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes and out he comes to a pop.
Cody takes the podium and fans chant his name. A “thank you Cody!” chant starts next. Cody jokes around some and asks, “If not us, then who? And if not now, then when?” Cody then says that this is starting to feel like a revolution. Fans chant for AEW now. Cody then talks about how they announced the partnership with OEW in China at the Jacksonville rally last month. He then announces a new partnership with AAA in Mexico, which was first revealed on Twitter. Cody then says that their missions stand next to each other. Cody then wants to talk about tickets next. A “we want tickets!” chant starts up. Cody then says that fans want tickets and AEW wants to give them. He announces a pre-sale opportunity on The AEW website. They want to make sure that fans have the best chances to get the best tickets for the best pro wrestling event in history. The pre-sale will begin Monday, February 11th at noon ET and general tickets will go on sale that Wednesday, February 13th. Fans will receive a pre-sale access code when they sign up on the website now. Cody then introduces AAA World Cruiserweight Champion Sammy Guevara. Guevara cuts a promo on being at the top of his game and not just one of the cruiserweights in the world, but one of the best wrestlers in the world. Some fans chant for AAA now. Guevara the plugs The Double Or Nothing Event in May and tells everyone to get their tickets to come see what he does best.
We go back to Conrad & Alex on the stage. Conrad then introduces “Hangman” Adam Page and out he comes to a pop. Page jokes with the crowd some and mentions how he talked about wanting to be the first AEW Champion in Jacksonville. He then says that he was interrupted by a slimy punk, PAC, but he knows PAC won’t be interrupting him tonight because this is his stage. A video message from the former Neville interrupts via satellite. PAC then rips into Page and says that Page just simply isn’t on his level. PAC then says that he is coming for Page. PAC then tells Page to bring everything he’s got on May 25th at Double Or Nothing. Page wants to make it official for Double Or Nothing – The Bastard vs. The Hangman. Fans cheer at his promo and start a “Hangman!” chant. Page leaves as Excalibur confirms PAC vs. Page as the first official Double Or Nothing Match.
Alex & Conrad then introduce The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson). They come to the podium to a pop and fans chant for them. They talk about the state of tag team wrestling these days, even apparently taking a shot at how tag team wrestling can’t be seen on WWE TV. They go on about how they will bring back tag team wrestling with AEW. They then ask fans if tag team wrestling can be the main event and fans pop. The Bucks then introduce a new tag team signed by AEW – The Best Friends (Beretta & Chuckie T). They cut promos on coming to AEW to find tag team competition and get a pop before leaving. The Bucks come back to the podium to thank everyone and plug Double Or Nothing. They go to leave but the music interrupts and out comes The Lucha Brothers (Pentagon Jr. & Rey Fenix). They get a pop as they head to the podium. The Bucks & The Lucha Brothers face off. Pentagon decks Matt first. Fenix takes out Nick with a superkick. Pentagon drops Matt with a package piledriver on the stage. Fans chant “holy s–t!” now. Pentagon & Fenix cut promos on being the best and they plug Double Or Nothing. The Bucks recover and look up from the ground as The Lucha Brothers pose for the fans. They exit as Nick and others check on Matt. Excalibur mentions AEW website troubles and asks everyone to be patient, noting that fans will be able to sign-up for the pre-sale through the weekend. He then says that they will avoid the issues from Chicago last year and everyone will get a chance at the pre-sale. Excalibur then sends us back to Alex & Conrad on the stage.
Conrad then mentions women’s wrestling matches at Double Or Nothing. They introduce Brandi Rhodes next and out she comes. Alex notes that Brandi is working as a talent scout and The Chief Brand Officer. Brandi starts off by asking everyone to wish her big brother Jason a Happy Birthday. She also asks for a “Jason!” chant. Brandi then says that she made some pretty big promises in Jacksonville at The AEW rally. She then says that they have two Japanese Women’s Wrestlers that she wants to highlight, who will be at Double Or Nothing. The first is an up & comer but she’s a budding star in Japan and Brandi says that she will be a bigger star here in The United States – Yuka Sakazaki. One fan really pops at the mention of Yuka’s name. The next is someone we are familiar with – Aja Kong, The All Japan Hall Of Famer & Former WWE Superstar. Moving on, Brandi says that she won’t be coming to Las Vegas by herself because she is bringing a friend. She introduces Kylie Rae and out she comes as the music hits. Rae trained at WWE Hall Of Famer Booker T’s Reality Of Wrestling and held gold three times there. Rae signs a few autographs on her way to the podium. Rae jokes some with fans and thanks everyone, saying it is amazing to be a part of something like AEW. She can’t wait to take the AEW women’s division by storm. Brandi then asks everyone to give it up for Rae again. Brandi’s music starts up but she says that she wasn’t done yet. She says that the women’s division is growing so it shouldn’t surprise us that she brought someone else. The music hits and out comes Nyla Rose, a 5 foot 9, 180 pound indie women’s wrestler from Washington D.C. Rae offers her hand for a shake but Rose refuses and has words for her. Brandi tries to get in between them. Rae & Rose have words now. They want to fight and a “let them fight!” chant starts up. Rose steps in Rae’s face and backs her up. Brandi and a member of Atlas Security separate them as fans boo.
Excalibur is on the stage now. He mentions how AEW will be big on collaborations. He also talks about how he got his start in Southern California. He praises SCU (SoCal Uncensored) and introduces them. Out comes Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian & Scorpio Sky as an “SCU!” chant starts up. They get some local heat and Kazarian mentions how they like to work hard but play harder. He then announces that the official Double Or Nothing after-party will be called SCU All Night, hosted by the group. No other after-party details were announced. Daniels then says that they are really here for this next announcement that Excalibur is going to make. He returns to the podium and brings up AEW’s partnership with OEW (Oriental Entertainment Wrestling). We get a quick promo video and they introduce OWE Vice President Michael Nee, OWE CEO Dragon Fu and the legendary Cima next. They all talk about what OEW will bring to AEW, something they are very excited about. Daniels then praises Cima and invites him to find two partners for a Six-Man Match at Double Or Nothing. They shake on it and celebrate together as the music hits.
We go back to Conrad & Alex on the stage. They say one more big announcement is rumored for the event. A “Kenny!” chant starts up. A video airs with the countdown clock on someone’s phone going down. “A new challenger has emerged…” and it’s Kenny Omega. The music hits at the party and out comes Omega in a suit. Fans pop and Omega signs a few autographs on his way to the podium. Omega says that he didn’t put pen to paper until this morning, but he is very happy and excited to announce that he is now a full-time member of the AEW roster. Fans chant for AEW now. Omega then talks about how they started The Elite in 2016, to give back to the wrestling world and the fans. Omega goes on and says that instead of trying to explain what “change the world” means with words, the cast of Being The Elite will finally be able to show the fans what it means with AEW. The music interrupts Omega and out comes Chris Jericho to a pop. Jericho heads to the podium and they stare each other down. A “holy s–t!” chant starts up. Omega smacks Jericho’s finger away and they tangle on the stage. SCU, Cody and others break them up. Fans chant “let them fight!” and “rematch!” now, all while Jericho’s Fozzy single is still playing. Jericho is escorted to the back while yelling at Omega. Omega is wearing Jericho’s hat at the podium now. A “you look good!” chant starts up. Omega then says that he was just about to get to the best part. He has been waiting 2 months to say his favorite line. He invites everyone to say it with him but he is having some mic issues. Omega fires his shot with the “Good night and good luck” line to end his promo. He makes his exit around the pool and poses for a few selfies with fans. Conrad & Alex plug Double Or Nothing to end this event.
