Tony Khan officially announces massive AEW signing of former world champion

AEW President Tony Khan continues to sign more talent. He has now signed a former Ring of Honor World Champion to his roster. The champion was Bandido.

Bandido has competed in AEW a couple of times in the past. He recently faced 'The Ocho' Chris Jericho for the Ring of Honor World title. Despite losing the match, he put on a great showing which impressed WWE as well. WWE and AEW reportedly both offered him contracts and he has chosen to become All Elite.

Tony Khan took to Twitter to officially welcome the former ROH World Champion to his promotion.

"Congratulations @bandidowrestler! What a huge win moments ago on #AEWRampage on @TNTdrama tonight!! Now it's official: Bandido is ALL ELITE!" Tony Khan tweeted.

You can check out Tony's tweet below:

On tonight's episode of AEW Rampage, Bandido wrestled another recent AEW signee, Rush, in the first round of the Eliminator tournament to determine the new number-one contender for the AEW World Title.

Both stars put on an impressive showing. Rush had some assistance from his manager throughout the match. Just as it looked like Bandido was gaining momentum, Jose The Assistant interfered looking to rip off the Luchador's mask. Dark Order's John Silver showed up to save the day and in turn distracted Rush. This was enough for Bandido to get a roll-up and win the match.

Bandido advanced to the next round of the eliminator tournament.

Are you excited that the Luchador is officially All Elite? Let us know in the comments section below.
