What's the story?

Ever since its announcement on the 1st of January, All Elite Wrestling has definitely taken the Pro-Wrestling business by storm and has been making all the right moves ever since.

Having already signed the likes of SCU, MJF, Joey Janela, and Britt Baker, AEW have now officially signed two of the Independent Wrestling's top superstars.

In case you didn't know...

On 1st January, Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks, along with several other members of The Elite officially announced their inaugural wrestling promotion, All Elite Wrestling. Founded by businessmen Shahid Khan and Tony Khan, who also happen to own the Jacksonville Jaguars and Fulham FC.

Cody, Matt, and Nick Jackson are not only the first inaugural contracted AEW wrestlers but currently also serve as the executive vice presidents of the promotion. Elsewhere, the likes of Hangman Page, Joey Janela, Pac, Chris Jericho, Britt Baker, and Brandi Rhodes are all part of the AEW roster as well.

The heart of the matter

At tonight's Come Hell or High pay-per-view, AEW Vice-President, Cody Rhodes and Hangman Page continued the AEW invasion, as the two men once again saved their close friend Joey Ryan.

Having already recently invaded Bar Wrestling, Defy Wrestling, and Northeast Wrestling, last night the members of The Elite once again crashed another Independent Wrestling Promotion.

In the main event of the show, Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fenix- collectively known as The Lucha Bros- defeated SCU and shortly afterward, were confronted by The Young Bucks. Both Matt and Nick came out and thanked both Penta and Fenix for keeping tag team wrestling alive and would eventually offer the two a contract with AEW.

What's next?

Signing both Penta and Fenix is surely a huge buy for AEW, given that the two men have been killing it on the Indie Circuit for years now. As of right now, the AEW roster has some of the biggest names in the world of Professional Wrestling and come 25th May, Double or Nothing promises to be another historic event.
