The time has come for the debut of All Elite Wrestling.
Double or Nothing is the first show with the AEW branding and will bring a lot of the best wrestlers from the independent scene together in front of a sold out crowd at the MGM Grand Ballroom in Las Vegas.
Nine matches are confirmed for this pay-per-view with one title and two number one contenders to become the first AEW Champion on the line. It was confirmed this week that the winner of the Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega match will go on to face the winner of the Casino Battle Royal.

There are 21 wrestlers entering in the Battle Royal and not all of them have been confirmed, so it'll be interesting to see how AEW books this match. It'll be especially interesting to see how it's booked since the Casino Battle Royal will be on the pre-show called, The Buy In.
The lone title match is for the AAA Tag Team Championships. The Young Bucks - Matt and Nick Jackson - go into Double or Nothing as champs after defeating the Lucha Brothers in their home country. Pentagon and Fenix look to recapture their titles and prove they are the best tag team in the world.
A lot is expected to go down at Double or Nothing and here's up-to-the-minute updates and results from the show.
