AEW's first ever show, Double or Nothing, was an incredible spectacle as it had a mix of everything. As expected, the in-ring wrestling was great to watch, while the storylines also kept us invested in the product.

For WWE fans, there were a few familiar names and a whole of host indie Superstars who they wouldn't have heard before.

There were quite a few former WWE Superstars at the show - from former WWE Champions to NXT stars, to those that were jobbers or didn't make it at WWE but made it big outside of the promotion.

Let's take a look at all the former WWE Superstars who made an appearance at AEW's Double or Nothing:
