On January 1st, 2019, Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks officially inaugurated their brand new wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling, as the trio partnered up with Tony Khan and the Khan Family.

Shortly after that, Cody and The Bucks' fellow Elite stablemate and former Bullet Club stablemate Kenny Omega also joined as one of the Executive Vice-Presidents of AEW. The likes of Chris Jericho, Hangman Page, MJF, and Britt Baker were some of the initial signings made by AEW, who hosted their debut shot Double or Nothing on the 25th of May in Las Vegas.

At AEW: Double Or Nothing, former WWE superstar Jon Moxley also made his return to Pro Wrestling and made his debut for the promotion when he attacked both Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega following their main event.
