Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks held a chilly Winter February Double Or Nothing Ticket Announcement Pool Party and during it they made a number of additions to the already promising AEW Roster.
All Elite Wrestling already made a number of roster announcements during their AEW rally with the likes of Chris Jericho, SCU, Pac and Britt Baker announcing they had signed on to the new promotion.

But, like I said, we all already know about Pac and Chris Jericho and The Elite being part of the AEW Roster, what we all want to know now is who will be joining them right? So without further ado, lets' take a look at who joined them!
#1 Sonny Kiss
The first major roster announcement of the Double or Nothing Ticket Party was the Lucha Underground wrestler and manager Sonny Kiss, who fabulously kicked off proceedings by announcing he'll be kicking ass in Las Vegas at AEW's first major show 'Double or Nothing'.
Sonny Kiss or 'The Concrete Rose' is better known in Lucha Underground as XO Lishus. But perhaps more notably, Kiss and fellow wrestler Killian McMurphy are famously the first openly gay couple in wrestling.

Our very own Lee Walker interviewed Sonny Kiss a while back and you can see Kiss talk about his relationship with McMurphy and National Coming Out Day right here!
Sonny Kiss is an excellent addition to the AEW Roster and exemplifies their 'out of the box' thinking when it comes to signing talent. I can't wait to see what he gets up to at 'Double or Nothing' and beyond!
#2 Sammy Guevara
Fresh off of the heels of AEW announcing a partnership with Mexican Lucha Libre promotion AAA was the announcement that a certain champion within AAA would be officially joining the roster for AEW, Sammy Guevara.
Guevara was trained by Booker T, and despite being only 25, has appeared for many wrestling promotions such as Aro Lucha, WWE and Impact Wrestling
Sammy Guevara is undoubtedly one of the most talented young wrestlers in the world, so it's definitely a bit of a coup for AEW to secure the services of the current AAA Cruiserweight Champion.
#3 Best Friends
It seemed fairly obvious that Trent Beretta and Chuckie T (Chuck Taylor) would be heading to All Elite Wrestling when they announced their departure from New Japan Pro Wrestling, but it was still great to see them turn up for AEW at the Double or Nothing Ticket Party.
The Best Friends are one of Independent Wrestling's hottest tag-team acts with crowds all over the world going absolutely crazy at the sight of Beretta and Taylor simply hugging in the middle of the ring.
That being said, the pair are also fantastic wrestlers and are welcome additions to AEW's extremely promising tag-team, joining 'Strong Hearts' from oWe, SCU and, of course, The Young Bucks themselves.
#4 Lucha Bros
Okay, so we already saw The Young Bucks confront Pentagon and Fenix, otherwise known as the Lucha Bros, at a recent indy show. The two tag-teams made a handshake agreement for the Lucha Libre tag-team to join AEW.
What we didn't know was that Pentagon and Fenix were going to interrupt The Young Bucks during their Double or Nothing Ticket Party announcement and then completely annihilate them with Matt and Nick Jackson getting destroyed on the stage.
Quite the statement from one of the world's best tag-teams who seem intent on headlining Double or Nothing against the Young Bucks. It seems like we're going to get that wish and what a match it will be!
#5 Yuka Sakazaki
Staying true to their word about building new stars rather than relying on old stars or wrestlers from other promotions, Brandi Rhodes' first announcement and a new addition to the AEW Women's Roster was Yuka Sakazaki, a Japanese wrestler I'd never heard of, but who the crowd seemed to pop for!
Sakazaki wrestles for Tokyo Joshi Pro and is widely regarded to be one of the most talented, if not the most talented wrestler for the promotion, so she seems like a fantastic addition to the roster, who Western fans are absolutely going to love.
#6 Aja Kong
Aja Kong is somewhat of a legend in the business and an immediately more recognisable name in the world of professional wrestling than Yuka Sakazaki, and one who will absolutely need no introduction when she arrives at Double or Nothing.
Kong is one of the biggest and best female Japanese Wrestlers and her presence in the AEW Women's Roster should not be underestimated. She's a veteran and can lead the women in a similar way to Chris Jericho, and a dominant force in the ring. A great get for AEW.
#7 Kylie Rae
One of female wrestling's hottest free agents Kylie Rae was the next big addition to the AEW Women's Division, as announced by Brandi Rhodes. She was also given the opportunity to address the Double or Nothing Ticket Party audience and she came across incredibly well, just as expected.
Anyone not familiar for Kylie Rae should absolutely get up to speed with her work! She smiles all of the time and wrestles in Pikachu gear. If that doesn't make you want to watch her succeed in the wrestling ring then I don't know what will!
#8 Nyla Rose
The next, and last addition to the Women's Roster in AEW was another relative unknown, but someone who, true to form, looks like she has a ton of promise and certainly looked like she had a bone to pick with Kylie Rae.
I am, of course, talking about Nyla Rose whose nickname is 'The American Kaiju' and she certainly lives up to the moniker in terms of size and stature. It looks like we might be getting treated to a case of 'David Vs. Goliath' with AEW's women at 'Double or Nothing'.
Nyla has been wrestling for seven years and her other nicknames are 'The Native Beast' and 'Barbie Breaker' which should give you more of an idea of what she's about!
#9 Kenny Omega
They saved the best until last. It had to be. In hindsight it was obvious. But 'The Cleaner', 'The Best Bout Machine' Kenny Omega is officially joining the AEW Roster after weeks of keeping everyone on edge.
But that's not all! Kenny Omega was interrupted by Chris Jericho and the two men came to blows. You know what that means? No, Kenny didn't make the list, but we're going to get Kenny Omega Vs. Chris Jericho at 'Double or Nothing'
Add that to Lucha Bros Vs. The Young Bucks and Adam 'Hangman' Page Vs. Pac and you've got yourself one heck of a card!
