Along with the announcement that All Elite Wrestling's new TV show will premiere on TNT on October 2nd, the official press release noted the following regarding the show premiere's talent roster.

AEW is headlined by Cody & Brandi Rhodes, The Young Bucks (Matt & Nick Jackson), Kenny Omega, Hangman Adam Page, Chris Jericho and Jon Moxley. The roster is also filled with incredibly skilled competitors including Nyla Rose, Awesome Kong, Dustin Rhodes, Jungle Boy, Dr. Britt Baker, MJF and SCU. In addition to being in-ring talent, Cody, The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega also serve as EVPs with Brandi Rhodes serving as Chief Brand Officer. Renowned commentator Jim Ross has also joined the league.

It's interesting to note that the initial talent roster does not make mention of three key names - PAC (aka Neville in WWE) and The Lucha Bros, consisting of Pentagon and Fenix.

The press release does mention Awesome Kong, who is a former Impact Wrestling Knockout and WWE star, confirming Kong will indeed be part of the AEW TV roster going forward.

Regarding PAC, he previously pulled out of competing in his scheduled match at Double Or Nothing, due to creative issues, and his status with the company remains unclear at this point.
