AEW DOUBLE OR NOTHING 2019

EVENT HISTORY

Double or Nothing 2019 was a hugely important event because it was AEW’s first ever official event and pay per view, taking place only months after the company launched in January 2019. It followed the success of All In 2018, but this time Cody, The Young Bucks and the rest of The Elite were presenting a show under the new All Elite Wrestling banner.

There was already major interest in AEW before the show. Double or Nothing at the MGM Grand Garden Arena sold out extremely quickly, with AEW reporting a sellout in under 30 minutes.

Double or Nothing therefore wasn’t simply another wrestling pay per view. All In showed that the idea could work; Double or Nothing was the night AEW began putting that idea into practice as its own wrestling promotion. AEW would go on to launch Dynamite later that year in October 2019.
