Cody Rhodes Claim AEW Has "Over 40" Talents Under Contract
The Executive Vice President makes a bold claim ahead of Double Or Nothing.
All Elite Wrestling is growing. Barely a week passes without Tony Khan's nascent promotion announcing at least one new signing, and with former Dragon Gate standout CIMA the latest wrestler to nail his future to the company, the talent pool is looking healthy ahead of 25 May's Double Or Nothing pay-per-view.
Keeping track of AEW's acquisitions can be tough, but Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes claims the organisation already have 40 talents locked down.
Speaking during a recent appearance on The Ross Report, Cody told J.R. that "there's more talent than a lot of people know, because we're slow and steady on our road to Double Or Nothing, and we don't wanna just put a splash page out on everybody." Rhodes wants to ensure that everyone's arrival is treated as a big deal, and doesn't want to dilute the signings by splurging them all at once.
AEW's signing spree is far from over, though. Rhodes claims that AEW are currently on a "hoss hunt," meaning that they're specifically looking for a handful of big men to add to the roster, provided they've got the skill, and he already has a couple of targets in mind.
