How have the participants at AEW's first ever show fared in the year since?

This Saturday, All Elite Wrestling puts on Double or Nothing and, whilst it may not be the show we expected to see just a few months ago, it's still shaping up to be quite the night of wrestling.

Rewind just 364 days from Saturday and AEW were about to put on their first ever pay-per-view - the original Double or Nothing - and, my god, what a year it's been since then.

We've seen surprise debuts, incredible angles, disappointing feuds, and countless amazing matches since the first bell rang for AEW. Promises have been broken, expectations have been met and surpassed, and the one-time t-shirt company is now a major player in the world of pro wrestling.

Looking back at the now-legendary Double or Nothing 2019 with 2020 vision is a curious thing.

Many of the performers on that first show have become pillars of the company and many have gone onto win titles and main event pay-per-views. Others, however, took wildly different paths than what was expected of them, whilst a few aren't even with the company anymore.

Let's cast our smarky eyes back one year to see how every competitor on the main card of Double or Nothing I is doing these days.

The Double or Nothing pre-show featured a singles match between Kip Sabian and Sammy Guevara (both of whom are doing just fine) and a Battle Royale with too many people in it to mention.

The first match on the main show was a six-man tag pitting SoCal Uncensored (more on them later) and a contingent from Oriental Wrestling Entertainment (OWE).

Despite being based in China, the OWE team was made up of all Japanese wrestlers - El Lindaman, T-Hawk, and the legendary Cima.

Since their defeat on this night, only Cima has gone onto do anything of note for AEW. He defeated Christopher Daniels at Fyter Fest and was then used to put over Kenny Omega at Fight For The Fallen.

According to AEW's website, Cima has only competed in nine matches for the promotion, including two this year. However, T-Hawk and El Lindaman aren't even listed.

Ultimately, the point of this match was to showcase the talent from OWE, so it's not the end of the world that none of them went onto become major stars in the company. Still, Cima is a very talented wrestler, so it would have been nice to see a little more of him at least.
