The biggest news coming out of the episode is that up-and-coming independent star Jungle Boy has officially signed with AEW. It is likely he will be a part of the Double or Nothing card.

Matt Jackson would take to Twitter after the announcement to show a picture of he, Nick and Cody with Jungle Boy to remind fans that it is official.

During the episode, Rhodes mentioned that one of the goals of AEW is to give athletes a chance to shine. These are generally stars that haven’t had that opportunity yet or deserve more of a spotlight. Furthermore, he hopes to take the knowledge he has learned throughout his career and learn from the mistakes he has made.

Here is what he had to say:

“We’re looking for… the word is fresh. Someone who, perhaps, hasn’t been granted an opportunity yet or somebody who is on the trend upwards and they’re just waiting for that moment. So we’re going to take our time and try and do it correctly and, you know, learn from the successes of our predecessors in that realm but also learn from the mistakes.”

For those wondering, Rhodes did not confirm who he would be facing at Double or Nothing. There had been much speculation that the announcement would confirm this.

He had the following to say:

“So who will I wrestle at Double or Nothing? I don’t know.”

For those wishing to attend Double or Nothing- it will take place on May 25 in Las Vegas, Nevada at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

An interesting video for a series that’ll surely have a lot of hidden details throughout the next few weeks to months. It’ll be interesting to see what AEW does with their roster. I’m sure we’ll all find out soon.
