Jack Evans, coach Jerry Lynn, referee Rick Knox join AEW
All Elite Wrestling has announced three new additions to the company.
In a video that Angelico posted confirming that he’s signed with AEW, it was revealed that Jack Evans will be joining him in the promotion. Angelico & Evans are former three-time AAA Tag Team Champions as Los Gueros del Cielo.
The other two additions AEW announced aren’t part of the in-ring roster. Former ECW and ROH World Champion Jerry Lynn has joined AEW as a coach/producer, while Rick Knox has signed with AEW as a referee.
PWG and Lucha Underground are among the promotions that Knox has refereed for. The announcement of Knox signing with AEW was made at Bar Wrestling’s show in Los Angeles, California on Wednesday night, with SoCal Uncensored noting that Knox will be the referee for The Young Bucks’ AAA Tag Team title defense against Pentagon Jr. & Fenix at Double or Nothing in Las Vegas on May 25.
The Young Bucks appeared at Wednesday’s Bar Wrestling show and made the announcement that Knox has signed with AEW.
Lynn and Knox both took part in All In last September as referees.
