Table of Contents
Former IMPACT Wrestling star Jake Doyle, previously known as Jake Something, has officially signed with All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The proclamation came during a pre-AEW dynamite segment on social media, signaling a important addition to the promotion’s roster.
The Backstory: jetspeed’s Attack and The Demand’s Bounty
The circumstances surrounding Doyle’s arrival unfolded as Renee Paquette reported that JetSpeed was attacked prior to a scheduled trios match, reportedly due to a bounty placed by The demand. Ricochet, along with the Gates of Agony, and AEW National Champion Don Callis, then revealed they were involved in facilitating the attack, having offered a monetary reward for taking out JetSpeed.
A New Force in AEW: Doyle and Davis
Callis then introduced Jake Doyle alongside Mark Davis, explicitly stating they are a new team and “going to kill some people.” This establishes a clear intent for a dominant and aggressive presence in AEW’s tag team division.
Doyle’s Previous AEW Experiance
While this marks a full-time commitment, Doyle isn’t a stranger to AEW. He previously wrestled three matches on AEW Dark in May and June 2022, facing off against Jay Lethal, Danhausen, and Matt Sydal. although he didn’t secure victories in those initial appearances, this prior experience suggests a familiarity with the AEW style and surroundings.
Transition from IMPACT Wrestling
Doyle’s contract with TNA Wrestling (now IMPACT Wrestling) expired at the end of the previous year,opening the door for his move to AEW. His departure from IMPACT leaves a void in their roster, while his arrival adds considerable talent to AEW’s already competitive landscape.
Implications and Future Outlook
The formation of this new tag team, comprised of Doyle and Davis, instantly creates a compelling dynamic within AEW’s tag team division. Their proclaimed aggressive intent, coupled with Callis’s management, suggests they are poised to quickly become major contenders for the AEW World Tag Team Championships. The absence of Mike Bailey and Kevin Knight from their scheduled trios match further emphasizes the immediate impact of these developments.
