Tony Khan, the co-owner, president, and CEO of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), has once again surprised fans by announcing three significant signings for the Jacksonville-based promotion. The new additions, Persephone, Hechicero, and Mascara Dorada, will join AEW while maintaining active roles in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) thanks to dual contracts. This move demonstrates AEW’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its roster and compete at the highest level in professional wrestling.
Since its launch, AEW has attracted numerous skilled wrestlers, including Josh Alexander, Megan Bayne, and Kevin Knight. Persephone, 24 years old, has been with CMLL since 2023 and recently impressed audiences by defending the CEO’s TBS Championship at the Forbidden Door event against competitors like Mercedes Mone, Alex Windsor, and Bozilla.

Mascara Dorada is no stranger to AEW fans, having competed there previously. He is a decorated wrestler with titles such as former CMLL Universal Champion, CMLL World Trios Champion, and Mexican National Lightweight Champion. His established record promises considerable potential for success in AEW.
Hechicero, currently the CMLL World Heavyweight Champion and a long-time member of the Don Callis Family, has now officially joined AEW’s roster. His arrival adds further star power and depth to Tony Khan’s rapidly growing company.
