There's also a good chance that the All In show will feature a few surprises, the biggest of which could involve one, or perhaps more former WWE stars appearing on the show in some capacity.
So, who could show up? Well, there are three names that come to mind, and honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if all three of the following ex-WWE stars end up having some type of role during tonight's event.
3 - Chris Jericho
Until recently, Chris Jericho said that he would never work for anyone other than WWE in North America, however, he's recently softened his stance on the issue, and it now seems likely that he's going to test the waters in other promotions aside from WWE in the North American market.
Recently, Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter had this to say about Jericho possibly showing up at the All In show:
"(Jericho) is willing to work anywhere if he thinks it's right. But nothing would surprise me because Jericho's whole deal is to surprise you anyway. So, he could go anywhere where there's someone intriguing and that's a new match for him, and gets his creative juices going, he could be there."
Chris Jericho is probably the most unpredictable free agent in wrestling, so you can never really know what to expect. But, at the same time, it probably wouldn't surprise anyone to see him make an appearance at All In.
2 - Neville
Ex-WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville was recently released from his contract, and, according to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, he's free and clear to work for anyone he wants.
It wouldn't surprise me at all to see Neville show up as a surprise in the battle royal, win the thing, and then go on to challenge Jay Lethal later in the night for the Ring of Honor World Championship. Also, I wouldn't even be surprised if he ended up winning the title.
During a recent edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer talked about the possibility of Neville showing up at All In:
"Neville is obviously not advertised to be anywhere. I have no idea what’s going on with him but contractually he could do it. WWE says he’s free and clear."
1 - CM Punk
The possibility of CM Punk appearing at All In has been talked about ever since it became public knowledge that the show was going to take place in his hometown of Chicago, Illinois. So, while Punk showing up would be a surprise, it'd be a surprise that everyone has been predicting for quite a while now.
If Punk does show up at the event, I wouldn't expect to see him have a match. But, it probably would be a good idea to have him lay someone out with the GTS.
Prior to his loss at UFC 225, Punk said the following about possibly appearing at the All In show:
"It's just not happening. Nobody has ever asked me, like straight up asked me to come wrestle for them. There's been: 'oh hey, if you ever wanted to do anything...' And I know what this is gonna sound like to a lot of people, but nobody's ever been like, 'hey, here's the deal, we're having a show, and we're gonna pay you X amount, and you're working against this guy, what do you say?' Nobody's ever done that."
"I don't think (I'd be interested in wrestling again) but it's a hard question to answer."
