AEW is gearing up to produce its major event, Double or Nothing, which launched them into professional wrestling in 2019. The event will take place on Sunday, May 25, at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, and is expected to be a blockbuster like each year.

#4. Eddie Kingston

Eddie Kingston has been out of action since suffering a leg injury, fracturing his tibia and tearing his meniscus and ACL at the NJPW Resurgence event last year. The Mad King has been spotted rehabbing for months, and there was a huge reaction recently on social media where fans hoped to see his return at Double or Nothing.

Should he be cleared for return, Kingston can make his presence felt in the Anarchy in the Arena match. This could lead to a moment with his former ally, Jon Moxley, while also having an altercation with his rival, Gabe Kidd.

#3. Britt Baker

AEW original Britt Baker's last match took place on an episode of Dynamite last November. Major speculations have been made regarding Baker's rumored exit from Tony Khan's company, but nothing has been confirmed.

Amid the drama that has unfolded, should The Doctor be able to patch things up with All Elite Wrestling, she could make her shocking return at Double or Nothing. Interestingly, she did the same at last year's Forbidden Door event and has a chance to repeat history at one of AEW's major events.

#2. Cope

Cope was betrayed by his real-life friends and allies, FTR, back at the AEW Dynasty event. Following their loss in a trios match, Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler launched a major beatdown on The Rated-R Superstar, and he has not been seen on television since that night.

The former WWE Champion might have recuperated from that attack in his absence and make a massive comeback at the Double or Nothing event. Cope could return after FTR's bout with Nigel McGuinness and Daniel Garcia to begin their feud, which would be a spectacular storyline.

#1. Darby Allin

Darby Allin recently accomplished one of the greatest accolades in the world by climbing to the top of Mount Everest. He took a hiatus from All Elite Wrestling to embark on this expedition, and following his success, he garnered major attention beyond the wrestling world.

Tony Khan can capitalize on Darby Allin's incredible feat by bringing him back at AEW Double or Nothing. This could be the start of his feud with former rival, Jon Moxley, and begin his pursuit of the top prize in the company, the AEW World Championship that he has been eyeing for years.
