#4. Keith Lee makes his AEW debut

Keith Lee, now free of the 90-day non-compete clause in his WWE contract, could turn out to be AEW's Forbidden Door signing this week. Dave Meltzer recently reported that the former NXT Champion held talks with Tony Khan and may have already agreed to a deal.

Fightful Select added fuel to the fire, recently noting that people within AEW are "unanimously speculating" that The Limitless One will show up on Wednesday night. With all signs hinting at Lee's impending AEW arrival, fans may be in for a treat this week.

If Lee debuts, he will be the favorite to defeat Isaiah Kassidy and earn a spot in the Face of the Revolution Ladder match next month.


#3. CM Punk challenges MJF to an "I Quit" match at Revolution

MJF shocked the wrestling world last week when he presided over CM Punk's first-ever defeat in AEW, but the former MLW star didn't finish the job alone. Pinnacle enforcer Wardlow handed Friedman the ring that helped put the final nail in Punk's coffin.

The dreadful loss must be eating away at Punk, and he'll be looking to take revenge on his rival immediately. Since Friedman is scheduled for a segment on Dynamite this week, The Straight-Edge Superstar might come out to confront him.

CM Punk could demand a rematch with MJF, with Revolution being the most likely platform.

Given the habitual interference of the Pinnacle in his matches, the former WWE Champion could dare MJF to face him in an "I Quit" match. Although convincing The Salt of the Earth to accept another bout would be challenging, Punk is well-versed in provoking opponents to get what he wants.
