5 bold predictions for All Out 2021: Top AEW star returns, Sting to make a big mistake?

#4. AEW star Sting accidentally costs Darby Allin the match

A rivalry between these two men would be a delight to watch!

One of the most intriguing matches at AEW All Out will be the first-ever singles match between CM Punk and Darby Allin.

The Straight Edge Superstar took the internet by storm when he made his highly-anticipated AEW debut on Rampage. His sensational return to professional wrestling was itself big enough to create a buzz. However, CM Punk brought an extra layer to it by choosing Darby Allin as his first opponent. It is a match that doesn't require a significant build-up since the presence of the former WWE superstar would intrigue fans in the arena.

As exciting as the match sounds, the outcome is predictable, with CM Punk picking up a win in his first match with the company. However, Tony Khan could play an unexpected trump card that could play a decisive role in the finish.

It could be a long shot, but Sting accidentally costing Darby Allin against CM Punk could leave fans in a state of shock.

In the professional wrestling business, friendships, especially between mentors and students, don't last long. The company could tease a future explosion of the bond between Sting and Darby Allin at All Out.

#3. Ric Flair emerges as the new manager of Andrade El Idolo

Ric Flair and Andrade El Idolo will make quite a pair in AEW!

Andrade El Idolo and PAC will face each other in a singles match at All Out. The Mexican star had intended to have a big name as his manager in the company. Tony Khan certainly brought legendary managers from the bygone era. From Vickie Guerrero to Chavo Guerrero, the stock of Andrade has increased immensely.

There's no doubt Chavo is the perfect lethal talking weapon for the former WWE superstar. However, there's no such thing in the wrestling world bigger than family. Speaking of which, rumors of Ric Flair joining AEW could materialize at the upcoming pay-per-view.

Fans already saw what Andrade and Ric could do in the same ring when the former had a match with Kenny Omega at Triplemania a few weeks ago. The Mexican star himself stated that he wants to bring Ric Flair and his fiance to AEW.

Charlotte Flair may be a WWE lifer for now, but The Nature Boy could be on its way to AEW.

He doesn't even have a non-compete clause which makes him eligible to appear at All Out. Imagine Andrade coming out with Ric Flair in stunning fashion to defeat PAC. The moment would itself blow the roof of the building.
