Paul Wight, fka The Big Show, made his AEW Dynamite debut this week and dropped a massive scoop. He teased a massive signing of a "Hall of Fame worthy" talent at this Sunday's AEW Revolution 2021.

On the AEW Unrestricted podcast, AEW President Tony Khan confirmed the announcement and further hyped it by claiming that a huge star will come and sign a multi-year contract with the promotion.

"This Sunday a major star in the world of wrestling, a huge, huge star is going to come and sign a multi-year contract with AEW on Sunday at the pay-per-view. I can confirm what Paul said is true. Paul's talking about a big surprise, and that's that's no joke. What he said to you I can confirm is true."

The announcement has led to massive speculation among the fans as to who this star could be. The first name that always pops up in such scenarios is that of former WWE Champion CM Punk. However, he has claimed through his Twitter post that it is not him. While it could be a swerve, we have not included him in this list.

Let's take a look at five possible options who could be the hinted huge signing at AEW Revolution this Sunday. Be sure to comment down and let us know your predictions.


#5 Tessa Blanchard debuts at AEW Revolution 2021

In its relatively short period of existence, AEW has had several memorable rivalries and matches. While there's no doubt that the promotion has some of the best talents in the world, one startling issue with AEW has been its women's division.

In comparison with NXT, AEW's women's division needs more depth and hence, this hinted signing at AEW Revolution could turn out to be a female star and who better than the former IMPACT World Champion, Tessa Blanchard.

There have been rumors of her being in contact with both WWE and AEW, and while Tony Schiavone stated that he doesn't think that'll happen anytime soon, the statement could very well be a red herring. Tessa Blanchard joining the promotion would be a massive boost to its women's division.

#4 Kurt Angle joins AEW

There are a lot of questions around Paul Wight's announcement on AEW Dynamite this past week. He claimed the new AEW signee will be "Hall of Fame worthy", but which Hall of Fame is he talking about? Could he be talking about someone who could become part of the AEW Hall of Fame in the future?

If yes, then one can't rule out the possibility of the person in question being Kurt Angle. While Angle has been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as well as multiple other wrestling Hall of Fames as well, but he is someone who might just have one more run left in him.

Kurt Angle has opened up about how he wasn't very happy with his final run with WWE and his retirement match being against Baron Corbin at WrestleMania 35. Taking into consideration some of his recent pictures, Angle looks to be in great shape to step inside the ring once again. He could certainly bring a lot of mainstream attention to AEW if he signs with the promotion. Of course, his health should be the priority over anything else.

#3 Thea Trinidad signs with AEW

In the last couple of years, several released WWE Superstars have signed with AEW and have opened up about their issues with the WWE creative. Some of these names include Jon Moxley (fka Dean Ambrose), Miro (fka Rusev), and the most recent one - Paul Wight (fka The Big Show).

One massive star that parted ways with WWE last year in a controversial manner was Thea Trinidad (fka Zelina Vega in WWE). Her release came after WWE's new third-party ban rules due to which the Superstars were made to close their Twitch accounts.

During a recent appearance on Wrestling Observer Radio, AEW President Tony Khan mentioned that he was waiting for her 90-day "non-compete" clause to get over and seemed very interested.

"Isn't she on a 90-day non-compete? I think she was on a non-compete last time I checked, so I've been waiting for that"

Thea Trinidad's non-compete clause came to an end last month, which allows her to now sign with AEW. While she was mostly featured as a manager on WWE TV for the last few years, she is a talented wrestler who could help solidify AEW's women's roster.

#2 Mark Henry shockingly signs with AEW

When AEW announced the signing of Paul Wight, fka The Big Show, the wrestling world was left shocked as everyone expected Big Show to be a "WWE lifer". There were no rumors or speculations of him joining AEW, which proved one thing that anything can happen in the current pro wrestling industry.

Another such name who many consider being a "WWE lifer" is former World Champion Mark Henry. The World's Strongest Man last appeared for WWE on RAW Legend's Night earlier this year - the night which also saw Big Show's final WWE appearance.

Recently, speaking on the Busted Open Radio, Mark Henry stated that he is planning to return to the ring for one more match in the next six months.

"Now, I'm walking on two feet, and I'm 325 pounds. I'm lighter, trimmer than I've ever been, and I plan on having a match sometime in the next six months."

Could he appear this Sunday at AEW Revolution 2021 and sign a contract with the promotion? AEW could surely play on the massive history between Henry and Paul Wight, aka The Big Show.

#1 Brock Lesnar stuns the world by joining AEW

The biggest signing for AEW this Sunday at Revolution that could change the landscape of the wrestling promotion will be that of Brock Lesnar. The Beast Incarnate has been one of the most dominating WWE Superstars but his contract with the company surprisingly expired last year.

Brock Lesnar last wrestled for WWE at WrestleMania 36 last year where he dropped his WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre in the main event of Night Two of the pay-per-view. There have been several rumors of him making a return but none of them have materialized so far. WrestleMania 37 is just a month away now and with him not returning to WWE programming yet, the chances are that he might have not yet signed a new contract with them.

Brock Lesnar appearing at AEW Revolution will bring all the attention to the promotion and will undoubtedly be the biggest AEW signing to date. While signing Brock Lesnar would mean that AEW President Tony Khan will have to offer him a massive money-heavy contract but as we've seen with the promotion recently - nothing can be ruled out.
