The AEW All Out PPV will take place from the NOW Arena in Chicago on Sunday night. It's set to be AEW's biggest pay-per-view yet and there could be a few surprise debuts on the show.
We take a look at a number of possible debuts, including the rumored debut of Daniel Bryan at AEW All Out.
#7 Could Daniel Bryan make his debut at AEW All Out?
The biggest rumor heading into AEW All Out is the debut of former WWE Champion and fan-favourite Daniel Bryan at the show. Bryan was originally rumored to be debuting at the Grand Slam show in New York later this month, but reports suggest it will now be at AEW All Out instead.
When asked about the rumors on Wrestling Observer Radio, Tony Khan refused to comment:
"I can't answer that question but I mean, it's fair for you to ask that question. It's not anything I can address on the Observer today but it's fair enough for you to ask it. He's one of the all-time greats," said Tony Khan.
Bryan Alvarez of F4WOnline also commented on rumors of Daniel Bryan debuting at All Out on a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Live. According to Bryan Alvarez, everything he had heard was pointing to Daniel Bryan debuting at All Out on Sunday night, although he wouldn't 100% confirm it:
"Here's what I can tell you about Daniel Bryan. I have been told that he will debut at All Out. Okay? I will not say 99.999999%. All Out is not in Aberdeen. They didn't rent out a separate building for the return of Daniel Bryan. I was told weeks and weeks ago that his debut was going to be in Queens, from a very good source and it's apparent now, it appears, he will not debut in Queens, so there was a change. I believe there was a change. I believe he will debut at All Out on Sunday but I won't give you a 99.9999%," revealed Alvarez
The report from Alvarez seems to confirm the original report by Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam.net. Haynes reported that Daniel Bryan's AEW debut was being brought up to All Out because of fears among AEW management about rising COVID numbers and possible mandates in New York ahead of the Grand Slam episode of Dynamite on September 22nd.
#6 Ruby Soho could debut at AEW All Out
A number of names have already been announced for the Women's Casino Battle Royale at AEW All Out 2021. However, with a few spots still open we can expect a couple of surprises. Among them are rumors of Ruby Soho fka Ruby Riott making her AEW debut.
Ruby Soho has already released a number of video teasers on her Twitter account already and a number of fans think he latest teaser is indicating that she could debut at AEW All Out. Check out the latest video teaser above.
#5 Adam Cole is expected to sign with AEW
Adam Cole's contract with WWE reportedly expired earlier this year and despite Cole wrestling Kyle O'Reilly at TakeOver, he is set to leave the promotion. According to a PWInsider report from a couple of days ago, WWE issued an internal memo advising that Adam Cole was no longer with the company.
Adam Cole is widely expected to sign with AEW, the company where his significant other Dr. Britt Baker wrestles and is the current Women's Champion. We don't yet know when Adam Cole can or will debut but there is a chance it could be at All Out this Sunday.
#4 The IInspiration fka The IIconics could debut at AEW All Out
Could we see Jessica McKay and Cassie Lee debut at AEW All Out? The team formerly known as The IIconics were released from WWE in April, shortly after WrestleMania. McKay and Lee will be known as The IInspiration going forward although we don't yet know which promotion they will sign with.
We don't know if AEW are interested in signing the talented duo but they would be great additions to the roster and the Women's Casino Battle Royale could be the perfect time to debut the duo.
#3 Could Buddy Matthews fka Buddy Murphy sign with AEW?
Following his release from WWE on June 2nd, Buddy Matthews, formerly known as Buddy Murphy's non-compete clause has just expired, meaning there is a chance he will show up at AEW All Out. Obviously this is dependent on whether the promotion is interested in signing the talented Australian, who would be a great addition to their already stacked roster.
There were rumors that Matthews could be on his way to IMPACT but as of now, nothing has come of those. Matthews has been teasing his post-WWE return to pro wrestling with vignettes posted on his Twitter. There is a slight chance he could debut at AEW All Out
#2 Ric Flair could show up at AEW All Out
Ric Flair could show up at AEW All Out, after he was surprisingly released from WWE last month. He also showed up at TripleMania in Mexico, accompanying Andrade to the ring. The AEW star is engaged to Ric's daughter Charlotte Flair.
There have been rumors heavily linking Ric Flair to a move with AEW. Ric is friends with Tony Khan, but it must be noted that the 16-time world champion recently shot down rumors that he is headed to AEW during an appearance on Renee Paquette's podcast Oral Sessions:
"I can also tell you, people started rumors. I’m not going to get into it. No need for that, ‘Oh, he’s going to AEW. He and Tony Khan are friends.’ Yeah, we are friends. But I haven’t heard a word from Tony. If he asks you, tell him I’m around," revealed Ric Flair.
With PAC out of AEW All Out due to travel issues, this could be a chance for Ric Flair to debut alongside Andrade for a promo segment, if that's a direction the company chooses to go in.
#1 Adam Scherr fka Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman was another surprising release from WWE earlier this year in June. The former WWE Universal Champion has been teasing a return to the ring, possibly under the ring name 'Titan'.
Although we don't know which promotion Strowman is heading to following his release from WWE, AEW could be an option if Tony Khan is interested in signing the Monster Among Men.
Fans have theorized that Paul Wight could be replaced by Braun Strowman in his match at AEW All Out, although that seems more than a little unlikely.
