AEW Full Gear - 5 Possible surprises- Major WWE faction shows up led by former RAW GM, Unexpected industry-changing heel turn  

AEW Full Gear is ground zero and potentially the site for the most exciting pay-per-view of the year. Yes, the matches are guaranteed to be excellent, but much like All Out, this show too could be loaded with surprises.

So let's look at five potential surprises that would take place at AEW Full Gear, sending the wrestling world into a frenzy and taking things to the next level. Do weigh in with your thoughts, views, and comments in the section right below.

#5 Eric Bischoff shows up at AEW Full Gear to take the fight to Tony Khan

Do pay close attention to this one, because this one surprise will spin off into several others. As we know, Tony Khan and Eric Bischoff have been engaged in a war of words. Both men have taken shots at one another, and one has to wonder, like with anything in pro wrestling, whether it's a shoot or a work.

Vince Russo shed some light on this during a recent Sportskeeda appearance:

"I guarantee you, it's going to be a match and Tony Khan is going to go over. Eric Bischoff is way, way, way too smart to piss off Tony Khan and piss away that potential payday. He's way too smart for this. Everybody's buying into this and I'm like come on, this is 100% a work," said Vince Russo.

Could Eric Bischoff show up at AEW Full Gear to kick off the most realistic angle since the nWo?

Flanked with two soldiers on either side, this debut at AEW Full Gear could remind the world that there's another promotion nipping at WWE's heels.

And who better to lead the charge than the man who actually beat Vince McMahon? The one and only, Eric Bischoff!

#4 Braun Strowman is Bischoff's first lieutenant

Could Braun Strowman show up at AEW Full Gear? Many fans were disappointed not to see him at IMPACT Wrestling's marquee pay-per-view event, Bound for Glory. But his Full Gear appearance could be just what the doctor ordered.

What would be even crazier is if Braun Strowman showed up with Eric Bischoff to make a formidable coalition. Nash and Hall changed the industry in 1996, and Braun Strowman could be the architect of a brand new wrestling war.

#3 The other lieutenant to show up at AEW Full Gear- Windham

Sure, Bray Wyatt is off filming a movie at the moment. That doesn't mean that he couldn't show up by Eric Bischoff's side, much like 'Monster among Men' Braun Strowman, as illustrated in the previous point.

Wyatt and Strowman's arrival at AEW Full Gear will make the wrestling world take notice, including lapsed fans who may have stopped watching the product. There is a war on the horizon, and the first salvo may be fired at AEW Full Gear.

#2 Sarah Logan shows up at AEW Full Gear by Ruby Soho's side

At AEW Full Gear 2021, could Sarah Logan and Ruby Soho reunite? With Liv Morgan on top of the world in WWE, could Logan and Soho take the AEW women's division by storm?

Hey, if Soho goes up against Dr. Britt Baker again, she may need some backup against Rebel and Hayter. No one could be better than her former stablemate, Sarah Logan.

#1 CM Punk turns heel and joins Eric Bischoff's stable

The last time anyone took the fight to Vince McMahon coincided with Hulk Hogan turning heel. CM Punk is the only star in the industry who could turn heel and turn his back on AEW to create a similar impact (albeit in storyline).

The setup is perfect, too, because, at AEW Full Gear, CM Punk is fighting Eddie Kingston, the biggest babyface in pro wrestling. Could Bischoff claim that CM Punk is his ace weapon... the leader of his faction?
