Fans can also expect the highly anticipated one-on-one match between Jon Moxley and Darby Allin to finally take place at the PPV, and if you're a true AEW fan, you'll know there will be an extreme stipulation involved in the match.

All Out is considered one of Tony Khan's most prominent annual pay-per-views, and many of the promotion's top stars will likely be competing, opening up a lot of possibilities. With that in mind, here are three early predictions for AEW All Out 2025.

#3. Mark Briscoe could dethrone AEW TNT Champion Kyle Fletcher

Mark Briscoe has been gaining a lot of momentum lately in the Jacksonville-based promotion is that of. The 40-year-old star is one of the most popular faces in the promotion right now, feuding with stars like MJF and Ricochet.

WWE has given up on Paul Heyman? Here's the story!

This Wednesday on AEW Dynamite, Briscoe appeared on screen to address the crowd. He first introduced his newborn baby, then weighed in on his gruesome altercation with Friedman, who had tied him up and threatened to set him on fire, before finally challenging Kyle Fletcher for his TNT Title when Dynamite returns to Philadelphia in a few weeks.

For those unaware, Philadelphia is where Mark and his late brother, Jay Briscoe, rose to prominence in wrestling, which explains why Mark wants the match to be held there. However, considering the potential of both stars, Tony Khan will most likely extend the storyline beyond Dynamite, with Briscoe finally defeating Fletcher in a rematch at All Out.

#2. Nick Wayne might return to help FTR beat Cope and Christian

The much-awaited tag team match between FTR vs. Cope and Christian Cage was finally made official this week on Dynamite. The bout will be held at All Out in Canada, the hometown of both the Rated-R Superstar and the former Patriarchy leader.

On Dynamite, Christian Cage mentioned that the legendary duo was done dealing with his (Cage's) problem, and now it was time to focus on Cope's problem, i.e, FTR. However, one man that Cage has not dealt with yet is his former protege, Nick Wayne, who was supposed to face him and Cope at Forbidden Door. The ROH World Television Champion had to bow out at the last minute due to a legitimate foot injury, and the returning Luchasaurus replaced him. Wayne even referred to it as a lost opportunity.

At All Out, Tony Khan could have Wayne return from injury and cost his former mentor and Cope their match against FTR.

#1. Karrion Kross could make his AEW debut and join the Death Riders

Karrion Kross was part of WWE for several years before departing the promotion earlier this month after his contract expired. Since leaving the sports entertainment juggernaut, Kross has been seen in GCW, along with his real-life partner, Scarlett.

Fans of pro-wrestling are well aware of the talent that the Herald of Doomsday has, and Tony Khan could take this opportunity to surprise everyone by bringing him into AEW at All Out, which might be the perfect platform for Kross' debut. Interestingly, Kross had previously had the opportunity to work with All Elite Wrestling, which he had declined.

At the pay-per-view, Kross could interfere in the match between Darby Allin and Jon Moxley on behalf of the Purveyor of Violence and join the Death Riders as its newest member.

Given the 40-year-old's popular gimmick of being dark and formidable, Kross would fit right in and bring a new dimension to the group.
