Fans on social media have got their minds racing after the news that AEW is planning a big surprise for their special June 17th event at the United Center in Chicago, with some getting very excited at the thought of a former WWE Superstar debuting for Tony Khan's promotion.

In the most recent edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer speculated that there will either be a big debut or a return for the June 17th show, which is also apparently set to feature the AEW return of CM Punk.

Given that the report said it could either be a debut or return, fans have speculated a number of high-profile names, including a potential return for former TNT Champion Miro to a huge debut for WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg.

One name that has been thrown around is former three-time WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee, now known as AJ Mendez. Fans on Twitter seem very excited about the possibility of seeing AJ in AEW.

Mendez currently works as a producer and color commentator for Women of Wrestling but hasn't stepped foot in the squared circle as an active competitor since retiring in 2015 due to severe damage to her spine.

AJ has been married to CM Punk since 2014, so seeing them on the same show in the city where they live will surely be a wholesome moment. Will she make an appearance? Only time will tell!

Another former champion recently made their AEW debut

AEW President Tony Khan has brought a number of high-profile names to his company so far in 2023, with the likes of Jay White, Mark Briscoe, and Komander receiving huge responses from fans.

However, his most recent acquisition caught everyone by surprise as former NXT North American and Tag Team Champion Roderick Strong made his shocking debut on the April 26th edition of Dynamite.

Strong hit the ring to help Bandido, Orange Cassidy, and his long-time friend Adam Cole fight The Jericho Appreciation Society before officially being given the "All Elite" graphic on social media.

Many were under the assumption that Strong was still under contract with WWE, with fans even pointing out that he was still on WWE's roster page when he made his AEW debut. However, he is now an official part of All Elite Wrestling and will make his in-ring debut next week on Dynamite.
