After 3 good shows from All Elite Wrestling, they are returning to the Sears Center to run All Out in August, and given that this is the last AEW show before heading to TNT in the Fall, they are going to make it a good one. They have already got some amazing matches announced, with Moxley vs. Omega, Spears vs. Rhodes, and Jericho vs. Page all taking place in Chicago, but with AEW, fans should expect the unexpected.
Whether it's an AEW Superstar making their debut or someone completely unexpected, there's no doubt that there will be new blood arriving in Chicago. If AEW does it right, it could completely change the landscape of the company.
So without further ado, sit back and read along as we look forward to August 31st in Chicago, and predict 5 possible surprise appearances we could see at AEW's All Out.
#5 Sadie Gibbs
Sadie Gibbs is one of the most underrated signings that AEW has made in their short history, as she has the potential to be one of, if not the best, female professional wrestler on the entire planet. Since signing, AEW has hyped the arrival of Gibbs, but fans haven't heard much as of late and assuming there are multiple women's matches on the card, it gives her plenty of opportunities to leave her mark.
Gibbs provides a great look with natural charisma and unmatched athleticism, and if they can treat her like the star she is from the very beginning, they may have an ace of the Women's Division. She's still quite new into wrestling, but with experience in the UK as well as Japan, she's growing quickly.
If treated properly, we could be looking at one of the best wrestlers in the world in a year or two.
#4 CM Punk
While you may roll your eyes at this one, the announcement of CM Punk at Starrcast means fans are just one step closer to getting the Second City Saviour back inside a wrestling ring. If he doesn't want to come back, we totally get that, but given his history in wrestling and negative feelings towards WWE, joining the competition would be the perfect way to make his comeback.
Punk hasn't been in wrestling for over 6 years now, so he wouldn't be as crisp as he once was inside the ring. However, given his overwhelming star power, All Elite Wrestling would be wise to give him as much money as he wants. With the likes of Hangman, Jon Moxley, PAC, Kenny Omega, MJF and so many other rising stars in AEW, Punk would be the perfect guy to join the company. While fans aren't holding out hope, this one has all of a sudden become a lot more possible.
#3 LAX
Following Slammiversary, news came out that LAX (Santana and Ortiz) have finished with Impact, and an immediate bidding war would be starting between AEW and WWE for their signatures. Although the tag team division in AEW is stacked, it's clear that they are making tag team wrestling a much bigger priority than WWE, and with so many dream matches awaiting them, All Elite is the easy choice to make.
Over the past year, these two have been putting on incredible matches in Impact and on the independent scene, and with teams like SCU, Lucha Bros, Young Bucks, Private Party, and so many others, this would be the start of a great run. While fans can't count WWE and their money out, Santana and Ortiz know that they'd be valued more in AEW, and a surprise appearance at All Out would be a way to kick-start their careers there in style.
#2 Marty Scurll and Flip Gordon
When AEW was created, there were two members of the Being the Elite cast who were left behind in Ring of Honor, but rumors have been running rampant that both men could be available for All Out. The two have just recently come together in Ring of Honor, and given how their friends left them behind, bringing them in as a tag team to wreak havoc on All Elite Wrestling would be a fantastic story to tell.
We haven't seen much of them together in ROH, but on Being the Elite, 'Marty and Flip take Japan' was one of the most popular segments, and they'd be a perfect addition to the AEW Tag Team division. The night before All Out, both men will be in Chicago doing a signing for Pro Wrestling Tees, and while that doesn't automatically mean an AEW debut is on the way, it makes perfect sense.
#1 PAC
PAC was a huge signing for All Elite Wrestling, revealed at their first press conference in Jacksonville, but due to creative differences, he was pulled from Double or Nothing and hasn't been seen in AEW since. The Young Bucks recently revealed that PAC is still very much in their plans, and after losing his Dragon Gate Championship in the past few days, the creative differences may very well be in the past.
We still won't see PAC get pinned very often, as he is one of the biggest independent stars on the planet. Given that he now has no Championship to worry about, they can use him in more creative ways with plenty more freedom. With so many main event stars already on the roster, PAC has plenty of dream matches ahead of him, and if AEW can utilize him correctly, he'll be the biggest star that the company has.
